Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x01 - "The Next Generation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I didn't skip it, I disagreed with it.
Because it was using an Enterprise-D Codec.
The proper Federation SF? That would have been the same year or after the founding of the Federation, no?
Picard even said he didn't think she would do it unless she had no choice. Your mad that a character that was about to be killed killed her attackers in self defense? What in the world? Seems like nitpicking just to nitpick
Must also say that the fan service feels like a sleight of hand, drool over the million Easter eggs and nostalgia drops whilst they shoehorn in a well worn plot that you aren't probably paying as much attention to anyway.
Then it comes back to that old question....do you want fan service for your final season or a deep rooted fresh faced plot?
Rios and Jurati well missed already this season.

SO then Beverly is really lucky Picard still had that old communicator in his home AND happened to be in the process of moving so that he could hear it. Just seems too convenient.
And I don't see how that would change my post.
Do you not understand how a straw man works?
Speaking of screens, has anyone else tried to watch on an ultrawide 21:9 display and find that you can't *actually* watch in full screen? It seems Paramount + adds the black bars to the bottom for 16:9 screens. I've been able to watch shows and movies in true fullscreen on this display so I'm not sure why it isn't possible on P+.
They might have had an earlier version of Starfleet before the proper Starfleet was created.
At best it looks like what you'd get from a properly modded installation of Bridge Commander with the superior fan-made ships. But it still looked video game-esque, and I'm hardly alone in that observation.
This shot was one of the most glaring.
MMV but IMO, your picture brightness/contrast settings are not optimized.

Try lowering the brightness until the background stars are still visible but the black sky closely matches the letter and pillar boxes.

Sooooooooo many 'memberberries. This definitely pushed every nostalgia button I had, and maybe a few I didn't know I had. The interaction between Picard and Riker would have been worth the price of admission alone. I don't have much for the Titan, though its "Neo-Constitution" form factor definitely brought up some fond memories of the Enterprise A.
Some of the scenes were disjointed, and it kind of falls a little heavy on the "rule of cool" trope a bit much, but it's all in good fun, and I'm along for the ride. I kind of feel like this should have been how the entire Picard series started, but it is what it is, and I look forward to future episodes.

It's a photo of a screen, that's not and rarely ever is a true representation of what it looks like to the eye. I took a quick shot just to point out the scene that stuck out the most to me.
Doing that only makes the already dark interior shots that much darker. And doesn't change the fact that the shot in question looks like it's out of a 20-year-old video game.

Oh sure, on ENT they called it Starfleet, but that one was (potentially) founded in the 2130's. So a bit early for the 250th anniversary here. Even if you went with ENT's first season in 2151, that would still have Picard in 2401.
I'm not sure they'd make this big a deal over an Earth-centric version of SF, but I'm hoping they explain it a little better.
Beautiful episode with slightly over the top nostalgia.
Pacing felt a little off at times, especially the Rafi scenes which didn’t really fit together on a coherent timeline.
Apart from that it really felt like a Star Trek movie. The music was superb, i never was a fan of the low-key Alex Kurtzman era scores. Now let’s hope that the rest of the season keeps the pace, unlike the 2 previous seasons which also started great but eventually profoundly declined from a storytelling pov…

I wouldn't actually hate if that son ended up being Beverly and Picard's son from Beverly's missing year on TNG.
But I highly dislike the Titan-A. To me it just doesn't fit in as a post-TNG ship. And it makes even less sense as a "refit" to the original Titan. Why even bother to call that thing a Titan? Give it a different name. Honestly they should have just used the Titan we know.
Not sure how I feel about Seven using her human name. I always thought she should, but it shouldn't be forced on her either.

I have a feeling by the end of the season she'll be going by Seven again. Or whenever the captain isn't around.
She clearly doesn't like it, and Captain Shaw seems to have an issue with Ex-Borg which may be why he's forcing it on her.
