Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

[Lord Garth]

Not a single Trek series before Discovery was shorted to ST_. Series were either named after the first letters of their names following Star Trek (TOS, TNG, DS9) or the first three letters of their names (VOY, ENT).

I actually don't like that people use DSC - I strongly prefer DIS for Discovery. DSC makes no sense.

It's a matter of how it looks. It's no more to it than that. I like "DSC" better than "DIS". Not that I mind if people use "DIS". On the other hand, I like "VOY" better than "VGR", the latter of which was used by the Star Trek Encyclopedia.

How can there be a Last and Next Generation?

How can there be a Last and Next Generation?

The season final is called The Last Generation. I am glad that Terry has confirmed that the episode will not literally be about ‘the last generation’. The title sounded ominous at first.

It still strikes me as a bit nonsensical. Unless "Last" means "Previous" in which case just call it the "Previous Generation" and the "New Generation." Or with Terry's predilection of liking "Legacy" go with "The Legacy Generation" and the "Next Generation."

I don't know. It's grammatically odd, and is annoying my pedantic side.

At first it read to me as that the episode would be about the last generation…. ever.

Like The ‘Last’ of the Mohicans.

DISCOVERY kinda broke the fanbase into different silos. STP and STLD have been used for years on YouTube, Reddit...

STP for Prodigy, right? Or wait, is that for Picard? If only there were a simpler abbreviation to distinguish these different shows.

That's how it reads to me and that's fine but don't double back on it then. Irritating.

I believe I recall Mike McMahon suggesting Lower Decks was LDS.

I adore that.

Yeah in reference to Star Trek 4.

Like The ‘Last’ of the Mohicans.

I thought about that, then dismissed it after less than a second. They have too much stuff going on the future: the 29th Century, the 31st, the 32nd... I can see them writing off Captain Braxton and Daniels as "Possible Futures" but they promoted the later seasons of DSC as "The Future". And I don't see them calling Disco a "Possible Future" at this stage.

So I took "The Last Generation" to mean "The Previous Generation". Let's be honest: "The Last Generation" sounds a lot better for a title than "The Previous Generation".

I like the sound of The Quondam Generation myself.

Thanks for the warning!

I honestly see one MAYBE two potential real spoilers there. One of which has been assumed for some time. The other which could have several different connotations.

Spoiler: Soundtrack

The first is “Where It All Began” which likely has to do with the Enterprise-D.

The next is “The Missing Part of Me” which could suggest a death, it could be about Riker talking to Troi about Thad’s death, it could be about Data, it could be about Beverly and Jean Luc (even though that’s not really been a thing this season) or it could be about Seven/Raffi. Or it could be something completely different.

I really hope we get to see O'Brien on Frontier Day.

Not really a spoiler, but one of the tracks is "Must Come to an End" which is the end of the 'All Good Things' proverb

Hopefully the stars is their version of TUC ending.

betting it’s more “Names Mean Everything” but I’d be shocked if we didn’t get a sign off

OMG this actress of Sidney La Forge, man she's so so cute and adorable
