Open Speculation about "Star Trek: Picard"

[eschaton]

Narek characters is in 7 episodes of Picard according to IMDB .He certainly can't be trusted. The Romulans want Dahj and want to know her secrets badly. Elnor doesn't like Narek and they're supposed to clash and not like each other very much.Some where at New York it was mentioned after they showed the latest Picard trailer.

It's hard to tell with IMDB. I mean, Elnor supposedly is in just the first, ninth, and tenth episodes - which would be kind of unusual.

If it's B4 in the drawer, where's Lore? On the floor?

If Alison Pill is the sucessor to Bruce Maddox, you'd think she'd have access to any soong type androids knocking around.

I think Alison feels guilty about working on those androids wants to help Picard to atone for what she's done. (if those copy androids are Starfleet/Federation)

If you look carefully the androids are all wearing the same outfits as the people who appear to be being held captive by the Romulans, maybe on the Borg Cube, so I'm pretty sure the Romulans are responsible for them. Although I guess they could have been made by Starfleet and stolen by the Romulans.

Yeah, I thought that at first, but we do see her getting attacked outside Starfleet HQ and then Picard seems to be alone for the early stages of his investigation, including the confrontation with the admiral, so either he stashes her somewhere safe while he's doing all that (and where is safe if she's already been attacked on the steps of Starfleet itself?) or she is abducted early on and then rescued again fairly swiftly, perhaps within the first episode, with the remainder of the story (investigation into what the hell is going on?) playing out from there. She's said to be a major POV character so she is definitely with the crew for the bulk of the show, but there's no reason she can't get re-captured and then rescued again in the early stages of the season. And having her attacked and possibly abducted right in front of him, after coming to him for help, would certainly get Picard all fired up, especially if there's a mystery as to why all this is happening in the first place.

I like that the trailers have posed so many questions and possibilities - can't wait to find out the answers!

That just seems to repetitive to me, I'd like to think we'd just see her captured once and then be done with it.

I've been wondering if Harry Treadaway's character - the Romulan Narek - is actually a main antagonist for the series - or at least the initial antagonist, who plays a role in Dahj's kidnapping. The last trailer certainly made it seem like he had ulterior motives beyond that of Picard's crew - and there are no scenes whatsoever with him on the ship or interacting with Picard.

I've been thinking the same thing.

It seems like the crew of Picard's ship - judging by the few shots we have seen - is limited to Picard, Rio, Musiker, Elnor, and Jurati.

I'm pretty sure Dahj is going to be on their too.

Rios. The character's name is Rios, not Rio.

You can't really trust what imdb says about a new show before it airs - it is often updated by fans based on guesswork and wishful thinking.

If Alison Pill is the sucessor to Bruce Maddox, you'd think she'd have access to any soong type androids knocking around.

I suspect Agnes Jurati's work might turn out to have been used against her knowledge to help create the army of slave androids, and learning about that will be part of her motivation for joining Picard's mission.

That just seems to repetitive to me, I'd like to think we'd just see her captured once and then be done with it.

I think we probably will. I mean, we know for sure she gets attacked outside Starfleet and there's a chance she might get captured then and have to be rescued, but I'd imagine that would be the only time. I don't think escaping from wherever she was beforehand would count as being captured as part of the show - that's backstory.

I think she escapes, goes to Picard, he takes her to Starfleet for help, she gets attacked outside, and then...well, either the attack is fended off and she then cools her heels in a corridor someplace while Picard argues with that admiral and then storms out to go investigate alone, or she gets re-captured, which piques Picard's interest and protective instincts more than they already were, so he argues with the admiral and then storms out to investigate alone, assembles a crew, rescues her (not necessarily in that order) and then takes Dahj and the rest of the crew off on a season-long mission of discovery, or whatever it is they are going to do across the 10 episodes.

What if Star Fleet is working covertly with the Romulans on the Borg Cube.
Combining their knowledge about Androids and Romulan Borg Tech knowledge.

The signage we saw was in both the Human and Romulan languages.

Might be why the Federation Admiral is adamant about Picard not becoming involved.

Can you spell "franchise"? I knew that you could!

My thoughts on the scene you're talking about, is that that is her fighting off the Romulans after she escapes but before she goes to Picard. It's that attack that convinces her to go to Picard for help.

We see Picard watching the fight, though, don't we?

Oh, January can't come fast enough!

I just found out he's going to be 94 years old at this point. I know this is the future but this is pushing things a bit far..

Late middle-age for a nearly 25th century human.

He could have another 50 years in him.

 

[StewMc]

McCoy was over 40 years older than Picard is now when we saw him in EaF and looked like someone who would be between 90 and 100 today. He looked reasonably health as well.

Mark Jameson on the other hand from “To Short a Season” was meant to be 85 and looked terrible (though that was mainly down to the poor makeup job).

I can’t really remember seeing any humans after TNG season 1 who were meant to be at an extremely advanced age but still looked relatively young. Soong looked old and frail but no idea what age he was supposed to be.

I know there was Elias Vaughn in the DS9 novels who was over 100 and was still working as a fairly active commander/captain in Starfleet.

It would be a great cliffhanger if S1 ended with Picard's implants reactivating - Locutus is back! - To be continued...

94-year old Picard:

I am LOCUTUS of Borg.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!
To be continued......

Seeing how Discovery was entirely different from episode 3 onwards, I'm curious how many episodes the footage we've seen are from and what the show becomes once Jean Luc has his merry band of Renegades together.

You mean Jean-Luc and his merry band of Space Pirates (call back to 'Gambit, Part 1 & Part 2')

Anyhow, I just rewatched the last trailer again. In the Picard's dream sequence featuring him meeting Data in the vineyard,

I noticed the woman in Data's picture at 0:18 resembles Dr Beverly Crusher, her long hair and dress (resembling her doctor's coat) gives it away to me.

The camera then flashbacks to Picard saying "I don't know how," then his mind took him a battle scene between Federation fleet and a bunch of Romulan warbids.

I now theorize that, sadly, Dr Crusher was killed during this battle - the 'unthinkable' moment for Picard that leads him to resign from Starfleet, retire to his vineyard, and began his self-imposed exile that was only concluded when Dahj shows up in his vineyard.

We never heard from Gates McFadden on whether she will be rephrasing her role in 'Picard' so far and no one has said anything about Beverly returning. So I think the above scenario might be the one we'll see in 'Picard.'

But we'll have to wait till January to find out for sure....

Acted terrible too.
