It´s on october 6th? Thats my birthday...I call that a good omen ;-P
AFAIK, Netflix has the Short Treks rights. As to whether they'll release the one that exists soley to hype a series on their rival service is another matter.
And we had to wait until Disco S2 for them to even release them over here.
5th! Even better, the day before
Hmm, it'll be interesting to see what the status of the Enterprise-E is.
In the novelverse she is still going strong as of 2386-2387. They haven't reached the destruction of Romulus yet. But that's still several years before Picard is supposed to take place if I recall correctly.
They were refitting it at the end of Nemesis, so if I had to make a guess I'd probably think it was active for a number of years after that. Is it still active by the time of Picard? A good question. I suspect since this show is supposed to center on Picard and they don't want to do TNG-redux that it won't be in service by the time of the show. Having various TNG cast members guest star is one thing. I think that's sort of expected. Picard would undoubtedly call on some of his old friends from the Enterprise from time to time, either for help or just a cup of tea
. But having the ship reappear would probably be too much like TNG for what they want to do.

Well I personally hate when the destroy the enterprise.. Whichever version..
But let's look at the known timeline..
Nx-01 to tos was 84 years without an enterprise in the fleet.. Then from c-d was 20 years.
And it doesn't have to be destroyed.. Just decommissioned due to something..

Is that like the odd numbered Movie curse? Or is it even numbers? They could do like Windows and skip a
It sounds like the Picard: Countdown comic will also cover Picard's final mission.
I could see where we could get some nice drama out of Picard running into his old ship, but with a new captain and crew.Hmm, it'll be interesting to see what the status of the Enterprise-E is.

So, who do you think would be Captain of the Enterprise (E-F... whoever) if they do indeed show it??
Just dawned on me - Jonathan Frakes being hired to play scenes over a decade earlier again!!
Either Geordi, Worf, or someone new. I'd vote for someone new, just to make things even weirder for Picard if it does become involved in the show.
All we officially know about the Enterprise-B was that she wasn't in service by 2344.
Enterprise: Scuttled over planet Genesis.
Enterprise-A: Decommissioned after Khitomer Conference.
Enterprise-B: Unknown fate.
Enterprise-C: Destroyed at the Battle of Narendra III.
Enterprise-D: Deanna Troi.
Enterprise-E: Fate yet to be revealed.
Of the ones we know:
Original: DESTROYED
A: Lemon
C: DESTROYED
D: DESTROYED
Not a good track-record. This sounds like my history with cars.
To make it complete: The B probably lasted forever and ever. The engine ran fine but the entire body probably fell apart around it to the point where they probably decided it wasn't even worth refitting anymore.

Considering the fifty or so Excelsior-class ships we saw in TNG and DS9, one can assume they were built to last and that the ENT-B must have met a...sudden and unexpected ending.
Hahah. But, be fair, it's not entirely Deanna's fault. Suddenly Riker, La Forge and the entire crew developed mass amnesia about the simple act of modulating shield frequency, which would have easily saved the ship (and which we had seen done in countless episodes.)
It's a sign of pretty terrible writing when 50% of your audience literally knows the in-universe "tech" solution and your characters don't.
I'm inclined to think the opposite: the Enterprise-B was the long-serving starship with the name and was around long enough to be properly decommissioned. The Enterprise-C, on the other hand, was around the shortest, IMO.
...And may have jinxed the name by her poor performance, so that there was this two-decade gap till the E-D.
As for rotating the shields against the Duras sisters, a fat lot of good that would do, with a Klingon spy doing the rotating! It's as much a "plot hole" as LaForge saying he can't save the warp core - even if the audience knows of 47 tricks he might try, he's the one who is fully entitled to say that those won't work.
