[Scarlett.]

Interesting to note Cardassia and Bajor are in Federation space now

[James]

I can edit the title of the other thread if you want?

Will be easier just to use this one for S1 stuff, since the title can be changed each ep

23rd is US date, 24th for the rest of the world

Admiral Picard's uniform revealed!

[Scarlett.]

Data in the the show itself will apparently resemble how he looked in Nemesis, the reason he looked off in the trailer is the CG work wasn't there

[James]

I guess it must be B4 instead of Data, unless they are ignoring the events of Nemesis.

[Scarlett.]

It's already been renewed for Season 2!

[Scarlett.]

New Starfleet badge revealed!

It's the same badge from the 'future' based episodes!

[Scarlett.]

Aw they removed the short

Well, I can say whats in it

Mars and the Utopia Planetia Shipyards (where all the Enterprises, Voyager, Discovery and Defiant were built are destroyed by 'Rogue Synths' (possibly the android like Data copies seen in the trailer.

[Scarlett.]

So, spoilers for the prequel comics and prequel short and perhaps a little bit of Picard?

Geordi LaForge is stationed on Utopia Planitia Fleetyards in the comic, the prequel short takes place around the same time....

Geordi :(

The placeholder is now up on Amazon!

They've also been told to start work on S3, with them likely filming S3 after S2 production finishes

[Scarlett.]

I think this clip from the show demonstrates how different it will be from Discovery

Thanks for the updates Dia.

AmazonPrimeHD
Great new Picard.

[Scarlett.]

I'm really looking forward to it, so far, Amazon are treating Picard much better than Netflix are treating Discovery (Netflix havent even put up a season 3 trailer yet)

I'm looking forward to it, but I don't want them to mess it up.

They have learnt
And Patrick has only gone back
due to better writers


Check Today's Times Paper

[Scarlett.]

This is interesting

It's important that people realise its not gonna be TNG again, but its also not gonna be Disco like either, its a new thing

[Scarlett.]

Ship spoiler (sorta) from new trailer!

Just watched the first episode... it's everything I hoped for!

Yes even Blade Runner
in it.

Love the Start

[arista]

Its Blade Runner within Star Trek
Very Clever.

[Scarlett.]

I love how they finally expanded on stuff on Earth, feels more alive now, and

BRUCE MADDOX!

Post show thing called The Ready Room with Will Wheaton

[James]

Quite an interesting first episode.

[arista]

Quite an interesting first episode.

Yes I agree
bits of Blade Runner Story in it.

[The Space Force Logo (L) looks uncannily similar
to the StarFleet Command United Federation of Planets logo.

https://news.sky.com/story/donald-trump-unveils-new-space-force-logo-but-star-trek-fans-mock-it-11917168

I do not agree.
The Trump one is not the same as Star Trek.

[Scarlett.]

They're heavily similar though

[James]

The new logo is based on the old US Air Force Space Command logo, which was probably based on the Starfleet symbol... although I don't if that is true.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Air_Force_Space_Command.png/497px-Air_Force_Space_Command.png

Edit:


The centrally superimposed deltoid symbolizes both the Air Force upward thrust into space and the launch vehicles needed to place all satellites in orbit. The distinctive dark blue background shading and small globe and stars symbolize the space environment.

[arista]

They're heavily similar though

But not the same

[bots]

i think it was a very good first episode

[Scarlett.]

Hmm

The Assassins who killed Dahj, it seems unlikely they were sent by the Reclaimation Romulans... and the explosion near Starfleet seems to have been covered up. Could Ex-Tal'Shiar be working for Section 31?

[Scarlett.]

[James]

I'm quite enjoying it so far. I would have liked to have watched the next episode now, to see where the story goes, instead of having to wait a week.

[Scarlett.]

Same, they should have done the first two episodes together like with Discovery

[James]

They want people in America to keep subscribed to the CBS All Access streaming service. That's why they didn't put them out all at once like Netflix and Amazon often do.

[Scarlett.]

It does make sense that way though, they gotta make money on it to be fair on them lol

[bots]

2 episodes in and it's ticking all the right boxes for me. This could well end up being my favourite star trek

[James]

I don't think we need f-bombs in Star Trek, mind you.

[bots]

I don't think we need f-bombs in Star Trek, mind you.

Yep, that did surprise me and Picard was positively shocked

[Scarlett.]

I think that was used in the right place, but they should keep it as something that isnt used often

[Scarlett.]

I'm gonna predict that
The Doctor from Voyager
will return this season

[James]

I read a review of the first episode and it spoiled a returning character for me - not that one though, but,

Hugh Borg

I hadn't heard that character was back before I read the review.

Ah, I'd heard he was coming back from ages ago, would have been better left as a surprise though

[Scarlett.]

I love the La Serana, a nice looking little ship.

I also really liked the 2385 uniforms

[bots]

Engage

[arista]

Yes Complex Storys
Blade Runner and Borg


Episode 3 was Great

[bots]

an old face returns :cheer2:

[Scarlett.]

I loved the exploration of the Romulan refugees, after so many years we are finally learning more about the Romulans

[James]

5 episodes in and I'm enjoying the series.

That opening scene mind you. :o

Better Episode 6.

[James]

Episode 7 was a nice balance of nostalgia and moving the story forward.

[Scarlett.]

Calling it now
Soongs "Son" is Lore

[James]

Calling it now
Soongs "Son" is Lore

Hmm, interesting, didn't think of that.

[Scarlett.]

Hmm, interesting, didn't think of that.

The whole planet of Androids thing seems very much like something Lore would do :laugh:

[bots]

is episode 10 the final in the series? I've been really enjoying it

[Scarlett.]

Yep, next ep is the finale

[James]

The whole planet of Androids thing seems very much like something Lore would do :laugh:


I couldn't work out what the agenda was of the android that let Narek free.

[Scarlett.]

I loved the finale!

Was nice to get a real send off for Data, finally closing that B4 loophole, also I liked what happened with Picard :D and Riker in Starfleet!

[bots]

i thoroughly enjoyed the series

[James]

New trailer. S2 is not until 2022.

I'm going to wait until it is all out and watch, because I don't have Amazon Prime anymore.

[arista]

It is a Great Series 2.


That Borg connected to a Frame
is a real problem

[James]

I finished watching season 2. I wish I liked it better to be honest.

[bots]

yeah, it had a lot of potential, but it was a let down in the end

[Nicky91]

i liked series 2


and am very much looking forward to series 3 with the whole big TNG reunion fest

[James]
