Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x03 - "The End is the Beginning"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
In the next show after Picard, if they want to explore early 25th century Starfleet, knock your self out: USS Verity-A, USS Voyager-B, USS Defiant-C, USS Derivative, USS Bozeman (with Kelsey Grammer still in command
).. etc. etc..Point of Picard is not to focus on Starfleet, so they will not be introducing any major new ships just as a minor character. If we see any at all, they will be old ships, slightly refit, but still recognizable.
There was no assumed reading for understanding the show. Picard drew about nine million viewers and the comic might have sold 50,000 issues. The comic was for people who had money to throw away, it gave no great insight to the characters.
To me the second season of Disco has been one of the top ten shows on TV, by the same standard. The pilot of Picard was excellent, I agree next two episodes were too short, but don’t assume because you don’t like it everyone else is lowering their standards.

Ah yes the old "wearing of the dress" ploy.
I personally am a fan of the always cunning "Stick pencils up your nose and speak gibberish" ploy myself.
Laris being Tal Shiar literally comes out of nowhere if you didn’t read the comic.

Its still AI and could easily be downloaded into a host body.
Its all getting a bit BSG isnt it.
And? Do you think her being the Tal Shiar blew people's minds if they hadn't read the comic? I don't think it did.
No reason was given for why Rafi was getting discharged just because Picard resigned, and she didn’t say “I’m being court martialed”, she said “Fired”.
Like I said before, I don't think originality was their top goal. But at least they are stealing from someplace other than Star Trek.

We should see Q at least once before the end of the series, especially if Picard doesnt make it to the end alive.
I didn’t read the comic until last week, and it was sure as hell confusing.
Plus it was super early in the series, not something out of left field 2 seasons in.
I was more confused WHY Picard had two highly trained intelligence agents as domestic workers in his villa, until last night's episode where it became clear they were actually his bodyguards.

I read it and saw about the Tal Shiar which actually made sense as Picard tried to save them and not all of them are nutcases.
I nearly shat the bed when I saw the Odyssey class USS Verity, was not expecting that in the comic, canon or not.
If I were to list all the shows on TV in the last two years I thought were better than the two Trek shows, I wouldn’t get much farther than Better Call Saul, Succession, Westworld, Good Place, Stranger Things, GoT, OitNB and certain comedy news shows. And three of those just ended.
And that’s by the same standard I judge everything else.

No. What is on screen is canon, what is not, is not. The end.
Why is this so important? Is this the only way a story has value now?
Canon until it isn't = not canon.
