Star Trek: Picard Trailer and News

by

There is a full length trailer for Star Trek : Picard.

Star Trek: Picard should start in early 2020. It’ll stream in the US on CBS All Access and on the Space Channel in Canada. Amazon Prime Video will shows episode within 24 hours of the US premiere in most of the rest of the world.

There is information on several co-stars and villains from Comic-con and the trailer.

Spoilers from the news below.

There is Jeri Ryan who was Seven of Nine of Voyager. They are letting Jeri Ryan be more human and less stiff.

The Borg are playing a big part in at least the early shows.

Data (Brent Spiner) and Jonathan Frakes (Riker) will be involved.

The character Hugh, who was a rebel Borg will be in the show.

There is some mystery female in the trailer, which the trailer seems to imply is Borg related.

If there is any extended run, then I think the rest of the Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager casts will end up making appearances.

There are quite a few Vulcans in the trailer.

Picard will be operating outside of Starfleet.

  2. Biologically they’ve been separated for about 2000 years, so still likely able to interbreed. It’s the cultural differences that make them separate peoples. Vulcans embraced logic and reason, proto-Romulans (they weren’t Romulans until they settled on Romulus and Remus; there were other sub-groups that splintered off during the migration) were Vulcans who held onto their fiery emotions and left for the stars.

  3. Well, Tasha Yarr’s daughter is Cmdr. Sela of the Tal Shiar in TNG (due to time travel shenanigans re: Yesterday’s Enterprise) who later becomes Proconsul prior to the destruction of the Hobus star, Praetor after most of her opponents died on Romulus and Remus from said destruction and finally Empress of the Romulan Star Empire (Star Trek Online, considered soft-canon until contradicted by either official television series or movies). Sela, so far as established canon goes, has no children of her own because she was busy being ruthless. STO is set in 2409, so 30 years after the events of Nemesis. Chronologically it’s possible Sela had a child that would be an adult (in their 20s-40s most likely) by this new series (Sela would be 64 in 2409), but it’s not canon thus far. If ST:P makes it so, then it becomes canon.

  6. The name you’re looking for is Lal from The Offspring episode 63. Data deactivated her the same episode he activated her. It’s possible he or Starfleet (Data was put on trial for his rights as a sentient being to not be disassembled for study in Starfleets efforts in the field, youtuber LegalEagle has a nice breakdown of the episode) continued work on the project before Datas demise in Nemesis or in the 20 years after said movie before the setting of this show. Data had transferred his memories into the less advanced positronic brain of B4 (Soong built him before both Data and Lore) as a safeguard and we saw that at least a glimmer of hope his plan worked at the end of the movie.

  9. Honestly, the series have been mostly about The Adventures of Captain X, where X is Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Archer, with fewer secondary character centered episodes here and there.

    Until Discovery, which didn’t even have a proper captain for a while, until Pike entered the scene.

  10. Could Data have made a daughter (and a much more human seeming upgrade at that) before he became partially assembled?

  11. Been a while since I bothered with anything Star Trek related, but… Isn’t it canon at that Romulans were descended from a faction of Vulcans who rejected Surak’s teachings? Biologically, they’re the same species?

  15. So CBS having plagiarized space tardigrades from a fourth rate video games for ST:D is now plagiarizing star trek renegades for S:TP?

    I mean they must like paying their lawyers some serious $.

  16. 7/9 probably won’t be a recurring character. We see the emo-nillennial vulcan main characters.

  17. This is Picard in the Kelvin-verse with snickers bar klingons. This is NOT a sequel to TNG.

    It is going to be *awful*.

  18. Star Trek has always avoided “the series is about the adventures of person X” because it isn’t a character driven series. We can see the downside of making it all about one person in ST:D where every plot line is resolved by Burnham (sp- do not care) and she slowly becomes a walking Deus Ex plot device.

  20. As explained in-canon and in-universe, the Borg were finding Humans somewhat difficult to best. They “adapted” their tactics by assimilating Picard and giving him a unique designation in a ham-fisted attempt to bridge the gap. Out-of-universe it was a messy explanation that doesn’t pass the smell test, but writers needed to create tension and plot points. By creating a Borg Queen character later in the franchise, writers gave themselves a better way of explaining some of the illogical decisions by the Collective, by making them stem from one mind who will deny up and down that she is separate from the Hivemind when clearly (as shown by the movie and Voyager episodes) she has a personal agenda and is subject to emotions: We’ve seen her coy, smug, self-satisfied, angry, hateful and terrified.

  21. Merely responding to your “Yea, what’s your point?” I can’t help you if you don’t even know what you’re asking?

  25. What are you talking about ? When did I make mention of Romulans vs Vulcans? I know the difference.
    “are people not allowed to make educated guesses what the plot points will be based on information thus far provided?”
    Again- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

  30. Don’t think it’s a Chosen One scenario, this is Star Trek we’re talking about, but I like Smog’s theory below about the Borg queen. Given the hijinx with her character established in canon already be the shows and movies, I’m curious where they’d go with a reborn younger version of her.

  31. Given the widely positive response to the announcement and follow up info on the coming series, your point looks wrong. Stewart was never an action hero and his stiffness in those scenes made that clear; always more cerebral. The only ones who are meh-ing about this because of the lack of bar brawls from his character are the ones who grew up with Shatner as Kirk or whose introduction to Star Trek was Abrams’ Star Trek: All the Beautiful People in Space (aka Star Trek: Lens Flare). Fans of TNG, DS9, VOY all know Picard is not Kirk and he is admired for his own qualities as a captain and a man, to say nothing of Stewart as an actor.

  32. Romulans aren’t Vulcans, and are people not allowed to make educated guesses what the plot points will be based on information thus far provided?

  36. Trailer has “data” disassembled in the draw… I was wondering if he also has a “detachable penis” like the song…since he’s programmed in the techniques of making love in 152 techniques and positions…errr… wasn’t that an episode?

  37. all they need to make it complete is a max-head-room CGI of Spock floating around the set… and a Wookie to reattach data’s head on the wrong side…

  39. Perhaps a ripped and strapping young lad from the land of plenty would make a more appealing key holder.

  40. “Too old” for what?

    He can’t be a realistic action hero. (Though ask Clint Eastwood about that.)

    And it’ll be icky when casting decides that he’ll be perfect in a romantic matchup with some 19 year old girl (because Hollywood execs are mostly pedophiles and so that’s being conservative by their standards)

    But his current age and condition is no barrier to all sorts of stories and characters.
