Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

We shall see.

 

I could see Jurati and Geordi ooh and aahing over Picard's new body. ( NOT LIKE THAT!!!) Beverly OTOH, definitely like that.

 

Oh, great...we're going to get a "fully functional" joke aren't we?

 

The head of Starfleet belongs behind a desk and shouldn't jump from fleet to fleet wherever one needs to be commanded - they have plenty of lower admirals for that XD

The only new S1 character that I really need to see more of is Rios and his holograms. And some resolution for Raffi where her son tells her she was right all along.

 

The sheer functioning hubris of it will shock you.

 

Sure it could have happened that way but there's absolute no reason it *has* to be the case. The only justification you could possibly need for her surviving is that she was one of the lucky/unlucky Maquis who were captured by Starfleet before the Dominion showed up. Then she spends x amount of time in Federation prison, is released and goes on to a new life. There's nothing unbelievable about that chain of events.

 

I'm gonna need some brain bleach, stat!

 

New episode of Ready Room is up on CBSAA and elsewhere. Patrick Stewart + a set tour of the LA Sirena.

 

According to that, La Sirena (no 'the' :P) isn't a Federation Starship, but Rios did retrofit it with federation technology.

Here's a facebook link for the video

You can watch the video on YouTube It was a really a interesting video.

 

Jean luc is now fully fucktional

 

My eyes, my eyes. O_O

 

Now we're cooking with pure, unrefined warp plasma.

 

Why do people assume Jean-Luc WASN'T fully functional before the whole golem thing? I mean didn't that doc tell him he's in excellent shape or something?

 

They should've killed off Geordi at Utopia Planitia, like the comics hinted at. Not that I want him dead or anything, but it adds personal stakes to the story to have a character we're very familiar with meet his demise in such a tragic event. That would've better explained his absence in a season built around possibly reconstructing Data or his kind.

But, he was never referenced as dead and was even referenced as alive by Picard at one point. So I can only surmise that he's on the frontier commanding the Challenger or something. And he'll team up with Picard and Riker once they discover that Worf is the secret evil mastermind behind everything.

 

The Picard book by Una McCormack Geordi wasn't on Mars when the Synths carried out their attack on the planet. I'm glad Geordi is alive and well and was not killed off in season one .I'm interested about what he's been up to doing when they have Levar Burton appearing in season 2.

 

As much as I am not a fan of not bringing back every single TNG crewmember I would disagree with killing Geordi in this manner. Killing him offscreen would not work, in my opinion.

 

IIRC Kirsten Beyer said in an interview that none of the main TNG cast are dead as of Season 1 of Picard (other than Data of course). Though obviously things in the writers room are always in flux.

 

Beverly certainly found him extremely extremely.
