Spoilers Season 2 Trailers, Previews, and Promos

Does anyone think that Picard will meet Guinan for the first time (from her perspective) in the past?

Just occurred to me. Sorry if it’s been mentioned. I’m super sleepy.

No, because he already met her in the 19th century

since they'd have to explain how she got young-looking again by the 24th century.

They could, or they could ignore it like they did with Koloth + Kang's ridges. Maybe the ElAurian lifecycle has physical appearance vary, sometimes you look older, sometimes you look younger.
 
if the ship that gives the class its name is completely altered, wouldn't that alter the whole class as well?
Isn't that what I said happened, at least according to the non-canon sources? That the entire Nova class line got refitted into combat ships after the disappearance of the Equinox due to imminent war with the Dominion. That includes the USS Nova and all other ships already in service. Any built afterwards is anyone's guess.

Regardless we're arguing over semantics at this point. We know a combat variant of the Nova class exists, in one alternate timeline in the very least. Therefore, there's nothing unusual about seeing such a Nova class in the alternate timeline we'll be seeing on Picard either.
 
The shot with the "Greater LA" plaque is in the alt 24th century, he's got black jacket on when they show it (matching the jacket when he's inside with the Andorian).

maybe the change in the timeline was caused by zhat vash going back in time to give Cochrane the Admonition before 2047 and this somehow led to the quake not wiping out LA.

Or maybe central LA was spared and it was just Santa Monica that slipped into the ocean.

Downtown LA is a fair distance from the coast (about 25 km), and even further from Hermosa Beach (presumably the epicentre of the quake). It's doubtful there would be any ocean water incursion that far. Anyway, that was a long time ago, vis-a-vis the era of Picard. I'm sure there are no traces left of the quake.

no canon source says the nova class ever was a combat class.
in one non-prime timeline, a nova variant was able to fight the negh'var class that was ~30 years old then.
who ever said it's unusual to see a nova in the 'dark' pic s2 timeline? no one.
end of story...? :shrug:

JANEWAY: Have you ever been to southern California, Chakotay?
CHAKOTAY: No.
JANEWAY: After the Hermosa quake in 2047 this entire region sank under two hundred metres of water. It became one of the world's largest coral reefs, home to thousands of different marine species.
