A little surprised no one’s picked up the merch ball now that Eaglemoss has gone under.
Someone has GOT to make a USS Titan-A.

There's a company selling old Eaglemoss products, so I'd guess a new manufacturer will come along soon.
In the 1st Episode of Season 3, Picard did however refer to the Enterprise-D as not his first love, but his favorite.
But yes, especially with Jack Crushers comments, I do get the idea that it was the Picard initially.
It may come down to the animated shows being lower budget and having lower stakes, leading to more creative freedom. STLD made some massive mistakes out of the gate, but achieved consistent stability by the end its first season. PRODIGY has some tough not really Star Trek episodes, but quickly begins an unexpected meteoric rise. Whereas DISCOVERY was too big to fail, so faced constant creative instability. Only SNW will have season to season creative stability for three seasons in a row. And the live action series are so obsessed with being "cinematic", they have the real estate wasting 2.39 to 1 aspect ratio.
Gee. Where could someone see a model of the Shangri- er, the Titan?
I can understand why TPTB would want the hero ship for a potential new series to be named Enterprise. For many (maybe even most) casual or lapsed viewers, Star Trek revolves largely around "the voyages of the Starship Enterprise."
It could be a much better hook for a new series---'come see the NEW voyages of the Enterprise'---than simply 'come see the voyages of the USS Heretofore Unheard Of.'

I think his reaction to the rechristening of the Titan-A to the Enterprise-G is less about what Picard considers to have been "his" ship than it is about him realizing the ship was renamed in honor of himself and of the rest of the Enterprise-D command crew. He's recognizing it's not just about him.
That was one potential outcome I was dreading (honestly, expecting) would happen, especially when talks of a spinoff started, and I was very pleased when it didn't.
I think if the ship had been named Picard (though presumably they wait for a person to be dead — can still do that on a technicality I suppose) it would have made a fair amount of sense. His ‘names are everything’ line basically amounts to the same thing as him taking the name mind you.
It’s essentially a true thing that he has every right to the name after all, if he chose.
He hyphenates now.
Jack Jack Crusher.
His Mom was drunk when he was born. It's a long story.

Jack Daniel Crusher. He was originally going to be named Jim Beam Crusher but Beverly ran out of her first case of whiskey.
We named the dog Jack Jack. (Seriously, we did.)
