Star Trek: Picard teaser trailer

[Romulan_spy]

If it is connected to the destruction of Romulas, what if he found out that Starfleet had deleberately caused it somehow?

That's what I am thinking. Maybe Section 31 detonated some type of bomb inside the star to cause the Supernova? I could see Section 31 wanting to destroy Romulus, the homeworld of a key rival to the Federation. It would be the perfect way to cripple an enemy of the Federation in a way that looks like an unfortunate natural disaster.

So how many lights are behind him I say 4

The voice sounds like Michelle Hurd one of the co-star of the series

Fuck no! Can we have one thing not polluted by that S31 crap?

Indeed.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

Anyone hope that the show will introduce the Odyssey class Enterprise F? It would be so cool to get a new starship Enterprise on the TV screen.

Well that's certainly a better design than the Enterprise-E.

 

[ITDUDE]

I suppose it could be -- "every starship in your armada was destroyed, including the Enterprise and Titan." That would solve the issue of TNG guest appearances...

I like it, but I am cynical

I'm guessing it's a Romulan talking, the rescue armada was to save as many Romulans as possible but a ship with Beverly (and their children?) on board was destroyed when the supernova destroyed Romulus, breaking Picard.

Definitely seems the best and most plausible possibility. But damned if they go back to that well again. The whole supernova traveling at warp is already pretty absurd event, but then it suddenly accelerated and got to Romulus faster than expected? Never liked that whole thing in ST09 and I hope they don't spend too much time on in in STP.

I'm pretty certain the voiceover is Gina Torres.

Maybe. But it seems to me like the deaths of his wife and children would be known by whomever he would be talking to at Starfleet - and they're *asking why he walked away*. That would be a big enough reason that they wouldn't need to ask, so maybe it's something else.

I don't think the unthinkable can solely be the destruction of Romulus, as the teaser tells us that it caused Picard to lose faith in both himself and "us." Did the Federation turn back the refugees of the disaster? What did the speaker's people do to cause his loss of faith?

Wasn't the fact that the Vulcan Science Council or High Command or whatever the hell they are were sitting on their hands and not sending help for the catastrophe at Romulus one of the plot points of Countdown? Maybe that's why Picard lost faith and walked away?

 

[ITDUDE]

Star Trek and Terminator trailers - the same day?! is it 2009 again?

More like 1991 again

 

[Romulan_spy]

Then maybe someone else, not S31. I am just speculating based on the narration in the trailer. I could be totally off base and Picard leaving Starfleet as nothing to do with the Hobus incident.

It's always the fault of those darn Vulcans. LOL.

I think you're on the right track. The supernova tragedy etc. would be known to the questioner, and they know that why Picard left Starfleet is something else. Maybe it's something related to Romulus' destruction, but distinct in that not much people know about it.

It may run the gamut of the Federation blocking all Romulan refugees from immigrating to the Federation outright causing the supernova (which had to be unnatural, as normal supernovas don't threaten the galaxy, which Spock said it did. STO touched on the supernova being artificially caused by Iconians, I think)

Can we have one thing not polluted by that S31 crap?

Section 31 represents a dark set of ideas we see in the real world every day. I wouldn't be surprised that, even if Section 31 is officially disbanded by now, the deeds they did and the ideals they held became "mainstreamed" into normal Starfleet/Federation activities, and this is why Picard left. The show could be about Section 31 without ever mentioning the words 'Section 31'.

 

[Ithekro]

Doesn't the Star Trek Online timeline have Picard's last mission in Starfleet as an evacuation of Khitomer of all non-Klingon citizens? It was a massive effort because the Klingons didn't allow for much time, but Picard managed to get an allowance of a bit more time from Martok, and lead a massive force to the planet to get everyone away. I would imagine Picard would take the falling out between the Federation and Klingon Empire a bit personally after all the effort he spent on the Klingons via Worf and his time as Arbiter of Succession, and the installation of the (clone) Emperor.

Assuming Kurtzman goes along with his own comic timeline, than Picard was an ambassador when Hobus exploded.

Those Star Trek Online prose timelines on their website (and the STO novel) would likely be the first to be steamrolled. And the devs would gladly wipe out those webpages to keep continuity with the Picard show (and claim Jake Sisko was drunk when he wrote the STO novel, which was an in-universe documentary written by him).

How the game itself would fit with the Picard show on the other hand--that might be much harder to manage...

 

[Tuskin38]

How far in advance did they know Hobus was going to explode? He could have been leading the evacuation effort in advance.

 

[SJGardner]

Rewatched the teaser again (mainly as an attempt to feel hype again after the total letdown the new Terminator trailer ended up being), and my first impression is that we're hearing a reporter interviewing him for an anniversary. It's mostly based on the wording she uses, how she recaps something that sounds like something well known to the public, and how she ends it with a directed question about why he left Starfleet. I definitely think it's an interview.

One of the devs has said they're willing to rework the game's timeline to fit with the show, but they also said they're willing to treat STO as just an alternate timeline from the show.

They're going to wait and see how much the show changes.

 

[Borgminister]

Perfection. I'm speechless.
