Random Trek "Problems" That Bug You (and that you can't let go!)

What if the captain has been compromised or is just plain disenfranchised and decides to do it?

Trek has made it pretty clear that anyone can become compromised at any time.

Yes, good point, but ultimately the Chief knows how to lock it out and stop him.

"Does the first officer concur?"

"Well, now that you mention it, not really."

That could totally be a scene one day in the season four that will never happen for "The Orville".

"No, but I just did a quick poll of the crew and so far, the yeses are winning."

I'm sure that works about as reliably as when the crew tries to stop a transport in-progress too.

If there is one thing that is consistent across all of Star Trek, it is that you absolutely can never stop an unauthorized transport nor an unauthorized shuttle launch.

I'm pretty sure it was a VOY episode where they were successfully closing the shuttlebay doors only to have the shuttle phaser them open.

"THE RAVEN", when Seven stole the shuttle.

Seven's brute-force approaches to problems never fail to entertain!

Correct me if I’m wrong. Did they not age the Picard character 10 years so that he could be 90 instead of 80 at the beginning of Star Trek Picard. Patrick Stewart was about 47 when TNG aired. That’s a good age to take lead of the flagship. It bugs me.

He played Picard as at around 60 in the first season (+/- 2-3 years).

If that’s true, then I’ve been way off for years. If it’s true, Picard was 51 when his first command; the Star Gazer ended. He commanded Star Gazer for over twenty years? Stewart was born in 1940, making him 47 when they rolled out the show. I suppose I’ve been way off for years. I remember thinking about Picard’s age when I actually turned 47. I hate to say it’s been more than a few years since. Oh well.

On what are you basing that? I see no evidence for him playing Picard as any older than Stewart was at the time.

Jean-Luc Picard was born 15-Jul-2305, making him 59 during the first season of TNG.

The date comes from an onscreen graphic seen in the episode Conundrum as well as the episode Tapestry where he was 22 when he graduated from the Academy in 2327.

Picard would have been 94, or just turned 95 in the first season of Picard set in 2399, depending upon when grape harvest season was set in France.

Patrick Stewart was 79-80 during filming of the first season of Picard.

Picard would have been 96, just shy of 97 in the third season.

If you got with the argument that the third season Picard was supposed to have been set on the 250th Anniversary of the Federation's founding, then the season would have been set in 2411 and Picard would have been 106.
