During Raffi's little search of upcoming events she selects frontier day and Top left corner, there's a picture of the Voy-B. you gotta slow it down to see it.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x01 - "The Next Generation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Talk about "Obvious Villain Ship".The Shrike
Give them all sorts of pointy claw like appendages on your StarShip.
Story summary so far...
The good:
Dedication to Annie
I don't want to set the world on fire by the Ink Spots
Galoob MM Galaxy
The redangel lady being Rachel Garrett
The jokes really work, great and not clumsy humor!
Great ship scenes, camera lingers on them and you can actually see them
Nice music callbacks, epic soundtrack
Love letter to Okuda's work in the end credits
Even more EM models are now prop replicas
The bad: Red and blue uniform colors are too dark, why not more like the perfect yellow ones?
And the ugly: Nothing!
The medical relief ship Eleos is attacked by 3 smaller ships and boarded by those bird mask people. Beverly fights them with a FC rifle that has more red lights and a shotgun-like pump action feature (?). She's badly injured, sends a coded distress call, and puts herself into a stasis pod.
Picard receives it on his old communicator (scene shown already), and meets Riker in a bar to figure out what to do. Frontier Day is coming up, and they decide to try a surprise inspection of the new Titan-A to get onto the ship. The new Captain is not impressed at all, dismisses them, and when they pull rank, he reminds them that the Admiral is retired and the Captain doesn't have command of this ship. Hilarious scene when we see the accommodations he provided for them. Seven is the first officer, and they convince her as a friend to take them seriously. Seven orders the ship to go to Beverly's coordinates. When the Captain wakes up and sees that they're not where they're supposed to be, he gets mad and dismisses Seven from duty, but she has helped Riker and Picard steal a shuttle...
Raffi is in some kind of alien town, similar to the Orion outpost at the end of Disco S1, and tries to get information from an Orion. She seems like a weak outcast, desperate and destroyed, but turns out to now work undercover for SF intelligence. Her 'handler' only communicates by text and refuses all her requests for a personal meeting. She is told to look for the red lady. It turns out the red lady is the statue of Rachel Garrett at a SF recruitment center, but when Raffi gets there with what seems to be La Sirena, the building is destroyed with portal tech that lets the whole thing drop through the ground and then fall from the sky. On the Eleos, the new young guy initially holds Riker hostage, but then trusts them enough to help. He says he's Jack Crusher, Beverly's son. The Shrike arrives and... more next week, I guess

A USS Constance might become important later
Presumably lost at Wolf 359 during The Best of Both Worlds, Part II?
That Transporter Portal weapon that can literally drop an entire building onto somebody's head is REALLY scary.
Probably the ship Shaw served on.
The Captain Shaw character is definitely drawn along the lines of Captain Quint.
I can see him causing the antagonist of the show a lot of problems for a bit, but eventually being killed off in some horribly appropriate manner.
The power drain must be astronomical.

What is the deal with the USS Constance in the end credits? There's some description about the ship with some passages classified. Maybe some sort of foreshadowing?
That's actually making a hell lot of sense now given that
Captain Shaw was present at the battle of Wolf 359 and holds a grudge against the Borg. Also explains his averseness towards Seven.. I mean Commander Hansen
Ah, barely readable
Oh, and that'll be the second new STO ship. Pathfinder-class.
Dammit - missed that. Can you remember where in the episode it popped up?
This felt like a TNG movie. A good one.
This is what more of Seasons 1 and 2 should have felt like. Still not sure how I'd grade it but I very much liked it. A lot.

I do wonder why Jonathan and Gates were credited as "Special Guest Stars" and not part of the Main cast line up.
Also love the tribute they did at the end for Annie Wersching since she recently passed away.

Very Narada-like and about as predictable as sunrises and taxes, but I did like the ominous music.
Hail them and you get "I'm Captain Kevin Sorbo and I'd like to speak to you about Christianity....I mean I'm Captain Dylan Hunt of the..." well you can see where I'm going
Would 100% be the best cameo in Trek ever
Perhaps the TNG cast are only credited when they actually appear in an episode?
I think that was worse than the S2 premier. It just felt so disjointed, like a set of tropes mashed up together.
I feel like this comes down to whether you like the Troi/Riker episode from S1... that episode really didn't do much for me, so I totally get the reviewers that hated the episodes they've seen and see it as nothing but a mess of nostalgia, poor written exposition scenes, and tropes.
But I'm not going to stop watching this, so the best I can do is hope it doesn't go down the shitter like S2 did.
