Star Trek: Picard

BABY YODA OUT! NUMBER ONE IN!

I'm glad Number One is a cool dog. Of course I would still love him if he was a chihuahua (who are more vicious than pitbulls anyway).
 
I saw it, it was OK, I liked Picard getting out of breath on the stairs, glad they have acknowledged his age.
 
Also worth remembering that Jean-Luc is 15 years older than Patrick Stewart, so the character is about 94 in this episode.
 
But people in that century live to be 150, so should he look/feel that old? :scared:

(I can only wonder what kinds of debates are going on over at Trek)
 
I am so stupidly happy right now, I don't feel I can even do myself justice by properly explaining the show. So what I'll do is wait until I'm several shows in, and the hard, emotional fanboying has subsided, and I'll give it a go.

It's just made me so fucking happy. I am honestly surprised at myself at how hyped I was for this, and what an effect it had on me as soon as Sir Patrick Stewart showed up and starting just being Picard. It genuinely feels like the heartbeat and the human factor of the franchise is back. I didn't overly mind the movies and Discovery, but within 45 minutes that passed like 15 minutes, it felt like a huge chunk of Roddenberry's Trek has return.
 
My only criticism would be about starfleet being so earth centric, there are hundreds of planets in the federation, an evacuation of romulous shouldn't have been cancelled
because of an internal issue in Mars.

WHy wouldn't vulcan do more? It's not been blown up in this time line.
 
A *very* solid first episode. I was a little ambivalent about the whole thing given the distaste that Discovery left in my mouth but this is completely different and more like what I've been looking for for awhile. A lot of callbacks to the TNG era, but quite different. Not bad, just different. Which is fine.

Looking forward to where this is going over the next 9 episodes.
 
Gave it another watch this morning, it really zips along, 45 minutes feels like ten.

Noticed the final dramatic music at the end on the borg cube appears to be an updated version of the dramatic tension music used in TOS whenever Kirk was in trouble.

I mean idk about "cancelled" but evacuating a planet is just about impossible on any reasonable timescale. If Romulus had even just 1 billion people and you want to move them to a place 10 ly away, that's a one week roundtrip at warp 8. A Galaxy-class has maximum capacity for 15,000 people. You'd need about 17,000 ships the size of a Galaxy class, with no downtime, if you want to evacuate a planet with 1 billion people to a location 10ly away in a month.
 
I've read the first two issues of the Countdown: Picard comic and it's actually good and provides some useful background to the series (the identities of the two Romulans living with Picard for example.)
 
Well in order to watch it on amazon prime it is $6 a month for a subscription to CBS. I didn't do this for Mandalorian, but I am doing it for Picard. But I will cancel my subscription.
