Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x10 - "Farewell"

[gweeps]

TNG and DS9's were usually around 45 minutes.

Voyager's are 45-46 minutes until the last two seasons when they are 42-43.

Enterprise was 42-44 minutes.

Contrast this all with TOS, which went 50-51 minutes per episode.

Poor downgraded Voyager.

Poor downgraded Voyager.

I'm sure it was just that as UPN ratings continued to be mediocre, they switched formats to have more commercials.

 

[Commander Richard]

Enterprise had an episode that was 39 minutes.

 

[The Wormhole]

From the 2000s onwards, 40-42 minutes or less has pretty much been the norm on network shows.

I really hope there is a satisfying ending tonight. I think if they are still in LA and the season ends, I might be tempted to give this episode a 1. It's been such a struggle (Through no fault of the actors, I think Pill has done an amazing job this season and she is the MVP) but maybe the ending might give some hope to Season 3.

 

[Commander Richard]

They said that thanks to COVID delays, they had time to really get the story right, so I hope they did. At the moment it seems like they have a lot to wrap up quickly.

 

[DaveyNY]

From the 2000s onwards, 40-42 minutes or less has pretty much been the norm on network shows.

Up until the mid-'70's most hour long shows had about 9-10 minutes of commercials.
That increased to 10-14 minutes by the late '80's and then up to 15 minutes in the '90's.

 

[PicardHitbyTesla]

I'm looking forward to seeing how they wrap up the story arcs for all the characters. And what happens with Renee Picard and the Europa mission and Picard and crew getting back to their own time . Also stopping Adam Soong.

And...

Rios girl the doctor lady

Q

The borg queen going to the delta quadrant

The future borg queen with the mask

The confederation?

I think if they are still in LA and the season ends

The showrunner has already said Season 3 is a separate story from Season 2, so it won't end in a Cliffhanger. Unless it's one that is solved almost immediately in Season 3 episode 1.

Not necessarily a cliffhanger, but I won’t be surprised if the final scene (hopefully they don’t jump on the post-credit scene bandwagon) might set up S3 in some way, perhaps even with a cameo from one of the returning TNG characters.

 

[gvn2fly]

Could happen, but I think they need to resolve the events from stargazer in the finale. That may only be a few minutes but it should mean they’ll get out of the past.

 

[DaveyNY]

Its up ... (48 minutes)

 

[NCC-73515]

Nobody guards the spacesuits, nobody knows the Europa crew doesn't include Tallinn? XD

It's full of surprises...

Turns out the supervisors are sent by the travelers!

 

[tomalak301]

Not sure how I feel about the Traveler scene. It came out of nowhere and it was incredibly random.

 

[DaveyNY]

HOLY FUCK ......

Spoiler

WESLEY the TRAVELER!!!!!!

10 ... for that moment alone.

All the rest is just icing on the cake.

 

[Precious Tritium]

Genuinely laughed out loud at the Project Khan scene. Dude didn’t even skip a beat. His life’s work just got deleted right in front of his eyes. Oh well, better get on with Plan B.

 

[NCC-73515]

 

[mswood]

HOLY FUCK ......

Seriously the one thing I would have NEVER guessed they would do.

I did suspect the lets pickup the work from Eugenics war as a tie in to his later descendant.

BRILLIANT RETCON!
