I thought I read that they could live up to 800 but also a lot of tech.
I think it makes sense that it’s Dax from a narrative standpoint. Who else would keep the flame for Sisko alive and who else would have the only copy of Anselum? For that reason I think it works.
Also I didn’t see it coming at all but in retrospect Tawny Newsome was channeling Jadzia in a bunch of subtle ways.
Also seeing Cirric Lofton warmed my heart. He was excellent in his scenes.
I am really enjoying SFA. It feels like they are showing us how the bonds that made Kirk-Spock-McCoy etc, so iconic and moving… they’re showing us how those bonds form, and why they last. Why after decades, Riker still says, “Wherever you go Jean-Luc, we go.” Why after centuries Dax still keeps Sisko’s memory alive.
I’m looking forward to the Paul Giamatti plot to pick back up, probably with a “War College and Starfleet have to work together to defeat the big bad” plot that we can all see coming but it will still work because its about the people more than the plot.
Also you know we are getting a Doctor ep and I can’t wait for Roberto Picardo to get center stage.
Also season 3 of Picard was, imo (which I know isn’t the most popular) the least interesting plot of the series, (You’re telling me a 24th century Chief Medical Officer of the Federation flagship had a secret oopsie baby? A 24th century doctor?) and to me was ALL fan service. (Also why was D suddenly able to maneuver like a fighter jet?) I still love it though and don’t care about those concerns, so what do I know? lol.
Yes up to 800; but the Dax symbiont would be around 1100+ years old at the time of Starfleet Academy
I was just having a little geek complaint about that part of the canon; like I said I even think they can do something to explain it--maybe Dax was placed in some kind of cryonic sleep at some point for 400 years or something--but I agree that the storytelling behind the episode was fine. And seeing Lofton reprise Jake and putting the voice over comment by Avery Brooks at the end was excellent. I did enjoy the episode, I just want more context on how Dax is where Dax is.
The only episode that I kind of snoozed on was episode 2; the rest of the season so far I have enjoyed quite a bit.
I loved Picard Season 3 even though it was all fan service. The D flying into the borg cube was an obvious millenium falcon riff but I don't even mind that haha
I think the criticism is fair. I’m giving the show the magic-science benefit of the doubt, especially since she was prof of Unexplained Mysteries and such.
I chuckled quite a bit at that commercial as well, even if that’s slightly embarrassing to admit.
Jay-Den: “This will leave quite a scar.”
Kyle: “What’s a soldier without scars?”
Jay-Den: “Are you sure you don’t have any Klingon in you?”
My brain immediately added this line…
Jay-Den: “… would you like one?”
