Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

Why aren’t there any story leaks yet? The new Crap Wars movie plot was spoiled like 6 months before release date. There should be leaks. Come on people of knowledge, screw your NDAs!

Let it go.

How important is this, really? We have the trailers. We have the comics. We have the upcoming Short Trek "Children of Mars".

We have no shortage of things to talk about.

Nooo! Don’t let this dishearten you just yet. There is still so much we can do to get leaks before the release date. We could Twitterstalk some of the minor actors and employees of the series.

Also, i am pretty sure, that i found out the home address of Jonathan Del Arco. If we just could team up and do a house visit, we might get some answers.
This is doable, just rely on your persuasion powers...

Yep and fandom would rip the leaks apart like ravenous dogs and we'd inevitably have it declared an abject failure before it even airs. No thanks.

As for you supposedly knowing Jonathan Del Arco's home address? Good luck with that. Do they have Amazon Prime behind bars?

First part sounds like something we wouldn't want to encourage here. Second has me hoping you're joking.

There ARE such things as anti-stalking laws.

A TV show is not worth going to jail for.

This is crazy.

I don't want to be a part of it.

Mr. Robot recently ended ITS run with 45 episodes on USA:

If Picard goes for three seasons, that would come out to about 30 episodes.

Perhaps there are different standards for streaming shows?

I don't think a standard has been defined yet or will be any time soon. Virtually every series I watch these days has a season that's 10-13 episodes. But sometimes less. And it'll just go for however long makes sense. I unintentionally and accidentally binged an entire season of a show called Dirty John with some friends yesterday. At first we thought it was a movie, then it turned out to be an eight-episode season. But then we got hooked and kept on watching to the end. Which was probably the effect the creators were going for.

I noticed that with Stranger Things, they're unofficially calling each season by the title and whatever number the season it is, like soon it'll be Stranger Things 4. So, ultimately, I think they'll keep making streaming seasons shorter and shorter until it finally crosses over from "short season" to "long movie", which might get a "sequel" season.

I'm basically treating Picard as a second chance to put him into a series of "movies" that actually does the character justice this time.

I'm trying to wrap my head around "streaming" series. (I'm Old Skool. I grew up in the era of only three broadcast networks.)

It plays well with the show's 80's aesthetic.

Back then, if you wanted a movie to make money, you had to keep cranking out sequel after sequel after sequel (Nightmare on Elm Street Part 6, Halloween 5, etc.)

For all intents and purposes, I'm treating this as Seven of Nine's feature film debut.

I was watching the British series Luther (with Idris Elba) a while back.

That's how the show labels its DVD's (Luther 2, Luther 3, Luther 4, etc.)
