Picard: We Already Know If Peace With The Borg Happens In Season 2
Did Star Trek already reveal the outcome of Star Trek: Picard season 2's Borg-Federation peace tease? Star Trek: Picard has touched upon many crucial themes in its sophomore season — the importance of transporter accuracy, how Picard drinking coffee should be a massive red flag, and why you should NEVER fall in love with a beautiful stranger from the past.

In season 2's premiere, Captain Rios' USS Stargazer received a subspace message requesting entry to the Federation, later revealed to have been Borg-ian in origin.
The meeting went as badly as you'd expect, quickly devolving into a firefight before Jean-Luc Picard ultimately initiated the Stargazer's self-destruct sequence. Outcome notwithstanding, the Borg were acting rather unlike themselves in the buildup to the battle — even giving Picard's team enough time to plan a course of action. Although the Borg Queen forced herself aboard, she didn't initiate the hostilities, and even when phasers were fired, the Queen only stunned her Starfleet opponents. Star Trek: Picard suggests the Borg really were looking for a truce, and when Jean-Luc returns to that moment later in the season, he may choose a less aggressive course of action.
