Does Narek wear a universal translator in his right ear? There's a green object in or on his right ear in the premiere episode.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x02 - "Maps and Legends"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Maybe it keeps her from activating during sex?
It's either a universal translator or a wound of some kind. 
I made the mistake of reading the comments. Made me remember how much i hate some elements of the fandom.
Nah, it's the creme de la creme of the swears, it's why it's the only one that is a "bomb". And putting stubborn old coots in their place is an acceptable usage.
Besides just how often has Picard said fuck in thousands of memes?

Connects to his music. He likes listening to classic Romulan Thrash Metal

Acid spray optional.
It doesn't fit. In Into Darkness the Klingons are an unknown threat, in Disco they've just had a massive war.Just assume its on JJ/Kelvin-verse and you'll enjoy it more.
Although the Kelvin movies have had a HUGE influence on the look and feel of Discovery (and Picard with it's supernova backstory and Romulans), they're not the same continuity.
Wow, I love Jammer's reviews. And he nailed it with this episode.
I find I still mostly* agree with him. This was absolutely a 2.5 star episode – a lot of good scenes, but no overall cohesion or narrative drive. It's table setting for what will hopefully be real stories down the line.
*I would give Remembrance 3.5 instead of the 3 he gives it, but he's right that the pilot was a stronger episode than this one.
Mostly, but not quite the same. The upper corners of the bars in the back were removed, the slit was moved to the right as in Disco, and the arrow is a bit more curvy and less straight. Still a nice hommage to AGT, Visitor, Timeless, and Endgame.
I was just looking at the Star Maps put out years ago for Trek and I am very pleased that Trek doesn't take it's science too seriously.
One of the points this show hasn't yet made, is that on a true Super Nova not only would a star system need to be evacuated, but surrounding star systems with in so many light years would also eventually be made uninhabitable by the radiation. I have read you want at least 25 light years distance. And also read 50 would be even better.
A 50 light year radius from Romulus would eventually harm about 1/6 of the Federation, and half of the Romulan Empire. At 25 light years about 1/5 or 1/4th or so of the Romulan Empire would be toast, and maybe a 20th of the Federation.
So lets just assume for science sake that not only was Romulus needing to be evacuated, but also massive relocation had to occur on multiple star system in both Federation and Romulan space.
Now one would allow a lot more time (years to handle), but it would be the constant use of resources. Now we have a fleet being built 10,000 strong to ferry 900,000,000 (which after the initial planet evacuation could be used for those systems that would get hit later). So these ships would be working pretty much non stop for years on end.
What do we know of Starfleet's forces. At the largest buildup that we have any information on we have one fleet of over 600 ships (we don't know if this includes the warp capable fighters we see both leave the starbase area and arrive to fight the Dominion, or if its only counting larger vessels). We do know that the Federation had at least 10 fleets set up during the Dominion war, we also know this included both fleets of ships at the front line and deep inside Federation space. Based on this at the kit bashed nature of those ships, I would assume that Starfleet might have 10,000 fleet of ships that are combat capable (again we don't know if this includes the fighters).
We know almost nothing about the size or status of private or government owned ships outside of Starfleet. Though we do know they exist.
If the evacuation fleet is utterly destroyed. Starfleet under orders from the Federation council could muster a massive fleet, they probably wouldn't be able to carry as many people altogether, but they would be able to get the job done.
There is a huge significant issue with this. Moving Starfleet's full compliments of ships would leave literally every part of the Federation vulnerable to not only naturally occurring threats, vulnerable to criminals and pirates, but more importantly vulnerable to any external security threats. Enough so that any small force of alien craft could inflict heavy and severe damage to any point in the Federation most likely before forces could be dispatched to stop them. And again this, if helping the Romulans as well as any Federation worlds impacted, would take years.
Now of course that leaves any private or Government owned ships to help. Here we simply just have no information about the scale or size of these ships. How fast can private or business ships travel? How many mass transport ships does the Federation have for its normal citizens (and again how fast are they).
Now this here also leaves a problem. How is the average Federation citizens going to respond when they discover that most off world travel is going to have to stop so that these ships can work for years moving survivors. If they use merchant ships, how is this going to impact the transport of goods and services to worlds, and what type of delays is that going to cause. And we know they still use transport ships thanks to Captain Yates.
Now one problem is truly worrisome. The reassigning Starfleet patrol ships to longterm ferry duty. That is a massive, massive security threat. Think of all those times you're the only ship in the sector, now imagine how long it's going to take when all those ships are maybe 50 to 150 light years away.
The other is a matter of people losing freedom of movement and a lot of the luxury that I assume many in the Federation take for granted.
Now I think most in the Federation would understand this for working to help its own worlds impacted, they might not be willing for worlds outside the Federation that have a long history of being hostile to them.
And I can certainly understand the worlds on outer portions of the Federation that would be the most impacted by either of these options threatening to leave over such a major change.

Frankly it all depends on your personal experience. There are people who will forever have difficulty attracting a sexual partner, and then there are people that for almost their entire life can hook up all the time. Just like there are some people who are better at finding a long term partner, then a casual hookup, and people who are great at casual hookup who have a terrible time finding a long term partner, and of course every combination in-between. I know that if I wanted even in my 50's I could meet and hook up with some one, today. As for the MeToo movement, well here is some easy advise that helps with the vast majority of situations. Don't hook up when you or the other person is drinking or using drugs. Make sure its not someone who feels you are in a position of power over (ie don't hook up with people you work with, or who interact with your job), make sure the other person is on the same page with you. If this is something you aren't great at, then once you've made contact, let the other person be in the driver's seat, so that they are the ones to initiate anything, putting you in the position to say no, if anything crosses the line. And just to let you know, this is what I was told when I was 18 back in 1985 in a terribly uncomfortable conversation with my Dad. The rule about drinking and drugs wasn't so much about consent at that time, but was so I wouldn't be careless about protection thanks to HIV.
As for how common it is, it might be a lot more common than you think. Technology has certainly made it easier, as there are apps on phones that will literally ping the people near you who are interested in just hooking up.
As for Trek, well even going back to the 60's we had Kirk putting his shoes on in episode, which was to imply he just had relations with an "alien" guest star of the week. In Star Trek Beyond in the opener, we see what looks like a pretty sudden pull my into your quarters scene, and a I am throwing you out of my quarters before your clothes are even on, which both imply fairly casual attitudes to sex. And we certainly have seen characters on TNG and DS9 imply fairly quick sexual interaction in the span of an episode. How long did it take Harry from having sex in Disease, after he meet the women? In Into Darkness Kirk is frolicking around with two women, I assume he isn't polyamorous, and this was a hook up, not a relationship with multiple partners. Heck on TNG we saw a younger crewman enjoying time with Troi (when she was under the influence, but he wasn't). In Conundrum when everyone has lost their memories, it is strongly implied that Riker and Ro hooked up almost immediately. So Trek certainly as hinted that this does happen.
Oh and just to point out we actually don't know how long it was from when they meet to when they hooked up. It could have been that night, it could be days. We can't assume just because we see time flow at a certain pace on Earth with Picard, that a similar time span is happening with the Romulans. Clearly that's the case because we see two scenes with Picard intercutting when they appear at different times, in different locations.
Memory Beta lists Greyhorse and Ailat as CMOs, Moritz Benayoun was never mentioned before.
I can only think of CONTROL
