6. What individual does Picard give recognition to as being the first fully Romulan cadet at Starfleet Academy?

Answer: Elnor

Just a few years prior Picard had taken Elnor from his home planet of Vashti on a quest to stop a possible war between synthetic lifeforms and the Romulans. Elnor was trained as both an expert fighter and to always speak the truth. As an adult Elnor was played by Evan Evagora and as a child his character was played by Ian Nunney.

7. As Elnor is about to go on a Starfleet mission Picard stops him and gives him a book titled "The Many and the One". What deep thinker wrote this book that provided inspiration to Picard?

Answer: Spock

Spock was a Vulcan/Human hybrid that served under captain James T. Kirk on the USS Enterprise as science officer. While Spock and Kirk often butted heads, the two had a mutual respect for each other. Spock commonly gave pearls of wisdom to the crew and it's no surprise that he wrote a book that would also inspire Picard. Picard tells Elnor that his favorite quote from the book is "exhilaration enhances the absorption of knowledge" meaning that it is okay to have fun and live a little.

8. Prior to being called in on a mission Picard travels to Los Angeles to catch up with Guinan. What Academy Award winning actress played the part of Guinan in both "Star Trek: Picard" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation"?

Answer: Whoopi Goldberg

Guinan was a bartender and recurring character on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" seasons 2-6. Played by Whoopi Goldberg, the character was of the El-Aurian species and she did not age like typical humans do. In "Star Trek: Picard", she shares a drink with Picard and tells him that the only place he's been afraid to explore is his heart.

In addition to playing Guinan, Whoopi Goldberg played memorable roles in the "Sister Act" film series and she won an Academy Award for her work on the film "Ghost".

Answer: Borg

Picard was surprised when a member of Starfleet visited his home to show him that the Star Gazer had received a message stating "help us Picard". Once Picard got on the Star Gazer the Borgs used a cutting beam so that their queen could board the ship.

After she was on the ship the queen started zapping power from the Star Gazer and assimilating the other ships in Starfleet into the Borg hub. This prompts Picard to initiate an auto destruct sequence on the Star Gazer.

10. When Picard wakes up he is back home and surprised to see someone that he hadn't seen in 31 years. Who was this powerful individual whose entire race of beings are referred to by a single letter?

The Q are entities that can adjust their appearance and time in extremely powerful and dangerous ways. Picard is not happy when he sees Q as in the past Q had sent him in alternate time realities and messed with his mind. Q tells Picard "welcome to the very end of the road not taken".
