Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

She calls Stamets "Bobcat." That takes a certain amount of diabolical thinking!

 

[The Wormhole]

Where's that been stated or insinuated?

I have a vague recollection of some interview with Cirroc Lofton mentioning it a few years back.

I haven't read everything since it dropped but I haven't seen it mentioned so I'll add it here. There is the line, "To Boldly Go", visible on the bottom of a background billboard in LA.

It’s a billboard for the Europa Mission, and ‪‪I believe in some preview material we’ve seen Q with a coat with the Europa Mission logo.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Now we know where Zefram Cochrane picked up the phrase!

This, plus Raffi calling the billboard 'hope', has me thinking it'll be important to keep this mission on track. Even if that'll be a bit similar to First Contact.

 

[Commander Troi]

Jett Reno disagrees.

As do I (she wrote, munching on black licorice jelly beans).

 

[Lord Garth]

I don't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here since it's the season in progress.

The Star Trek movies have often rightly been criticized for drawing from The Wrath of Khan too much. What I like about what Discovery and Picard have done this season is draw from The Motion Picture and The Voyage Home instead.

 

[NCC-73515]

Perhaps they have to make sure the micro singularity passes through the solar system at the right time and place to send Sisko to 2024, because the Bell riots only happen when he does take Bell's role. It would be a perfect nice little temporal loop

 

[The Rock]

Am I the only one hoping that sometime this season Q just casually admits that he created the nexus from Generations so the mystery of where it came from can finally be put to rest?

 

[Therin of Andor]

What's the crest on Q's jacket?

A piece of his Judge's robe's medallion chain.

 

[Therin of Andor]

Still not up in Australia...

Last season we were getting it at 7.00am on Saturday mornings. Same again this year.

Nor the UK. And nothing on Amazon about it coming soon or anything. No mention of S2.

Australia had the trailer sitting there about a week before the premiere. Not sure why the streaming home pages don't have a little message board.

Holy shit.

How is it a mystery? It's just a one off time space phenomena. Star Trek has tons of those.

Do you think Q created the ones in Yesterday's Enterprise and Cause and Effect too?

 

[Campe]

Not everything needs to be explained or connected.

 

[SJGardner]

Isn't it the first rule of the Star Trek fandom that any random question a fan might have at any moment is by definition a plot hole and a sign of gross stupidity on the part of the writers unless and until they directly answer it in an episode?

To avoid this question going unanswered and thus becoming a plot hole,

Yes.

 

[Campe]

Answer is not teh cannon.

Waittt hold on, I didn't mean to sound like that. Sorry if I did, lol.

It's a mystery to me. *shrugs*

Do you think Q created the ones in Yesterday's Enterprise and Cause and Effect too?

No.

 

[Tuskin38]

No.

Then why is the Nexus any different?

 

[The Rock]

Then why is the Nexus any different?

Just my opinion. Also, whenever Q appears/disappears with that white flash looks exactly the same as the white flash that is seen when Picard and Kirk exit the Nexus.

Welp, guess I am the only one here who thinks it'd be neat if the Nexus was Q's creation and that's OK. I just hope you all don't think of me any less for that, lol.

Btw, I just wanted to point something out that I've noticed on this site. Whenever someone on here makes an opinion that a bunch of other people disagree with, if you're not part of the clique of the most well-known users on this site, everyone in that clique seems to gang up on that person to make him or her look like an idiot while high-fiving each other. What's that about? Was me saying that I thought it'd be cool if Q mentioned that he created the Nexus such an idiotic thing for me to say or something? I don't get it.
