So, is there a scale of more super/less super?
Simple. Tribbles are stated to be able to take in any organic material as part of their reproductive cycle. They clearly just use carbon to support themselves.
“Jean-Luc Picard is back”: will new Picard show eclipse Discovery?
- Thread starter Groppler Zorn
- Start date
Obviously. Compare Superman to, say, Beak.
So it's going to be a regular series and not a limited series. Will start production in April 2019.

If it's true then intend to rotate shows, then the gap between seasons 2 and 3 of Disco might be even longer.
Picard S1 - January to March 2020
DSC S3 - April to June 2020
Another series - July to September 2020
Short Treks S3 - October to December 2020
I reckon we'll get a load more Short Treks in late 2019 too, perhaps like 8 episodes.
Well, they said series - but they didn't specify how many episodes - could be anywhere from 6 - 13 given the way they do some streaming series.
I reckon it'll be 8 episodes. But who knows. It could be 13.
I am surprised that it will be an ongoing series. I suspect the course-correction of Disco S2 regarding the Klingons and their ships is to bring it more in line with The Picard Show's TNG roots (i.e. inevitable Worf cameo)
I won't be satisfied unless there's a cameo of every 24C character.
Well, except Beltran. Screw him.

Then you won't be satisfied.
Yup. Chakotay is now Picards Number One, because Picard is making up for his actions in setting up the DMZ. The show is also partially set in the briar patch, where Picard drives Dune buggies with Anji all day. Until Picards old friend and mentor, Michael Burnham, turns up and they go on a wild ride with their new friend Neelix, who has been summoned from the Delta Quadrant to deal with an emergency involving Suliban and Picards love child with Pulaski. Who is played by Wil Wheaton.
He plays Shakespeare. Picard always plays Shakespeare.
He plays Shakespeare plays. He wears a suit made from pages of the First Folio and a holographic working miniature of the Glode around his head like a crown and travels the galaxy literally delivering the Gospel of the Bard to other cultures.l
And I’m assuming Neelix arrived via a portable transwarp beaming device and he reanimates the corpse of Tasha Yar using Dr McCoy’s patented “super blood”
He got it from Data’s toenail, found floating in the Delta Quadrant after falling through the Barzan Wormhole. You are correct, yes.
And yet this has become its own subgenre in a way. Terminator Genisys was like that. Maleficent (as a deconstruction that zigs instead of zagging) was like that. Even The Last Jedi (as a deconstruction that zigs against established SW tropes) is like that. As a culture we've become so pop-culture-literate, as it were, that it's hard not to make a film sitting on top of existing IP that doesn't in some way rely on that knowledge, to homage it, easter egg it, or (increasingly common) to pee on it in an attempt to criticize the past or fix something that may not have needed fixing.
Or just to find a new approach or angle on the subject matter that isn't simply doing the same old thing the same old way it's always been done. You can rework something, even invert it or turn it inside-out, without necessarily peeing on it.
Just because, say, you find it interesting to tell "Beowulf" from Grendel's POV doesn't mean you're spitting on the original version. You're just playing with it.
As the Doctor was saying just yesterday, you can honor the past while not necessarily being beholden to it--on your way to becoming something new and different.
Which is why we have "Maleficent" or "Wicked" among others.
I don't know if it's going to "eclipse" DISCO, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings even a little bit. The late 24th/Early 25th century is a much wider canvas upon which to paint stories, and it's good that TBTB finally realized that.

I'm hoping that the picard show is basically Patrick Stewart's Blunt Talk but in the 24th century, Blunt Trek if you will. Picard as a washed up drunk has been who tries to get his career back on track. Viewing Dynamite
