Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative. In this series we will review the new television show Picardwhich is currently streaming on CBS. Today, Episode 10, “Et in Arcadia Ego-Part 2”.
SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth.
Episode 10, Et in Arcadia Ego-Part 2. Jurati uses subterfuge to free Picard from house arrest. Narek allies with Rios and Raffi to destroy the beacon calling the super-synths to the planet. They head into the settlement while Picard and Jurati go to the now empty Rios and take off to thy and hold off the Romulan fleet. On the Artifact (Borg Cube) 7/9 finds Narissa trying to activate weapons on the cube and kills her after a fight (for Hugh). Elnor, Rios, Raffi and Narek go into the settlement to try and destroy the beacon. Picard and Jurati fly up to meet the Romulan fleet and perform a variation of the Picard Maneuver. General Oh gives the order to “sterilize the entire planet but Picard (and the Orchids) distract her long enough for Riker and the Fleet to arrive and save the day. Picard’s terminal condition arrives and he dies after saving the planet. He meets Data who asks to “die”. Picard, resurrected as a synth obliges. The crew of the La Serena flies off for new adventures.
