Spoilers Picard 1x1, "Remembrance"

[Saul]

Damn he's got a point. I hate seeing frail Picard. Right now he can't even be the Arbiter of Stairs, let alone Succession. Hate that.

Same. It's not a complaint. It's just that the last time I saw him he was running around kicking ass on a Reman ship. Now when I see him run or get blown up I worry.
Actually I felt Stewart was playing Picard as more frail than he actually would be. Maybe as his adventure progresses we will see him a bit more fit.

Didn't they imply somehow that the synth attack on Mars was specifically in opposition to the plan to aid Romulus? I can't remember, but I thought that was part of it...which indirectly made Picard, the architect of the rescue plan, responsible.

Did I imagine that?

No but the timing is suspicious.

No such thing as a coincidence and all that.

Is there any indication that Maddox knows of the existence of Lore?

He probably does as he would know whats in the reports and Lore is most definitely in them.

Riker mentions Lore during Data's trial in "MOAM", so yeah, Maddox knows who Lore is.

The youngest captain in Starfleet and an old dude on his second command?

Nitpick: I don't believe the "youngest captain in Starfleet" thing was ever established onscreen. I think that's mostly fanon.

 

[Crewman6]

9/10 for me, why did they not deage Spiner's face as Data's, I found that a little off putting.

In an interview, Spiner said they could only afford to "partially" de-age him. Spiner said "just de-age me to how I looked in Nemesis" and that's what they tried to do.

Well, Kelvin Kirk probably is, as he's made captain on the same day he graduates the Academy!!!

canonically, Tryla Scott "made captain" faster than anyone in history, but that doesn't necessarily mean she was the youngest, just fasted in terms of turnaround time from graduation to captaincy.

How can anyone see the stars there through all that light pollution?

Nice catch though! Is there a comprehensive list of Easter Eggs published yet?

One of the choices they made here was very subtle, and really paid off, and that was showing Picard tired and out of breath as he and Dahj run from the assassins. It shows that Picard is not a superhero any longer, and he has vulnerabilities like any older human would have. It also was wise in terms of just quietly telling the audience "yes, ~20 years have gone by, and yes...we know and respect that."

Aging in Star Trek is weird. We've seen humans live into their 130s and 140s. Is that the norm now, or is that exceptional and maybe 120 is the average? Do humans stay in their prime longer (was it implied that Picard, being in his 60s in TNG, was still in his prime?) and then start to "feel old" in their 80s?

This is one of the few times we really get to see future Earth in any detail. Even previous visits were mainly to Starfleet Command or isolated locales like the Picard vineyard or Sisko's restaurant.

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.

Picard was not wearing a uniform in that scene.

It was a dream sequence, so I didn't really see the issue with Data not looking quite right. Rather they spend the money elsewhere.

It could be Picard just has been slacking off on exercise, and thus not necessarily an indicator of 24th/25th century aging.

I didnt bother checking up on the exact possibilities but I felt it more likely that he would know than not.

It also depends on how much more we will see of him, which could be very little or a lot depending on the plot and just how persuasive Patrick Stewart was.

With CBS All Access being a thing I wish we could get more shows (or at least shorts) set in Star Trek in more genres, not just dramas. A travel show, a history show, etc. Show us more of the world galaxy of the 24th/25th century.

Admiral JP Hanson would be rolling over in his grave at seeing Picard, even in old age, struggling to run in a fight. (in the real world we have marathon runners in their 90s)

Admrial Hanson: Lieutenant a few years ago, I watched a freshman cadet pass four upper classman on the last hill of the forty kilometre run on Danula Two. The damndest thing I ever saw. The only freshman to ever win the Academy marathon. I made it my business to get to know that young fellow. I got to know him very, very well. And I'll tell you something. I never met anyone with more drive, determination or more courage than Jean-Luc Picard.

Does anyone think they'll de-age DeForest Kelley from his "Encounter at Farpoint"?

based on not much, my theory is that 110s are pretty standard, but certainly older is possible and not uncommon. McCoy was a bit of an outlier and was treated as such, as a frail and very old man.

60-something Joseph Sisko said he was planning on celebrating "50 more birthdays."

However, like today, even though life expectancy is extending, aging isn't really slowing. While 60 definitely is seen as "younger" than it used to be, by the time people are in their 80s, they're definitely considered old.

Picard in his 90s wouldn't completely be put out to pasture, but once you're around 100 more, even if you life forty more years, you're still "old."
