I can see how you got there, but we know synthahol has effects, so it's not really related. I mean O'Douls could qualify as a homeopathic hangover cure, but I'd like to think the Federation has moved on from such barbarism as homeopathy.

You are correct. Light beer has nothing to do with alcohol content. That's eighteen milligrams in a can, or about one third of a drop. Edit: That is, if you tried to intake enough to get a buzz, the water would kill you first.

That exists everywhere. Only Americans would invent light beer though.

Missed this, but light beer isn't for your health, it's just something some people inexplicably prefer the taste of. It's the same alcohol.

Yeah, and specifically a drunk you could just "turn off" when it's time for duty. Edit: Now I'm picturing something that's definitely not what synthahol is, but the curse-of-eternal-life-without-eternal-youth version, where you can shut it off instantly but get an instant hangover

I feel like each TNG character was individually introduced by turning to the camera to reveal their face, cutting to a low angle, and grinning while they repeat their old catchphrase, possibly with a pause to let the live studio audience applaud. That didn't actually happen, though, it's only...

I'm surprised that's even a take. The third season had a weak mystery box plot and resolution, and the fourth still wasn't what most people really want out of a Trek show, but the dire meanspirited imitation prestige drama of the first season and the incoherent reverse-engineered plot of the...

Good points, good points, retracted.

Memory Alpha has already been updated with the Picard stuff, and I can't find the exact scene, but I remembered the Enterprise finale referring to the Enterprise being decommissioned and turned into a museum. Supposedly the same episode also establishes that the NX-01 still exists in the 24th...

It's unquestionably a refit, and Riker comments on the new ship smell. Presumably it's not a refit of an actual Constitution class ship either. It's also absolutely Riker's old command and the ship he spent most of the last 20 years on. We're not disagreeing on any of those facts. The only thing...

They can't, this is the Titan-A, it's on the livery. The Titan was a Luna Class, and we saw from Lower Decks that it had a TNG-movie lifestyle that was going to get it blown up sooner or later. The Titan-A was a neocon, and launched as the Titan-A to replace Riker's ship. We never saw what it...

There's no chance that the "sophisticated AI" they keep setting on the mantlepiece at Daystrom is anything but Moriarty. That leaves open the possibility, though, that Daystrom was just using him somehow and that he's not actually working for the bad guys, he's just going to be a minor bossfight...

You know ... it doesn't matter the role or rationale, it will be a crime against humanity if they don't do everything they can to get Robert Picardo in on this.

You don't want them getting nightmares, do you? Good sleep is important when you're infiltrating the Federation. The aesthetic of the pot made me assume it was a Bajoran thing too. Still, I don't remember what we know about Odo's Jor-El special baby pod, but I guess it's conceivable that the...

To be fair, he said organized crime is logical when crime is inevitable. It wasn't a complete tautology.

It's still Star Trek Picard and it's going to turn around and bite me in the ass, and there were episodes in the previous two seasons that left me with a good feeling too. But after three episodes of hatewatching, this one got me to sit up and take notice. Everything's already been said, but...

Well remember, Dahj and Soji were flesh and blood androids, which was a plot point in S1 because it wasn't supposed to be possible, and it was something that had been developed at the Soong compound planet. What it means is anyone's guess, but Picard is specifically locked out of the superhuman...
