New Picard Trailer

San Francisco DIS/TOS era vs. PIC era.

I really like the fact, that the producers actually kept it mind that Picard is set almost 150 years after Disco and changed things accordingly instead of keeping things the same, like it was done with Romulus in ENT.
 
Has anyone noticed that the late 24th century tech has finally caught up and even surpassed discovery tech. They even have all holographic levers and buttons. It only took them 20 years from Nemesis to get here. :biggrin:
These new showrunners seem obsessed with holographic things.

Genuinely thought they just reused the same shot. Kinda hoping it's a work in progress and they aren't using Discovery shuttles in the Picard-era.

Although if doing so saves money, I'm cool with it. Star Trek V and VI recycled so much from TNG (in turn recycled from I-III)

I'm thinking the 9 or 10 year old girl with dark hair, looking at something out the window. Is a flashback scene of Picard daughter.

I'm glad Romulus didn't change. Those guys have been traveling / conquering the stars for two thousand years - they clearly aren't mayflies, and apparently are in no hurry to get stuff changed. Indeed, I'd love to get PIC flashbacks to the lost Romulus that show exact reproductions of both the ENT/NEM city and the TNG one (as obviously those are two distinct, different places :vulcan:).

Also, I rather think we'll be buried under a landslide of canon references in this show, as in every other new incarnation of Trek - there's no avoiding it now that the first season of DSC created a backlash that for some unfathomable reason resulted in a panicky back-backlash. But I'm also having high hopes that this can be made to work. More so than yesterday; this trailer really bodes well, for this particular new Trek.

Lost daughter of Beverly & Jean-Luc that was grown in a test tube somewhere?
My first theory was that was Picard and Anij's daughter, but as I've learned more I'm thinking that she's not that directly linked to Picard.
So now I'm thinking she's the part of whatever's is going on with the Romulans, Borg, and androids.
Perhaps some kind of escaped experiment subject, and she trusts Picard because of whatever Borg bits are in her.

Yeah a little too much. I can't believe nothing has survived since the TNG era such as regular touch panels. Going all holographic seems unrealistic as well as difficult to use. Also no more LCARs from the looks of it

I kind of had an idea for a while now that holographic controls were probably around during Zefram Cochrane's time, but touch panel controls were just preferred aboard starships as tjhey could be simpler to service and were less delicate. That might have changed in the years since Nemesis.

The LCARS typeface and Okudagrams definitely helped establish a certain look for the 24th-Century and visually unified TNG, DS9, & VOY--but after a few decades and likely improvements, it's understandable if LCARS has gone the way of Windows XP by now, IMO...
 
It's likely a case of needing to make Picard look more advanced than Discovery, where they've retconned all TOS-NEM technology into the pre-TOS era. Plus, Countdown had them.
 
So it seems Riker is now living Captain Kirk’s nexus fantasy?

Not really sure how I feel about it yet. If the goal was to get me excited, it didn’t, but I’m not really turned off by it either. No matter what it seems like this will be quite different. We’ll see... I guess open minded but cautious, at this stage.
 
Anybody heard any rumors or anything about who's playing Will and Deanna's daughter?

Maybe both touch panels and holograms are available and it's up to the person building the ship to pick. La Sirena is a civilian ship, so maybe Capt. Rios choose to go holographic, while Starfleet wants all of their ships to have touch panels.

There are 2D panels in the admirals office.

also holographic/3D panels were mentioned in passing in one of the alternate futures seen in DS9.

IMDb lists an actor named Lulu Wilson playing a character named 'Kestra', which was the name of Deanna's sister, that could be her

I just hope she's not a reincarnation of the Borg Queen.
