Jurati’s not going to let BQ take the ship. We see an illusion of Jurati and BQ apart. How May I Be of ServiceīQ/Jurati tries to inject wires into the ship to no avail. Pictured: Michelle Hurd as Raffi, Jeri Ryan as Seven, Santiago Cabrera as Rios, Orla Brady as Tallinn, and Patrick Stewart as Picard of the Paramount+ original series STAR TREK: PICARD. Picard wants to defend the ship no matter the cost but they didn’t bring much to fight with, just phasers and a phaser rifle. Using Tallinn’s ( Orla Brady) transporter, Picard ( Patrick Stewart), Raffi ( Michelle Hurd), Seven ( Jeri Ryan) and Tallinn beam outside the chateau. She finds BQ’s dead body, “Well, we’ve looked better.” She injects wires into the body which clothes Jurati in a BQ appropriate outfit. He, Teresa ( Sol Rodriguez) and Ricardo Steve Gutierrez) run as BQ/Jurati ( Alison Pill) beams onboard with assimilated soldiers. He sees soldiers beaming into the field outside the chateau. Rios ( Santiago Cabrera) discovers BQ activated the transporter remotely. RELATED: Read our full recap of Star Trek: Picard’s episode 8 “Mercy”, here. Ready to explore the end of the road not taken in Star Trek: Picard’s “Hide and Seek?” Let’s engage! She starts assimilating soldiers and the crew knows she’s coming for the La Sirena. At the end of last week’s episode, “Mercy,” BQ tells Soong that if Renee Picard goes on the Europa Mission, he’ll lose his legacy so he must stop the Admiral. Meanwhile, the Borg Queen (BQ) has co-opted Jurati’s body to assimilate Earth. Rios beamed Teresa and Ricardo to the La Sirena. ![]() Raffi is spiraling over Elnor’s death which has affected her relationship with Seven. Picard confronted his childhood trauma but Tallinn knows there’s more to it. That timeline’s Borg Queen (BQ) helps them travel to 2024 when the incursion happened. After the crew is sent to a totalitarian nightmare timeline, they realize Q went back in time to change the present. In the Original Series episode, “The Changeling,” Spock also mind melded with a straight-up robot named Nomad (sterilize!) and in “A Taste of Armageddon” even long-distance mind-melded through a door.Previously on Star Trek: Picard: The timeline is broken. Later, Spock returns the favor, by mind melding with V’Ger itself, while he’s wearing a space suit and gloves, I might add. But, in the context of Star Trek canon as a whole, check int out: V’Ger, a giant living machine that was 100 percent an A.I. Now, in the context of The Motion Picture, this meant that Spock needed to hang on to his human side a little longer, and figure out what was going on with this giant conciseness calling to him from space. This conciseness calling to you from space… it touches your human blood, Spock. (Sound familiar?) When Spock pauses during the ceremony, the Vulcan High Priestess demands a mind meld and then she says: And that’s because his brain is contacted by a superior A.I. He’s chilling on Vulcan, about to undergo the Kolinahr - a process where he would shed all remnants of emotion. You know that TNG theme music you love so much? The Jerry Goldsmith score? Well, that comes from The Motion Picture, and in that film - get ready - a super intelligent machine contacts Spock’s brain from across the entire galaxy. Wetware is not hardware, so whatever magic brain energy necessary to do the mind meld, shouldn’t work with a robot, right? Well, that would be a reasonable argument, assuming, you’d never seen Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Then again, some might argue that intelligent machines shouldn’t be able to possess the pseudo-telepathy from a Vulcan mind-meld. (We’re told in Episode 8 that Oh is half-Vulcan, half-Romulan.) So if Vulcan hybrids can do a skill normally reserved to Vulcans, the door is already open to other species figuring it out. Like Commodore Oh in Star Trek: Picard, Spock is only half-Vulcan. So, from its very inception the idea of who can do the Vulcan mind-meld was already loosey-goosey. Notably, Spock is only half-Vulcan since his mom, Amanda Grayson is a human. The Vulcan mind-meld originates in the TOS episode “Dagger of the Mind,” in which Spock probes the tortured mind of a prison inmate in order to get to the bottom of a confounding mystery all about people going crazy from a machine that is supposed to be healing them.
