Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

[fireproof78]

LCARS screens are da bomb, apparently.

Da bomb diggity.

This is more of a meta comment, but Season 3 must be doing something right because I've seen more new posters around here than I have in a long time.

I've been thinking this. There are long time BBS posters that I've never encountered in my time here regularly joining discussions. That can only be a positive thing.

 

[Tosk]

So this isn't a spoiler, I actually don't know this. Just theorizing.

What if Locutus was actually a sentient entity before it took over Picard's body in "The Best of Both Worlds"

Perhaps an ancient and dying voice that needs something in Picard and Jack to survive.

I think that's at odds with the way the Queen told Picard to go kick rocks when he offered to be Locutus again in First Contact. Unless "Locutus" is not something that the Borg actually want...which doesn't really make sense.

If there’s one thing season 2 has over season 3. Location variety.

This is my gripe as well. I'm sure COVID had a lot to do with this though.

Something like that plays a major role in the Borg-involved Star Trek Destiny trilogy by David Mack...

The budget is definitely cramping their style a little. Once it was established that all of Starfleet could potentially track the Titan, the obvious move would be to ditch it, especially once they're at the Fleet Museum and have their pick of ships. That the characters didn't – and that we didn't even get to see the interior of the Bounty when Jack stole the cloak – suggests the production is relatively strapped.

What's going to happen once Picard and his Fairy Godcrew leave?

Is the budget low, or are the actors a huge part of the budget?

They're part of the budget. It cost a fortune to reunite the TNG crew.

Milk runs for Shaw.

Honestly, this has been fine for a one-off. But I’d rather see higher production values then largely the same eight sets for ten episodes.

That's either the worst name for a band I've heard in a long time or the best.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

What is that some kind of indie folk rock band?

 

[Romulan_spy]

I think Okuda likes the finale.

They played out our farmers market last year

I've been dealing with a lady on Twitter who thinks she can predict the spinoff show based upon what Terry is retweeting.

I've learned the hard way that it's best not to try to read tea leaves. You're only setting yourself up for disappointment.

 

[waniel]

I don't know if it's meant to be a running gag, but I find the idea of Picard offering his own wine as a gift to everyone as a gesture of goodwill and being subtly or frankly told that it's not as good as he seems to think it is by close friends and new acquaintances to be pretty funny.

Half our threads would dry up.

That’s a bad thing?
