That was my thought as well, but the "ring ship" look also stood out, kinda like the DY-100 and the ring ship pictured in TMP had a baby.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x04 - "Watcher"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
It's Latin for one who swears an oath.
Edit: Since Agnes also means holy, I presume that the odd choice in name combinations was meant to signify something regarding her character as it was originally conceived.
Well, when two spaceships love each other very very much...
They become 25% different.
What's so odd about a Greek name combined with Latin name?
James Kirk is an Old French name (via Hebrew, Greek and Latin) paired with a Scottish name I doubt GR thought about the meaning of each when naming the character. It's a firm sounding, leader like name, Good for a CO.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Quick thoughts, since I'm a few days late:
- Without going into the whole lack of nuance aspect, I hope the Rios storyline is actually going somewhere, rather than just drawing things out.
- Jurati continues to be awesome
- I was sure from the description Guinan gave that the "watcher" was going to be Q. It would have made a lot more sense than pseudo-Laris seems to, but hopefully they'll have a worthwhile explanation.
- On that note, this season seems built around revealing mysteries. What's the future-changing event? What's wrong with Q? What's Picard's memory which he keeps going back to? Trek doesn't have a great record of sticking the landing in longer-term storytelling, and if they fail to do so here it will be a real waste of a promising start.

Ducane from Relativity.My most important question about this episode is ‘who watches the watchers’?
Would be cool if the mysterious aliens that trained Gary Seven and others like him turn out to be the Relativity and similar ships. Gary said they're pulled from the time of crisis, then trained for years. Scotty said the beam could be from another time. Relativity pulled Seven from her time of crisis to train her, then sent her back to prevent the crisis. It would connect one of the most interesting TOS and VOY episodes in a PIC episode, creating a magic, perfect, logical, blissful triangle.
I'm pretty sure it's not a test
SpaceX is gonna land on Europa!
That must be why Lorca mentioned him
There's an audio drama where the 7th Doctor, who has a Scottish accent, is accompanied by a Nazi named Elizabeth Klein. Klein notes his 'high Prussian accent' even though we only hear his Scots accent, and she speaks with an English accent. I'd say the TARDIS translates everything into the language the hearer knows well, and gives variants based on what they're most familiar with. The audience largely hears British accents because that's who the show is made for.
Donna and ten went into this in Ancient Rome. Ten was in a coma during the Christmas invasion, and the translator function broke down.
This as something Steve Shives pointed out in this recent review of the season do far, we have a lot of story threads out there but nothing seems to be getting addressed or solved.
Icheb got solved.

Chabon seemed to put a lot of thought into details and especially names. Beautiful Flower, Nepenthe etc.
Doesn’t even need to be that. Even in a war it could be something tiny or one person living or dying. Churchill and Hitler both fought in World War One. Someone goes back and takes one of them out and World War One still plays out pretty similar. Whatever the change is might not actually lead to its big effect until later domino style.

If we look back at all of the talk about Times Arrow not happening then the same applied to Futures End. So we’ve no idea if he’s dead or alive.
What we do know is he won’t have received a 29th Century Federation Timeship.
So he ends up as a gigantic ass and POTUS of the US. Star Trek's version of Donald Trump.
So, why a manned mission to Europa? You can't really land on it and survive in habitats like Mars (at least not easily) so what's gotten from sending people to Europa other than to say we did/can?
