Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x01 - "The Next Generation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Patrick Stewart wouldn't have come back otherwise. He's also an executive producer, I'm sure a condition of him returning, so yes that means he gets a certain amount of control over the character.
I'm still trying to figure out why a one-off line about a planets name is such a big deal...
Because people will complain about anything they can.
And people disagree.
Maybe. Or maybe he really is just making the Trek that he likes the most. I mean if he loved the TOS movies and the music in the movies as he's stated, I could definitely get the sense from watching the episode. To me, it feels (so far) like enough to still exist in the same universe but still be its own thing.
In New Trek its always bad.I'm still trying to figure out why a one-off line about a planets name is such a big deal...
It's not like it hasn't been done before.
A reminder that Tom Riker, AFAIK, is still alive somewhere.
I hope so. Doesn't feel like it so far.
Well i suppose the only good thing about how they make these tv shows now is that you can easily just dodge entire seasons and story arcs and it has no real impact on the ones you do watch.....so i suppose in a way everyone wins. Ha
Nothing after 2005 counts for me. It's awesome. Other people have even earlier years.
You're missing a lot of great stuff.
Well obviously not if I don't like it in the first place. SNW was ok.
I was thinking the same thing. Tom Riker wouldn't want to be around Troi, because she would sense the truth about him. Beverly told Picard not to trust Starfleet, and I'm sure that that is going to come back around at some point.
Same. Captain Pike is the best. Nothing could follow it.
Sure. My guess is that the plan was for each season to address a specific loose end with Picard. So S1 was all about AI that tied in with Data, S2 was about tying up loose ends with Q and the Borg and S3 will be the grand finale, one final TNG adventure that will wrap up the Picard arc. And if S1 and S2 had been better, that could have worked great. But while S1 and S2 had some good moments, S1 and S2 were a mess IMO. Since S1 and S2 were bad overall, the plan fell apart.
Well Deanna is going to be in the show this season at some point.
Was great to see Laris. I'm glad she didn't get Zhaban'd. As for the rest this all hits right in my breadbox and frankly the TNG crew could be filmed throwing rocks through my windows and I'd give it a 9.
I gave this an 8. It's good and solid but since its also mostly set up and I think the show has an opportunity to hit me with some 9s and 10s down the line. There is nothing I outright disliked about the episode. I paused and checked the time a few times because I didn't want the episode to end. Riker was great in it so I hope it's the real Riker. I already have the Titan theme stuck in my head. I love the TOS movie soundtracks so I absolutely loved the music in Spacedock.
So just to respond to my own question here - I rewatched the shuttle scene and Riker mentions he had some sway with the Titan. So I take it as he asked Starfleet if he and Picard could conduct a surprise inspection of the Titan since that was his old ship
