They got the colors wrong by the looks of it, but I think they did a good job overall.

I think a coloring might look a little off because the lighting isn't exactly 1:1 like it was back on TNG.   Yeah we have more lights but they're also not as bright as on TNG sets.  They're still a bit lower.   Honestly I don't have a issue with the newer bridges not having many lights.   Maybe it's because I tend to sit at my desk on my PC with the lights off.

I really hope this means we've got our spinoff series set now.

Indeed a great episode and an excellent season and love the little humor sprinkled in here and there.  I hope they start writing future Star Trek series with these writers..

Spoiler

See I told you Q really don't die 😛

I was really hoping Wesely would have shown up for a family get together :(

Nice to 'hear' Chekov son being president and to bring back Walter Koeing to play him.

I don't think he's "alive".   When Jack says he's suppose to be dead, Q says not to think so "linearly".  Meaning Q can go anywhere in time he wants, back and forth.    In that sense he never really dies I guess, because he can time travel.

I took it as more of  a yes, Q did die at the end of S2  but he's meeting Jack at an ealier point in his own timeline / existance.  It kinda informs Q that he dies / asscends in the presense of Picard, and it doesn't steal from us as the audience the importance and emotional significance of that scene.

If that is supposed to be the Ent-D from ST: Generations they got the bridge slightly wrong...

The bridge module is interchangeable within the top of the saucer section. My guess is that the Generation bridge (which yes is very different) was irreplaceable and so they used an older part.

Inactive borg vessels are still out there, in fact theres an episode of ST Prodigy called "Let Sleeping Borg Lie" that highlights the perils of curiosity 🫥

First season of Picard there were also derelict Borg cubes.

Spoiler

But "this" queen came from the Delta quadrant I believe.

There's left over cubes for sure but as far as we know, no prime timeline/universe queen to give commands.   People need to remember that the Jirati queen is from that Q created alternate timeline that decided to pop over.  And even then it's just her, one funky looking ship and that's it.  

As far as s3 goes though, they've basically just ignored s1 and s2.

It was irreplaceable so they...replaced it?

Prodigy takes place between Lower Decks and Picard in the timeline. Some 10-15 years earlier.

No.

Spoiler

They mention Jurati's Borg (indirectly as the "weird s*** on the Stargazer). How Q was supposed to be dead. Picard's synth body. Data dying "again".  The L.A. Ten Forward. Nepenthe and Riker/Troi's son having died. Fenris Rangers. Picard "waiting to die". Laris (albeit briefly). Raffi's history as an addict and her estranged son and not seeing her grandchild - we saw her son's pregnant wife on Freecloud. 

It's spread throughout the show and those references are more satisfying having watched Seasons 1 & 2.

When the Borg are involved 15 years is nothing, its just a matter of time. I'm sure at some point over the next few hundred years the right cube will get activated seek out other cubes and rebuild what it can of the collective. I'm sure they'll resurrect a queen too despite her individuality and loneliness in the collective.

Maybe it has already been explained but who was that alien that Vadic had conversations with a few times?  Seems like he/she was her boss.

Spoiler

It was the Borg queen.

But as I recall it didn't look like her when she appeared in the finale.

It would give too much away if it did

How do you know it was the Borg Queen?  Ignoring the fact that it would give away the plot (as if we didn't know the Borg were the real bad guys) why would the Borg Queen disguise herself when speaking to Vadic?

Listen to the conversation between Picard and the Borg Queen.  She talks about their collaboration.

Again if they showed the Borg Queen talking to Vadic early into the season we’d know the Borg are the big baddy instead of the Changelings.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
