<< Do Raffi and Seven see Elnor as their son since they both lost their respective sons >>
That's probably something of an oversimplification, but not entirely wrong, either.
<< Are we gonna see the Enterprise on season 2? >>
I love the Enterprise, and I love you too, but I can't and won't ever be able to answer this question or any like it!
<< Is 7 now a reg member of the crew? What's their mission? why are they now warping off? >>
You are just going to have to wait and find out!
<< If you were to recommend one of your books to Picard, which book would you recommend? >>
Well, &sirpatstew was kind enough to tell me that he had enjoyed *The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay*,
so maybe I'd start there.
Why would we need to be "inspired by" any other show when we have #johneaves on our team?
There is no crew, in the usual Trek sense of the term. There is just our cast of characters.
<< Is there any significance to the hand holding between Raffi and Seven of Nine? >>
Answered elsewhere in this Story.
<< Was there ever a thought to give an ending where everything is not nice and neat? >>
"When did you stop beating your wife?"
<< Was there any thought to showing Picard see his former body? >>
No, but interesting!
<< Outstanding first season! Who sang Blue Skies in this episode? Amazing singer. >>
Dude! That was our own incredible, multi-talented superstar, @isacamillebriones!
She did not beam out, merely *away*. As seen during her fatal struggle with Hugh, she carries some form of
personal local teleportation device. It's a kind of panic button, set to beam her to a predetermined location,
or possibly a range thereof.
<< How long did it take you to write the final act to make it amazingly perfect? It made me shed a tear. >>
Fifty-six years.
<< Will the show deal with the philosophical implications of Picard's golemic return? >>
Will it, indeed.
<< What happened to Picard's real body? >>
Check eBay?
<< Did Picard Zoombomb that conversation between Oh and Riker? >>
LOL
<< What is your opinion of the shitty Daystrom Institute subreddit? >>
I have often found it amusing!
<< Do you wish you had made Seven and Raffi's relationship at the end a bit more explicit? >>
Um... when you say "explicit"...
<< Any chance of getting CBS to stream Picard in 4K? >>
CBS and I don't really talk about stuff like that.
<< Why was Maddox on Freecloud in the first place? He said his lab was destroyed. Why the lie? >>
Freecloud was the "launch site" for Dahj and Soji. That was where--in a lab financed by Bjayzl in exchange for
some unspecified work he was doing for her--he reprogrammed them, and sent them thence on their respective missions.
thankkkkk
<< Will we see cameos from TNG, DS9 & Voyager casts in season 2? Would <heart> 2 <eye> Janeway! >>
I know, I know.
<< Was the nameless drink that "passes for alcohol" a small nod to "it is green?" >>
Weird/unappetizing/toxic/oddly colored alcoholic beverages are just kind of a Star Trek tradition.
<< Is Seven part of the crew, now? >>
We don't have a crew, per se; we have a cast of characters, an ensemble.
<< Did Soji fully grasp that she was summoning a genocide of billions? >>
I think she struggled to. Her true consciousness is very new and unformed; while she is in some ways incredibly sophisticated,
in others she has far to go; and she has undergone recent, painful trauma.
<< By "beam" I meant the the beacon the Synths constructed turned from blue to red >>
Oh! Yes. I assumed that was some kind of Doppler effect.
<< <heart> the way Picard heal from Data's death thank u. Q.Will 7 stay on the crew next season? >>
I want to say yes, but people keep telling me not to. So, no.
<< Were Seven and Raffi and thing in the end? >>
Answered elsewhere in story.
<< I'm interested to know what was coming out of that beacon. Was that discussed in depth? >>
No. We just went, "Oh, my God, JZ (@jasonzvfz), that is so freaking awesome!"
Or do you mean, like, who are those guys, in the Butch and Sundance sense?
Yes, we talked about that a lot. I made a bunch of notes. At various points there was going to be a lot of
"the Alterity." At other points, none.
<< With the finale in the rearview, what would you say to your past self starting the project? >>
"Enjoy every sandwich." - #warrenzevon
<< Is Picard bothered being in a synth body considering his past as an exB? Is the Golem 100% organic? >>
He is as likely, perhaps more likely, to feel liberated by it, since it was never violated. And yes, his
body was organically cultured and grown.
<< Was the Shakespeare your idea, Stewart's or someone else's? It was glorious. >>
It was unquestionably and unmistakably @sirpatstew's lovely inspiration.
<< Will the crew be picking up Larissa and Zhaban in season two? we need more of those two! >>
We do, indeed!
<< Can ships warp within a solar system? >>
Canon is profoundly--and I would say, beautifully--self-contradictory on this subject, with ample evidence
to be adduced for both yea and nay. That is because canon was made by humans--lots and lots of humans, over
half a century, working on tight deadlines with crushing production schedules--not gods. That is why I love canon.
<< Were the synths from the beacon inspired by cosmic horror? I felt this vibe when they appeared >>
There is for sure an eldritch non-Euclidian slither of the Old Ones in the vibe.
<< Data's death is beautiful & sad. He looked quite perfect. Like no time passed. Thanks to makeup or CGI? >>
Both!
<< What happened to Oh? >>
She bugged out!
<< Riker will be boldly going after this or was this a one time thing? What happened to Clancy? >>
Clancy gives the orders!
<< Was the Starfleet Fleet as big as it appeared to be, or was there trickery at work? >>
No trickery!
<< Were there ever plans to do more with the Captain Crandall character? Maybe in S2? >>
Alas, I don't think anyone involved in Picard loves Captain Crandall like I love Captain Crandall, who
in my mind would be played by #DelroyLindo.
<< What was shot at Vasquez Rocks for the finale? >>
Not a frame!
<< Would the advanced synths be concerned that the beacon was abruptly stopped? >>
Who even knows, after 200,000 years, if they're still "advanced"? Maybe they've devolved.
