Star Trek: The Universal Thread

Post Reply New Topic

My bet is the Data in the trailer is a hologram.

The story begins after ambassador Spock has disappeared into a rupture in
the space time continuum creating the kelvin timeline in jj Trek.
This takes place in the prime universe picking up with the next generations crews adventures.

Romulus is going through a worldwide evacuation as it’s star is about to go supernova.
Leading that evacuation is captain Data coordinating a massive effort with a fleet of starships.

Romulus’s star explodes creating a shockwave that is racing toward the planet and certain destruction.
Captain Data thinks quickly employing Seven of nine and a fleet of Borg expats from the long defeated
Borg to save as many as possible with mass assimilation technology.

It's a brilliant and terrifying move and a questionable one, but the mission is only a partial success.
Those rescued were traumatized by the Borg ships appearing in their atmosphere and scooping
up Romulan's as if they were being assimilated.
This creates questions about Data’s leadership style and insensitivity to organics.

Meanwhile ambassador Picard is having a difficult time finding a home for Romulan refugees,
their sister planet Vulcan wants nothing to do with them and Starfleet have concerns with Data’s
support of Seven of nine and the Borg expats.
Starfleet draws Picard into direct conflict with Data.

Picard’s concerns are biased based on his abduction, imprisonment, and brainwashing by the Borg
and his trust for Data, now a captain with considerable accomplishments is being challenged.
To make matters worse Picard fears his irumodic syndrome the genetic disease sleeping in his cells
is waking up and loosening his grip on reality.
His only saving grace would come with help from the Borg and returning to his time as Locutus of
Borg to save the past the present, and himself.

It could be that less advanced Data from the Nemesis movie that was working for Shinzon. B4 was on the Enterprise in quarters at the end of the movie

Big announcements come with big expectations when it comes to Star Trek Picard.
Time to lower them, Data is not alive, not B4 and may be a simulation?
Along with that he won't be a main character but a "story point" according to Brent Spiner.

I will always have a soft spot for "The Original Series."

Nobody can match Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and all the rest of the gang!

Exactly!
