[@rossrobson91]

What an amazing scene, it’s like he’s trying to figure out why he has no memory from the moment he made a copy of his data onto b4, Geordi though was fantastic, his voice and the way he comes across it’s like he hasn’t been away for the last 20 years, flawless performance from everybody during this scene, Geordi will most likely work his magic to correct the personality problems by the end of the season and data will be fully back but with all the knowledge of the others intact with no errors.

Only two possibilities I could think of that would make sense for the changelings to want to bring in the Borg if that's their plan. Firstly this group is already controlled by the borg seems simple enough. Secondly they control some portion of the borg. It is possible the great link is in essence a semi hivemind so maybe enough changelings together could overpower the collective. Unlikely but possible as that is it makes more sense than them wanting to bring the borg in just to take it to the fed as once the borg assimilate the fed and AQ nothing will stop them from eventually heading to the GQ.

My Prediction: Locutus of Borg returns. The changelings will pump Picard's dead body with Borg nanoprobes and Jack's blood, the nanoprobes use the dormant link Picard has had to the Collective and the dormant personality of Locutus and he basically resumes his last mission - travel to Sector 001 and assimilate Earth. We've seen Borg technology reviving dead drones in Star Trek Voyager. It would actually play perfectly into why Shaw’s backstory is Wolf 359 and both him and Picard (and Seven to a degree too) will have to confront this common Borg trauma again.

The borg assimilating the great link would be a fun idea as well, that would be the pinnacle for them I feel

they cant control the BORG. The Changelings are way to weak. Could not even hold deep space nine... My guess is that ODO is the main villain behind everything.

I was 9 when nemesis came out -but TNG had been a part of my childhood before that.... so the first time Data came back in Picard; I didn't really feel much just due to the sense of it being thrown in at the end,,,, BUT THIS - with the old Jery Goldsmith theme from nemesis - makes me tear up

@@scockery The second Defiant did not have a cloaking device, the original had one on lone from the Romulans, when it was destroyed so was the cloak. The second Defiant was originally the USS Sao Paulo but the registry was changed to Defiant. Because of money issues the show runners were not able to change the graphics on the shots to add the "A" to it so it was just the original model reused in the scenes.

I still find it ridiculous the all mighty federation cannot have cloaking tech due to some archaic accords a century earlier. Let’s allow every other faction access to top level tech and purposefully limit our own out of some level of righteous thinking? Ya ok. Sure. Lol.

[@TromboneConductor767]

This whole episode was so well done. A lot of fan service, but it was well integrated into the plot. But this scene was really something else. The way they filmed the scene, and constructed this set, calls back to the scene where they activate B4 for the first time, and the music, not just that theme, the whole thing is so close to the music at the end of nemesis with B4 and Picard. This was heartbreaking...
