2024.. All Biden! Even if Trump wins then not him til 2025
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x03 - "Assimilation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
With Rios in the hospital I was reminded of Chekov in TVH..
Not to play Moderator, but those politically charged statements have no place here and considering this isn't "our" 2024 it's quite a leap to think Biden is the President, that Trump was President or is even a thing.

Maybe. In the Litverse Timeline there is only one Janeway. The other Janeway has been killed in the other timelines. Let's hope someone travelled back to prevent Trump's birth....
No, since the only change in the timeline occurred in 2024. The presidential election of 2020 would not be affected by that.
That said, it's really not possible to nail down which President was responsible for the creation of the Sanctuary Districts. It could have taken months or years for the concept to work its way through the government. So it could have been almost any President.
Also, I see no particular reason to assume that the presidential line of succession is any different here than in our world. This isn't The West Wing, after all.
Cross posting the following from my response on the new DISC finale thread as it applies here to:
The last three weeks of watching each back to back has made something clear to me, DISC is TOS flavored and PICD is TNG flavored but both are modern takes the classics. It is amazing how the DNA of the respective parent shows are present and accounted for.
As for Assimilation, it felt like every time travel story in the canon. Not complaining! I love all the evocations, and it's got some new twists going on too so winning for me!
Edited to remove vote swap request, I am happy with my 8.

Nowhere. By the late 90's, the version of Braxton that was stranded in the past had been collected by his fellow officers from the 29th century and taken back to his own time, where he was 're-integrated' with the Braxton that didn't go through those events.
That's real world stuff. This is Trek's 2024. Very different
It'll be Ducane. You see him in a trailer.
Col. Green, perhaps?

The patient that Rios helps get out, Mr. Alvarez, that actor played a character in TNG

I mean, we see ICE and the Department of Homeland Security. So they are adopted some modern US changes. President Bush was shown in Enterprise on Daniel's timeline wall thing, as was 9/11

Really enjoyed this episode. I'm no fan of the Jurati character, but Alison Pill was fantastic during the link with the queen. The one eye twitching, perfectly still talking worked so well, I'm curious if there was CGI help since it looked so... slightly brain damaged.
And speaking of the Queen, I am loving this version. Her little smile at the start during the chaos when Jurati was plugging her in, the talk with her and Picard.
The 2024 stuff was lots of fun, the ICE stuff has me thinking even more that the event they have to change is preventing Trump's (or perhaps a Trekverse analogue, Adam Soong?) re-election.
Can't wait for next week!

They like to be topical and Trek is subtle as a sledgehammer with it sooooo....
But as said, it may be a Henry Starling/Bill Gates type thing. The hologram of Adam Soong in fascistverse 2501 makes he thing he's our Trumpalike.
Discovery is TOS flavored in the same way Trix is fruit flavored.
Good point. Well, fascists are usually incompetent! (Kidding)
Something that kinda irks me is how easily La Sirena dispatched those three pursuing starships. Queen or no queen, I expected them to be much tougher.
Whatever the administration, these things happen daily in the US in OUR reality. I find this to be much more disturbing than anything that I can see in fiction.
They’ll never do this: too cerebral.
I really don’t see it. I don’t see any TOS in discovery these days and not much TNG in Picard either.
It's not something seen with eyes.
