Warning: This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, Episode 4, “The Scenario Won’t Win”.Interstellar Travel: Picard Part 3 words Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, they have undergone some major changes in the years since the War of Domination ended. It makes perfect sense for the changers to adapt to fooling the security precautions put in place during the War of Domination when they were planning a retaliatory attack on the Federation. Picard It is revealed that at least one Changeling has infiltrated Starfleet while posing as Ensign Foster (Chad Lindbergh) aboard the USS Titan-A.
It remains to be seen if there are any more Changeling intruders in Starfleet, but at this stage damage to the agency seems inevitable. interstellar travel: Deep spaceIn the War of Domination, the changers imitated some DS9 character to gain tactical advantage against Federation.exist Interstellar Travel: Picard In Season 3, the changers seem to be re-using their old tricks, but with a major update on how they work. These are all the breaking changes made to the changers Picard Season 3.
7 A Rogue Changeling Split Has Separated From Great Link
exist Interstellar travel: Picard Episode 3 of Season 3, “Seventeen Seconds”, revealed that a rogue Transformers faction was behind the theft of weapons from Daystrom Station. Captain Worf (Michael Dorn) learns of a dangerous schism from his former DS9 colleague Odo (Rene Auberjonois), who returns to the Great Link to reverse centuries-old prejudice against solid life forms. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Odo is one of 100 Changelings scattered across the universe. However, PicardThe Changeling villains are very different in that they specifically choose to separate themselves from the Great Link in order to seek revenge against the Federation.
6 Changeling can now avoid detection
During the War of Domination, Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) and Odo were instrumental in developing various security protocols to limit the risk of change intrusion. Blood tests and phaser scans were performed to identify the Changeling intruders. Blood tests will identify any alterations posing as a Starfleet officer or Federal citizen, while phaser scans are designed to detect alterations in the form of everyday objects. In the years since, Starfleet checks have become lax Star Trek: Deep Space NineBattle for dominance, or bio-enhanced fake alters to fool blood tests and evade scans.
5 dead shapeshifters still retain their physical form
In one of the greatest signs of biological change, the whimsical mimic Sidney LaForge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) retains her form when killed by the Commander of the Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Changelings can be killed by phaser at high settings, but they will revert to liquid state or explode when Changeling mimics General Martok (Robert O’Reilly). Not so for the changers on Titan.
Sidney La Forge’s Changeling shook slightly, presumably the death of a liquid life form, but it left a solid corpse behind. This shows that the new villain Changeling is linked to a physical body, similar to the cyborg body that Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) inhabits. The corpse left behind by Sidney’s Changeling impersonator leaves a fascinating biological mystery for Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) to investigate. Interstellar Travel: Picard Part 3 continues.
Captain Vadic is a Shapeshifter that can remove body parts
Another clue that alters might be linked to some kind of solid matter comes from the scene where Captain Vadik (Amanda Plummer) talks to Face (Garth Kemp). She removed her hand, her face turning ominous, like a shapeshifter. Separating parts of herself is probably how the split Changelings communicate with each other, and her hand assumes the liquid state needed to connect with other Changelings. Vadic’s hand, combined with the body of a Sidney La Forge impersonator, shows Interstellar Travel: PicardChangeling’s villains have evolved or hybridized. The visceral quality of Changeling’s slime also suggests that the biology of the rogue organ is very different from the biology of the original Dominion Founders.
3 Changeling Goo is thicker
exist Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the liquid state of change is the liquid state. Changeling goo appears on Interstellar Travel: Picard It has a level of viscera that looks more like muscle tissue than the clear slime that makes up the Great Link. Since these changers have severed their connection to the Greater Link, they may have to find another way to maintain their solid form by combining their physiology with solid matter. Picard Host Terry Matalas joked on social media that viewers should stay tuned for answers as to why the VFX of 25th Century Changers looks different.
New Picard Change Using Odo’s Bajorbarrel
Interstellar Travel: Picard There’s a bucket-shaped Odo Easter egg, a gift from Bajoran scientist Dr. Maura Ball (James Sroyan). Star Trek: Deep Space Nine It is revealed that Pol was assigned to research Odo at the Bajor Science Center. Since the modifiers must return to a liquid state to regenerate, Pol provided Odo with a barrel or jar designed by Bajor. So it’s odd that Commander Seven of Nine (Jerry Ryan) pulls a very similar looking bucket from Ensign Foster’s quarters.
The simplest explanation is that Odo’s return to the Great Link has had such an impact on the changing society that these bjoron jars are ubiquitous among the changers. Or, the whimsical Ensign Foster copied it when he infiltrated Captain Shaw’s Titan crew because he needed a ship to restore his gelatinous state. Since Odo supports Starfleet against Dominion, it makes sense to store cloned samples of Odo’s Bajoran crates on the system.
1 Changers have a new leader – faces
Interstellar Travel: Picard Season 3, Episode 4 has revealed that Captain Vadic isn’t the season’s worst character, but is working for someone else. Face creates a face that does not exist in Star Trek: Deep Space Ninefar outweighs the founder’s preponderance of dominion over other member species. faced to Picard Definitely decisive, ordering Vadic to send Shrike deeper into the Ryton Nebula to recover Titan and Jack Crusher (Ed Speelers).
It’s unclear what happened to Jack Crusher, or what would happen if The Face and his Changeling team captured Picard’s son. Whatever their reason for their interest in Beverly and Jean-Luc’s son, Jack is clearly at the center of the mystery surrounding the shapeshifter’s startling new look. There is clearly a strong narrative reason to explain Interstellar Travel: Picard In Season 3, they can have a huge impact on the future after the Domination War interstellar travel universe.
