Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x04 - "Absolute Candor"

Really glad to see more Romulans, there always seemed to be so much unexplored hidden depth.

Why you would make him look so much like an elf and THEN name him Elnor-- I don't get it. He's an elf. A mean elf, but an elf.

 

That's the impression I was getting. I don't think I've seen Trek do that before.

 

I could definitely see the Intendant (Mirror Kira Nerys) being involved in something like that.

(Also, I just got promoted. SQUEEEEE.)

 

Kirk in Wink of an Eye is one example.

 

Welcome to 'Star Trek - Game of Thrones' crossover episode .

 

I like that They are portraying some of the Romulans as real bad-ass characters willing to do whatever it takes to advance their own fortunes.
A Society that seems to relish the worst in their citizens.

Completely different from most of the Klingons we've seen.

 

If I didn't say it enough last week, Peyton List as a Romulan is pretty much the best idea anyone has ever had.

 

Chabon & Co must be LOTR fans. And yes, Elves, Romulans, and Vulcans are distant cousins .

 

Please, Battlestar Galactica had a beheading in 1979. Why do people want to meme Game of Thrones as being the be all and end all of everything?

 

I was thinking more Resurrection: Picard.

 

It gets credited for pioneering a lot of stuff it didn't actually pioneer.

 

Especially with how it ended. You’d think they would want to distance themselves from that

 

Especially as a Ruthless-Will-Use-Sex-As-A-Weapon, Romulan.

I'd pretty much bend over backward for her.

 

Rich Corinthian Leather.

 

Oh gods, it's started! Only 4 episodes into a trek series and I'm already obsessing over inconsequential details. That Romulan phrase/greeting Picard keeps repeating; I know I've heard it or something very much like it before, but in Vulcan and I'm about 80% sure it was a Nimoy line. Was it something Spock said to Sarek? Something said in 'Unification'? This is going to bug me for a while...

 

Yep... Jolan tru.
It's essentially HELLO in Romulan.

 

Honestly, it's like you can't go to a message board without seeing someone offering up some variation of Darmok and Jalad at King's Landing.

 

Because GoT was one of the most watched TV series on earth and almost all Millennial generation folks would've watched it (until it melted down in its final two seasons).

Sadly few younger generation folks would've watched the original BSG - although many would've seen the New/Ron Moore's BSG.

Full disclosure: I did watch both original and New BSG, but what do I know? I'm a Gen X, not a Millennial

 

Some people’s memories seem to go back only so far I guess.

 

Or 'Tyrion! His arms wide!!'
