The Artificial Tango : 15: A Gift of Provenance

“No Win Scenario“

As the Titan sinks deeper into the gravity well, only the inginuity that comes with a full head of hair and a grease monkey from Chicago can save the crew the from a no win scenario.

In this episode of The Artificial Tango, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our week-by-week examination of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 with Part 4, “No Win Scenario.” We discuss more parallels with the Original Series films, how the story turns death into a fighting chance to live, makes our heroes better versions of themselves, and ask just what is up with the Changelings and Vadic’s hand.
