Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

After "Q Who?" and "Deja Q", you would've thought there would've been more between Q and Guinan in TNG. Since Guinan will be in the second season, if Q shows you, they'll have a second chance. That would be fun to see.
I think that the Federation is in decline during Picard.
During the Dominion War, we saw Changelings infiltrate Starfleet to rather devastating effects. Now, in Picard we see Romulans, at top levels of Starfleet intelligence, then betray the Federation.
Could it be possible that the Changelings and Romulans, knowing what they know about the Federation and the inner workings of Starfleet, have actually been setting the stage for the total defeat of Starfleet and the capture of the Federation?
Was the Dominion War and all of the losses suffered by the Cardassians, Romulans, Dominion and others involved who had been the enemies of the Federation in the past, simply have been a ruse to lull Starfleet and the Federation into thinking it was the dominant force in the entire galaxy only to pounce on Starfleet later on under the guise of being subjugated?

A long and devastating war will do that. Followed by more and more battles.
The Dominion War was the most devastating conflict in the known history of the Alpha Quadrant. The Cardassians were reduced to a shell of their former self, the Klingon Empire was severely reduced in strength and other regional powers were either severely hobbled or decimated. The Federation lost a lot of starships and lives and who knows how many resources.
I can easily buy that the Federation is still in a rebuilding phase in 2399 and 2400.

Marina Sirtis is moving back to the UK, so with all the travel restrictions right now, I suppose that means we definitely won't see her in s2. Not that it was very likely anyway.
It was very human, the very thing Data always wanted.
And then the Hobus star blew up and ravaged the Romulan empire. Not much was left intact by the end of the century. But I like that; like a more relatable version of DSC's 32nd century.
The Federation had to end at least one of its first few centuries of existence on a down note. The 24th century makes just as much sense as any up to that point.
Gene's utopian vision of Trek was answered by Sisko during a DS9 episode. Everything on Earth is utopian, no crime, no war, nothing, while the rest of the galaxy claws at itself and tries to survive.
Maybe Sisko will show up in Picard to further explain what he meant just as the Romulans attack and....

He said it was paradise, not utopian.

Interesting, although it seems like he published a rough draft. At one point he talks about a population of 32 million, and at another, 20 million living in Stardust City, and 120 million outside.
This also seems wrong:
I don't know how a planet is supposed to be temperate at the tropics, while also being hot at the equator, and warmer than Earth overall.
Air, water flow and landmass shape can effect the climate
There was an example I read a while back, I don’t remember the exact details, but if you changed North America a certain way, the UK and Northern Europe would be just as cold as Russia because of the water current.

Yeah, I saw a video about that point some time ago. If you removed the isthmus of Panama and connected the two oceans, you'd get rid of/significantly weaken the Gulf Stream -- which is most of why western Europe and the Mediterranean are so lush today.
Will season 2 indeed start filming tomorrow?
She replied to my question on Twitter today: "No. But soon."
On Jeri Ryan's twitter page she had someone asked her which she enjoyed playing 7of Nine the most on Voyager or Picard best and she said Picard. Because she liked showing Seven had emotions and wanted to see more of her characters story explored in season 2. She says she hopes can tell fans soon when filming season will begin she doesn't know right now.
as do i at this point I'd rather have her show than picard to be honest
