Maddox said that Soji and Dahj were sent to find the secret behind the Synth ban. He suspected that the Federation and Romulans had a part in it. Daystrom being a target makes sense. Maybe he heard about the Zhat Vash xBs on the artifact?

A season 2 episode that visits the alternate timeline where in the episode The Quality of Life, the senior staff had not been called to the bridge before Beverly had won the hand of poker forcing Riker, LaForge, and Worf to shave their beards. In that timeline, the extra-galactic synthetics came through the beacon and destroyed all biological life.

I don't know what Picard can actually do story-wise now that the post-Nemesis stuff is mostly resolved; at least I like most of these characters / actors. Finale was OK.

After making GBS threads on the overall arc of the season that reminds me that I actually like most of the actors, and many of their characters in general. I think there's the potential for them to do a good story with them, and am vaguely looking forward to a second season.

I think there's the potential for them to do a good story with them, and am vaguely looking forward to a second season. This season had all the trappings of a messy experiment that they were trying to see if it at least worked enough to get them a second season, and on that front it was mission accomplished. So I'm hoping next season is a little more polished now that their 10 hour elevator pitch actually struck paydirt. A lot of Trek shows get off the ground in really sloppy starts but once it's actually airborne they can do some really neat tricks. And the best part of this season being self contained so far is that they have a blank slate to start next year on and as the man himself said at the end of TNG, the sky's the limit...

That or the beacon works as advertised but when Sovereign comes storming through the portal it immediately shuts off because after sitting dormant in Dark Space for 500,000 years it's power supply had run down to the point where it could only mange one quick thruster burst to get it through the aperture and that was it.

But they barely stayed together for two seconds at a time in this season, and now they don't even have the vague sort of mission that kind of almost brought them together to begin with. So why wouldn't they all just get on with their separate lives now?

Drone posted:So, uh, why isn't Jurati on her way to a nice Federation penal colony in New Zealand again? Chabon said in his Q&A that she would be surrendering to Fed authorities after the events of the finale. My guess is that if Pill doesn’t want to come back that’ll be the ending for her character, and if she does return then they’ll just have some line in the S2 premiere about Picard making an impassioned plea during her trial and the judge remanding her into his custody as a “time served” or whatever. They’re obviously setting those characters up as the show’s “crew” so I can’t see the whole “go to prison for murder” thing sticking at all, so long as Pill actually returns.

Strictly speaking Soji also is guilty of Attempted Hypermurder of all life in known space, so I imagine they’re gonna just go all “mistakes were made” and quietly brush the whole thing under the rug

Keep in mind we're also getting Guinan next year in probably a major role too given the show PatStew made of asking Whoopi back, so I have a feeling that La Sirena's gonna get more than packed with folks in season 2.

Would love to see her do it, but I don't know that she'd be a regular. I'd love to see pretty much any of the TNG cast come back, though of the TNG lot I have the most hopes for John de Lancie or Michael Dorn. Or... I dunno man, bring back a DS9 person for a change and actually acknowledge that that series exists  I'm sure Alex Siddig would jump at the chance.And as much as it might be tempting to say "gently caress cameos, this show should do its own thing!", ST:PIC is literally Nostalgia Cameo: The Series, so might as well do it here.

So the finale annoyed me in the same way as TNG did. So... overall it succeeded in what it was aiming for? The Romulan siblings and the kicking captain were the best characters. "Planetary destruction sequence #5" implies there are at least 4 more ways to destroy a planet.  Riker should have gone to the Delenn-school of intimidation who would have clearly sent even the killer-robos packing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFvkgfBXHPA Those are my thoughts on Picard on Amazon Prime. Thank you.

Frakes delivered it well but the "biggest, fastest, most powerful ship in Starfleet history" line really rubs me the wrong way. It's not just that it's just... not something a lot of Starfleet captains would say. It's also the kind of lazy piled-on adjective writing that a 10 year old puts in his fanfic. I should know, I probably wrote something similar in my fanfic when I was 10

It was just completely unnecessary. There should have been fewer warbirds, there should have been fewer Starfleet ships. The Starfleet ships should have actually been a bit outmatched, if anything, which increases the stakes and the value of Picard's victory when he convinces Dahj to turn off and destroy the beacon and proves that Oh was wrong the entire time.

You don't get it. The stakes always have to be bigger than last time. That's what Hollywood thinks tension is these days. Those 218 warbirds would have been just as threatening and just as capable of glassing a planet if there were a couple dozen of them. But, as with all things in this hosed up timeline we live in, The Number Must Get Bigger (regardless of what that number is).

Absolutely cool to disagree with me here- I think my not liking Furlan is my native English speaking self expecting a little more, oh, personality. I think some of the cast of TNG definitely has this very theatrical way of doing things.
