All four of the other films you mean? I know Insurrection gets memory holed a lot, and I assume you mean Generations and First Contact as the two people like...

Yes, Generations and First Contact are the ones most people like, but I am curious about their opinion on all four films.

Nemesis and Picard Spoilers
Yes.
Put some more stuff in that spoiler box.

Is there some stuff like they were especially unprepared for the megasupernove because of what Shinzon did? I would more say the fallout from the first Abrams movie gets dealt with.

There's also all the stuff involving Data's death, without which the events of Picard wouldn't happen.

The Riker/Troi wedding is also a big deal (and also ties back to the absence of Data).

I was being silly, but you guys covered it. The 2007 movie might be good to watch prior to Picard S1, but I think that the Next gen films are definitely a must before hand.


All of these events play into Picard season 1-3:


Generations Spoilers
Death of Picard's family.
Destruction of the Enterprise.
The Death of Kirk.


First Contact spoilers:

First appearance of the Borg Queen.
Enterprise E debut(mentioned a lot in the next to last Picard episode)
Picard having a Borg connection still.


Insurrection spoilers:

Riker and Troi get back together


Nemesis Spoiler:

Riker and Troi get married
Riker and Troi leave to command the Titan
Data dies to save Picard and the crew
A back up of data is implanted into a found prototype of him named B4

I'll get through the TOS movies next week, maybe.

Saw the third ep. Actually pretty relaxing.

I kinda wanted more T'Lyn here. Like, just a little more excitement from here.

I'm still not wild about Mariner but I'm sure what she did is 100% relatable and it's refreshing that a main character did it, the slime.

I don't get why Billups was involved. The mission isn't tech based or even cultural diplomatic so it's not his forte. He's asexual, right? Trope wise, people should be throwing themselves on him.

I do love that people recognize that Boimler can be counted on to do anything. Assign him to something and he will accomplish it (after some initial mishaps).

Btw, the ending of Prodigy, you guys said the crisis there was related to... Picard, right? Is this related somehow too?

There is the Crusher scene at the end that ties into Picard. But the crisis? I take the crisis to mean when they are almost ready to fix the timeline and the loom show up and almost keep them from fixing it. There are some visuals with the loom that remind me of the BIG WEIRD BAD at the end of Picard Season 1, but I don't think they are related. We never saw all of that again, but presumably that was some extra-galactic or extra-dimensional robots. Not Loom.

Warning: I have basically not watched any of Picard this is second hand.

I believe I have heard people say that the crisis Starfleet is going through at the very end of Prodigy, where Janeway is mad at the Federation/Starfleet from turning more inward away from exploration was the big disaster that originally made Picard retire and sets up that show.


-ZacWilliam, so I have heard I think,

Um, ok, putting it in another way, if the current crisis ongoing in s5 Lower Decks is related to anything going on in other Trek series?

Oh. In the denouement, yes, Starfleet is reshuffling because of the android revolt. That revolt is shown a little in flashbacks on Picard. It is a historical event by then.

I didn't like how Prodigy handled that. It makes it sounds like a very significant portion of Starfleet staffing has been androids for a while now, but we didn't see one on Voyager.

Nah, Lower Decks hasn't caught up to that point int he timeline yet. We got a stardate at the start of this last ep, and it translates to approximately May 24, 2382, and the Prodigy stuff was 2384 (and the epilogue was 2385)

Lower Decks is not happening in the most current time? I didn't know that. So if they guest appear or are referenced in the most current show, we would see Boimler as a captain or Tendi and Rutherford having a robo baby or T'Lyn fulfilling her secret diabolical destiny or something.

Anyhow, this is old but during the trial Veritas ep s1 ep8, when Tendi joins Ransom's spy mission by accident as a cleaner, Ransom and his crew have matching neck tattoos. But I don't see it around in the vacation ep. Was that explained?

They have obscured the meaning of "most current time".

Strange New Worlds, probably 2260 by now
Section 31, early 24th century
Lower Decks, 2382
Prodigy, 2385
Starfleet Academy, 32nd century

Those are the going concerns right now.

Picard season 3 was set in 2401 and I think that is what you actually meant. But why is THAT the current time?

Saw the 4th ep A Farewell to Farms.

What's the intro in reference to? It has to be something Star Trek, right?

I'm not sure I liked Alternate Boimler's look in the first ep but this slow growth of our Boimler is growing on me.

I still don't like Migleemo but I kinda love the goal of his race.

Did farm guy get smaller? I thought he was smaller the first time then got bigger. Did his character model get small again?

Other than the violence and crap, I rather liked this ep. Hoping for more good things from that guy.
