I wonder why they didn't just set it at the dawn of the 25th century. It would have only been one more year. A minor nitpick, sure, but it would have been nice to have our first bit of 25th century Trek.
Picard might be starting with the end of an era, then finishing with the dawn of a new one. One of the taglines for the series is "The End is just The Beginning". Plus, you know, all the people who were complaining "We want the 24th Century back!!!" Here they go. Just barely.
I'm keeping track of how many votes are early and made up of people who haven't even watched yet, so I can mentally subtract the non-serious votes.
People do realize 25th century starts in 2401 not in 2400, right? We just went through all this with 21st century just 20 years ago. Seinfeld even did an episode on it. Do people forget that quickly? Like the pic google posts when asking this question
I did, but I figured it wasn't an argument worth having. When it turned 2000, I just shut up, nodded my head and celebrated the "new" century just like everyone else. Okay, that's not entirely true. My father was paranoid about Y2K, I was very mildly disappointed that nothing came of the hype, then I said, "I'm taking my first piss of the new millennium." We had champagne to celebrate with. I was 20, so I couldn't buy any drinks of my own. So I was stuck with whatever I had. I didn't like the way it tasted, so I mixed it with Coca-Cola. Didn't make it taste that much better.
I guarantee you at least one post that if they show year 2400 in Picard, someone will proclaim “Welcome to 25th century”
Actually, the show more likely takes place in 2401. Fifteen years after Picard left Starfleet, which information provided at Comic-Con states was 2386.
Let me try to understand this thread. There's a poll about the new series which hasn't been released yet. Is this a poll for people who are in some very special group of people who have already seen the episode or is this poll just waiting for the first airing later this month?
She was Annika in unimatrix 0, and she has to be as human as possible in PIC (Ryan said that at STLV)
This is a discussion thread, with poll, for whoever's seen the episode whenever or however they've seen it.
This isn't really a continuation of TNG, it does feature Picard and some of the TNG characters, but the main focus is going to be on Picard and the new characters, and the story is brand new, not a continuation of anything we got on TNG.
Spoiler: This is annoying... How is it not a continuation? It looks like it is going to be a Romulan story mixed with Borg elements. Both important parts of Picard's career.
It picks up on my favorite show and its characters decades later, so whatever the semantics are, it's still a real treat.
