So..... The federation is threatened by Kathy Burke's Perry from The Fast Show (Yeah, I know it's Amanda Plummer doing an impression of Christopher Plummer in Undiscovered Country meets Kahn), a hologram and...... Brent Spinee..... AGAIN (How did I forget that they could bring back Lore?).
I'm genuinely surprised they didn't go with
Sela. In the trailer, at the end, they could have had her outline like we saw initially in TNG)
We know they always do great trailers for Picard. I still don't hold out much hope but will watch it to the end for completeness save.....
That looks like utter horseshít. A mishmash of desperation to try and curry favour from fans, but still betraying the idiotic scripting blighting the show (see Rikers "we're gonna die" comment). And an avalanche of surprise characters ain't gonna make me watch. And Jesus, even by current standards it's all way too dark.
I remember how great the S1 trailer looked. I was so pumped for it.
Then they stole and badly copied Mass Effect.
Not sure how I feel about this.
Is that Moriarty near the end ?
He'd be a good main villain, that female villain looks like a caricature.
Yep.
Wonder is he also the lady captain of the ship. He controls her and meant to be some big reveal that they ruined at the end of the trailer?
From the subtitles, the ship captain is called Vadic, with the ship being the Shrike. There doesn't seem to be any previous background to her otherwise. I suspect they're going to shoehorn in some tenuous link to Picards past to justify this.
It seems the writers for Series 3 are the same as previous series , so I dont think the end result will be any better.
The should have let the Strange New Worlds writers takeover.
Also........ Worf is now a Pacifist?????
Shrike was used as a Romulan ship class in Star Trek Armada II. Possible connection or pure coincidence?
This new Trek just can't do decent villans. That lady looks like Dr Evils henchwoman from Austin Powers, also shouldn't "Moriarty" have went down with the D in Generations?
He was on a portable device made by Barclay last time we saw him so there's no guarantee it was still on the D when it crashed. Barclay wasn't, or at least was never seen during Generations.
I'd imagine that device ended up in the Daystrum institute. Makes the most sense for it. With all their failures trying to recreate artificial sentient life in the style of Data, I'm sure they'd be dying to study the artificial sentient life that the Enterprise's computer accidentally created in response to a badly phrased command 😉
Jupiter Station might be a more likely destination.
I love the effort you guys are putting into something the writers didn't give 30 seconds of boilerplate effort beyond "who that isn't Q is a popular TNG villain? Let's bring them back!" I'd put no small amount of money on there being precisely no explanation given.
Guarantee you that some of the regulars here could produce a better season of Picard than what we've been given so far.
My first thought when it showed up was it kinda looked like The Narada (ST:2009).
It does a bit.
Oh, typed with the confidence of never having to put my money where my mouth is... I know I could write a better season's TV than what we got with Picard. In that it wouldn't be hard. I still think season 2 was some of the worst writing done by professionals I've witnessed in years of TV.
At the end of season 2, I was expecting some big ass super bad, if the borg were asking for help, and now not a sniff of a drone.
Wouldn't put it past them to have forgotten all that. Also I notice Riker seems to be wearing Captain's insignia? Wasn't he an Admiral?
It really feels like they're going to create another "Shinzon" style enemy who has some backstory with Picard we've never heard about before. If they wanted that 'wrath of khan' style villain then Sela is right there. It would double down on the nostalgia bait the writers want to exploit and they'd have a villain with an established history with Picard.
Riker is still a captain, and never made it to admiral.
Riker was an ensign and both varieties of lieutenant for about 4 years, a lieutenant commander for no more than 3 years and a commander for 14 years. So plotting that graph he should've taken his promotion to admiral sometime around 2397 not accounting for the break due to the death of his son or any other breaks.
He always seemed to be very Kirk like in demeanour so perhaps his time as an Admiral took a similar path.
Confirmed by the USS Enterprise-F In Star Trek: Picard Season 3 NYCC Trailer!
I still the E is a much better more cohesive looking ship but can not wait to see this screen either.
The above video use's old footage from 'The Equalizer (1988)' to good effect.
Imagine winning a fan competition for Star Trek Online back in 2011 and now, over a decade later, your drawing becomes the Canon Ent-F
Season 3 trailer:
Zero hype for this. With the bridge crew returning it feels like a trailer for one of the bad TNG films, moody lighting and action oriented.
Moriarty being there too is ridiculous in the extreme. There’ll be no reason for him to be there other than TNG fans being able to recognise him.
All Good Things already had about 1/3 of it showing us Picard getting the band back together for one last adventure and I bet it will still have a more satisfying conclusion than this.
"It was always Life or Death Jen-Luc; when has it not been?"
Lots of times Geordi. Lots and lots and lots of times but oh wait, PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW.
Absolute garbage; there's a small chance it's how the tone of the trailer was cut - but nah. Mind you, scanning the YouTube comments out of masochistic curiosity shows there are more than enough idio...people out there pleased merely by I Know That Reference.
