Romulan space is vast. I doubt the Federation would block the Romulans from evacuting to planets within Romulan held space that is away from the danger zone. That would be interfering with another culture's internal affairs.

Did you expect anything less?
Vast Romulan space doesn't automatically equal planets habitable for Romulan people. That's why the Genesis project was such a big deal.
Russia and China are vast. Yet wide swaths of Russia are chilly wastes.
If Romulan space was so easy and vast, the Remans would have ditched Remus years ago.
The alt-right clearly is among us...
Didn’t know Midnight‘s edge had an account here...
Not saying it would 'easy'. But I'm certain they would at the very least be able to transport a million people that is outside the danger zone but still within their space. Heck you probably only need ONE planet for that.
Let's says things were flip flopped and the supernova was happening to Earth. I'm pretty sure star feet would be a be to save at least one million by transporting people to places like Vulcan or any of the countless federation worlds/colonys/starbases/moons etc
Also, there should be allot of romulans existing outside the danger zone by default. I'm pretty sure they have populaces living in other systems.

True, but the world could be quite close to the supernova and still be affected. A supernova within some 30 light years would still produce lethal Gamma rays, necessitating an evacuation. My point wasn’t that only Romulus would be affected, but that the Empire should be large enough to contain many worlds completely unaffected.
Presumably, that’s what they did. I really hope they don’t go the way of some kind of unbelievable galaxy-shattering space event that obliterates all the Romulans and only leaves a few refugees. That wasn’t believable for Vulcan in ST09, given how many Vulcans are surely living off world, and it would be even less believable here.
That's almost as exciting as when Stargate did an episode which was actually literally set in Vancouver.I just read the most fun spoiler ever: Vasquez Rocks features in Picard... as Vasquez Rocks on Earth
Vancouver prefers roles that lets them stretch as an actor, but a paycheck is a paycheck.

Tampa, Florida often doubles as other cities in TV and films (it's doubled for Chicago and several Midwestern cities).
A rather sad commentary on Tampa, if you ask me; the city is so lacking an identity, it's interchangeable with other cities. (No one would expect New York to double for Boston.)
(Just so you know, I live just across the Bay from Tampa.)
Anyone got an alternate link for this that's not region-blocked in the US?
Amazing they took it down/geoblocked it. It was working fine yesterday. Frankly, I’m shocked they gave this clip to Graham Norton. It’s perhaps the most anticipated scene from the whole show among TNG fans. Perhaps they didn’t think very many would be watching. In any case, I couldn’t find a duplicate anywhere on a quick search, but I’d guess one will show up soon. Not long to go now, though.
It wasn't put out by the BBC, that's why it got pulled.Amazing they took it down/geoblocked it. It was working fine yesterday. Frankly, I’m shocked they gave this clip to Graham Norton.

I was surprised it lasted as long as it did, they only post clips, never the whole show.
(if you find a complete show on Yt it's from some other source and usually several years old)
I watched the entire thing myself though.
(didn't think to DL it)

For those that have already seen the first (3) episode(s): would you suggest any episodes that should be added to the pre-Picard watch lists? Based on the comments I've read here and elsewhere, I have added "The measure of a man", "The offspring" and "Inheritance" to mine. Any more suggestions based on having seen the actual episodes?
Midnight's Edge, Major Grin, Doomcock, Egostatic Funtime (JP), Meecah the purple-haired lady.
All the loony tunes have an account here

Don't forget 'Nemesis' because of its Romulus/Shinzon plot and the Data/Picard relationship.
Plus 'First Contact' due to the connection between Picard, Data, and the Borg Queen that might come handy later when we try to figure out Dahj's origins. BOBW was the Borg's invasion story and how Picard turned into Locutus that I think is also important, but 'First Contact' is also another pivotal event that might be important in the 'Picard' series later.
