It's finally here, multiple times cancelled, and then renewed to all of our surprise by the CBS. This time you won't find it from the Netflix, instead CBS sold the product to Amazon. Therefore if you'll have access, I warmly recommend checking it out. Not that you really can keep your eyes out if you are a true Trekkie.
The Remembrance is a beautiful episode, an idyllic setting for our beloved Captain Picard... or should I say retaired StarFleet Admiral Picard, who to our surprise lead the StarFleet to rescue Romulus from a supernova destruction. But it wasn't that thing that made him to quit. It was the death of data and the uprise of the synthetic lifeforms. According to Picard they took over and set Mars on fire, before all synths were banned in the galaxy.
Think about it. They still have AI's, holograms, supercomputers, quantum storages, and all the other ultratechnology you can image for the galaxy spanning civilisation. But they do not have synthetic lifeforms, anywhere. At least not in the Federal Space that we know of, but when you look at the big picture, nothing has changed. It is still the same that it was, when Star Trek Discovery takes place and I am certain the black glad Romulans has something to do with the Section 13.
In fact, when you think about the thread the Discovery tried to prevent, it is still present. And with the current technology level, it should have no problem on finding enough of information about everything. But if we drop that and assume that the AI apocalypse never happens, then Dahjl presents a revolution in everything they knew.
What I don't like is that revelation about the sister being inside the derelict Borg cube. In theory they could have found a way to replicate, even update the outdated synthetic technology, and create the flesh-and-blood analogues. We know that similar kind of theories or rather hypothesis has talked about the soul transfer, or ghosts-in-the-machine, but so far nobody has been able to prove it. We don't exactly have a technology to do that, but in the ST Universe it should be possible. After all they brought Spock back from the death. They created a planet full of life. They even had the test bed and research for data, without ever being able to really replicate him.
Everything failed.
But according to Picard, and the revelation about the Other, they somehow managed to do the impossible. Where does it lead and how far into the dark side it leads? Would the Romulans be able to backengineer a Borg Cube? Or is a galactic rebellion faction that is on the case?
