You know, we keep going to the well of Vulcans doing a Brexit, but if the Feds being sympathetic to the Romulans spurs some sort of Romula-phobia thing, it seems to me like ultimately you'd end up lose peace with the Klingons, Cardassians, maybe even Bajorans first as well as other various powers. I wonder if we'll see that sort of dynamic, just a big shift in non-Federation allegiances all around the quadrant after Romulus goes down, then maybe a fear-based return to authoritarianism for people like the the Cardassians. The Federation can still be at the sane and rational center of it all. I know it may not matter to the writers, but I just have a hard time believing the Vulcans becoming isolationist xenophobes. Though this is the iteration of the franchise that gave us logic extremists, so who knows. Drink-Mix Man fucked around with this message at 19:54 on May 23, 2019 |

I'm stoked that they're willing to do a teaser that looks 99% like a wine advertisement, it pretty well confirms that this isn't going to be the Action Picard from the movies. Now I just have to hope it's not all overdramatic and turns Picard into a Chosen One and all that.

What if Picard is the chosen one and the only one who can defeat a new invasion by those alien bugs that took over starfleet command (and were never seen again) and the only way they can win is by getting the old crew together (recently retired Riker, etc.) and hijack a mothballed Galaxy-class starship (because it's the only one that isn't compromised by alien computer technology or whatever) and blow up some kind of alien mcguffin or something? That way it's overdramatic AND Action Picard. um Alex Kurtzman pls do not steal

As long as the bugs look exactly as stupid as they originally did and it turns out that crescent kicks really are the only way to fight people controlled by said bugs, I'm 100% down.

The show subverts expectations by having Picard die of auto-erotic asphyxiation in the second episode. After the entire Enterprise D bridge crew is murdered at a Klingon peace conference, the rest of the show follows the lives of Picard’s assistant and his shuttle pilot with no clear trajectory.

In a shocking twist, it’s revealed that Worf survived the peace conference massacre only to be radicalized by his experience. The penultimate episode is Worf bombarding Risa from orbit, killing millions. 45 minutes of people screaming.

Kirk knew the Admiralty would corrupt him and turn him into Babby’s First Hitler. So he committed theft so Starfleet would bust him back down to Captain.

I think Netcheyev works out because that episode made it pretty drat clear she was having to enforce a treaty she did not like and was taking what she thought was a "Needs of the Many" stance. She did a great job of being the boss you didn't like, but I don't think it made her a bad admiral.

Here's a wild prediction: What caused Picard to leave Starfleet was some sort of gross mismanagement on their part that saw the Enterprise destroyed, and the entire crew (except Picard for reasons) killed. He was promoted to Admiral in absentia after retiring from Starfleet due to the incident. Nobody from TNG except him has been announced as part of the cast  e: realistically though because of the way TNG ended, absolutely nothing from that future will happen, so we definitely won't see: -Captain Beverly Picard -Troi dead, so what -Professor Data -Admiral Riker -IT WAS ALL A DISEASE-INDUCED HALLUCINATION -an Enterprise with 3 nacelles anything else I'm leaving out?

The only time we see him for real is a radio message along the lines of "You don't have to kill Spock. Do whatever you think is best with Pike."

What Enterprise will we be up to in the Picard show? F? G? Have to assume it will show up at some point so that Picard can initially dislike the new captain and be a bit jealous but then after a space adventure they will bond.

I don't want some big conspiracy type thing. I'm hoping that he led the armada that was evacuating Romulus just in case they failed to stop the supernova. Picard ordered them to hold on a bit too long trying to evacuate as many as possible as it became clear the supernova was happening, and a bunch of ships got destroyed in the process
