[QUOTE]Originally posted by Krenim: [QB] Not gonna lie, this was an awesome season premiere. Then again, I thought last season's premiere was pretty awesome, and... well... We seem to have had a time jump of several years, but couldn't quite nail down exactly how long. Picard's back at the chateau. Not only is Laris back, but she's been promoted to main cast! AWESOME! Zhaban's dead?! BOO! Picard and Laris seem to have developed feelings for each other following Zhaban's death, but Picard is holding back. Elnor's now a Starfleet cadet, which gives him something to do (hopefully). Seven of Nine has been given La Sirena for use in her Fenris Ranger-ing. She fighting some goons who are trying to steal her supplies... and one of them taunts her by calling her ugly. Dude. DUDE. It's Seven. She's hot, Borg implants included. Soji and Jurati are at some function with a bunch of Deltans. Those who were saying Jurati got off too easy with killing Maddox will be pleased to hear that she her trial had just ended (not guilty by reason of having the Admonition shoved her brain by Oh). It also seems that Jurati and Rios have broken up. Speaking of Rios, he's back in Starfleet and is now captain of the new USS Stargazer. An anomaly has been detected, and with Jurati back on board, goes to investigate. Musiker's also back in Starfleet, posted to the Excelsior (I'm assuming a new one) to keep an eye on Elnor. The Stargazer arrives at the anomaly at the same time as La Sirena. Rios is horrified at how beat-up his old ship is. Jurati determines that a signal coming from the anomaly is a bunch of voices saying "Help us, Picard." Picard goes to visit Guinan. Guinan reveals that El-Aurians can age if they want to, since obviously Whoopi Goldberg isn't actually ageless. Picard is enlisted by Starfleet to go to the anomaly. The full message sent also includes a wish to join the Federation. When Picard responds to the message aboard the Stargazer, a ship exits the anomaly. A Borg ship. Some weird Borg ship we've never seen before. A fleet of ships arrives to face the Borg. And this is where things get kinda weird. On the one hand, we don't have a copy-and-paste fleet of Inquirys. YAY! On the other hand... We've got got some ships from Star Trek Online. Don't get me wrong, I love STO, but I feel like this is kinda lazy having to bring in ship classes from a video game. The Borg Queen beams aboard the Stargazer... and this is not like any Borg Queen we've seen before. Not even in the trailers. She's got some helmet and cape on. Why do I get the feeling that this Borg Queen is NOT the one we're expecting? She easily starts taking control of the Stargazer because its been built using technology reverse-engineered from the Artifact cube. Okay, so I lost track of how many times Rios ordered his crew to stop firing... and yet they kept firing. What the heck? Picard initiates the auto-destruct, and when the timer reaches zero, everything goes to white. Picard awakens back in Chateau Picard, except things are off. Laris is gone, and there's an android tending things instead. And then Q makes his appearance. MinutiaeMan gets his wish as Q momentarily appears de-aged. It's not a terrible effect, but could be better. Fortunately, it doesn't last long, as Q notices Picard has aged, snaps his fingers, and is now present-day John de Lancie. So good to see Q again, no matter how bad this season might turn out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
