Amph "Engage!" - Star Trek: Picard Discussion Thread [Paramount+/CraveTV]

Kinda bummed that Netflix isn't getting the International Distribution Rights. I get Discovery eps on Netflix International three weeks late, but I don't much feel like getting Amazon Prime. Oh well! There are other ways.

 

It'll be a "wait for blu-ray" affair for me.

 

if that is a cadet behind Picard how come every other few years Starfleet gets a uniform upgrade but the cadets are stuck wearing the same damn thing for decades?

 

Ooh, that TNG theme played on the flute. Chills!

 

What is the tagline supposed to mean?

 

My thoughts when I saw the trailer

 

I kinda wish they'd retcon the death of his nephew in Generations, but I'm really psyched that he's on the vineyard having a nice, peaceful life. I cannot wait to see the ST Galaxy this far in the future, and more than anything I can't wait to see new Picard content.

 

First thought...




Second thought...



Third thought...

 

I hope this Picard isn't broken. I think it's a concept that works for Star Wars re: Luke, but Trek is supposed to be optimistic.

 

That teaser kind of makes me want to replicate a bottle of Chateau Picard. I hear 2365 is a very good year.

 

15 Years Ago I'm thinking the Rescue Armada that defeated Shinzon's invasion with the co-operation of the Romulans "And then..." (boom noise) which indicates the destruction of Romulus. So things got good with the Rommies and then they got bad. (Of note, I am thinking this will be Romulan heavy and I am very okay if they ditch the Romulan forehead ridges even though it's TNG but c'mon now, they just bugged me)

Also of note notice this quote from an interview with Bob Orci about the 2009 Star Trek movie and his former writing partner / current Trek-verse runner Alex Kurztman

And because the film takes place partially after Star Trek: Nemesis, that’s why you see it as a sequel.

Correct. Part of why it worked is that if you don’t know those ten films, you don’t need to know that it is a sequel, but if you know those ten films, you know it is a sequel.

And now Alex is going to pick up on some of those elements for the new Picard series.

I didn’t know that. Remind me to ask him for a check. [laughs]

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Bob Orci and Alex Kurztman? It's no story CBS/Paramount would tell. But Orci was the big Trekkie yet Kurztman is now running Star Trek.

trailer 25 Years to the date of All Good Things! And the first shot was the Vineyard!! Great tie in anyway.

Canadian version with Space channel logos and stuff

 

I will probably get this on Blu-ray like I did Discovery...

 

Not impossible but a pretty difficult retcon because his nephew's death kinda runs through Picard's emotional arc in Generations. Maybe someone effed up when sending the subspace transmission?

 

Oh no, not the emotional arc in Generations.

 

The Trekkie who didn't understand Star Trek? Yeah, I heard of him. He was the one who put the 9/11 was an inside job and Starfleet false flags into the NuCanon. Thanks, Bob!

So, supposedly Nemesis was nineteen years before the show -- so I'm wondering what happened fifteen years ago.

Nemesis was in 2379, and Star Trek 2009 begins from the destruction of Romulus in 2387 -- so this show is after the destruction of Romulus but whatever happened to PIcard was before that (2384). So what unimaginable thing happened in 2384? Beverly died? He theoretically wasn't commanding a ship (if he left as an Admiral), but maybe he was responsible?

 

He got promoted to admiral. Horrified by the prospect of being wrong all the time (the way admirals in Star Trek are), he immediately retired.

 

I don’t have as much faith the creators will care that it’s nineteen years and not fifteen years since Romulus got destroyed.

Wiki says this is 20 years after Nemesis. I think 18 years has been said because it’s Coming out 18 years after the film...assuming this comes out next year.

 

There must be something in the water at Starfleet HQ.

 

Or he remembered Kirk's advice from Star Trek: Generations.
