Funny I just realized HOW badgey ascended. FIrst he gave up his "good" He abandoned his connections to the mortal plane that made him sense love. Then he abandoned "logic", leaving behind that which binds ones to the rules of the universe, and finally when he gained complete knowledge the natural thing next is for "bad" to die, because more often than not a universe can't thrive without cohesion. THere for he finally did it, he abandoned all things that connected him to the universe. With his tethers gone and ultimate knowledge at his finger tips there wasn't anything to hold him back. He achieved complete ascension

I like to think the reason why Badgey didn't freak out when he ascended while O'Connor was in pain and losing control of everything was difference of perspective and willingness to let go. O'Connor I think was still attached to his mortal existence on some level, thus perhaps he subconsciously fought against the ascension process. And as a corporeal being, his brain told him that being made of energy should burn him so he felt like he was burning. And when he saw the entirety of the universe, it didn't mesh with his understanding of the universe from a single corporeal perspective, thus it was frightening and strange. Badgey meanwhile had already experienced the universe in its entirety and had come to see thing from a truly enlightened perspective. They became free of preconceptions and simply saw everything in its entirety as it was wit h acceptance and a truly all encompassing compassion. So when they ascended it was not with fear or pain, but calm anticipation because at that point they were free of preconception and accepted everything as it was. They felt no pain, in part because they were originally an AI, but because they had truly become free from attachment to mortal existence.

I am not so sure, heck I was afraid for a moment that we would reach a scenario like "I have no mouth, but i have to scream", but, honestely to me this look like a dull episode, beside how in hell Badgey would have gain access to all computers of the entire bloody UFP? the federation in the 24 th Century should have a population of at least 497 bilions, that means he would had to gain access to, assuming each citizien had at least two personal device and one main computer, to at least 1.5 Trilions of Computers at the same times! And lightyears away noless which would meant different times to reach by subspace communications, no Ai or quantum computer would be able to crack all the codes in a few minutes, most likely it wouldn't have been possible even in 3-5 centuries so what's the point of the episode?

@@francescosaporiti1431 Voyager/Starfleet invented hyper-subspace communications! It was likely installed across the fleet (I admit they've never directly said it, but it does make sense. This show is canonically several years after Voyager ended.) Also, the USS Cerritos is almost always doing missions within the federation, not to far from other ships and planets... the signal could have spread as fast as it did. As for how the computers were hacked, a few thoughts: -Badgey was fully versed in Starfleet systems, and smart enough to code viruses to crack systems as seen previously. -Computer Systems can be vulnerable to exploit, especially if Badgey gained access to command codes. -If Badgey gained access to a just few computer systems, he could use the vastly expanded resources of his program to help with any decryption still required. -The fact that it happens over the course of just a few seconds is just to maintain the pace of the show, something I forgive every Star Trek show for. Honestly, Lower Decks is great and written by people who really try to respect the universe and all the canon.

I love the idea that the Big Bad becomes a God, and then quickly realizes that their badness was wrong and they just move on; imagine if Thanos had put on the Gauntlet and been like "oh, i see now. The struggle, the hardship. It all makes sense. I was a fool to think my petty perceptions of what is 'fair' meant anything to the grand scheme of all things. I will join with the universe, so that my wisdom and knowledge may become a small part of all life in the cosmos!" And that's the REAL reason no one has ever put the Gauntlet together (in the MCU); you start out wanting to become god, and you do, but not the all powerful omnipotent ruler you thought you'd become. You just become another spoke on the wheel of creation.

You know, based on how "relatively" easy it was for Badgy to achieve AI Godhood through Subspace, it's my personal head-canon that there are no major defenses in place to stop this happening, because all other intelligent lifeforms have come to the conclusion that whenever this happens, the AI's conciousness is invariably awed by the size of the universe, and hopelessly drawn to a higher state of existence. Therefore, there's no need to stop any AI from trying this, since they all get wowed, realize hurting anyone is meanigless and petty in the grand scheme of things, and then dip out of our plane of reality. It's kind of like if getting into a bank vault automatically turned you into an ultra-pacifist monk with no desire for earthy riches.

@@nackteHintern This is actually one of my great annoyances with all of nu-trek. Avery Brooks was very insistent that Sisko was not gone forever, and really thanks to non-linear time wouldn't even be gone that long. He refused to let the end of DS9 be a black man leaving his pregnant wife behind. I respect that. The producers respected that and so added the lines about him returning, possibly yesterday. But, because of not using him and all this other stuff, there's now a vague implication that he has in fact been gone for decades, which I do not like. I really wish they'd just throw in a line somewhere in canon that 'yeah, he came back on the day his kid was born,' and we move on. Until it's actively discounted, that's basically my headcanon.

@jercoxthealmighty 8 ай бұрын

My running theory/hope is that if they do have sisko make a comeback, it is made explicit that, even in god form, he was still present in at least his children's lives (and preferably also his father and wife's), even if it was just in the form of visions like the prophets did for him. Like maybe the starfleet peoples that need to meet with him try the wormhole first but come up with nothing, then someone suggests talking to Jake about it and it turns out that that was all they needed to do all along. Or maybe that would be dumb and jake and... other sisko child... will come forward in the middle of some dire situation and reveal that they always knew where he was but kept it hidden for... reasons. Like to me that seems like the best possible way to both have sisko still be missing, but not be a runaway dad. Although Lower Decks offhandedly establishing that sisko came back like a week after disappearing would also be good, honestly.

@KaleRylan 8 ай бұрын

@@jercoxthealmighty The second is definitely my preferred answer simply because it's highly unlikely sisko is ever going to be a major character again unless someone does a total reboot of DS9 which given it's less iconic status among the public, I doubt will ever happen. Since he's unlikely to get some big push, I don't think he needs to be saved for a dramatic moment. I think you can absolutely just have someone mention he came back a few months later, retired happily, and is just working to rebuild civilization on Bajor or something of the sort. It's the ending he would want, the ending Brooks would want, and there's no real reason not to give it to him in my opinion.

@StarRider587 8 ай бұрын

Idk. Someone in this comment section noticed something about this that kind of makes sense. Badgey probably didn't ascend simply because he's an advanced AI that merged with the subspace relay. Prior to doing that, he purged aspects of himself that one could see as obstacles to enlightenment. First he purged his "goodness" ridding himself of attachments. He then purged his logic, opening his mind and abandoning a hard scientific view of reality. With those obstacles gone, he was able to ascend after becoming a singularity. Had he merged with the subspace relay *without* purging his good and logical aspects first, he likely would have followed through with destroying everything and everyone connected to subspace.

Doesn't it take a while for things to propagate over subspace, heck to reach the neutral zone was like 10 hours from federation command.

Since it's technically just pure energy, it should be instantaneous if you think of Voyager. The reason why they couldn't send a subspace message back to the alpha quadrant was cuz they didn't have the power to push it so far. But once they got the super subspace transmitter they were able to have an instantaneous talk with the people that were like 40,000 light years away

See season 2 episode 3 for Shaxs recollection of his death. Also Boimler’s death in season 2 episode 3 has him finding himself in a room and seeing a black mountain through a window

Scratch that about boimlers’ death. It happened in season four episode three.

It's an obscure reference to an even more obscure reference earlier in the show, which is itself a reference to the series Twin Peaks. This is a third-level Nerd Joke.

One consistency in the borg: For all their sheer scale, the collective also gives them a very limited way of thinking that struggles to come up with any original idea. They assimilate new technology because they can't invent anything truly novel for themselves.
