Star Trek: Picard

Well there was the redemption for Deanna on the 1701-D in Series III.

I'm honestly a little sick of the complaints regarding Deanna at the helm.

Yes, Deanna was at the helm of the Enterprise-D when the saucer section crashed on Veridian III. However, the saucer's crash was a controlled crash, one that had been described in the ST:TNG Technical Manual (implying that it might well be something folks were drilled for and trained for in-universe), and lo and behold, the majority of the people onboard the ship made it out alive. And a Galaxy-class had a crew compliment of over a thousand people. She did the best she could with what she had.

Also, yes, Deanna was at the helm of the Enterprise-E when they rammed the ship into the Scimitar. That particular case, however, was a bit of desperation.

I personally hope that her stint behind the helm of the restored Enterprise-D in Picard Season 3 and the successful rescue will dispel at least some of those complaints.

And though I know it's not very Trek, a part of me does wish that Beverly had fired one last torpedo at the Borg Queen on their way out. Y'know, just to make sure.

A fine tradition, used by all exemplary female starship officers, otherwise known as the "Ripley Manoeuvre"

That whole Picard / Jack / Queen scene would have been very different if Crusher had gone instead huh. Wonder where she'd have got the power loader. "Get away from him you

I am a little fuzzy on it now because I never rewatched any so far, but remember when we saw in a trailer that Worf was a pacifist now and we wondered how that could work?

I don't really remember when he delivers that line in the series, but I know we'd already seen him slice up a Vulcan gangster and spend his slack time sparring with his new friend. What sort of pacifist is he?

IIRC, He says it to Riker as they are going to be transported down to the Section 31 facility where they find Data.

Also remember that he was married to Jadzia for a while, so he would have had the opportunity to learn how to loosen up and do humor better from her, not even including what he picked up from his time on the Enterprise. Picard-era Worf definitely knows how to intentionally rib people(and I don't mean with a batleth).

So maybe he was just joking? I don't remember seeing anything at all to substantiate the line.

I think the term most frequently applied to him in commentary was that he was more "zen," which isn't really the same thing as "pacifist." I don't remember the exact quote, but it might have been intended more to the effect of "seeking more pacifist (that is to say, "peaceful" or at least "non violent") solutions," which would be more consistent with the Worf we saw. Perfectly capable of violence, but seeking other options when available.

It had nowhere to go but the cutting room floor when they realized that they never substantiated the idea of Worf being a pacifist and showed plenty to deny it.

So a question highlighted by the first episode of Picard. On a planet that has evolved beyond the need for money, who gets the apartment on the 20th floor in Boston and who gets the Chateau in France?

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 out there between Generations and sometime after Nemesis, and then fucked off for Jean-Luc to "inherit" the place when he retired? I mean I guess we're only told that they don't have money, not that they don't have landlords. One thing that can be said though, it seems that it's been an active vineyard in the "present" era and everyone who's lived there has been actively producing wine, and by extremely traditional means at that, until the beginning of S3, where Picard and Laris are leaving and packing up the house but not exactly moving out?

One might suspect that the Federation actually isn't very good at socialism.

Earth might be “old hat” and thus not that popular with the majority of the population?

It operates kinda like a timeshare and you can sign up for areas and slots to live somewhere for a period of time?

People who owned/staked places post WWIII were allowed to keep it so long as they and their descendants continued to occupy it?

That would be my guess. When the New Economy was implemented after the unification of Earth, certain compromises were made to the various powers that allowed for managment of legacy land holdings, especially if it relates to preservation of some sort of cultural traditions(traditional French wine production, in this case)
