Yeah, that makes sense. I hate how loose and franchise-maintence-y it is, but it makes sense. Like how I realized in retrospect that the thing that would have made the Titan being rechristened Enterprise not a completely hollow honor is if it was really the successor in name to the E, the...

Yeah, unless there are clues in licensed fiction somewhere that I don't know about, this still feels like it's the most likely thing the writers were going for, with the caveat that as Axaday says it's not really the simplest explanation in-universe and requires more assumptions. The "Artifact"...

Yeah, that would have been a neat save. Like the melty face kinda roughly looks like the deformed Borg Queen but it's still a completely made up voice. Anything that would have made those scenes better would risk giving away the surprise, but Plummer playing Krige's mannerisms would have been...

So, there's one bit of fridge logic I haven't been able to get over, and I wondered if anyone might have any thoughts. Most little plot snags or inconsistencies this season are pretty easy to handwave or ignore, and I at least understand why most of the threads left loose didn't get the...

Yeah, retrieving the D saucer and Kirk's body, pretty cool.

Oh I see, gotcha!

I don't get it. I mean the CG is nice and I'm assuming it's worked into footage taken from Generations, and very cleanly so. What are they showing off, and also what did that mean exactly?

And no worries, sorry about that myself! That really would be fascinating. I haven't read the novelization of TMP by Roddenberry, but Jessie Gender did a video once that dived into it a bit to talk about the difference between the Starfleet that Roddenberry envisioned at the time and the...

New Jersey is one now! X ] Edit: The above sentence no longer makes any sense, there was a post in between once. And the Enterprise was said to be among the first generation of warp drive ships at one point, and a lot of basic things like what year it is and what the parts of the ship do...

Suffix. Edit: It feels like they're putting a finger in the dyke of obligatory Enterprise flagships, doesn't it? The NX Enterprise was all but a prototype shakedown cruise. The NCC-1701 Enterprise was a ship of the line and the best the fleet had to offer, but not officially any different from...

True. I guess in retrospect it makes sense. Maybe we've just had so much of that garbage that it felt like the norm so it didn't feel like it was leading anywhere to me, and I just thought it was Picard S1 Starfleet back on their bullshit.

Oh yeah, I have no doubt he was on the other side of the teletype machine. But nothing's changed my opinion since we were watching it the first time that Raffi's isolation and lack of resources at the start was ridiculous bathos and there was simply no reason not to jump straight to the two of...

It's odd, I hadn't even thought about how the flashback was so specific. For Picard to be old, happy to carry on about Starfleet values and the value of a crew, but still weirdly dismissive of biological family after his own various family troubles, it'd have to happen in between S1 and S2, and...

This season of Picard definitely felt that way. Crusher talked about him as if he was dead on two different occasions. That's a pretty explicit sign that at least according to this series, he hasn't been visiting.

Aw, but you don't get to see the dramatic chase in which three quadcopters from Radio Shack are knocked out of the air by one quadcopter from Radio Shack before they can destroy a NASA rocket on the launchpad with their no weapons. And you're missing out on so many other lovely features...

I think it only mattered in S2 when he died. Like, for it to matter again would be for a future story to reveal that Q doesn't know his own future or fears for his own death by another cause, at which point they'd have to iron out a continuity snag. The Q that experienced dying is kinda ...

Like Axaday, I think the text is unambiguous - he scolds Jack for thinking linearly because the Q don't live a linear existence; his apparent age is always a choice, as is everything else about his appearance, and he's spent time all over our past and future. He just chose to travel back to meet...

There's absolutely some Excelsior in there - Matalas mentions in the article that the Excelsior lines of the secondary hull combined with Constitution parts were what jumped out at him about the Shangri-La. But if you're asking what a new Excelsior Class would look like and how that would be...

Yeah, for me episode three coming around and anticipating my commentary and actually containing subtext made me sit up and pay attention. Any writing that was happening on anything more than a superficial level and conscious of what I would be thinking as a viewer was something new for Picard...

Oh jive, this is the Shangri-La? It is, I didn't recognize it. https://dapsmagic.com/2023/02/the-uss-titan-a-how-this-star-trek-picard-ship-was-created/ So like the Luna-class Titan it was made out of in canon, it was a fan contest winner!
