ThatDamnedHansel. Let’s talk about the s3 borg. At first I was a bit confused about the borg in S3. The fate of the collective at large was a pretty big mystery throughout 3 seasons. Season 1 the artifact had thousands of drones and when it was Re activated seven briefly became the queen.
Apr 21, 2023 · The New Queen refers to it as “a piece of the puzzle whose final image is unclear.” Unfortunately, Picard Season 3 takes those puzzle pieces and yeets them out of the airlock. Like Jurati’s ...
It was meant as a reference to the dangers of Agnes letting the Borg Queen into her mind, but it seems to me that the threat was always a two way street: the Borg Queen couldn't enter Agnes' mind without leaving herself open to the same scrutiny.

At the top of the episode, Picard freaks out on Dr. Jurati when she suggests that the former Borg can change. Picard spits, " Change! The Borg? They cooly assimilate entire planets, entire systems, in a matter of hours. They don’t change! They metastasize!” The scene references Picard's vengeance speech inFirst Contact, where he said: "They invade ...
When Jean-Luc heads to his holographic study, he asks the computer to search the following terms: "treaty" "reclamation project" and "the Borg." This prompts a deluge of Easter eggs. There's an image of the Enterprise-E in First Contact and an image of Hugh from the TNGepisode "I, Borg." The sequence ends with Picard seeing an image of himself as L...
Throughout the episode, Picard has several flashbacks to his time with the Borg collective. This marks one of the only occasions a Trek TV series incorporates footage from the films. We see footage of Borg drones from First Contactand hear Alice Krige as the Borg Queen. The archival footage of Locutus used in "The Impossible Box" is not from "The B...
When Raffi calls in favor to get diplomatic access for Picard, she's told that "the Romulans are in a 250-year-old bad mood." This number represents the entire time the Federation has even known about the Romulans. TheTOS episode "Balance of Terror" established that the first Romulan War happened about a hundred years prior. Later, Trek canon would...
Hugh tells Picard that "a new name is a new step to a new identity," and mentions he learned that on "the Enterprise." This again references the episode "I, Borg" in which the Enterpriserescued Hugh. It also kind of references the TNG two-part episode "Descent," where some of the other rogue Borg have names, too. Notably, "Descent Part 2" is the la...
Hugh alludes to the Borg Queen saying, "Only now our Queen is a Romulan." This could be a metaphor. Hugh could be saying the Romulans, in general, control them, so the idea of the Romulans is their "Queen." On the other hand, it may imply a female Romulan was running the Borg, or what's left of "the Romulan Free State." In theory, if the Romulans h...
Rios tells Raffi, "You owe me two strips of latinum," because she lost a bet. This is a reference to the currency used by people in Deep Space Nine, who operated outside of the boundaries of the Federation.
When Narek tries to kill Soji, he uses a deadly red mist that escapes from a specific box. Though it's not identical, this seems to reference a similar Romulan poison used to kill a bunch of Romulan senators in the opening scene of Nemesis.
Though it's barely audible, when Picard and Hugh go into Soji's room, a voice on the loudspeaker says various areas have been isolated due to "increased chronometric activity." The Borg used these particles to travel through time inFirst Contact. Is time-travel happening in secret? Or is this just leftover Borg tech acting up?
"The Impossible Box" ends with a crazy twist. Picard and Soji long-distance teleport off the Borg Cube using something called a "spatial projector." Hugh mentions that the Borg got this tech from the "Sikarians." This references an early Voyager episode called "Prime Factors," where the crew tried to obtain the spatial projection tech to get back t...
Apr 7, 2023 · As Locutus, Picard served as the Borg Queen's “consort,” which permitted him certain privileges of rank. The Queen fully intended to use Data as a replacement, suggesting that the position was far more important than just heralding the conquest of a new species.

Apr 20, 2023 · The Borg Queen, now physically decaying and surrounded by dead and dying drones, utilized Jack's unique biology to infect everyone in Starfleet under the age of 25 with a biological Borg virus, essentially making them organic drones.

The ship computer says "Warp drive failure" and there are explosions everywhere, while during the Borg Queen override, there's no mention of the warp drive (and it wouldn't make sense to have a warp drive alert, since the ship is not moving).
