It's an easy way to prove someone's mettle and catch them doing wrong.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x01 - "The Next Generation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I'm just going to grab some popcorn and settle in to see the inevitable storm that follows this
Little late, people already responded to the post. No storm.
Perhaps Captain Shaw sees a potentially superior StarFleet Officer in Seven and is simply harder on her than he would be on anyone else?
Especially since he wanted her as his Number One.
If Seven has not officially had her name changed from Hanson on her StarFleet record, then Shaw would have every right to call her by that name as her superior.
He may perhaps be reminding her that not everyone she encounters during her career to eventually commanding her own ship, will be polite or understanding of her past as a Borg.
He may also see Picard & Riker as potential hinderances to her growth as an Officer, especially since they helped her get into Star Fleet to being with.

I think they were just using an idiom.Little late, people already responded to the post. No storm.
Yep, while it can be about deferring to someone who is paid more, it also means “not my job” and “that’s for someone with greater authority.”
To add to this, Matalas on Twitter said (regarding the phaser held to Riker's neck) "...his own modded old school phaser. They’ve been on their own for a while so they rely on old tech."My personal justification for the stupid pump-action phaser is that it was old and faulty. In my mind, normally you have to pump it once to activate it and that's all but because it no longer works properly Beverly has to prime it before every shot, and the power cell is almost completely run down.
As far as I'm concerned, that bolsters my excuse for the eccentricities of the funky rifle.
So when do we think Geordi is going to bring a dead Sydney to the bridge for Picard to see? You know, the old Engineer, the keen young family member, the little training cruise....
Episode 4.
Alternatively, imagine Sydney "trying" to carry Geordi to the bridge.
Exactly. They explicitly didn't have people say stuff like 'hey wassup maaan' in 90s Trek for that reason
Sure, change everything else, future sets, future tech, future clothes, future society, future travel, but you gotta keep the language contemporary
And what is not understandable in previous Trek?
Instagram is just awful. I never understood why people seem to love it so much.
Everyone remember that in all your next discussions. We can close the board!

Nice post. Yeah I guess the people that watch TOS, TNG, DS9,VOY abd ENTcan't understand them because they were loaded with tech babble and no 21st century slang. Lol
I went to a job training seminar years ago and the only useful thing they did was get everyone there to start up new emails that actually had our given names, rather than jokes or pop culture refences.
One of the women had an email that indicated that she was a stripper who was very good at her job. I'm sad that I can't remember the actual email, because it was probably hilarious.
This concept art of the Titan entering the Ryton system, the ship is clearly not labelled Titan. I wonder if the hero ship had a different name at one point In development.

Perhaps They hadn't even decided what name to give it yet.
Might also be that the artist just left it off.
The ship is labelled, it’s just not called Titan.
Don't be a Herbert.
Actually I think they may skip that and we'll just see another Geordi roll under the blast door (which his daughter fails to emulate, and thus dies behind the door.) They may not do every TOS movie trope, if they replace it with a TNG trope.
I wonder when they're going to have Geordi next to the work course screaming they've got a coolant leak, he can't shut the warp core down, and the warp core ejection system isn't working; and he estimates 2 minutes to a warp core breach.
So, Frontier day is the Day the NX 01 launched, ok.
