Spoilers Where's _____ In Episode 2?

[Indysolo]

What happened to Number 1 in the second episode. The dog isn't around this time and he's a key part of the marketing. Picard's faithful companion just disappeared. He's not around to bark when the Stargazer doctor shows up and he's not around when the Daystrom scientist has tea. Picard decides to go back into space and doesn't seem to even think about his dog. When he tells the Tal Shiar guy he has to stay behind to handle the harvest, Picard doesn't say, "and also take good care of Number 1."

They'll have to make a Short Trek to explain Number 1's disappearance from this episode.

Maybe in the Q Continuum...

Hey, I know that this isn't a big deal of a spoiler but could we not put spoilers in thread titles even if they are marked spoiler? Thanks to the weird time that the episodes go up a ton of Americans and Canadians can't watch the episodes until many hours after they go up.

Number One was taking a number two during the filming of this episode.

Took the name out of the title............but seriously. He was probably chasing butterflies out in the vineyard........Get used to it because I don't think he'll be going off world.

Man! I was hoping they were going to change the title to Admiral Picard and Space Pup: A Star Trek Story for season two.

Why would Picard abandon his loving companion? He was so important in episode 1.

And the rest of the world doesn't get the episodes for a full 24 hours after the US...

IIRC, it was mentioned in an interview somewhere that the dog that plays Number One is not the most well trained of canine actors, so they had to scale back on his scenes somewhat.

Yeah but did Picard take Barker's barking and had his dog spayed or neutered? The woods are fun for things other than a number two...

He was in.............3 scenes?

Picard trusted Dahj because of Number 1's approval. Otherwise maybe Picard would have called the police when a stranger showed up on his property and confessed to killing people and having a vision Picard. Without Number 1, the series could have been very different.

I didn’t even notice. Shows you how much I care about that stupid dog.

That's probably what they're hoping. I refuse to have Number 1 turned into Chuck Cunningham!

Lone Admiral and Pup

Well Happy Days WAS a huge failure without Chuck...............

 

[Awesome Possum]

He was doing dog things.

Here you go:

In Wil Wheaton’s The Ready Room, a recap show that follows up Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access, he spoke with director Hanelle Culpepper and executive producer Michael Chabon about Number One, who’s real name is Dinero. They talked about the sweet pup in the recap following Episode 1, and their comments provide a hint about why we might not have seen Number One in Episode 2.

Culpepper said during The Ready Room: “Dinero is very green,” she said, referring to Dinero’s not being a seasoned, experienced acting dog.

“They say don’t work with … green animals,” she said. “Dinero was a challenge sometimes, but super, super sweet … There were a few more scenes that were supposed to have Number One that we both agreed, ‘Let’s leave the dog out of that one.'”

Chabon agreed. “He was the sweetest dog…,” he said. “He (Dinero) was not a great actor… We got a good performance out of him.”

So they didn’t have Dinero in all the scenes they originally intended, because he was very sweet but also very inexperienced.

The Romulans ate him.
Picard is going to have a fit when he finds out. "The line must be drawn hee-uh!"
