Picard Poster

[Crewman6]

I like this poster but is that a bulldog? I’m just curious if the dog breed. Looks adorable.

It's a changeling.

I can't believe that they've changed the shape of dogs again. Am I supposed to believe that's the same species as Porthos? This disregard for canon is going to make the show completely unwatchable.

Yeah! First the Klingons, then the Borg and now dogs! What’s next? A cat that looks different than Spot?

So, four pages in and we're all about the dog. Somehow, this feels typical and normal, and is therefore comforting.

Star Trek Picard: Episode 1 Synopsis

"After retired Admiral Picard's dog attacked and killed a toddler, Picard is forced to flee with the dog to Romulan space to escape extradition."

Seriously though, fuck pitbulls. This doesn't ruin the show or anything, but as someone who got chased up a car by a pitbull (for no other reason then it saw me walking by) this will be the one show I watch where I'll be actively hoping to see the dog (by this I mean the fictional character, not the dog actor, obviously) get killed. Also, don't start that "its the owner, not the dog" BS. Pitbull's are predisposed to attacking people and other animals even if they are raised by loving owners who pamper them. Literally the worst dog species possible to choose for the show, unless Picard is supposed to be a villain.

Like I said, the dog is a non factor in my potential enjoyment of this show, which I'm still excited for, but its a bizarre and stupid choice.

Okay, I'll admit, I kind of understand your perspective on this. I was once bitten by a beagle and was therefore against seeing Porthos on Enterprise. Actually made me smile when we found out Scotty probably scattered his atoms across the quadrant.

Picard having a dog violates canon in every way imaginable. I can't see how any true Star Trek™ fan can support this show.

Ah, but does it? As of now, four out of seven Captains have or have had dogs. Kirk had Butler, Picard now has this dog, Janeway had Mollie, and Archer had Porthos. So really, Sisko, Lorca and Pike are the outliers. Actually, Sisko might be the only Captain without a pet at all, Pike had a horse and Lorca had a tribble.

Sisko was himself a pet...of the Prophets...

Alternate license!
Not canon!
Canceled before aired!
Stewart blackmailed!
Kurtzman fired!

The dog will eat K'Bar's homework.

I came in here for one reason, and one reason alone: to see how many comments would be made about the dog in the poster.

I am pleased to see that the TrekBBS denizens, although shamelessly predictable, did not disappoint.

I just thought the Dog and Picard together looked adorable. I thought that was supposed to be a positive.

 

[Longinus]

The only reason the dog seems weird to me is that I can't imagine people in the Trek future still cutting down an animal's ears. It's galling that we still do it now.

Yeah, I'm upset about that. I wished it was a type of dog which naturally has that sort of ears, but I doubt that is the case. It is probably an American Bully, and those ears look mutilated.

PICARD: Captain's dog. Stardate....oh...right...

 

[donners22]

Obviously there’s a link to the time when Beverly was turned into a dog.

There is no "planet" in the poster, there's just a ring of light.

Yeah, just like in the previous poster there was no Enterprise D. Only clouds.

 

[Beckerjr]

He could have called him, "Mr Woof."

Make it so Mr. Woof!

 

[thribs]

Make it so Mr. Woof!

It has to be Harry.

 

[SJGardner]

It has to be Harry.

It's Hairy. Hairy Kim.

Or maybe Hairy Pupper.

 

[MrPointy]

Call the dog Wesley.

Wait one MFing second.

What planet is that in the sky?? Where have they moved the Picard vineyard?????

The dog was just to distract us from the REAL issue here

It's literally the only thing in the poster worth discussing. What else is there? A vineyard? Barrels? Picard's boots?

It's not a planet. It's just light. It evokes the look of a planet, but obviously isn't a literal one.
