Again, there is speculation that Q will appear in the final episode. Part of me hopes he doesn't though. The basic problem is you just know that if Q gets back in contact with PIcard he's not going to leave well enough alone - he's going to do something tell him that when he finally kicks the bucket he's going to come to the Q continuum or something. And it's going to take a lot of the tension out of the show as a result. Or even worse, just magic Data back into being.

I was thinking about this. The only acceptable Q fix ending really, if I were doing it, is to have Q switch Picard with Data on the Scimitar, after Picard requests it. That might just about work.
 
Just watched it again and you can see a model of the E in the vault just under the D in a few shots.

I saw that as well! I wonder if Picard will have any dreams that take place on the Enterprise-E, similar to the dream he had about the Enterprise-D.

What was funny about that Enterprise-D dream is that he and Data were wearing the First Contact uniforms in it.
 
but for the purpose of the show...it kinda does. To say the character's story in this new show doesn't start right there is a little bit like watching Batman Begins and saying, well Bruce Wayne as a character starts in Detective Comis No. 27

Nope. Because Picard is a continuation of an existing narrative, I.e the life of Picard. Batman Begins is another adaptation of an existing narrative in a different medium, and makes a point of being that (for example, not reusing any cast from previous adaptations, because it is not in continuity with those...the complete opposite of Picard, which has a returning cast from two different Treks.)

So no, not even for the purpose of this show.

This is more akin to Twin Peaks: The Return or series 10 and 11 of The X files. I do not think anyone would suggest any of the characters there start in episode one of their respective new series.
 
Eh. Michael has the Paris backstory, but I also think they were trying the whole "caught between two worlds" thing which made Spock/Worf/Seven so popular. It's just it didn't go over well - and the directors were pretty inconsistent with it in Season 1 - so they more or less abandoned the whole "bicultural" thing.

Yup. Though, to be fair, it gave some amazing haircuts to her.
 
The complete lack of mention of Lore is very jarring, especially as his body was in Starfleet custody and they'd have access to him to recreate androids. Also, strange that there's a general lack of security in Picard's vineyard, or even the middle of a city apparently. Especially someone like Picard who has made enemies all over the galaxy, you think he would have a lot more security at his vineyard that Dahj would feel relatively safe there and not feel like she was endangering Picard.

Starfleet would not have Lores body...he was not a member of Starfleet, and technically was part of a separately defined non-federation race, of which you could probably successfully argue Data was the sovereign/federation representative.
 
What do mean? I think it was a pretty good episode. Had Weyoun in it as well.

The whole scene with me fighting Seven is really cheesy IMO. I thought it was really cool when I first saw it way back then, but watching it nowadays makes me cringe.
 
So far not feeling the urge to find out what idiots on Youtube have to say about it. Also, not caring how it compares to Discovery. Which helps weed out a good half or more of the 30+ pages I've skimmed.

Index is basically a holographic Siri. Or Alexa. More Alexa because it mapped the interior of Picard's home. And Index doesn't mind being used as a walking reference guide.

Picard's fondness for AI lifeforms like Data doesn't seem to spill over into Archive assistants...I didn't hear any words of thanks for its help...
As one of the five people that watched that Nightflyers series it's kind of funny because her character on that could interface with the ship's computers and systems.
 
I thought that was wonderful. Patrick Stewart somehow found Picard again - for me it was the interview scene that really brought him back.

Still processing it all, but the synth plot is really engaging, and I thought Alison Pill was great in her brief Basil Exposition scene. Lots of nice bits for us old fans too.

Tea, Earl Grey, decaf.
 
I also thought the episode did a good job world building 24th century Earth as well. I read somewhere that they want to create a MCU-like universe with the new ST series/movies, and part of that is making the future feel like the future, instead of just a few corridors on a ship. Seeing 24th century Boston and Starfleet Archives is a good start.
