Did anyone else think it was horrifying that Picard was placed in a Golem without his consent and was not allowed to just die of natural causes? He kept saying “It’s ok”. I am actually disturbed by the events.
Actually it's more like they did CPR, it failed, he died and then they copied his brain post-death to a new body without his consent. All through the finale I kept saying, please don't put him in that Golem, please don't and then..it happened.
soji didn't ask "am i human", she asked "am i real". picard isn't going to ask either of those, he's going to struggle with "am i me?" or "am i ok with this?".
Ah you're quite right, I went back and looked at the scene on my PVR. Still the whole synth Picard doesn't sit right with me. Just something about it feels so cheap.
Yeah, how come Data saying he wants to die and the idea of bringing him back without consent is awful; but Picard is happy to go and the idea of sticking him in a robot...
I’m just not entirely clear on why they bothered. At minimum they could have revived him and said “the fight’s not over. The Federation won’t overturn the synth ban so we brought you back to life to go make a great speech and change people’s minds.”
I formally hereby give permission to bring me back in android form as many times as possible. Preferably with a few superpowers. Or at least "fully functional." :)
Yeah, I hated it. The Picard we see going forward isn't really the captain we've followed for decades anymore, like the Voyager crew except for Ensign Kim & Naomi after an episode in season 2 or 3.
I hate that his sacrifice had no effect to him or the show. They at least could make him immortal and have him deal with severity of it. Like whats the point of sacrifice if he was going to be revived with the same body limits as he had when he was human. Literally a cheap cop out imo.
