Star Trek Picard S3 E9 Vox - 5 Biggest Nitpicks

Qapla' All... Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 9 "Vox" was released on Paramount Plus. If you don't have a hour+ to watch my review, this is a much shorter more polished video of my 5 biggest nitpicks with the episode. Some are more than nitpicks, it's just a nice way of saying "crippling plot holes." Nitpicks sounds better though so that is what we'll go with. From retconning the entire ethos of Star Trek to merely screwing with Starfleet history, from Data's inability to track a shuttle to turning transporters into disease vectors, there are nitpicks for everyone!

Memory Alpha Summary and Teaser:
A devastating revelation about Jack alters the course of Picard's life forever – and uncovers a truth that threatens every soul in the Federation. The final battle begins as Picard and his crew race to save the galaxy from annihilation – but not without a gut-wrenching cost.

"Nothing is more elusive than a door the mind doesn't wish to open," Troi says, as Jack Crusher stares down the corridor of his mind at the red door, the song "I Can't Stop Crying" projecting through the hall. Troi can sense his reluctance and fear but assures him he is safe. She points out the vines approaching the door, but Jack says he has no idea what they mean. Troi tells him that all symbols have some kind of meaning and urges him to think. He finally recalls the Crimson Arboretum on Raritan IV, a place he had visited with his mother as a child, and also recalls she "adored" the song they were hearing as well. Troi warns him not to get lost in it and stay with her. He recalls the song being less music and more memory, a code of sorts passed from his parents down to him. He remembers seeing thousands of flowers at the arboretum, all of them different on the outside, but beneath the soil, all were connected by the vines. He admits he does not find the idea comforting, but still right and true, purposeful, perfect. As they speak, the music slows and the corridor begins to darken.

In reality, Troi is sitting in the counselor's office aboard the USS Titan-A, holding Jack's hands, deep in concentration. Outwardly, Jack looks almost haunted, while inside his mind, his expression has hardened. Troi asks if Jack seeks to make such connections like the vines, and he admits he wants to make "many" connections. The voices, foremost among them his mother's, come from the door. Troi tells him his truth lies beyond it and asks if he would like her to open it, again assuring him he will not be alone. Jack finally agrees, and Troi slowly makes her way down the corridor to the door. As she opens it inside Jack's mind, in reality she suddenly awakens, stunned by what she has seen. She stammers out an apology and quickly flees from Jack, even as he demands to know what she saw in his mind. She makes her way down the corridor to sickbay, where Picard and Beverly Crusher look up worriedly at the expression on her face, asking what happened.

Behind the red door in Jack's mind, Troi had seen a Borg cube… and heard the voice of the Borg Collective.
