"...an astronaut on some sort of Star Trek 400 years in the future..."

I haven't seen the TOS episode since bloody forever, but the special effects sequence used when Pseudo-Laris pushes Picard into a CG door were a near-lock for that stuff, weren't they?

Genuinely asking, because I haven't gotten around to comparing them. But that's what I've seen said here and there.

Guinan: So Cris, let's just for the moment assume that what you're saying is indeed true, and that you have indeed somehow recently arrived from a future where money does not exist and everyone works to better themselves. How do you explain having developed an obvious addiction to cigars in the future that you describe?

Compared to what we saw on Picard (at about 3:20)...

Roberta Lincoln might have given up her job to someone else .... running into Seven and Raffi...

I would consider worker-owned co-ops to be a form of socialism in miniature. An economy primarily built on worker-owned co-ops would not only be a socialist economy, it would be my preferred form of socialist economy.



Why? Are you saying some cultures are superior to others?

And bear in mind that the United States has never had the same overall culture.



If that were true, Star Trek would be a white supremacist show. It is not, and Star Trek does not depict humanity as monocultural.



Because Guinan's presence allowed the writers to dramatize certain themes this season is exploring.



Who gives a shit?



Yeah. The only time I've ever seen de-aging work in a way that felt truly seamless and unnoticeable was when they used it on Alfred Molina and Willem Defoe in Spider-Man: No Way Home. I doubt Star Trek: Picard has a Marvel Studios-level budget.



I'm pretty sure this isn't the last time we'll see Guinan.



That makes sense.



100% agreed.

You know my eyes played tricks on me. When you say. Who gives a shit I thought you said. Who gives a shirt. Thought for a second T'Bonz might have sold the board to some Mormons or something and they decided to start cleaning house by fixing the naughty words.

History happened to her and history has not be kind to certain groups of people, she made it clear in the episode.

It was also the day she was packing up to leave so was clearly sad and angry rather than the usual chilled Guinan.
