New Picard SDCC Trailer
- Thread starter Prax
- Start date
You may be right and yet, Nemesis was all over that trailer.
They're not pretending it didn't happen (which, TBH, would be weird), but I predict they're going to gloss over details. "Data died saving me".
If it happened on screen it's fair game to be referenced, in my opinion. That includes the poorer outings as well as the top-shelf ones.
This is Star Trek-warts and all.
It is a pretty fair point that the more well-known outings tend to get more referential love.
But I will say, Enterprise seems to get a hell of a lot of references for a series that seems to be one of (if not) the least popular. I was not expecting it to play so heavily into Star Trek Beyond and even its mirror universe episodes to practically be the backbone of Discovery's.
Of course. I was arguing against the whole "people would be happy to forget" argument about episodes. For good or ill, they are there and can be referenced.
I was pleasantly surprised in Beyond, as well as ST 09, with "Admiral Archer's prized beagle" bit.
This post, however, has not.
I actually think this is a more likely prediction than any others on this topic thus far.
Agree 100%. Regardless of the "popularity" of the film, there were several events that took place that were major and would need to be addressed or at least acknowledged.
A phone call to legal would've sorted that out real quick. IIRC, everything prior to the Viacom split (which would be everything up to Nemesis) was and is CBS property.
The point isn't whether they can. The point is whether they will. There are episodes that will be deliberately ignored for as long as Trek continues to be made. Most of them are perfectly fine episodes that simply need no follow-on, but some of them are the real stinkers that nobody in their right mind wants to go anywhere near.

Yeah, other than the evacuation of Romulus it really doesn't sound the same at all to me. I mean there's only so many directions you could go 20 years post Nemesis. He also tried to stir the pot about David Mack's Control being used......I think David is fine with it since it was just announced that he is an official consultant for the Trek Universe. Rob keeps coming across as bitter that he is not involved and these videos do not help him or his chances.
What is Fuller even doing now? He left Trek because of American Gods.....then left American Gods after season one...was attached to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles then left.....was attached to Apple's Amazing Stories anthology reboot.......then left.
Someone is watching it somewhere.........I get about 200 reaction videos when I search for it. Do Twitter and Instagram views count?
You know each country has its own Prime YouTube channel right?
TPTB do seem determined to ram the "franchise killers" (now Nemesis too) down our throats.
"That thing you hated? It's really important to what we're doing now. Learn to love it."
Sounds a bit paranoid, but I wouldn't be too surprised if there are mandates from above to maximize value of underperforming parts of the franchise by featuring it prominently.
Bigger cross over audience.
Very successful video game.
Very successful book series.
People looking for ‘new’ game of thrones.
It will get covered by many many more news sites as a result.
It’s also not gated internationally.
I wouldn’t worry. Picard has good buzz. Better than discovery I would say.
A conversation between Sarek and Amanda could have mentioned "the other one".
I would have liked a character saying to another ‘I feel your pain’ and Burnham and Spock sharing a raised eyebrow. It would be enough.
