Patrick Stewart has seen first 5 episodes, hopes fans won't be disappointed
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
I have seen nothing in the trailers to indicate they're going down a Logan track. I think this show is just going to portray Picard as a real person, instead of an archetype.
I probably shouldn't be telling you this but I heard through a hot scoop there IS a reference to a certain starship in the series.....
**SPOILERS**
the first episode has a scene where Picard is walking around the Picard family home, sees the banner for Captain Picard Day and below it on a shelf is a copy of the small prize that every child would get just for entering a work into the celebration's creative competition. He picks it up, his eyes lingering on it and remembering the children of yesteryear and smiles wistfully to himself. "Ah, the enter prize."

During the promotion they mentioned Logan a few times. I just hope they didn't get too inspired by it and that they don't set up season 3 of DIS when it comes to the Federation. I rather wish the Picard makers forget that DIS exists and ignore that series completely.
TPTB would be tying themselves up in knots trying to keep TOS, ENT, and Disco aligned continuity-wise.
I agree but for a different reason. If they take place ~800 years apart, then they should have nothing to do with each other, period. 2399 should have as much to do with 3187 as the year 1231 has to do with 2019.
And if the both of us are saying Discovery and Picard shouldn't intersect, that should tell people all they need to know.
Not really.
Look at the name of the subforum you're in. That should answer your question.
We don't know yet, when the Federation goes downhill, just that it does sometimes between the end of VOY and season 3 of DIS. The first signs of trouble could start around 2400. Maybe political divisions between its members appear. It might be the start of the Federation losing its ideals which might be portrayed as the reason why Picard has left Starfleet and is not an Admiral anymore. I really hope they don't go this route, but I can't say it would surprise me. We don't know for how many years the Federation is already in a sorry state in the year 3187. It could have been a relative recent thing, but maybe it is by then so for hundreds of years already.
I think committing 800 years of canon in one direction would be a huge mistake. I know you agree with me on this. Especially if the 32nd Century doesn't go over well. Right now the 25th Century looks like a pretty good Plan B. And if they do more series in the 25th Century, they won't want to be so completely locked in.
While it's true we don't know, I'd say the Federation in PIC will probably be just different and nothing more.
I wouldn't be surprised if they start hinting that the Federation may be going down a dark path, because with the "metaknowledge" we have from Discovery this could result in added tension. But I'm sure they want to give PIC as a show some sense of agency across its three seasons, which will include leaving the Federation in a better place than it was when the series began.
Do we REALLY want Trek to follow the same path that the MCU is proposing to take? ("In order to understand Picard, you have to watch all the TNG films PLUS the TNG series PLUS Voyager and Discovery.")

Why not? I think it would be fun to see Picard running through a forest shirtless killing a bunch of armed thugs with his bare hands.
Hi, have you ever seen Discovery? Picard's gonna be a fanwank explosion.
Picard. Riker. Troi. Seven of Nine as a badass renegade. Hugh the Borg from 3 episodes 30 years ago. The supernova from the 2009 movie. Data and an army of new Soong-type androids which is a direct tie in to "Measure of a Man". Picard's flute playing in the music. Picard fencing like he's 40 again.
And all that's just the trailers and hype comic
She's always been a badass. It's good to see that she's no longer holding back.
Given how casually Picard tossed aside an archeological treasure from his mentor in Generations I'm sure it will be ignored.
