Big Mean Jerk posted:Old Picard leaving his vineyard and asking old TNG characters to trust his crazy story and join him on one final mission would have just been a retread of All Good Things. I get why they’re going with a crew of new characters. It also keeps the focus on Picard himself instead of returning to the familiar TNG ensemble. True, but I kinda feel like we're getting the exact same scenes of All Good Things but with characters Picard knows but we don't.

I want to see Worf so bad, at least give us one cameo. Dorn would still look the part and he owns the character so hard, it would probably feel like we hadn't missed a beat. But I guess Klingons are gross slimy monsters now? The Klingons have had a tough few hundred years.

The Picard and Ro show writes itself so easily it's insane they didn't do it, unless they tried and Forbes turned them down again. Everything about her character and their relationship is relevant to the themes of the show.

Season 2 is going to have Guinan so chances are it and subsequent seasons will have more returning characters from TNG. Chill your fuckin nacelles.

If they never mentioned any TNG crew people would be like "why isn't he even trying to hook up with his old crew" so they went ahead and dealt with it

Not that I think i will EVER come up (though with (minor cast spoiler that has been in the previews) Seven of Nine in the show there's a chance): But what does "no artificial life forms in the Federation" mean in terms of The Doctor? He's obviously unique when it comes to holograms (as far as we know) thanks to the mobile emitter. No other hologram has the freedom he does, though at this point it seems it would be trivial to install holo emitters basically everywhere on Earth and in every Starfellt ship. It's also shown that apparently all of his model of EMH (and, if we're lucky, all of the Andy Dick models) were basically made into slave labor in dilithium mines (seriously, WTF? Why not just...keep them off and delete the programs?) Though then there's the one scene at the end of "Author, Author" where the EMH slaves are all passing around the holonovel The Doctor wrote, so maybe there was a EMH slave revolt? That seems to sort of be the same thing we saw of that brief scene on Mars with regards to the androids. There was a room full of de-activated androids, and it looks like they activated them on on as-needed basis to perform task XYZ, literally the same as a non-sentient robot. Sort of seems pointless...like, Maddox and his team spend ll this time to replicate Dr.Soong's ability to create SENTIENT artificial life with full AI, emotions, etc... and they then proceed to, seemingly, not take advantage of any of that. I don't know where I'm going with this other than I just want to see Robert Picardo play The Doctor again.

DrBouvenstein posted:Not that I think i will EVER come up (though with (minor cast spoiler that has been in the previews) Seven of Nine in the show there's a chance): The Federation routinely abuses sapient AI though. They're just usually not in an human body outside a few holograms. So them learning to make androids and using them as disposable laborers is pretty much on target for them.

A standard "they're too busy to join up with me, I've already tried" might be cliche as gently caress but at least leaves the door open way wider for future possibilities. AndyElusive posted:Season 2 is going to have Guinan so chances are it and subsequent seasons will have more returning characters from TNG. Yeah that's cool but the man is 79 years old and I'm not going to be overly morbid but it's not like they have infinite time to explore all this and it's the first hit of televised post Voyager poo poo we're getting so my patience is at an all time low here. LUDICROUS SPEED, ENGAGE!

Series 1 will end with Picard dying to save Soji in a scene that mirrors the end of Nemesis. Soji will return to Chateau Picard to bury his combadge in the dirt. Some random old French man walking past with a wine barrel strapped to his back will stop and say "You there, what's your same?" "Soji" she'll reply. "No, what's your full name?" "Soji... Picard." end credits I accidentally just posted that in the Trump impeachment thread. I regret nothing. Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Feb 1, 2020 |
