And technically Pelia in SNW only refers to Earth and humanity in the context where she refers to "this no-money socialist utopia thing", so that could mean either the Federation or just Earth's part in it in context. Likewise Picard in First Contact, who refers to humanity, a century, and...

If it wasn't a painfully drawn out joke about how everybody's so easily offended these days, I'd agree with you. The ending almost saves it from Minion meme land.

Oh my god, I saw that video in my recs and assumed it was a fan thing, and I watched it assuming it was a fan thing, and then, I mean, holy jive, what the hug, I'm dead, I don't know how to feel about anything

If there's still a France, 1) the future in STP is even more dystopian than we thought, 2) maintaining traditional vineyards was definitely their idea at the highest levels, and not something Robert or Maurice had to convince anyone of. 😝

While that's not what communism means, the important thing is that Star Trek doesn't know either. (And it's an American show, so they can't use the C word in any form, though one character derogates the Federation as a "no-money, socialist utopia" in SNW.) I've never seen any sign of an attempt...

My first thought seeing it was "oh, they're getting both evil Optimus Primes in one" but considering how many other colorways and variations that mold has, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that's the predeco and there's a white one coming.

Well, even in the leftmost forms of little-c communism, you'd still have personal possessions, like all of Picard's various memorabilia and the paintings and things. It's just that that's distinct from "private property" in the sense of real estate and tools of production, and the Chateau is...

Well, thanks to the rest of the series, we do have more or less the full life history of Chateau Picard. It belonged to the Picard family before WWII. Whatever was happening economically around it, somebody let the Picards keep it up to TNG times. I guess Robert's widow Marie was just hanging...

The idea in the novels comes from a cut scene in Nemesis itself. Warning: Atrocious video quality.

I'm just putting a pin in these, like a little corkboard, for if you do end up watching all three seasons of Picard. There is some weird unclear history with Gene Roddenberry and the Noonien Singh / Soong name, though, and they don't seem to have been intended to be connected in any way...

Or, since Enterprise, extremely petty beings who, as a society, take all communication as an opportunity to neg each other into oblivion, and would have long been extinct as a species if not for their even deeper dedication to tradition and appearances, which has allowed them to develop...

Oh put a pin in that because it's too goddamn precious Edit: It's not explained, but it's emphasized again later that even if all of Soong's magics are performed exactly right, this just happens more often than not, and did in the process of creating Data and Lore too. So it's nothing specific...

Fair enough! While we're at it, I'm going to expand on the S1 recap a bit:

I haven't read IDW2, but it's a separate continuity that doesn't have those concepts to build on in the first place. IDW1 had times where everyone suddenly got a new look but that was only because they switched artists 🤣

I don't wanna sound all "debate me!" here, but

Okay, real talk, while I strongly disagree on that last point, something confuses me about it.

Yeah, and the the Star Trek V line is a cultural icon independent of the film, like Shadewing said, so it's possibly become more iconic than the movie is. Like I said, I was being a pedant about the V'ger line, it's just definitely a line Trek fans know. I consider it less memorable than the...

And it isn't "My god, it's full of stars." Okay, the pedant in me insists on saying that you probably do know a line from TMP, "What we got back, didn't live long. Fortunately." More to the point, you probably also have "V'Ger is that which seeks the Creator," which is the exact counterpart to...

I see X ] I misread that somehow as "and watch it in order", I.e. that Picard S1-2 were obligatory to have in there. Oh, one actual correction though, Terry Matalas wasn't actually new new as showrunner in S3, he was one for S2 but alongside Akiva Goldsman. Goldsman is the guy who's involved...

I will fight you
