It is strange but on real world it's common to have a place where people can express theirs faithsAlso the idea that newer Starship hoiodecks have it's own aux power supply for the crew to use the holodeck in moments where the ship is facing extreme peril and likely destruction is really fucked up and I like it.
Your ship is out of power, in the middle of knowhere, heavily damaged and most of the crew is dead so you and the survivors take to the holodeck to have what you little fun you can have before the it's all over.
Watching the latest episode, the camera work remains awful in Picard. Almost every shot is a Dutch angle or just moves way too much.
While I see his point, if I remember correctly, the bug aliens that took hosts died once the "Queen" was destroyed. So there is a narrative out, if one of your main characters gets taken over.Star Trek: Picard Almost Brought Back a Different Classic Villain
Season 3 of the Star Trek show has revealed its big bad comes from the franchise's past–but they weren't always the potential candidates.gizmodo.com
There are women who get pregnant and give birth now at that age or even older. In the 24th century of Trek, where humans live well into their 100s (like the 140 year old McCoy), is it that far-fetched?I just can't get on board with the idea that Dr Crusher had another baby at like, 55 years old, after raising one son into adulthood already, and didn't tell the 60 year old father about it.
There just isn't an explanation for this I will accept as a possibility.
Same with the whole "not telling the father" angle.There are women who get pregnant and give birth now at that age or even older. In the 24th century of Trek, where humans live well into their 100s (like the 140 year old McCoy), is it that far-fetched?
Sounds pretty certain like Starfleet has been infiltrated and heavily compromised. Perfect reason to break out the literal museum pieces!Star Trek: Picard Almost Brought Back a Different Classic Villain

Maybe I read it wrong but I don't think the criticism was that Beverly shouldn't physically be able to get pregnant but that she was too mature and knew Picard too well to hide the baby from him. At that point she had served with him on two Enterprises for almost 20 years, they had a very close relationship, they trusted each other and suddenly she feels the need to get away from him and starfleet? I don't get that either.There are women who get pregnant and give birth now at that age or even older.

Well human lifespan is different in Trek, they maintain their peak longer too so it's not just like they live longer. No out of realm of possibility that women there can have kids 10-15 years later than women can on average in our world. And that's just the average, we actually have women giving birth who are older than that alreadyI just can't get on board with the idea that Dr Crusher had another baby at like, 55 years old, after raising one son into adulthood already, and didn't tell the 60 year old father about it.

I did think it was funny that Beverly was like: "I wanted to tell you after I found out I was pregnant. Then you got attacked. Then a bomb went off at your conference. Then the old ones invaded, and I felt I should just stay the fuck away from you."
I'd watch a Shaw show tbh. He's been awfully present for a side captain character. Usually those go into the background and disappear.

The real gut punch was at the end, when we, and Picard, realize exactly why Jack didn't want to know him.I felt a gut punch when Picard just casually asked Jack "well tell me why you didn't want to know me?"
And then they fucking sucker punched me with Riker talking to Troi about the beauty of the universe as I was literally watching my own children play.
Being a parent makes me such a fucking sap sometimes
I think he was in his early 60s. Picard has always been 10-15 years older than Stewart.Regarding this, am I just hallucinating or was TNG Picard in his 80's while running the Enterprise-D?
For what it's worth I am almost certain they trashed the enterprise sets given that SNW wasn't announced until two years later.
You know what? Fuck it. Paramount, throw all the money at Terry to do both a Picard S4/Titan-Shaw handoff into a new show. With Discovery going bye bye I want a new show, and I'll take someone at the helm who gets classic Trek.

Guess that about confirms that if we do get some sort of Next Next Generation, it'll be filming in Toronto lol.
In the future, the mysterious technology known as the condom has been lost to time. lolI was just going to say that the Baku Fountain of Youth planet probably reset the biological clocks on both Beverly and Troi by a good decade or so considering how old Troi was when she had both her kids.
So 24th Century tech + Fountain of Youth planet = Fertile Beverly.

Oh jeez, I totally forgot that plot point. I like how the beta canon had three different versions of who the child could be.When Kasidy Yates got pregnant and broke the news to Sisko, they said something about him accidentally forgetting to take his shot or infusion or something. Maybe it was that.
I also found that kind of silly, though TV shows make silly decisions about stuff like that pretty frequently. I'm guessing this is an element that gets very audience tested against. I also notice it often with location tags being super paranoid about Americans being ignorant of anything outside their borders. So you will just get "Los Angeles" as the location tag, because everyone knows where that is, but you'll get "Mexico City, Mexico", you know, just to be sure.Random observation, the "five years later", "present day", etc. tags are totally unnecessary...it's extremely obvious when the show changes time periods.
I feel bad because I am slightly marking out at that spoiler. I guess I have no shame. lolThe episode title for the last five episodes have been released:

Spoiler for who the Crewman is
It's Ro Laren

Oh fuck we getting some maquis action this season too? I'm so here for wrapping up all these 24th century story arcs. I'm still hoping we see any of the DS9 cast besides Worf obviouslyThe episode title for the last five episodes have been released:

Not going to click that spoiler. I want to be surprised at which not-DS9 character they're bringing back for a changeling story.
They should just have another episode of Miles suffering as the real homage to DS9.Geordi's gonna explain the problem to an off camera O'Brien and all you'll hear is a "Jaysus".
I don't know how much of the central cast they could get back now. I think the only people from the main cast would be Bashir and Miles. I would love Garak tone back, but I feel like the makeup might be a big ask but I think it would be cool to see him interact with Picard after what he had to go through in Chain of Command Part 2.What if O'Brien decides the academy is too much and goes back to being a transporter chief?
Honestly a funny DS9 reference would be Molly showing up. :p
I think someone mentioned that Andrew Robinson retired from acting, so he's probably the one person they couldn't get sadly.I don't know how much of the central cast they could get back now.
