Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

[The Wormhole]

Meh, that soundtrack listing doesn't have anything as glaringly obvious a spoiler like "Qui-Gon's Funeral" on the Phantom Menace soundtrack. And that was released two weeks before the movie.

Then again, so was the novelization.

 

[Timofnine]

Is it possible that Q returns somehow? Perhaps Picard and humanities trial never ended? Or did the trial really just fizzle out in season 2 when the Continuum collapsed back in on itself as represented on screen via Q’s perceived death?

TNG started with Q, ended as a series with Q, and now surely it must in some way conclude Picard’s story with Q? Even if it is just a cameo with Sombrero?

 

[StewMc]

Going by the track listing I’m guessing we’ll finally hear

Spoiler

”Make it so” from Picard

which hasn’t happened at all so far in any of the seasons.

 

[Set Harth]

Meh, that soundtrack listing doesn't have anything as glaringly obvious a spoiler like "Qui-Gon's Funeral" on the Phantom Menace soundtrack.

even worse, preceded by "Qui-Gon's Noble End"

 

[Quinton]

We're only around 21-22 out of 45 with 60% of the episodes delivered. Cool to see there's a lot of new music still ahead of us.

Surely this shows that there is still some demand for Star Trek? They might be able to do another show after all, it would be a shame for them to put the breaks on to the momentum that Picard season 3 seems to be gaining.

Surely Terry can have his spin-off/continuation now??

I think Star Trek: Legacy is a given at this point. It feels like the groundswell for a Pike series after DSC S2, which it always felt they were setting up anyway.

SNW has been a big hit with fans and critics, so they'll take notice and act accordingly here.

 

[fireproof78]

SNW will have to carry it for a while.

 

[Tomalak]

SNW plus DSC, LDS, PRO, S31, SFA until LEG is ready.

 

[fireproof78]

, S31, SFA until LEG is ready.

I will not be holding my breath.

 

[Noname Given]

Okay, I might be showing my age, but calling 1996 "nostalgic" just feels wrong.

Well remember, in 2026, just 3 years from now, calling 1996 nostalgic in 2026 would be like calling 1966 nostalgic in 1996.

 

[Skywalker]

SHO(Short Treks)

Memory Alpha abbreviates Short Treks as "ST" which, while consistent, is utterly stupid.

 

[cooleddie74]

It is. Not quite "STD"-as-epithet stupid but pretty weak sauce.

 

[Lord Garth]

Well remember, in 2026, just 3 years from now, calling 1996 nostalgic in 2026 would be like calling 1966 nostalgic in 1996.

Very, very true. I'm finding out now that Middle-Age warps so much perspective.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Embrace your oldness, kid!

 

[Quinton]

I think I'm a few years behind Garth, but damn if @Noname Given didn't just make me feel old with that as well.

 

[Magistos]

Yeah...
Stares in "I graduated college in 1995".

Barkeep, another round for all us old folks.

 

[eschaton]

Very, very true. I'm finding out now that Middle-Age warps so much perspective.

Saw a vintage picture of Bjork, P.J. Harvey, and Tori Amos the other day, and realized it's nearly 30 years old.

 

[Noname Given]

Yeah...
Stares in "I graduated college in 1995".

Barkeep, another round for all us old folks.

Nah don't feel that bad.

Now...if you graduated college circa 1985...

 

[cooleddie74]

I graduated in 1996 after graduating my high school in 1992.

So I'm not OLD old, but let's just say some of the music that was new when I was lugging books around high school are now played by oldies stations.

 

[marillion]

I'm seeing Tori in concert this summer. While she has definitely aged gracefully, I'm definitely feeling my years as I know this will be an audience where I might actually be on the younger side (52).
