I really want Riker to be in command of a Galaxy Class ship in Picard and then saves the day by charging in and rescuing them at some point and we have nostalgia-cam where they step onto the bridge and soft music plays as we pan around an upgraded bridge set and everything And also they use CGI for shuttlebay one.

So, since they're doing the Picard show in the STD universe (they are right?), what do people think the Borg will be like? They changed the Klingons a lot for STD, so I guess we can expect the same for the the Picard show? Or is this going to turn out to be in a different timeline or a mirror universe deal? Also, Patrick Stewart seems way too old for this, even in the small clips they picked for the trailer. Seems like they're taking a pretty big risk casting all of these old timers. I guess Picard would be the right character to confront Ageism with, but if it does not work out will the nostalgia alone enough to revitalize the franchise, or even compete with The Orville? I guess they did keep making the TOS movies for a good long while...

From what I've read, it takes place in the "Normal" Star Trek universe, and is set a little bit after Spock tries and fails to save Romulus, as shown in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek '09.

They changed the Klingons a lot for STD, so I guess we can expect the same for the the Picard show? Or is this going to turn out to be in a different timeline or a mirror universe deal? Some of the tech guys from Discovery were fantasizing in an interview about how they'd do the Borg, and they said they'd make use of 3D printing and cheaper robotics to make it look like they have more task-specific mechanical parts. They also said they'd like to see specialization within the species, like different classes of Borg that are visibly outfitted for specific tasks. As for Picard, they seem to be leaning into the fact that he's an old man as part of the story. I don't know what he seems too old for with that in mind, unless you're expecting him to do action stuff again. (I get the impression this is more about him as a leader, though.) I dig it, there was something cool to me about theme of an old, irrelevant hero going "I don't want the game to end."

I dig it, there was something cool to me about theme of an old, irrelevant hero going "I don't want the game to end." Too old for his character. Like, the series is called Picard, and is announced after the fans became upset that the Star Trek that is being produced is not like the Treks of old, so I think it stands to reason that we can take them on their word when they say they're bring back "Captain Picard". I am worried that Patrick Stewart is unable to inhabit that character convincingly. Basically, he looks too frail. He's not commanding. They leaned into that with Logan, and it worked because the character we see there is very much not Professor X anymore, but an addled old man needing to be cared for. He's meant to evoke pity, and does so wonderfully. In contrast all we've heard thus far point to Picard being about Picard having to come out of retirement for one last adventure, something only he can do. The line in the trailer is "be the Captain they remember"; I think that's what a lot of fans want too, and I have not seen anything that suggest Stewart is up to the task. thotsky fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Jul 22, 2019 |

His delivery of the “she may be in serious danger” line felt really off and non-Picard. Not the words, just the way be delivered it. Very old man.

Perhaps he could take the three-nacelled monstrosity from All Good Things... as his baseline. But, you know, flattened out a lot. No interconnecting dorsal, just mash the hulls together. Got to make all three nacelles more angular too. And have the oval of the saucer go the other way, so the long way points forward, to make it look faster. Then paint it all black and cover it in greebling. Done.

"Peak Performance" is on H&I right now. While this is far from the worst episode of the show, I'm starting to realize that it is a good microcosm of what sucked about early ST:TNG.
I know that if some iffy character decisions aren't made, there won't be drama or stakes, but this episode is egregiously full of plot holes.

Speculation spoiled because of a casting announcement that hasn't made as many headlines. Since Hugh is coming back, it's almost certainly going to be something to do with the Borg that became individuals in Descent. My guess is that after Voyager cutoff the Borg's access to the alpha quadrant, the question became what to do about the Borg that were stranded. Romulus must have raided some of the tech (we know because of the Narada) and now view that tech as paramount importance to keep their species alive. The Federation decided to turn a blind eye to that since the Romulans were no serious threat anymore and it solved the Borg problem. But Romulans didn't stop at disconnected Borg, they decided to go after the growing group of individual Borg lead by Hugh. Picard didn't like that and argued that they should be protected just like any other race, but the Federation stated that they weren't a race, only a scattered group of different individual species that they couldn't police and had no business interfering with. Besides, most could live without their implants anyways so the Romulans were doing them a favor. This girl, I'm guessing, is the first true Borg offspring from the individual group. She wasn't assimilated at a young age. She wasn't grown as a normal baby and then immediately augmented with cybernetics. She was born with nanoprobes as part of her bodily systems. She IS a new species and the future of the individual Borg. The Romulans want her since she proves they are genociding a group of people by scavenging tech and the Federation doesn't want to wade into intervening with the Romulans after what happened the last time (homeworld went boom.) Data is brought back as an expert witness due to his experience in "Measure of a Man" in establishing the standards of new life. If that's what it ends up being, there's potential there for good story with some decent contemporary allegory.
