I mean there's a pretty clear implication from Voyager that the Borg have to originally be from the delta quadrant right?

The origins of the Borg are from Starfleet. An advanced race, a tunnel through time, shenanigans with nanites. The novels really are exceptional

I regret clicking on that, even if you say the books are good.

A couple years ago IDW put out a comic mini-series about how Mirror Universe Picard came to captain Mirror Universe Enterprise.
Also sells tickets to THE GUN SHOW on the side from the looks of him. It's five issues and actually pretty fun.

Indeed, why cant their origins be what was implied in TNG and Voyager...
I mean other than the first borg cube, and really all of them... are filled with assimilated human looking drones... but I feel that is more of an effect of resources than "lore"

So I was just watching drinkers vid on episode 2. disclosure:I have not watched picard at all yet. But something caught my attention. He mentions the Romulan maid for Picard.. in France, lives in Boston, USA, and has an Irish accent. (lol)
Are there public Teleporters? do they cost per use? Public or private? Do they work via satellite? How energy efficient are they exactly? Like, starships using them left and right is one thing. its a military vessel. Are teleporters used to delivery Amazon prime to your doorstep?
(Range is huge just for ship to ship, and ship to ground, but its been shown they can't penetrate the Earth itself "too" deep. (ignoring any insane Earth to Kronos insanity)
Teleporters are a civilization changing technology. The effects on transportation, shipping and industry. as well as culturally. as you could live in Oregon, and work in China.
Is it faster then warp travel, or impulse? teleporter relays setup between like earth and mars?

The archive museum from episode one didn't have the arches, only Starfleet headquarters did. Would make sense to use them at central hubs for business and government locations that get the heaviest traffic.
Background shots do make a point of showing increased shuttle transportation so that's likely the civilian method. Also explains why taxis are still a thing if you can arch -> arch anywhere on the network but not just transport anywhere on the planet.

Watched episode 2 last night and my only takeaway was that based on the Admiral's explanation of the circumstances surrounding the Romulan refugees at the time, Picard is a fucking moralistic idiot that has no business commanding a starship or anything else, and should have been demoted if he hadn't instead voluntarily retired. The Admiral's explanation as to why they couldn't provide more support to the Romulans was perfectly rational and one you would expect from a logically minded leader and not some moralistic idiot. Then Picard having the audacity to ask for a ship and crew was either the worst writing possible or was meant to make us believe Picard's become an irrational narcissist in addition to a moralistic idiot.
Also notable and humorous is how his Romulan house help turn out to be ex Romulan secret military police and how the entire upper echelon of Start fleet Command so far seems to be run by women.

There's no reason they wouldn't have public transporters. Energy is basically infinite.
Shipping doesn't matter when the replicator exists that can create basically anything.
Also, there's no reason to work locally when you can have holographic conference calls.

DS9 covered this when Nog went to Star Fleet Academy. People basically get credits to use towards teleporting between locations on planet, so it sounds like a rationing system to prevent overuse. He used his to go to Sisko’s dad’s place during the week for dinner, because it was the only place he could get high quality mealworms to eat

Yes and no. Based on TNG through Voyager
1) you get credits towards certain things, like non-essential / non-food replicator itemsor transport (think things like toys, instruments, etc)
2) you also get a limited ability to exchange credits for currency to be used outside the Federation (ie, gold pressed latinum)
They never really spell this out in great detail beyond the fact it exists. It makes sense, though, in that energy and certain things are still a limited commodity and you need a means to limit consumption
