    Anyways that's just the year it was bottled, not the year the show takes place.

    As far as the Prime timeline is concerned Spock died saving the universe. No need to mention Kelvinverse in any way.

    I think it just says famille, which means family.

    And they could add in that Vulcan left the Federation rather than accept Romulan refugees.

    I don't think anyone in the Prime Timeline is super concerned about a mining ship

    Although it likely isn't canon, Countdown shows that Nero wiped out a Klingon fleet, Starfleet rescue ships, and severely injured Worf before falling into a black hole.

    Yep, essentially Unification fell apart. Knowing what he knew and the hard work that he had personally invested in it....he walked away. Im sure it is more complicated than that but that plays into my theory.

    Edit: Oh I'm a dumb dumb, the filming location.

    I'm trying to decipher it... Is first letter L or S? Scripts are sometimes hard to read :)

    Is it just me, or does the actress talking to Picard sound like Gina Torres?

    A couple other people have mentioned that.

    A bit template with the maudlin muzak and sentences designed for toddlers to comprehend, but they're not the target audience because they have zero knowledge or relationship for Jean-Luc, much less be able to sit through 11.25 minutes of an episode before their attention spans waver demand they go chase squirrels onto the road after eating a pint of coffee choc ice cream...

    Well, it falls in the same tradition of making Kirk and Spock and Scotty and other near-deities falling down because there's no other possible dramatic angle.

    Picard also never had faith as such. Look up "Who Watches the Watchers", it's definitive.

    Loved the use of the Trek theme and TNG subtheme at the end - which makes up for what are few obvious nitpicks. If the premiere sells it and, again, Patrick "I'm done with Picard" Stewart liked what he saw, this show could legitimately be a winner.

    But teasers mean very little. For example, "Goldeneye" had a marvelous teaser, but the actual movie was so idiotic. And to think that's the best of Bond movies from the 1990s... Star Trek V had a decent teaser. Movie was a mixed bag. STIV had even less of a teaser than Picard's show and that movie was rather a high note for Kirk and co to end on. So I'm awaiting the premiere, admittedly with bated breath. Sir Patrick is a big reason as to why.

    Would you believe it's actually homage to Maxwell Smart? If I'm wrong, I'll say "Missed it by that much."

    That's a....pretty awful design. Looks like the Voyager crossed with a blue whale. Yuck.

    No. There would be zero point to doing that.

    There are many kinds of faith. The show is definitely not talking about that kind of faith.

    I am definitely excited by the trailer--just the look and feel of it establish this show as being something definitely different from Discovery. Which, I believe, is a good thing. I have enjoyed Discovery but giving each Trek show it's own distinctive style and look will be better for the franchise in both the short and long run.

    100% agreed. Nitpicks or not, the premise behind the trite schmaltz says it all - concisely and rather beautifully, IMHO.

    If the show is as good as the teaser...heck, the synopsis alluded to alone combined with Sir Patrick being lured in... I'd say that's a good combination, and unlike certain youtube channels nobody is out to deliberately destroy Star Trek, they're trying to reach new audiences. Even then there's still a distinction between good storytelling regardless of target audience age... but with Picard, trying to hook children or teenagers into a show that involves a guy that appealed to people who were children or teenagers (or older) some three decades ago, nor is it easy to write to multiple audience groups simultaneously...
