People used to sometimes call their alter ego characters "their Mary Sue", but this usage has mostly died with the proliferation of the term as an automatic pejorative.
- the refugee camp village looked so real and so lived in. Re: Absolute Candor (104) There's also elements of the webseries Renegades - which used to be Star Trek : Renegades until CBS got their knickers in a knot over fan films. I could watch whole episodes just about that. Absolute Candor The crew's journey to Freecloud takes a detour when Picard orders a stop at the planet Vashti, where Picard and Raffi relocated Romulan refugees 14 years earlier.
- … - I am loving the Jurati character.
She better not turn out to be a bad guy. The whole "rag-tag bunch of misfits come together to save the universe". Prologue. There’s a cafe in the town square with a sign that says “Romulans Only,” and half of the nuns have pledged themselves as freeblades to protect normal people from the violence of the planet. In Absolute Candor, Picard stops at the Romulan planet of Vashti to pick up a new member of his crew, on their way to solve the mystery of the synthetics.
Android (sorry … synthetic life-form) Dahj has visions of Picard, visits him, and gets killed by renegade Romulans who may or not be working with a corrupted form of Starfleet Command. - Absolute Candor and the warrior nuns (no idea how to spell it) were so fascinating.
This thread will give you a space to process your first viewing of "Absolute Candor". In this thread, our policy on in-depth contributions is relaxed.
“One impossible thing at a time.” Let’s recap, shall we?
The original meaning, this one has lost prominence as a sole definition lately but still often gets invoked. Thankfully, “Absolute Candor” spends the majority of its time on Vashti, whose rustic charm has turned to dust and misery. In 2385, Jean-Luc Picard visits a Romulan Relocation Hub, on Vashti. Here you can participate in an early, shared analysis of these episodes with the Daystrom community.
The settlement is lively, and the Romulans seem to be getting accustomed to their new lives as they go about their daily routines.
The ragtag crew of La Sirena are finally on their way to Freecloud but Picard requests a diversion to Vashti, a planet where he once helped Romulans relocate before the full evacuation where Picard once befriended a child named Elnor who in the years since has become a socially awkward master assassin. Upon arrival, Picard reunites with Elnor, a young Romulan he befriended during the relocation. Absolute Candor.
