Title: Star Trek: Picard Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Tuskin38 on August 04, 2018, 05:16:10 PM
It will star Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, and will take place roughly 20 years after Nemesis. Still in early Pre-Production, no scripts yet and they're still working out the story.

from what i understand, the show is only about Picard, after he retired from Starfleet and goes back to earth... i dont think there is any new ship or crew or anything space...  i hope i am wrong, but ill watch it either way...

They didn't give any plot details at all other then when it takes place.

But I can't see Picard being captain at the age he would be 20 years after Nemesis.

He would likely be an Admiral.

Then again this could be a reprisal of the final ep of TNG just without that backwards working temporal anomaly

Post by: Tuskin38 on August 04, 2018, 08:31:34 PM
I wonder if there will be any nods to the novels since the lead writer is a novel writer for the post-Nemesis era.

I don't mean any plot relevant references that require you to read the books, but off hand references that novel readers would understand.

Like there is a diploma in Georgiou's ready room in DSC had a reference to the Andorian Capital city from the books. Just nods/Easter eggs, nothing more.

 :D.  He could read the phone book (that dates me!).  I was never a massive TNG fan but have come to love, and PS has always been a stand-out actor.  So any new series with him fine by me - as long as it's intelligent.  Any TNG cameos will just be welcome decoration...

I hope this is the Post VOY era that was depicted in TNG's All Good Things and VOY's Endgame. Given 16 to 20 years later from the VOY series, is what it should be now.

Hope springs eternal... :doh:

I read that Sir Patrick decided to reprise his role, because of the current social climate today. In his opinion, Picard was inspirational. And this up and coming generations certainly needs some inspiration out there.

As much as I love Discovery and the Kelvin Timeline movies, it is far past time for us to have a series that takes place after Nemesis.  And I can think of none better to usher in that era than Jean-Luc Picard.
Title: Star Trek Picard
Post by: Morgan on September 07, 2018, 11:10:12 PM
I'm excited to see Picard again; however, and unpopular opinion incoming.....

I've always been in the minority that thinks going post-Voyager/Nemesis isn't the best move.  It's great for us hardcore fans, but the reality is the franchise has to attract new fans in order to survive.  Another 24th century show would be bogged down following up on DS9, and some of Voyager.  That's a two series that someone would need to be familiar with unless you bog the show down with exposition explaining everything with the Dominion War and the Borg.  Or you could just pick it up and, while us fanboys will know what's going on within half a second of hearing the dialog, the newcomers very likely will miss it, not appreciate, or feel like they missed something.  Of course, you could take the third route and do yet another TNG rehash, but that would be a waste of potential and end up like Voyager and the first two seasons of Enterprise.

I think Enterprise was the right direction to go in ultimately.  Say what you will about the execution, but the premise of exploring how the Trek universe came to be was, in my mind, really the last ground to explore.  TOS started it.  TNG expanded on it.  DS9 pushed the boundaries of it.  Voyager retreaded TNG but could have been another DS9 pushing boundaries.  Enterprise's fourth season showed that there is stuff worth seeing when it comes to how the Trek universe came to be.  Sadly it failed.

The JJ movies are decent action flicks, and Discovery is (in my opinion) not a bad show, but none of the post-Enterprise shows seem to be more than making more Trek for the hell of it.  I'm worried this new Picard show, in addition to what I wrote above, might be similar.  Good, but kind of like "what's the point?"
Title: Star Trek Picard
Post by: Tuskin38 on September 08, 2018, 10:06:48 AM
I always felt a post-Nemisis show should be ~100 years after VOY, like how TNG was ~100 years after TOS.

A big enough gap that you won't necessarily would need to watch the previous series to understand it.
Title: Star Trek Picard
Post by: King Class Scout on September 09, 2018, 07:28:08 AM
frankly, I think it's because of protests and grumbling by old Trekkies/Trekkers that it went in that direction.  the JJverse seems to have shut down, and the discoverse, AU or not, is causing a lot of people to just headtilt in confusion.

It's in the same universe as all the other TV series.

The supernova that destroyed Romulus happened in the Prime Timeline, it plus the Red Matter is what threw Spock and Nero into the Kelvin Timeline.

Yes, it takes place 20 years after Nemesis in 2399, 12 years after the destruction of Romulus seen in Spock's mind meld in Star Trek '09.

They'd never do that, it's a major event. Plus Kurtzman worked on that movie.

And CBS had been acknowledging it as canon since 2009.

Star Trek Countdown comics is considered canon?

- Romulus and Remus destroyed
- Captain Data of the Enterprise-E
- Ambassador Picard
- Geordi now a civilian engineer/ship builder
- Worf skewered, possibly killed

All canon events if they acknowledge the comic as canon, for the Picard series.

The comics are not considered canon. Romulus being destroyed was seen in the movie though.

However Kurtzman helped write that comic so he might adapt some things from it.

The comics are not canon.

The Supernova was mentioned and seen in the movie, that's how it's canon.

However, Kurtzman wrote the comic so I wouldn't be surprised if the show used some elements from it.

No.

There’s no guarantee that he will take anything from the comics.

And even if he does, that doesn’t make the comics canon, only the show is.

It was mentioned in the movie, but it was taken directly from the aforementioned comic. Thus that part of the comic, is now being canonized. Stop being obtuse about it.

No the movie was written before the comic.
Per CBS own rules, comics are not canon. I’m not the one being obtuse here. I’m just following the rules.

Even if he copies the backstory from the comic, that doesn’t make the comic canon, it only makes how it happens in the show the canon version.

There will be a panel at comic-con this month. Along with that they're taking over a local art gallery (like they've done with DSC the last 2-3 years) to show off stuff related to Picard, with props and costumes from TNG/Movies and stuff from the new show. If it's like the previous years you won't need to be a Comic-Con pass holder to enter the gallery.

Only two things are really connected directly to the events of the show, his outfit from the teaser images and the wine bottles. But there is a bunch of new cool stuff there from his past, like awards, certificates, photos of him when he was younger. All his uniforms are there, at least the ones worn on the Ent-D and -E.

There is some new post-NEM lore, Picard was promoted to Admiral and put on a special assignment in 2381 (2 years after Nemesis) and then retired 5 years later in 2386.

Also one of the 6 announced Short Treks announced today is for Picard, it will cover events that happened 15 years before the show starts.

So, what I personally gathered from the trailer is that it looks like the Romulans are gathering up Borg technology and Drones, and the girl is connected to that some how.

Maybe she's an Ex-Borg? She escaped to tell the Federation what the Romulans are doing? Maybe left over programming drew her to Picard because he was once Locutus?

So many questions.

Unlike the naysaying commentators on Trekmovie, i'd welcome more guest spots from TNG-era actors/characters, so long as it makes sense and fits into the show narrative. The Doctor is quite likely, the most experienced on the Borg (outside the obvious former Borg like Jean-Luc or Seven). If he appears as Dr Zimmerman, it would also fit with the possibility of "Hologram Data", or maybe even as a developer of the 24th Century "Mobile Emitter".

Robert Picardo... Make it so!!!

My current theory for Picard, is that the humanitarian mission Picard was involved in was connected to the Borg, not Hobus (since the dates don't line up)
I'm thinking there was Borg incursion into Romulan space
The Federation sent help (with Picard leading), and then something disastrous happened which caused Picard to become disillusioned with Starfleet (or the Federation)
and then Hobus happens
There are shots in the trailer that might show Romulan refugees on earth, the scene where Picard is thrown out of a building by Romulans.

Looking very nice! I loved also seeing the Ent D. However someone botched the texture mapping on the ship. They Mirrored Shuttle Bay 3 (smaller shuttle bay 2 got replaced) and the Arboretum on the saucer is missing.

Easily explained away as a refit by expanding the shuttle bay and moving the arboretum elsewhere on the ship but honestly, I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it lol.

It could just as easily... Not be the Enterprise-D. Could just be a random Galaxy class, and we already know all Galaxy classes aren't identical.

Oh you know what.... You might be on to something Darkthunder.... I took another look at it... it has no registry so we can't exactly say it is the Ent D. Where the arboretum should be they also have more escape pods... and I also noticed the Bussard collectors are completely different. They have extra hull on the front like they are armored. Maybe enhanced engines.

Maybe a Post Dom War refit of the standard Galaxy Class? Hmm....

*rewatches to see what you're talking about*  yeah, I spotted it.  always wondered what that square of windows was on a Gal.
what caught MY eye was the TOS Rom BoP in the brief fight segments.  if this is post nova-chain, they really DIDN'T have much left to work with, did they?  musta had to retrofit THAT, too, cause there's actually active bussards on it :P

I'm glad that Data will be returning, even if it's just in dream sequences and holodeck appearances, but damn couldn't they have done a little CGI work????

Everyone is talking like "Oh he has an aging program" yeah, but if it's a dream, he shouldn't have aged.  Only way I would accept it, is if Jean-Luc says something along the lines of "He was older, like he had aged alongside of us" or something of the like.  I'm still gonna watch it, mind you, but that bothers me a little.

And actually Nebula, there aren't any extra escape pods where the Arboretum should have been.  The escape pods you are looking at are supposed to be there on standard galaxy class starships.  They did take two pods where the saucer separation line is supposed to be (Enterprise D had 2 rows of 4 there).  I'm not too sure about the Bussard collectors though!  I'm gonna chalk that up to the imaging!

It says 1701-D in front of the main shuttlebay
(https://i.imgur.com/PJrrrs7.png)


Also the shuttlebay mirroring error on the neck is also on Eaglemoss's CG and physical models of the ENT-D. I wonder if CBS just borrowed their CG model.

The show is still 3 months out, so the CG can improve in that time. None of it is final.

One of the actors was wearing a hat with the new combadge at the con. It's a modified AGT badge.

The "1701-D" thing was pointed out by Trekyards... However they seem to have completely missed the total lack of the big blue arboretum windows behind the shuttlebay.

Doubt the hologram actually is of the Enterprise 1701-D (which would be long disassembled after it's crash on Veridian III). More likely whoever used whatever model to create the hologram effect, simply forgot to remove the label. Probably just a generic Galaxy Class, possibly refitted after the Dominion War (which explains the lack of arboretum, and the mirrored shuttlebays on the neck).

I think some people are trying to find anything to "nitpick" about at this point. 11 years ago, when the first teaser for the JJ Trek was released, I remember the outrage online, because the ship didn't have the right FONT... Nevermind the fact that the teaser didn't even have the right SHIP :P

Spoiler: show
Picard's humanitarian mission is connected to the Supernova what wipes out Romulus, Riker and Deanna are still on the titan, and the Enterprise-E is still in service under a new captain, all as of 2385.
Also the bridge of Admiral Picard's flagship is based off the Odyssey Class from Star Trek Online. But I'm not going to take that as a confirmation that the ship class will show up in the show, it could be artistic licence, or CBS didn't give the artist a new design to use

They're ignoring the ST09 Countdown comic for the series, so maybe someone new. It won't be Data we know that for sure.

STO isn't canon, so the Odyssey can exist whenever the comic writer/CBS wants it to exist. They don't need to follow the game's storyline (Which they shouldn't IMO)

I have to say I am very dissatisfied overall with STP. The series had some great highlights here and there, but overall was a muddled mess that really screwed up quite a bit of established canon. Not to mention the terrible state of the Federation as it is portrayed.

I hope Season 2 is a huge improvement.

^^ Same. Playing on Picard's illness like that and then making it completely pointless by the end was so cheap and anti-climatic. They should have showed it getting worse during the course of the show and end it with Q greeting him in the afterlife saying that the trial is over and Picard has been deemed worthy of joining the continuum to explore the final frontier.

Picard didn't screw up any established canon that I'm aware of.  :s

And the Federation wasn't portrayed that much worse then they showed in other series. They've never treated AI with respect (Remember the dilithium mines full of EMH Mark 1s? How they wanted to take Data's daughter?

As for the Romulans, they've always been dicks to the federation, I'm not surprised people would object to helping them after Utopia Planitia was destroyed.

I may be nitpicking here, but here it goes...some of my problems with the show canon...

1) Furniture can't likely be heirlooms (at least not the originals from the series in the house) since the house burned down.
2) Lack of replicators (and it seems poor people in the Federation, on Earth of all places).
3) Homeless Romulans living in squalor, though the Empire likely had dozens if not thousands of worlds after Romulus destruction.
4) Borg likely killed by being ejected into space.

...Just to name a few. There are more, but those annoy me the most.

One of the things that annoyed me the most, was the senseless killing of characters like Maddox or Hugh, as well as the maiming of Icheb. I understand things are bleak in the Federation of 2399, but the random killing of Federation citizens (Maddox and Icheb) or allied characters (Hugh) seems a bit overkill. Add to that, using Picard's irumodic syndrome (which was supposedly a made-up plot device by Q in All Good Things), had no real lasting impact, as Picard was "revived" as an android immediately after his physical body died. This is about as useful as the death of Alt-Kirk in Into Darkness, followed by his immediate revival using magic blood... If you're gonna kill off characters, only to bring them back again, make it more meaningful.
And then there's the ridiculous episode, where Picard and crew visit the "Vegas" type planet, with Picard having to take on a "fake" French accent. Patrick Stewart is British, but Jean-Luc has always been French. No need to fake the accent, have Sir Stewart practice on a more probable accent instead of the overdone fake one.

Darkthunder covered 1) and 3) already, I agree with his points.

2) What lack of replicators? We see replicators in Picard's house (it's even used in an episode), in Riker's kitchen (same model as Picard's), on La Sirena (used on screen), and on Mars (also used on screen). We didn't see any poor people on earth.

The Borg were semi-unconscious and violently thrown out of the cube, I doubt they'd survive that with their broken necks and such. They had zero time to prepare for the explosive decompression. I imagine the Borg in First Contact probably had their personal shields enabled and had prepared to leave the ship.

(which was supposedly a made-up plot device by Q in All Good Things)

Nothing in AGT says or implies that what Q showed Picard was made up.

Quote
I understand things are bleak in the Federation of 2399

Nothing in Picard shows the Federation as 'bleak'. We didn't see any Federation worlds other than Earth, and Earth looked fine.

Post by: Raven Night on April 09, 2021, 02:29:47 AM
I understand I may be messing with the bull here, but I tend to disagree with some points made, and find some other points more dismissive than compelling.

It was insinuated that Raffi did not have a replicator and was living in squalor...she even derided Picard for living in luxury while she suffered in poverty and abused drugs and alcohol. I suppose it is possible she had a replicator, but then why was she living the way she was if that is the case?

I feel the violent decompression point is an excuse that follows a mistake...a way to excuse a pretty huge canon error. Nothing in the actual script for the episode indicates that they died from injuries...it indicates...or more accurately insinuates they died from exposure to space (based on her scripted reaction)....which has already been shown to be impossible. One could argue they needed time to adjust, but then that is an excuse to follow a mistake...with no canon support.

Now, one could argue she was mad that the collective activation effort was somehow disrupted by the ejection, but I think it is pretty likely they wanted viewers to believe the Borg were killed by the ejection.

Not sure where the barn fire information comes from, the sources I read indicated it was a house fire, killed all three of them, and almost destroyed the house. It was rebuilt some time after 2371 (fire) but before 2383 (for first harvest of 2386, vintage of 2399).

If that is incorrect, so be it. If the house survived than obviously so did the furniture.

And yes, I hated the Maddox and dress up episodes. And the idea that "despair" destroyed the Borg in a cube. And the McGuffin repair device.

Fair enough. I could certainly be completely wrong on all of my points, the show certainly has it's merits and has had some great scenes. I just feel it has some rather glaring flaws that could have been easily fixed.

Some are due to laziness or lack of time (or both)...the Federation fleet comes to mind. Some are due to lack of concern about canon. Some are just poor writing.

I feel that quite a few points of the storyline are not earned, and others are not explored though they should have been...like Picard fighting for droid rights only to become a droid in the end. That should have been explored more IMO.

The way Picard was treated by Starfleet. The way he essentially becomes a back seat character to most of the storyline. Romulan Legolas. I could go on.

TNG certainly had it's flaws. And Discovery demonstrates that even with a completely new cast you can still have issues. But this was NOT a series they could screw up. TNG is remembered as the benchmark for modern TV Star Trek.

The Mandalorian proves that when people love and respect the source material they can create something special. Star Trek has been lacking that love, in my opinion, for too long now.
Title: Re: Star Trek: Picard Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Tuskin38 on April 10, 2021, 02:54:58 PM
Yeah, the fleet it was a lack of time. According to John Eaves he was asked for ship designs very last minute, and they only gave him an hour or so to polish a few he had submitted before and send them to them. Like he didn't design them from scratch for the finale, the designs he had were originally for earlier in the season (and were refined from unused designs he did back in the mid 2000s for another project) but that story was cut.

So it sounds like the choice to include the fleet in the final episode was a last minute decision. I wonder what the original intent for the season finale was then.

The show runner is a big Star Trek fan. I don't think disrespect was intended but he wanted to deconstruct the franchise. But something being disrespectful is also an individual opinion, so yeah.
Title: Re: Star Trek: Picard Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Raven Night on April 11, 2021, 01:49:28 PM
I wouldn't go so far as to say they disrespected the original or Trek as a whole, but I will say I feel they didn't give it it's proper due.

The deconstruct is the thing...that makes me cringe in most cases. DS9 comes to mind...originally Behr intended to disrupt the standard Star Trek formula, where everyone gets along. In a way his intent was the same. But in my opinion he did it just enough without violating the base premise of Trek.

I concede that the show was never as popular as TNG, but frankly neither was any series, even TOS (except, perhaps, in reruns). Now the show has a much more faithful following...a testament, IMO, to it's proper respect for the franchise.

This is where Picard has fallen short. The story they told seems to be stretched out too much, is far too disorganized, and littered with silly decisions.

It's not terrible, it's not even bad...but I would present the opinion that it fails to reach the level of even DS9.

I fault the method of the deconstruction and the haphazard storytelling. The show has just enough fan service to keep it acceptable IMO, but far from engaging.

There's a returning minor TNG actor, April Grace playing an Admiral Whitney.

She played transporter chief Maggie Hubbell in 5 episodes of TNG and one episode of DS9.

Could be the same character. Changed her last name, got married etc.

Or could be a new character. Seems from the photos we've seen thus far, and what we know from trailers, she may be offering Picard his commission back, as "Chancellor" of Starfleet Academy.

Seems that was the case, he calls her 'Sally' in the episode


Anyways, wow, that's a lot to unpack. Here, that was a very exciting 55 minutes. Good plot development, character rediscovery and catchup, new character development. Some world building, new (canon) ship designs.

Interiors. My guess this might be a prelude to a possible Star Trek: Stargazer spinoff following the end of Picard season 3... fingers crossed.
