Star Trek: Picard teaser trailer

[Jedman67]

Only if Picard uncovers another Data head buried in his vineyard.

Headcanon accepted.

Admirals log (retired) Stardate 3.14159
I have found the head of a Soong type android buried in my vinyard.
Also Spot is dead.
I will return to Starfleet to avenge them both - SHUT UP WESLEY!
Riker: "Will sir. Not Wesley."

[Later, at a Vinters Association Meeting]
From Chatau Picard, a delightful new wine: Positronic Noir

How many of the TNG characters would really still be serving on the Enterprise-E 10-15 years after Nemesis?! I don't think that is true, but I imagine one or two have passed away.

Yeah, only Geordi and Worf were left after Nemesis. Beverly was supposed to head Starfleet Medical but that was cut out of the movie.

Buried Age was a great book, and would be nice if they used some of it for this show
Maybe after the "Evacuation" that Starfleet promoted Picard to Admiral, and he was like, screw that.. ship or nothing, and resigned, Or.. as what the book series is currently alluding to, is that he has a kid with Beverly, and he doesn't want to raise the kid on a ship.... Him losing his family like Rene did would be kind of shallow writting.. and a low blow..

I'm pretty sure one of the announced cast members will be revealed as Picard's kid.

Lesley Crusher lives!

Wait....what?

I think that if Picard were a traditional french wine producer, they wouldnt need to use additional irrigation. Since this seems to be something only used to produce more and lower quality wine or in droughts. The important part is that the water has to come from the earth that carries the important nutrients and minerals that give it its distinct taste. Adding artificial irrigation on top adds nothing to the wine except mass. Obviously, you can rationalize this in any way you want.

The only real explanation is that the producers wanted to add something futuristc without really caring/knowing how high quality Bourgogne wine is produced. I dont expect the average american Star Trek Viewer to really care about such things either.

I must defer to your extensive knowledge of 25th century viticulture.

Trek Fan: WE WANT PICARD!
Also Trek Fan: Fuck this show--They are WATERING a vineyard!

The show is going to address the long standing feud between Star Trek fans and wine connoisseurs.

Hang on, do we know it's water? Looks like space duster to me...

Stardates were definitely established as being YEAR.MM, since Kirk's birthdate is in April 2233. So, the 2387.xx establishes the year Also it's explicitly stated that Spock is from 129 years in the future, from the year 2258.

There was never any onscreen confirmation of Earth year correlation to stardate, period. However, I do concede Spock Prime said he was 129 years from the future, and the correlation between Kirk's age points to 2387.

Now I’m officially hyped. Beautiful trailer... They better not screw this up. Still coping with the trauma i got with the last Indiana Jones movie...

Hang on, do we know it's water? Looks like space duster to me...

It's being watered with time crystal infused protowater. It grows backward from a hangover into grapes. If you can halt the process early on you get a fine wine..

but only at a terrible cost

Which isn't to say I mind political commentary and allegory in Trek. Heck, it was baked into the show from the beginning.

But I think that would be a little too on the nose.

I refer you to "Let that Be your Last Battlefield" for on the nose.

As you state, on the nose was baked in since the beginning.

I liked the teaser. It asks a bunch of questions I have, which means we'll probably get answers for that stuff. I really can't wait for this show.

It's not water. It's nanoprobes.

Yeah, the Romulans have been tragically underutilized in favor of the "more exciting" Klingons. Hopefully this series can touch on more Romulan stories.

If this series can avoid the Klingons at all costs (Other than maybe Worf), that's already a win. I'm tired of the Klingons and have always found the Romulans and Cardassians much more interesting.

It's strange to me that so many can walk away from this trailer excited. I'm not saying that one should be jaded, like am, or angry; but it just seems so unusual for people to be excited. In a world where people flip their shit when Robert Pattinson is rumored to be the next Batman (yet at the same time are all for signing petitions for Danny DeVito to be the nex Wolverine. Huh?!) A Starbucks cup appearing on Game of Thrones and a disappointing final season drives them to a petition to redo the entire fucking thing, it's strange that people can jump on board this trailer and think that, well, it can only be good, great and awesome.

It was a nice looking trailer, good visuals, and music and the narration was... Meh, mostly because it just feels like it's going to deal with "dark" stuff I'm not interested in when it comes to my Trek and I didn't blow my wad when Picard appeared. I sort of expected it.

But what is there to be excited over? The hovercraft tending to the vineyard? (Which, what was it doing? Any answer I can think of doesn't fit in the Trek world. Watering them? Today such a device might be needed in times of droughts, but in Trek's time weather control would make such a thing impossible. Applying herbicides/pesticides or other such chemicals? Seems to me that such a thing wouldn't be done in Trek's times and other means to protect plants from biological threats would've been found.) A Picard body double grazing his hands on the vines?

It reminds me of that Ghostbusters [3] trailer that came out a few months ago that was some of the first movie's eerie music playing over a shot of a barn with flashes of light and the sound effects of the proton packs as the wind blows a tarp off the rear fender of Ecto-1, not a single shot of the movie has been made, hell is there even a script?! And people declared that was going to be the greatest Ghostbuster movie since the original and that those behind it "got it."

This over-reactionary action of the internet.

A rumor that a former Twilight actor is going to be Batman? Madness and anger!
Meme of Danny DeVito being Wolverine? All for it! Go to Change.org and make a petition for it to happen!
"Gangsta's Paradise" playing in a video-game movie trailer? You're ruining an entire property. (Ok, that trailer was pretty crappy.)
Tarp blows off the fender of a 60-year-old vehicle? The franchise is BACK baby!
Water bottle barely seen behind someone's foot in a show taking place in medieval times? Remake the entire season!
Hovercraft farm-equipment treats a vineyard? Going to be the best Trek, ever!

Sigh, Internet.

I think it's a combination of Tone and Nostalgia. There felt like a more positive, contemplative tone with this trailer, and one of the issues I have with Discovery is it doesn't really feel optimistic enough. Also, people love Picard and Patrick Stewart so maybe they are a lot more forgiving on this series than if it was with a new cast.

Completely agree. Klingons are tired (despite DSC's efforts I'm still over them) and want more of the Romulans, please.

Nostalgia covers a multitude of sins.

Spock's ship also gives "Stardate 2387" as it's commissioning year. The evidence is incontrovertible.

Admiral Norah Satie brought down Picard. He returned the favor by planting her under his vines.
