Spoilers Season 2 Trailers, Previews, and Promos

[Therin of Andor]

Maybe this thread should have a spoiler tag in the title?
Flags! I don't remember, did we see the TNG Era UFP emblem in Season 1?

Sheldon really needs to do that new episode of "Fun With Flags".

Should I have a disclaimer in my sig, that my opinion is my own? And no matter how wrong everyone else's opinion is, I will still express mine as I see fit

I dunno. It saved me having to keep saying the obvious.

Picard Season One definitely had the feeling of, "I want to do one last hurrah."

Retirement didn't agree with him and felt like death.

Trek movie has a new interview with John Delancie he says alot of the story plot of season two is connected to Star Trek the Next Generation series finale All Good things and that he had finished filming his scenes for season 2.He mentions Q 's line about the trial hadn't ended yet being an important part of Picard season 2 and how interesting a journey Picard will have this season.

My only worry, and I'd get over it but it'd bother me, is that Jurati isn't behind proverbial bars paying for her actions. The lighting in her spotlight shot suggests a dire locale, but it could just as easily be a ship with its power flickering or some seedy neighborhood world. I don't abhor the character and Alison Pill has done her best but man, that's the biggest ball-drop of the first season IMO. Worse than the one-note Narissa and the vanishing of Narek at the end. lol

Dude, Picard blew up a bunch of aliens under mind control once.

That's an automatic not guilty.

She was all zapped by Mind Meld wackiness.

Absolutely not. The Orville is a fun little show, but the fact that it's written by a bunch of cishet white guys who are blind to the experiences of marginalized communities is painfully obvious. The decision to deal with LGBT issues by using aliens who are coded as gay is problematic -- why not just have some gay people on the show instead? There are only three black people in the cast, no Latinos or Asians -- the show is very disproportionately white compared to reality.

But frankly most damning of all, there's a lot of latent misogyny in The Orville. The show constantly slut shames Kelly, and gives a pass to some really toxic behavior on Ed's part. The worst example being when Kelly got a boyfriend and Ed literally started stalking them. And then, the writers had her new boyfriend defend Ed for stalking them, as though that behavior is in any way okay or acceptable! It wasn't like the show depicted him doing a bad thing and then said, "But that's bad" -- the narrative itself endorsed his stalking his ex.

I'm not here to make a big fuss about The Orville's problems. I mostly enjoy it. But it is way less progressive than it realizes, and there's a lot of misogyny there. Seth MacFarlane needs to stay far, far away from canonical Star Trek if this is the stuff he produces.

There's also the fact the show has a very condescending view of religion and traditionalism to Star Trek. Gene's vision or not, religion is constantly treated as moronic and evil to society.

But yes, I would state that it is not particularly LATENT misogyny.

This is fantastic art for being vaguely but not overtly unsettling with the Federation symbol resembling a skeletal hand embracing the galaxy.

 

[NCC-73515]

I interpreted it as complete circles, not a grabbing hand

Expect Picard season 3 to be war with the Klingons

Excellent opportunity for a Worf spinoff. hehe

This is from a july rticle, but I missed it until now.
De Lancie says:
"I come back – not in a walker, but close to it. It’s my final carryings on with Jean-Luc Picard.”

I hope that doesn't mean it's a swan song for Jean-Luc...

There's going to be a third Season, so no.

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

Ah, true, I thought he was talking about s3.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Perhaps Q is moving on to his next level of existence?

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

And this juicy gem....

If that was intentional, than bravo.

You know I think someone here might have pointed out the double use for the Queen of Hearts back when it released, but I could be wrong.

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

No, we did speculate about the cards, both wrt Q and to the BQ.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Oh you guys did, sorry. Honestly do they have to bring her back? I'm not keen on this.

I remember way back when the first episode aired. the opening scene with Picard and Data playing poker, Data's winning hand was all Queens had people speculating that symbolized either Q or the Borg Queen would be significant in the first season.

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

Yes, that's what I said.
