Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x10 - "The Last Generation"

[FreezeC77]

VOY could have had Raffi and Seven on board, and Worf could have been stationed on the Defiant with someone else (perhaps Troi).

In fairness, I think this would have been the most logical/sensible thing to do, and I think most of the background for both the VOY and Defiant could have been CGI-ed (with main focus on the ENT-D bridge)... but its probable that they hadn't done this due to budget constraints and a relatively small amount of time we would have spent seeing those.

I mean it def would have been cool to see the different starships from the 3 main series in this timeline all together at the same time and then the different bits of each shows theme playing as one goes past and lets off a strafing run or something.

Possibly even have the first insertion into the Cube not be able to transport because of borg interference but the D has no shuttles so finally the Captain's Yacht is used in order to get into the Cube

 

[Phily B]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was initially in the plans or thrown about, but they've talked about having to scale back because of the budget and I doubt that idea got too far.

 

[Danja]

Explore, too.

Typo

I was stuck on this week's ep! lmao

SNW leads directly into... TOS.

Really, it does!

Kirk is hovering around.

 

[Firebird]

CHEKOV'S a Soong, too?

Oh, come ON.

It's Soongs, all the way down.

Originally the entire TOS cast was supposed to be onboard for the Enterprise-B sequence in Generations. One by one they dropped off when they felt they weren't going to get the attention they felt they deserved. Nimoy said he felt Spocks role was "prefunctory", Takei dropped out, so did Nichelle Nichols.

As time went on the TOS decided it was okay to throw stones in glass houses, as long as the glass house was Bill Shatners.

As much as people bitch about season 3 of Picard being nostalgia bait, they would've hated the original first act of Generations even more. It was a thinly-veiled excuse to get the original seven back in bridge station seats for one last action sequence, incapacitating each Enterprise-B bridge officer one-by-one. It was stunningly shoddy writing.

It never made sense to me that ships would take years to build

Shelby said explicitly it would take "less than a year" to rebuild the fleet following 359, so presumably that means the annual production is in excess of 40 ships per year.

We know the Enterprise was still being built 1 year prior to Encounter at Farpoint in 2363 as its warp core was not even finalized until 2362 (Boobytrap) and the events of "Eye of the Beholder" take place 8 years prior to that episode in Season 7, so again..at least a year prior to Farpoint.

Based on what has been seen on screen, the minimum production time is 2 years for a Galaxy class, probably closer to 3.

Proper Trekkies, some might declare. I myself seem not to be one, failing the purity test by being accepting of... change! gasp

You are not of the body.

(That’s okay. Neither am I.)

 

[Racefuel]

In contrast, all ships in the fleet have their own drones for self-repair and maintenance... I wouldn't be surprised that once all the repairs were carried out on the ships themselves, each vessel donated a portion of their own drones to self-replicate and reconstruct the spacedock (assuming it was destroyed in the first place - we saw the Borg knock out its shields and presumably damage it severely, but we never saw the Spacedock fully destroyed, did we?).

The only instance we've ever heard of Drones working in the TNG era is Geordis reference that they were loading torpedoes into the Enterprise-D in Vox.

The whole "Dot" drones thing is a Discovery invention and has never been observed in any other Star Trek, mostly because Discovery invented it.

You're applying Discovery era info to TNG/DS9/Voyager events, which isn't possible right now.

BTW, we saw that the Enterprise was being pieced together, slowly, in Boobytrap, we also saw a Galaxy class under construction in pieces in Season 7.

We've also seen the Utopia yards in Voyager and they were still very much building ships the old fashioned way.

I was promised Avengers Endgame!!!!! I barely got the Avengers!!!!!

which doesn't make sense because impulse drive would result in speeds of about 74000 km/s (at least)... so, thrusters would have made more sense for leaving drydocks and starbases or approaching the

Not at least, at maximum at least in normal operations

 

[Samurai8472]

Btw, did they imply in this episode that the Borg are defeated forever? Cause Jack Crusher says "The age of the Borg is ending!"

You just know some hotshot producer's thinking

"If there was a queen shouldn't there be a.......KING"

Boom. Borg King.

I was hoping the queen would take interest in a new Data or taunt Seven while she was running around the Titan

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

You just know some hotshot producer's thinking

Boom. Borg King.

In the novelverse, the Borg of the Mirror Universe are led by a King (and travel in diamonds as opposed to cubes).

Please no more mirror universe or borg or mirror universe borg or borg bringing the mirror universe

Please no

Saw this on Twitter.

uh.....

It's kinda not wrong.

DS9 Episode Babel, Cargo Drones were mentioned by O'brien.

Also of course the Exocomps.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Since I refuse to use the term "memberberries" (other than now), I'll just vote for a show that stands totally on its own with no connection to any of the others outside of being in the same universe.

I mean, I don't reference my own past as much as Star Trek characters do.

I think TOS was the last show that did that. And even it did callbacks. Once they had material to callback to,

uh..... hmm.....

It's kinda not wrong.

The queen being disembodied and supported via tubes and interfaces pre-dates TROS however.

The Queens appearance in this is inspired by H R Giger, not Star Wars

 

[Tosk]

They sure glossed over the wanton destruction and presumably massive loss of life that happened on Frontier Day, huh?

I'm just shocked she was topless!!!!!

Well what is really cool is that can be addressed in a follow up series too
