Just watched the finale of Star Trek: Picard. Emotional, exciting, incredible. I know a lot of fans didn't love ST: Picard, but I for one, enjoyed it thoroughly. Yes, all 3 seasons. No doubt I consider season 3 to have been the best.

#StarTrekPicard #STPicard

TGIF! I can't believe another #BadBatch season has come to an end, and what a great episode of #TheMandolarian and #STPicard this week!! It's a great time to be a fan of sci-fi, no doubt. #FridaySelfie #TGIF #FridayVibes #Coffee #Caffeine #OfficeSelfie #CubicleSelfie #NoSpoilers

Ich habe es mehrfach mit Staffel 2 versucht, hab dann endgültig abgebrochen. Aktuell arbeite ich mich durch S2 von Picard, weil Staffel 3 sich ja lohnen soll. So erzählt man es sich jedenfalls... #STPicard #StarTrek

Why is ST Picard broadcast 24 hrs *after* the US?
It's on there. I know it's only 24hrs, but I've just sat down to watch it.
There are dozens of reaction vids already on youtube!

There's a new 4k BD just announced with all 4 TNG films, and I just pre-ordered it.

"Insurrection" is my favorite of all ST films. It's true Trek IMHO, very well done too.

Picard: "How many people does it take, Admiral, before it becomes wrong? A thousand, 10 thousand? A million?
[angry] How many people does it take, Admiral?"

Yep, truest Trek, the kind I like: ethical dilemmas galore.

It’s clear to me that #stpicard is being written AT Ben and Adam.

It’s a message: “back off on the blown out an airlock thing” mother-effers

So, I'm sure it's just to make use dislike #CaptainShaw right away, but in what world does a #Starfleet captain decide by what name a crew member goes?
If #SevenOfNine says her current name is Seven, then he should just call her Commander Seven, and not insist on her going by her birth name of #AnnikaHansen.

When the guy on #BeverlyCrusher's ship said he was her son, I half expected him to say "hi, dad". However, I also feel like the writers only want us to think that way. I'm guessing he might be some kind of clone / genetically engineered person?

Still not fond of #RaffiMusiker, though I can't quite put my finger on it why... Something about the kind of storylines she usually is involved with?
Glad they didn't actually make her an addict who had fallen off the wagon again though.

Nice seeing a reference to the #Enterprise C btw, in the form of Captain #RachelGarrett.

The best part of season 3 of Star Trek: Picard probably is the music. <3
Lovely callbacks to tunes from previous films and series in it.

The attack on the Starfleet recruitment center felt like it was staged.

I appreciate that we at least got to see Laris and an explanation for what I assume will be the lack of her presence for the rest of the season. Though I would have preferred to have her in the a full season for once.

#StarTrek #STPicard #TNG #Picard3

Episode one was good. Spoiler comments to follow.

Crusher’s son is obviously Picard’s son. I’m a little disappointed they went that direction, but we’ll see.

I’m glad the Raffi was operating as part of SF Intel and hadn’t really relapsed. My theory is that Worf will be revealed as her handler. The “warrior” comment and their communications felt very Worf to me.

Star Trek: Picard, Season 2 so far

I'm really enjoying #StarTrek #Picard season 2 thus far. The pacing's much better than #STDiscovery, and I find this storyline also more interesting than that of season 1. It's also very good to see #Q (especially as portrayed by #JohnDeLancie) and #Guinan again.
#JeryRyan is also doing #SevenOfNine, or rather #AnnikaHansen quite some good. I like this more human character in this timeline.
While I like #PatrickStewart as #JeanLucPicard, it's also quite noticeable that he's in his eighties...
This #Borg queen definitely has a way to make my skin crawl, and I love it.
Anyway, enough about this season in general, I mostly want to share my thoughts about the latest episode, #S2E04, "The Watcher".

The Watcher

First of all, #ItoAghayere does a great job at portraying a younger, different, Guinan. One that apparently has never met Picard before, but one who is still suffering from 'time sickness' from the altered timeline.
This annoyed me at first, as I felt like they were ignoring the events from the TNG episode "Time's Arrow", in which Picard travels back to the 1800s where he meets Guinan for her first time. Half-way the episode I thought that she might be a daughter of Guinan instead, based on her reaction when he finally mentions his name "Picard" and her wanting to introduce her to her 'supervisor' instead. But some people in the comments section of #TrekCulture's "Ups and Downs" video for this episode pointed out this actually does make sense, and referred to a quote by a co-showrunner of the series:

«This Guinan wouldn't remember Picard because in this alternate timeline, the TNG episode "Time's Arrow" never happened. Because there was no Federation, those events did not play out the same. No previous relationship exists. However, she still was likely traveling to Earth and, as we know, she hung around a bit. So this Guinan is different. But she, of course, can sense something is off. She's going through a kind of time-sickness thanks to Q's meddling with the timeline.»
— Terry Matalas, Star Trek: Picard co-showrunner

And yes, this actually does make sense! The TNG finale "All Good Things..." actually already established that events in the future, can ripple back into the past in Trek's universe. (With the forming of the anomaly in the future, erasing humanity from history in the past due to its anti-time.)
So, no, I don't find it much of a stretch that by traveling back in time on a timeline where The Federation was never formed because The Confederation was formed instead, they remain still in the past on a timeline where future Picard never travelled back to meet Guinan.

But what about Kirk Thatcher's portrayal as the punker?

This episode is filled with references to the fourth Star Trek film, #TheVoyageHome, and one of which is a cameo by #KirkThatcher, who played the punker in playing the song "I Hate You" loudly on his boombox on a bus, and who subsequently gets subdued by Spock with a Vulcan nerve pinch.
In this episode he appears again, once more playing this song (though in an updated version) way too loudly. When Seven comments about it, he seems to remember the nerve pinch, and quickly turns the volume down, apologising.
Quite some of the commenters seem to say this is at odds with the altered future timeline, as without a Federation version of Spock, this wouldn't have occurred.
My head-canon for this though is that while it might not have been Kirk and Spock, the events of The Voyage Home probably would still have happened. Sci-Fi loves the trope of time flowing in circles, and certain events being fixed in time. The whale probe would probably still have arrived at Earth, and some crew would likely still have travelled back in time to fetch some whales, where the altercation with the punker could still have happened.

Bell Riots

So far there has been speculation over whether or not we might be seeing Sisko return, as he would be there around this time for the #BellRiots, but in the past of a future where the Federation never existed, he would never have travelled back in time to inadvertently take the place of Gabriel Bell. The riots will likely still occur, but with the original Bell.

Gary Seven?

Quite some of the commenters also pointed out that the gateway that 'Laris' took Picard through at the end of the episode, as well as the mention of a 'Supervisor', seems to indicate the involvement of #Gary7's people from the #STTOS episode "Assignment: Earth".
I've yet to see this episode, but I'll be sure to watch it in the coming days with @Siiw.

Q lost his powers?

The ending of the episode also seems to indicate Q has lost his powers.
I wonder if one of the changes to the timeline inadvertently also is affecting the #QContinuum now, which he might've overseen. For instance that the lack of The Federation, also means the crew of Voyager never helped put an end to the civil war between the Q factions, or that the influence of the crew of the Enterprise never lead to him regaining his powers in #DejaQ.
But given his "and how unfortunate" reaction, it could also be something related to his health (which as already been alluded to by Picard's comment "you are not well"). If it was his own mistake, I would've expected an angrier reaction somehow...

I wish I hadn't been spoiled about the identity of the woman in that last scene with Q though... I'll not spoil it myself, but... watchers beware... (pun intended).

So, #SanctuaryDistricts from #STDS9 look to be a thing in #STPicard?
Star Trek: Picard Season 2 trailer from Star Trek Day 2021, starting at 1:53

Yes. Yes! YES!
"The trial never ends."
#JohnDeLancie is confirmed to reprise his role of #Q in season 2 of #StarTrekPicard!
https://blog.trekcore.com/2021/04/star-trek-picard-john-de-lancie-q-return-interview/

I so hope that everyone involved in #STPicard won't fuck this up...

Also, I'm calling it already: Q will explain away his aged appearance as making feel a clearly aged #Picard feel more comfortable with a little devious comment about how he didn't want to make #JeanLuc feel older than he is.

I'll soon finish watching #STVOY, which means I can finally start #STPicard. Won't watch everything in reverse to time-travel back to #STDSC, though. #StarTrek
