Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

just as in the trailer, right?
He wasn't wearing the jacket in the trailer.

New teaser poster By Terry Matalas posted on Twitter.
Posted last page, that's what we've been talking about.

Worf: "I prefer to be called a pacifist now."
(Ignore the giant sword on my back with the pointy grip that would totally stab me in the back of the head if I got head-butted, as Klingons do)
I mean to be fair, he did say 'prefers' not that he's completely pacifist. We even see him fighting Raffi.
 
Indeed. It goes back to Roddenberry wiping some TOS canon off the map with TNG and then declaring that whatever is new is now canon. The only difference now is that both fans and showrunners have social media to complain about it, making studio interference seem like a modern thing when it's absolutely not. I suspect that PIC had about as much interference as TNG did in its first two seasons, if not even more.
 
Now the fans can safely vent via Twitter (Back in the day, the Trek writers' rooms were just FLOODED with mail from angry fans! :eek: )
 
Twitter can cause some really odd effects to shows

Film Theory on youtube did something on the recently, showing some theories that

1) Twitter is a tiny number of people
2) Twitter isn't representative (actual popular shows like Yellowstone aren't a thing there)
3) Twitter has managed to make actual changes -- the grassroots "Synder Cut" of the batman movie seems to have been mainly a campaign run by Snyder.
4) The lazy "journalism" of throwing a few tweets together as a "news" story and amplifies this
5) Some network execs think that twitter is representative and thus respond to things on twitter

They acknowledge that sometime social media pressure makes good things happen (Sonic changing from the trailer), but other times it is awful (Star Wars episode 9)
 
I like the new Picard poster for season 3.I'd like to have that as a poster . I hope season the 3 story arcs for the TNG characters will be good. I'm looking forward to seeing Gates McFadden return as Beverly Crusher. I'm curious about the next season 3 preview Terry Matalas keeps mentioning that's coming out soon.

Does PIC S3 include TOS/SNW props like that phaser? :D
 
Lore's outfit on the poster looks nearly identical to Riker's leather uniform/jacket thing, just in gold. The trailer looks more like a regular (ish, as you say) uniform. But both look to be Starfleet outfits.
 
Maybe Section 31 rebuilt Lore and is using him as an asset of some kind? That would probably mean a black uniform instead of gold, but who else would put that maniac back together?
