Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x02 - "Maps and Legends"

[Gonzo]

Something I haven't seen anybody mention is that they finally nailed down the dates onscreen. They were the expected dates, but there had been a lot of second-guessing on this.


That's what turbolifts are for.


Chateau Picard producing red wines goes back to TNG.

So it is 2399 and he is 94 that year then.

Nice to have that confirmed, one less thing to trigger pointless arguments about.

 

[The Old Mixer]

^ Did they state his age onscreen yet?

Not that I've caught.

 

[Tuskin38]

Oh look at that, the flash back to mars said “14 years ago” to 2385. So that confirms it, the show is in 2399

 

[cooleddie74]

^ Did they state his age onscreen yet? Canon puts Picard as being born in 2305, which means he's 94 here if it's 2399. I've heard both "90" and "92" from people connected to the show.

He was born in 2305, making him 94 in Season 1. It's canon.

I guess the prequel comics are a must-read if I want details. I want to know when he finally became an Admiral, what rank admiral he was when he retired, all that stuff. Hopefully they will show some of it through flashback though.

 

[Mygia]

Some thoughts:

• It's been a decade since I traveled in Eastern France, but I am sure that Picard would probably make white wines.

Assuming that La Barre is located in Burgundy I'm pretty sure Chateau Picard makes some excellent Pinot Noir.

Starfleet Command has always been full of haughty jackasses but the brass in 2399 is just cold-blooded.

He's already a full admiral (4 pips) in the comics

I believe it is in Franche Comté, which does produce some reds, but is better known for its whites and its "yellows."

Not surprised after the Dominion War, attack on Mars and the unnatural Supernova.

Is Sol next?

Comics won't tell you any of that.

The Dominion War changed the whole Alpha Quadrant, and not for the better. I hope that tulaberry wine idea was worth the trouble, Quark.

Damn. Nemesis was 2380. So in just 7 years he rose to 4-star admiral after being a captain for decades.

Before that all the wars were what you would call local.

It was the first Intergalactic War, where it was a case of Alpha/Beta vs Gamma.

The wars are only going to get bigger, this is my one bugbear with STO timeline, that the Romulans, Klingons and Federation would be stupid enough to be at each others throats knowing that there are other Empires/Federations/Dominions out there that easily rival the entire Alpha/Beta quadrants and they will not be friendly.

Its not really believable, hence why I believe someone triggered the Star to put the brakes on the Alpha/Beta alliance.

 

[cooleddie74]

"The Dominion? What's the Dominion?"

And things went downhill after that.

 

[Gonzo]

Damn. Nemesis was 2380. So in just 7 years he rose to 4-star admiral after being a captain for decades.

Being the Captain of the flagship for so long pretty much guaranteed him a spot on the fast track to full Admiral.

Especially as he was a Captain for such a long time.

And offered a promotion in season 1 already

 

[Demosthenes]

Hey, Kirk went from cadet to Captain in one mission in 09...

 

[Gonzo]

Yeah he could probably have become an Admiral much sooner just like Kirk but he didnt want it yet.

 

[Gonzo]

I thought it was Lieutenant to Captain, mind you after saving the Earth from suffering the same fate as Vulcan they could hardly undo it.
