Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

LOL, speaking as a Welsh person, it really, really isn't. The word 'dahj' does not exist in Welsh. Neither does the letter 'j', except in borrowed words.

hey, that's what Google told me.
And who am I to argue with them?

Voyager depicted Utopia Planitia as having extensive facilities in orbit as well. Did the synths get those too?

In that case, does anybody have an idea what dahj might mean?

"Obligatory sacrificial lamb"?

We saw the synth-controlled flyer drones destroy what looked like a large Babylon-5-esque space station, and also ground facilities. We didn’t see them actually destroy any shipyards or other ships, but that obviously happened off-screen.

It's what she should have done when the Romulan agent spat acid at her.

a large Babylon-5-esque space station,

Looked like the typical Federation Mushroom shape to me. Like, it isn't Spacedock style, but clearly inspired by it.

I generally classify it as:
Old Trek = 1966-2005
New Trek = 2009-Present

"NuTrek", to me, specifically means the Kelvin Timeline. I think of it as a sub-set of New Trek.
Just like "Classic Trek", to me, specifically means TOS. I think of it as a sub-set of Old Trek.

Classic (and best) Trek 1966 - 1986

Old Trek: 1987 - 2005

Nu Trek: 2009 - Present

Almost certainly and even if they didn't get them, they'd presumably be pointless without the resources from the surface.

Even though Im not a fan of the spinoffs including The Next Generation.
I liked the sensibility and tonality of this..
all it needs is Kirk, Spock, Uhura ect, and it would be perfect.

Oh, so it’s true. There are people who only like TOS

Why doesnt Earth have a defensive shield like Vashti? It would make all the movies and about a quarter of the episodes obsolete.

You answered your own question.

@fireproof78 - RomNinja'd!

Earth has a fleet, it doesn’t need a defence grid.

 

[SJGardner]

It's like asking why the Enterprise is always the only starship in range, no matter where it is.

Because plot convenience. That's Starfleet General Order 2.

You read the whole rule book? I just skipped ahead to General Order 69.

 

[cooleddie74]

I WROTE GENERAL ORDER 69.

KILL ALL JEDI...in the most erotic way possible.

UNLIMITED RAUNCH!!!!!!

Because it would just be another obstacle for the writers. Another mention that needed to be made or else people would be screaming.

I WROTE GENERAL ORDER 69.

That explains a lot.
