The complete lack of mention of Lore is very jarring, especially as his body was in Starfleet custody and they'd have access to him to recreate androids. Also, strange that there's a general lack of security in Picard's vineyard, or even the middle of a city apparently. Especially someone like Picard who has made enemies all over the galaxy, you think he would have a lot more security at his vineyard that Dahj would feel relatively safe there and not feel like she was endangering Picard.
Lore was an extreme threat to everybody on every occasion he showed up.
After the last time, I'm pretty sure that Data made sure that Lore would never be able to endanger anybody ever again.
Even if it meant destroying Lore's head.
 
I just finished it and I found it to be very intriguing and I want to see more. I want to watch it a couple more times before I offer my complete thoughts.

So far, Picard is much easier to follow than Discovery....I do wish we'd get the fuck away from the evil artificial intelligence. Why is that suddenly a popular trope in Star Trek? I would have thought Starfleet learned something from the Control incident over a century ago.

If the whole Control/Section 31 incident was also deleted from Starfleet's records along with all records and history of Discovery and its crew, then I'm not surprised that by 130 years later no one inside Starfleet would have any recollection about Control and its activities.

And Section 31 clearly has all the incentives to keep them hidden so their past and current schemes would never get exposed by the higher ups within Starfleet HQ.
 
And Lore could show up. We last left him in Descent, albeit deactivated. What became of him then is unknown. I would love to see Spiner take on that character again.
Yup, I proposed a while back that his appearance might be the big cliff hanger at the end of S1. If they adopt a more Westworld-style, multi-season story arc, then the synth plot could easily be continued into S2.
 
Interesting about de Lancie. It does kind of resemble him. I’m hoping it isn’t, though. Much as I’d like a Q story, I think that would be too many narratives boiled together and it might start feeling like empty fan service. But hey, Season 2? :)

Again, there is speculation that Q will appear in the final episode. Part of me hopes he doesn't though. The basic problem is you just know that if Q gets back in contact with PIcard he's not going to leave well enough alone - he's going to do something tell him that when he finally kicks the bucket he's going to come to the Q continuum or something. And it's going to take a lot of the tension out of the show as a result. Or even worse, just magic Data back into being.
 
I agree that it isn’t fair to compare anyone to Picard, a character we have known and loved for so long. But I actually really like almost all of Discovery’s characters, especially Michael and Saru. I’m not sure how my comment about the lack of believable chemistry/sense of family implies anything else.

I've watched some very touching scenes between Michael and Saru. There is also a very very different realationship dynamic between Saru and Michael vs. Jean Luc and Dajh. For much of the first season it was adversarial/sibling rivalry whereas the brief relationship between Jean-Luc and Dajh was of a granfather figure and a lost and vulnerable young woman. Its a relationship that is intended to be deeply sympathetic, where as Michael and Saru's for much of the first season, not so much.

I don't see that coming.
Lore was waaay to big a threat and Data knew after the last time that Lore should never be able to be reactivated in any way, shape or form.
Lore may be mentioned, but it would go against everything Data stood for to let anybody experiment with Lore's remains.
 
There was a scene in an earlier promo trailer of a conversation between Picard and an older bearded man who is lying on a bed, perhaps dying from an illness.

Could this man be Maddox? Or
could he be Q, because beneath his beard, the man looked like John de Lancie to me :bolian::bolian:
As much as I would love to see "Q" again...
THIS is NOT John De Lanci...

Though it could be another actor playing Maddox.

(perhaps Picard and his new Gang have just saved this guy from being held by the Romulans?)

This is the most recent pic of Brian Brophy I could find...
(he's one year younger than me - 60)

Looks more like an aged Bashir than anything. Though it's obviously not him either.
 
I'm not afraid of Artificial Intelligence. I'm afraid of Artificial Stupidity.

Automated phone lines, mixed up GPSs, terrible voice recognition. I fully believe it'll take until the 24th Century to develop an android like Data. You need 400 years just to work out all the bugs.

I'm from the South. I TORTURE the talk-to-text feature on my phone (It's supposed to be "Text Michael" not "Tax Michael" :rolleyes: ).
 
heh ...
I'm thinking that They are not going to use another actor to play "Q" when DeLancie is still very much around, no matter how badly They may want to fake out the viewers.
(especially since Stewart just went on National TV and invited Whoopie to come back for Season 2)

In a couple of years, it may be "torturing" you.
(if it isn't already) :techman:
