Spoilers Picard 1x1, "Remembrance"

[Yistaan]

If I'm reading these spoilers correctly then

Spoiler

the Federation is indirectly responsible for stranding Spock in the Kelvin Timeline. If they had continued with evacuation, he wouldn't have needed to risk his life with red matter and the supernova. And Spock himself would have been aware of this.

Elderly frail ambassador Spock was the only one who could smuggle in Red Matter from Vulcan and save Romulus. He made an uncharacteristic promise to the Romulans to save them because he felt guilty about the Federation abandoning them. That's how we got the unlikely situation of an old half-Vulcan being the only one trying to save Romulus.

Yes and this is a BIG spoiler, so proceed at your own risk....

Spoiler

Picard persuaded the UFP/Starfleet to mount a massive evacuation with 10,000 ships. It was supposed to rescue 900 million Romulans. The rescue fleet was being built at Utopia Planitia.

After the synth attack wrecked the in-progress fleet, Starfleet abandoned their rescue plans. Picard threatened to resign unless they changed their minds. They didn't. Picard resigned.

The rescue fleet....never happened.

It's not clear with the Romulan casualty numbers were or what their reaction was or what the political state even is between Romulus and the UFP.

Picard's Romulan friends suggest the Tal Shiar was involved in the attack, but Picard doesn't believe they would have sabotaged their own rescue.

This makes me wonder if Prequel the comic was written ages ago or something.

Spoiler

I read the comics and there's nothing in it that contradicts the spoilers. If anything, it clarifies why the comic takes place in 2385 when the supernova happens in 2387.

All the comics so far take place pre-synth attack.

Spoiler

Yeah, but in the comic the Romulans that hijack his ship say that they don't think the fleet is a rescue fleet

Spoiler

And that will probably be resolved next issue and forgotten the moment the synth attack happens. Plus the Romulans aren't even in coordination--that was a local vain governor and they had those Tal Shiar defectors who believed Picard was helping.

They're not seemingly putting essential info into this comic. Otherwise the synth attack would have been in it.

Since the Borg cube is basically a rehabilitation centre for ex Borg, is that where 7 current resides? As a worker/scientist like Hugh. Perhaps even in charge of the whole operation? That would make sense she would ask Picard why he was there.

Anyway, how was Dahj killed and who by? (Sorry if already answered).

Sa

Picard finally caught up with Voyager on Netflix and promptly quit Starfleet.

Same thing happened to me.

 

[Datasbeard]

@Crewman6, if you’re not tired of us yes, I’ve got a couple more for you. Do we see any Romulan ships in the first three episodes? And do we get a good look at La Sirena? Or is it more Discovery-style, dark and blurry?

Yes.

Yes.

Spoiler

Haven't read the comic, but this seems to jibe with a suggestion in the series that the Tal Shiar may have had a hand in the synth attack.

Spoiler

We don't see Seven on the cube. I would guess no, based on what we see of her in the trailers and what the cube looks like.

As to your second question, Dahj is killed by the secret Romulan commandos who infiltrate Earth. She dies in the fight scene glimpsed in the trailers which is outside Starfleet HQ and her death is witnessed by Picard.

 

[DEWLine]

It's an effort by far-right publications to tank the ratings

This does not surprise me at all. Disgusting, but unsurprising.

 

[Crewman6]

Are there flashback sequences during the episodes?

Spoiler

There is a flashback scene with Picard and Rizzo. It's right after Picard resigned from Starfleet and he explains what happened, re: Starfleet turning its back on the rescue fleet plan.

 

[Crewman6]

@Crewman6, it’s just occurred to me... are these spoilers all isolated to the first episode? Might be some folk who don’t come in here until they’ve seen the first episode, who may unintentionally see spoilers for other episodes, otherwise?

The spoilers are from the first three. Which is why I'm still spoiler tagging everything.

And I'm only answering questions, not writing episode synopses. I honestly can't remember where each episode began and ended anyway.

So, as always, click spoiler at your own risk.

 

[Crewman6]

Wow, thanks for providing spoilers, @Crewman6 . It seems some of my speculation the past couple months turned out to be true, especially Dahj's identity. It's very interesting about Maddox's involvement in all of this, as there was talk that one Andorid seen in the trailers (F-8) looked an awful lot like Brian Brophy.

I do find it odd

Spoiler

that Starfleet would just up and cancel the rescue armada after the Synth attack, though. Move forward at a reduced scope, sure, but not abandon the efforts completely. I'm guessing that's indication they know who was really behind the attack...

Look, I don't think the show is perfect. I think it has some problems and you identified one of them. I don't quite buy that sequence of events.

That's how we got the unlikely situation of an old half-Vulcan being the only one trying to save Romulus.

IIRC, in the 2009 Countdown comic, the Federation Council debated for way too long whether to give the Romulans their Red Matter, which can be used as a heavy WMD of course, and ultimately decided not to. That's why Spock did it by himself, and was too late for Romulus, and why Nero hates the whole Federation in STXI. Seems that sill kinda fits with PIC then.

 

[Lord Garth]

I feel bad for Crewman6.

 

[ICW]

This also serves as a reminder that we (probably) don't know the whole story yet.

Pretty much.

I'm beginning to wonder if this show will even have episode titles.
