Picard, Season 2-Episode 9

In this podcast series, two complete MCU fans, Tom Fox, founder of the Compliance Podcast Network, and Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative, indulge in a passion for all things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by re-watching each movie and then podcasting on every movie in the MCU. However, we will go in a different direction over the final two episodes in this series on Picard, Season 2 by reviewing episode 9.

In this episode, they discuss the concept of Jurati becoming the Board Queen and the implications of her journey. Fox and Dougherty highlight the profound impact of Seven of Nine’s transformation which enabled her to strike a balance between the human and Borg parts of herself, ultimately allowing her apparatus to return. They also explore the implications of drones like Soon and his manipulation by the Board Queen. By exploring these topics, Fox and Dougherty provide unique insights into the world of science-fiction, offering their in-depth analysis to listeners.

Key Highlights

The Strength of Seven of Nine in the Face of Immense Odds

The Sadness and Fear Surrounding 7 of 9’s Temporary Humanization Experience

“I want that on a t shirt, I think. If if the merch people are out there listening, please give us build a better board t shirts.”

“I love how Jurati saved her.”

“She was able to defeat her several times as the Borg Queen, tried to take over either to ship or engage in some activity. But I just thought it was delicious that Jurati became the Board Queen.”
