Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

You mean about giving Nemesis a do-over?

Not the whole movie. Just Data’s death. And I will admit that it was a more powerful and moving ‘true’ end for the character rather than the ending he got in that movie. But it doesn’t change my feeling that this was the true plot of PIC season 1.

Yes, Mr Plinkett is coming for Star Trek: Picard! This is, I think, the eighteenth proper Plinkett review overall in twelve years, but the first one which is for a series rather than a film.
 
Okay. I know he doesn't like it. I don't even need to click on it to know. That's a given. But by how much?

Does he think it's....
A) "Not the worst, but it still sucks!"
B) "Worse than Nemesis!"
C) "Worse than STD!"
D) "The worst! Bring back Rick Berman!"

And how many times does he reference Logan or the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy?
A) Not at all (yeah right, who am I kidding?)
B) A few times
C) A lot
D) Feels like every other sentence
 
The Picard series ships and the Discovery ships are nothing alike, the Disco and Picard ships look appropriate to their respective era's, whatever my issues may be with the original Disco Klingon ships I never had a problem with the Starfleet ones.

Sounds to me like Bernd is just having a dig at Picard, Discovery or both.

It’s only a dig towards Discovery.

He considers Discovery to be a reboot so he put those ships in their own section, he doesn't consider Picard a reboot, so he put those ships with all the other TOS to ENT Trek ships.
 
Frankly if you ignore the dodgy, rescaled sizes of the DSC Era ships(especially the Enterprise) you can still fit them into the TOS Era/Prime Timeline ships and just say: "Hey, Starfleet shipbuilding aesthetics went through a bronze hull phase with pointy, jagged warp nacelles between about 2245 and 2265 and that era largely stopped by the time TOS rolled around." I don't see how that's any more of a stretch than what EAS is doing with the ships and at least my reasoning makes at least some sense in-universe and their excuse is that they don't buy the Prime Timeline statements by CBS.

Honestly I don't need much to rationalize it either. I see no reason for a uniform aesthetic in the Federation with so many members.
