Spoilers Season 2 Trailers, Previews, and Promos
- Thread starter KennyB
- Start date
You can see the Tellarite and UFP flag behind her from one of the wide shots from the June 2021 trailer, which came out before they filmed the season finale.
I'm still wondering if this shot is meant to indicate that Qo'noS, Bajor, and Ferenginar have joined the Federation by 2399.
Picard without Starfleet - Starfleet without Picard. It doesn't sound good. Picard is a moral guide of Starfleet and Starfleet gives him a meaning. The whole idea of Picard as a civilian and some motley crew was more like:
It could only work for 2-episodes story, but not as whole series. Star Trek is Starfleet.
I thoroughly disagree. The idea of an entire society spanning over 150 planets means that the Federation has to be bigger than just one career path. I think Star Trek can encompass more than just Starfleet, and that the franchise not having the creative freedom to have a show that explores the non-Starfleet side of things would be weirdly militaristic. I really liked that PIC S1 was not a Starfleet show and I hope S2 doesn't just revert back to Starfleetism.
To me that's like saying you can only watch a show about England during the Crusades, and a show about England during WW2 is too far into the future and too abstract. I'm invested in the entirety of Federation history, including the 32nd Century.
"Present day?" There really isn't a such thing as "present day" for the Star Trek franchise anymore. PIC is set circa 2399. DIS is set 3190. LD is set 2380. PRO is set 2384. SNW will be set some time in either the 2250s or 2260s. No one show's "present day" is the authoritative "present day" for the franchise as a whole, anymore than TNG's or the TOS movies' "present days" were more authoritative than one-another when TNG and the last two TOS movies were both in production.
If you mean "present-day" as in, the year the shows would be set in if production had continued on a TNG-era show set after VOY ended progressing one year per season beginning the year after VOY's final season was set.... then PIC S1 jumped the gun a little bit. Coming out in the second half of the 2019-2020 season, it should have been set in 2396, not 2399.
I'm not. PIC S1 made it clear that Starfleet had been infiltrated and manipulated, and that the Federation had realized their mistakes and begun the reform process.
I don't want to burst any bubbles here but trailers are often misleading on purpose. Who says these Starfleet uniform scenes aren't part of a dream sequence or something like that? Or another "road not taken"? Just because season 3 seems to be taking place aboard a Starfleet ship doesn't mean everyone suddenly re-joins Starfleet in season 2. /please don't throw things at me now I know how much a lot of people want for this show to turn into a Starfleet show
That's it. That's what I'm trying to say. Thanks
I loved Star Trek the Animated series as a kid. While TOS was syndicated evenings, Animated was on Sat. mornings, (always took it with a grain of salt as the 4th Season of TOS)
Lower Decks (for me) is unwatchable. it's the worst kind of fan insertion, (writers: what if we the most screechy annoying fans were in Star Trek look at us! isn't this great!). Maybe if it was funny but they seem to think just cause they're yelling everything, that makes it automatically funny. It's awful.
I haven't watched Prodigy yet. Is it set in the same time line as Picard?
Could Picard and the Crew of La Sirena show up there? I'd love to see them animated.

No, it's 16 years before, give or take
Elnor's cadet uniform reminds of the Chris Pine wore in the 2009 Star Trek Movie. The actor who played Gaius Baltar in the new Battle Star Galactica from the the sy fy channel will be in Picard season 2 episode2 it was posted on the Picard IMDB.com Picard page.
You can't always trust IMDb, anyone can edit it.
Though there has been a handful of correct actors put on New Trek show pages before airing the last few years.
I'm looking at the page now, he isn't there.

Doing a little digging, Josh Fried, a stunt actor, is listed for Picard Season 2, credited as the stunt double for James Callis (Gaius Baltar).
If it turns out to be legit, I’d guess that the stunt actor could have put himself in the listing on IMDb, and when someone else saw it added Callis himself, and IMDb editors removed it because his casting is still uncomfirmed/hasn’t been officially announced.
Or, like a lot of IMDb stuff, it could end up just false. As @Tuskin38 said, IMDb is open to edit by anyone, and though it doesn’t tend to stay up long once a project is released, misinformation does get added fairly frequently.

I wanted to say the Julian Bashir thing, but I was too slow.
Maybe we can finally see him and Alexander Siddig on screen in the same scene. Assuming they're not the same person.

Trying to imagine him bald as a Stargazer-era Picard
But Jean-Luc wasn’t bald when he commanded the Stargazer
That's no guarantee they're different people. Tatiana Maslany was on screen two to four times in the same scene and she definitely is the same person.
Long time reader, first time poster... Sharing new screenshots of the trailer from Downunder for the rest of those who can't see it.

Oh, of course it's Evil Picard's skull! I was wondering why Picard had it. Also I think this might be the first proof that Cardassian ridges are part of their skull.
