New Picard SDCC Trailer

[Vger23]

Yes because I think that it sounds like a way too much fan wank......although I will admit it makes me wonder about the banner being present. I just think it would be unrealistic for the entire crew......@Lance might be onto something with one of them saving the banner and being part of the mission. We will see.

As for the writers, they are professional, award winning writers. How many awards you got on the shelf for writing? I think they will do just fine.

Nothing produced by a professional writer can compare to a fan who has fantasized about "new Star Trek" for years and now has an engrained and dogmatic view of what that should be.


Unfortunately.

That's disingenuous. Production designs, worldbuilding details, even character backstories changed between series and series, hell, sometimes even within the show.

Does that mean TOS' first 19 episodes are in a "different universe" because the ship was part of the United Earth Space Probe Agency until it was suddenly Starfleet in Court Martial? Is everything from the TOS movies onward in a "different universe" because the Klingons look different? Is DS9 in a "different universe" because the Trill were retconned so much from their debut in TNG they might as well be a different species?

As much as I like the enthusiasm of fans when it comes to figuring out connections and backgrounds and sussing out how things might go together, pretty often I get really annoyed when "canon" and "continuity" are treated like holy writ or some inalienable thing, when in reality it is and always has been something that changes between different shows or even in the same show depending on who the creators are at any given point, or how technology, prosthetic materials, or filming techniques had changed. It's a show. No, a series of shows spanning decades and dozens of different creator teams. Things are going to be changed, retconned, or updated for modern audiences, just like they've always been.

Star Trek III is in a different universe from Star Trek IV because the Bird-of-Prey bridge is configured completely differently.

That's absolutely not true. All ideas are not created equal.

I could just as easily speculate that Picard is going to be revealed as a sentient wheel of cheese that has taken on human form, but that doesn't make that speculation "good."

I don't need behind the scenes info to recognize a bad idea. Your suggestion that they are going to pull story points from "Timeless" or "Dark Frontier" is not good.

Sorry for taking the fun out of it.

I completely disagree. I think that is a wonderful thought. Don't sell it short.

Wrong! There are two and only two "Star Trek" universes. The one where Kirstie Alley plays Saavik...and everything that happened afterwards is some kind of long-running, fan fic fever dream non-canonical 25% joke.

I still maintain that everything that happened after Where No Man Has Gone Before is in an alternate continuity. I mean, the Jim Kirk I know doesn't change his middle initial on a whim.

Sounds like my professional life as of late.

Exactly.

 

[Spider]

Discovery is not enough for me to renew CBSAA, but it looks as if though Picard might. I'm really intrigued after seeing the latest trailer.

You Guys knows NOTHING - it is clear the Universe splits between TNG Season 2 and Season 3 - notice the different uniforms AND the fact that the Klingon Empire which was previously a member of the Federation is suddenly not = different Universe

One hell of a trailer! And Seven and Data!

One hell of a trailer! And Seven and Data!

I was still trying to process it Sunday morning! Best trailer since 09

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Point is, while it's great that Seven is there, I highly doubt she is other than nostalgic purposes. She seems to be there for a vital reason.

Since the Borg are a part of the story, and we have confirmation that 3 people who have been de-assimilated (to various degrees) are in the show, that appears to be the vital reason.

You're forgetting Voyager split, too!

Between seasons 3 and 4, the furniture on the ship suddenly had a dark green trim to it. Unless the crew found time to do some repainting in the middle of the Borg/8472 crisis. ALTERNATE TIMELINE -- 25% DIFFERENT! NEW LICENSING DEAL!

WHO LICENSED THE FURNITURE!

Between The 37s and Initiations, Voyager takes on a supply of brand new Starfleet phasers and tricorders. Clearly a new continuity, since this would be impossible in the Delta Quadrant.

In Season 5, Captain Picard is suddenly wearing a suede jacket out of the blue!

Are we supposed to believe that he just CHANGED CLOTHING??? Clearly, that was a way to make him 51% different than in his previous outfit!

New universe here, too!

 

[Abi Smith]

I've got mixed feelings on this trailer, on the downside it's the Borg AGAIN , but one of the Borg is Seven

OH.
HANG ON.
THEY DID SELL THAT ONE.

THE WOMEN!

 

[Verteron]

Why use that when Discovery has instantaneous travel?

Also, I want transwarp beaming to be the norm. Teleport Picard from Earth to Vulcan and then hop on a ship to the ex-Borg prison cube.

I thought (hope...) transwarp beaming had only been perfected in the Kelvinverse.

Why not be able to utilize the transwarp network for transporting?
