Spoilers New Picard TV Series and Litverse Continuity (may contain TV show spoilers)
- Thread starter chrinFinity
- Start date
Pocket had a nice run in the 24th century, 17 years. But it was eventually going to come to an end. If it hadn't been a new show, it would've been some kind of corporate change, new licensee at some point, new editors with their own vision for the line...
I do hope that we get a final giant novel that wraps up the major running threads from the last seventeen years.

Wow! Some spoilers were very good at not leaking.
What time code was that? I missed it twice.
Possibly. Maybe even probably. But there may yet be wiggle room for the authors -- we'll see in 2020!
According to Google calculator, that's 16 years.
That's if they're using Earth days on what seems to be a Romulan-run internment camp inside a... disused? Abandoned? Deactivated? Borg cube.
It is written in English for a reason (for the viewer) so I doubt it's anything but what we see...
Unless it's "reset the timeline" I can't see how they can do it. Even another "Doomsday Bug" can't reconcile this.
Seven has her Borg implants in 2399.
There's a Borg cube, and Borg drones exist in 2399.
B4/Data is in a disassembled state, and refers to Picard as "Captain", implying a recent reactivation and no knowledge of the past 20 years.
The backstory in the "First Duty" exhibit (not all of which may make it to screen) contradicts the novelverse.
On the other hand, A Singular Destiny left some wiggle room for the idea that some drones and some aspect of the Collective may still have survived somewhere out there, seemingly overlooked by the Caeliar.
Or maybe we just have to throw most of Destiny out the window. We'll see.
I think there is a strong possibility that scene was a dream sequence rather than reality.
Borg are still active in other universes. In theory, it would be easy to bring them across to repopulate our universe.On the other hand, A Singular Destiny left some wiggle room for the idea that some drones and some aspect of the Collective may still have survived somewhere out there, seemingly overlooked by the Caeliar.

Well that's it. Really excited for the new Picard series. Even more so after the new trailer but there's no reconciling the two continuities.
I've said before how I thought it was a shame Pocket didn't take the opportunity to give each of the series 2-3 novels to wrap up this year and maybe go out with one final crossover event series. Only TNG got an opportunity. Here's hoping the next(/last) novel is a good one.
Still hopeful that the VOY and ENT Relaunches aren't entirely over but I'm not holding my breath.

We can see him in a mustard-colored collar, and a hint of blue-gray shoulders, so it looks like Data is wearing his FC-era uniform. It's pretty much got to be one or the other.
