The TNG episode currently airing on BBC America is Phantasms, which is oddly appropriate.

Voyager hired a man who pretended to be Native American as their consultant. This was 15 years AFTER he had already been exposed as a fraud. So you'll find racism just kinda spread around like spice all over the show.

I tend to avoid ST comics because they have some of the worst art you've ever seen but 2 of 3 of these variant covers look cool. (I'm gathering that the premise of this comic is that Sisko gets a Sovereign class)

Those old TOS Gold Key comics are an interesting read if only because I don't think the writer(s) ever actually watched an episode of Star Trek. There's one where Spock is ready to throw hands at Scotty because he insults his honor or something, which is really bizarre.

2378 is the year Voyager returned, so it's either the former or something else.

So much for Lower Decks being canon then since we already saw the Titan there.

Unless this is a "refit" titan being Titan-A, but it really looks like a completely different ship.

This is further into the future. Something must have happened to the Titan between the time of LD and Picard.

that cowling over the deflector dish makes it look overweight, what the hell is that for.

also the trailer shows them going to warp right above a starbase, i guess impulse is passe now

Matalas specified in a later tweet that yes, it's the Titan-A

e: Picard being Picard it'll probably show up for the first episode and then they'll introduce the Matalas-All-But-Promised Ent-F

Though, it's weird for Riker to say "Hello beautiful" as if it was his first command. Unless, of course, the clips are unrelated and cut together for the trailer.

That neck also doesn't look like saucer separation would even be possible, so there's not a need for separate saucer and star drive impulse engines.

That goofy undetailed cowling just ruins it for me, I'm sorry. I'm normally not remotely as picky as many people are about Starfleet ship designs, but that cowling or whatever it is just feels like some low-poly CGI out of like a worse designed 90s sci-fi show. Something new for Babylon 5 or whatever.

So either A) they don't know that USS Titan is already a hero ship on another show or B) they are actively loving with Lower Decks.

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."
The Titan-A looks so much like one of those STO Exeter/Excalibur class ships.

It's the second USS Titan, NCC-80102-A. The original Titan is either destroyed or decommissioned between LDS and PIC. A pair of Luna class ships even show up in Picard Season 2 for a couple seconds.

It looks a lot like various TMP era fan designs I've seen over the years, it's even got old style ball phaser turrets. Wether this is a result of the design team doing references for fun or in story reasons will not convince me to watch it though because lmao lol
