Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x01 - "The Star Gazer"

[Amaris]

Well, the Virginia Navy would be the most likely to have the pedigree and firepower to come to the forefront.

Sir, the Ohio navy would like to have a word with you, but first I need help getting this dinghy off those cinder blocks.

 

[GNDN18]

I wish they kept Q a surprise. I know they needed something to get people interested in season 2 but showing us the ships and the Starfleet stuff would have been enough

Not me. After that disastrous finale, DeLancie was about the only thing that interested me about the second season.

You think you can defeat the southern Ontario coastline. Well, you can't. That'll teach you Buckeyes!

 

[fireproof78]

doesn't care that Picard is a Synth,

Doesn't care.

Not me. After that disastrous finale, DeLancie was about the only thing that interested me about the second season.

Which is pretty much what I expected based upon the reaction for those who did not enjoy the season. So, deLancie was basically the production team promising this is real Trek.

 

[WarpFactorZ]

Speak for yourself. This fan enjoyed that, and I also know many others who did.

Well, this fan enjoyed it for one season, but I'm happy that it's not continuing (even though it actually is in the Fascist timeline).

 

[StarMan]

I feel like they could if they tried. Just go all Disney with it.

They obviously chose to include Q in the promotion from the outset. But yeah, if they had kept De Lancie a secret, I would've jumped out of my chair like one of those OTT YoutTube reactioners at "mon capitane".

 

[PumpkinSpiceFoodCube]

If Synths have gotten their rights back, what does it mean for Holograms?

 

[GhoulEddie74]

All those EMH Mark 1s toiling away in mining facilities need their rights.

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

Just watched the Ready Room interview with Sir Patrick.

Is it just me, or is Will's gushing just a tad ott? (Not just this time around, but generally.)

Funny, just the other day, discussing this episode, I said: "Maybe this time around, we'll find out where the name Ten Forward comes from!"

And according to SPS, we will.

 

[The Old Mixer]

I didn't think the name needed further explanation...it was on the forward edge of deck 10.

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

I always thought there might be more to it. Particularly now that Guinan made sure she got the address for her new bar...

 

[Romulan_spy]

Is it just me, or is Will's gushing just a tad ott? (Not just this time around, but generally.)

Definitely. It's way over the top. I get that he is a huge fan and loves the TNG crew from his time on the show. But he over does it. He is like that "annoying fan" stereotype.

 

[The Old Mixer]

His "geek squeak" was definitely full volume in this one.

 

[Amaris]

You think you can defeat the southern Ontario coastline. Well, you can't. That'll teach you Buckeyes!

The foolish Canadians won't know what hit them when I row ashore somewhere along the Eastern seaboard because I got lost and slowly drifted out to sea.

 

[Tosk]

Is it just me, or is Will's gushing just a tad ott?

It's not just you. His style feels very performative to me. And I do mean that in a pejorative way.

 

[Crewman6]

Well, the show remains terrible.

Hilarious that there were actually TWO different scenes that provided explanations as to why "ageless" characters had obviously aged considerably since their last appearance. Maybe they could have punted Guinan an episode (since her cameo was clearly just crammed in there with no real relation to anything) just to spread those out a bit? Downright laughable.

 

[Crewman6]

I didn't think the name needed further explanation...it was on the forward edge of deck 10.

Uh, yeah. It was never a mystery, there was never a hidden significance. It was literally its location in the ship. "Deck 10, forward."

Is Kurtzman & Co. gonna stupidly and needlessly retcon another piece of Trek history?

 

[Charles Phipps]

I like the Borg's new design even if I'm 100% sure the special effects people have been playing Destiny: The Taken King.

Just watched the Ready Room interview with Sir Patrick.

Is it just me, or is Will's gushing just a tad ott? (Not just this time around, but generally.)

I mean, Will has been pretty clear that with his abusive family that Patrick Stewart is the man he considers his real dad so I'm willing to give him a pass on that.

I'm not even exaggerating.

 

[KennyB]

They didn't need an explanation, but after all the crying about Data last year.............

 

[The Rock]

BTW, that Sovereign-class ship we saw as part of the fleet near the end of the episode...........was that the Enterprise-E perhaps, still in service after all of these years? And could one of the TNG crew members like Admiral Worf or Admiral Geordi be her captain by any chance?
