Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

Pretty sure........they've been with him 15 years?

And? If Picard was seen as someone that important, it might behoove a foreign intelligence to get as close to him as possible.

Though my hope is that they are good guys.
 
Memory-Alpha is saying that the show takes place in 2397, because of the '10 year anniversary' line about the supernova.

So based off how STO did their rank pips, this women is a Rear Admiral

So the date thing is correct. That’s good. I need more clarification on the nova though.
 
Today, a lot of co-workers got Earl-Grey tea in the office, I've heard.

[2] https://www.metacritic.com/browse/tv/release-date/new-series/userscore

Picard is in the top-ten newly released TV shows on [2] Metacritic's (based on premiere/prescreens) and in the [2] top-ten of user scores.

I'm grinning about the fact that the 4chan/8chan'ista haven't called their Discord channels to downvote the show, yet. Maybe by the weekend. They've done this consistently since 2016 on Disco, Doctor Who, and such.

Just like that character-assassination interview ...
 
From what people here always tell me. The comics aren’t canon.

This current Trek production team have stated that any other media content, associated with the new generation of shows, is essentially canon until its not. They were saying this back in the day of Discovery season one, so I’m holding them to it. It’s why Beyer oversees that whole side of things, in fact.
 
And Kurtzman wrote the previous countdown comic, which is now nothing.

Doesn't mean it's nothing. If it's a good story, it didn't stop being a good story just because it isn't "canon" anymore.

Did you enjoy reading it back in the day? Have you lost that experience?

I confess this is one of my hobby-horses when it comes to comics in general. I'm puzzled by readers who insist that some favorite old story is theirs is somehow ruined because it fell out of continuity at some point, or who complain that they wasted their time and money because certain storylines don't "count" anymore.

Me, I'm always: "Has the art changed? Have the words been rewritten? Have you retroactively lost the experience of enjoying it in the past? Can you never enjoy it again?"

A good comic book is never "nothing" as long as people enjoyed reading it, regardless if we're talking about STAR TREK or an old Silver Age BATMAN comic.

Countdown was my head canon for ages. Except for those awful Starfleet uniforms. Dang, those could have made Geordi wince even without the implants.
