Star Trek: Picard teaser trailer

[Tuskin38]

Anyways that's just the year it was bottled, not the year the show takes place.

 

[.:: TSN ::.]

I do hope there is a legit connection to the Kelvin timeline, and maybe we learn that they know what happened to Spock. Maybe they establish that Spock was able to communicate and let them know Nero's fate.

As far as the Prime timeline is concerned Spock died saving the universe. No need to mention Kelvinverse in any way.

 

[Tuskin38]

what is the first name on that label?

I think it just says famille, which means family.

 

[Yistaan]

Here's the best theory I have about why he leaves Starfleet: When Romulus is destroyed, the Federation handles the influx of refugees poorly....I think we are probably looking at the creation of a humanitarian crisis of the Taursus IV / Kodos variety. Picard pleads with the Federation to do something but with the Dominion War having taken its toll, it just can't. Thousands of Romulan refugees die. Picard takes this personally after he was the architect of the rescue armada and played a roll in helping to secure a future for the Romulans.

This would play well with he "Trek tackling culturally significant issues on screen." My guess is that is going to be the event that drove him out.....but now something has happened to bring him back in.

Anyone else get the vibe that they may be doing something else to "reboot" his character? Wonder if McAvoy will be recast as a young Picard?

And they could add in that Vulcan left the Federation rather than accept Romulan refugees.

I don't think anyone in the Prime Timeline is super concerned about a mining ship

Although it likely isn't canon, Countdown shows that Nero wiped out a Klingon fleet, Starfleet rescue ships, and severely injured Worf before falling into a black hole.

Yep, essentially Unification fell apart. Knowing what he knew and the hard work that he had personally invested in it....he walked away. Im sure it is more complicated than that but that plays into my theory.

 

[Galaxy]

It most likely is France. Nothing suggests otherwise.

I would say that we are seeing Napa Valley.

 

[Tuskin38]

The wine bottles say France

Edit: Oh I'm a dumb dumb, the filming location.

 

[ITDUDE]

Oh, how much I love getting lost in the details, but... what is the first name on that label?

I'm trying to decipher it... Is first letter L or S? Scripts are sometimes hard to read

It says family in French.

 

[Shon T'Hara]

Is it just me, or does the actress talking to Picard sound like Gina Torres?

A couple other people have mentioned that.

Apparently he ignored Kirk's advice and accepted a promotion after all.

A bit template with the maudlin muzak and sentences designed for toddlers to comprehend, but they're not the target audience because they have zero knowledge or relationship for Jean-Luc, much less be able to sit through 11.25 minutes of an episode before their attention spans waver demand they go chase squirrels onto the road after eating a pint of coffee choc ice cream...

Well, it falls in the same tradition of making Kirk and Spock and Scotty and other near-deities falling down because there's no other possible dramatic angle.

Picard also never had faith as such. Look up "Who Watches the Watchers", it's definitive.

Loved the use of the Trek theme and TNG subtheme at the end - which makes up for what are few obvious nitpicks. If the premiere sells it and, again, Patrick "I'm done with Picard" Stewart liked what he saw, this show could legitimately be a winner.

But teasers mean very little. For example, "Goldeneye" had a marvelous teaser, but the actual movie was so idiotic. And to think that's the best of Bond movies from the 1990s... Star Trek V had a decent teaser. Movie was a mixed bag. STIV had even less of a teaser than Picard's show and that movie was rather a high note for Kirk and co to end on. So I'm awaiting the premiere, admittedly with bated breath. Sir Patrick is a big reason as to why.

 

[Qonundrum]

So 86 is the vintage, right? As in 2386? So if he was still Admiral in let's say in 2384 when the "big thing" happened, he then retired, planted some grapes and got his first harvest and wine bottles right around 2386, that seems right. And "now" it is 2399, 15 years since he retired. I think everything lines up with that date. Am I missing anything?

Would you believe it's actually homage to Maxwell Smart? If I'm wrong, I'll say "Missed it by that much."

 

[Crewman6]

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.

That's a....pretty awful design. Looks like the Voyager crossed with a blue whale. Yuck.

 

[Crewman6]

The teaser feels like the show will open with Admiral Picard narrating the story of why he leaves Starfleet. Could the entire Picard show be a "flashback" showing us what happened after Nemesis?

No. There would be zero point to doing that.

 

[Crewman6]

Picard also never had faith as such. Look up "Who Watches the Watchers", it's definitive.

There are many kinds of faith. The show is definitely not talking about that kind of faith.

 

[Titus Andronicus]

I am definitely excited by the trailer--just the look and feel of it establish this show as being something definitely different from Discovery. Which, I believe, is a good thing. I have enjoyed Discovery but giving each Trek show it's own distinctive style and look will be better for the franchise in both the short and long run.

 

[Qonundrum]

Okay, it's SO obvious no one has ever really talked about it much, but:

• It friggin' starts with Picard at his wine-yard in France

Whatever happened next - these guys are familiar with Picard! Hell, they even played the flute.

Now I know, "Picard at his wineyard" is kind of the obvious starting point for a show about Picard, after "All good things".

But yeah, it's a goddamn relieve to have a Star Trek show "get the obvious right" right from the start!
If the Hobus supernova truly is the event they're talking about involving a "rescue armada" (and chances are good, since Kurtzman said that was the event that kinda' broke him) - they even get that point right so far.

Goddamn. Feels good.

100% agreed. Nitpicks or not, the premise behind the trite schmaltz says it all - concisely and rather beautifully, IMHO.

If the show is as good as the teaser...heck, the synopsis alluded to alone combined with Sir Patrick being lured in... I'd say that's a good combination, and unlike certain youtube channels nobody is out to deliberately destroy Star Trek, they're trying to reach new audiences. Even then there's still a distinction between good storytelling regardless of target audience age... but with Picard, trying to hook children or teenagers into a show that involves a guy that appealed to people who were children or teenagers (or older) some three decades ago, nor is it easy to write to multiple audience groups simultaneously...
