Prime. It's the same Picard as in The Next Generation.
The real answer is not to care about lore like that, as the show has aspects of both. Don't think too hard and enjoy the ride.
What do you mean? That the creators don't care much for continuity? There's no reason to believe that. And what do you mean by "aspects of both"? That they acknowledge the fact that Romulus got destroyed? That doesn't change anything, since that DID happen in the primeverse.
Yeah, same. For what it's worth, I suspect his reaction is probably more along the lines of simple surprise than irritation--if only 'cause it'd fit the character much better. And yeah, I definitely wanna see some of the old crew again. Michael Dorn's wanted to come back as Worf for years and years.I never pictured Picard as someone who would care if somebody didn't recognize him. Didn't think he'd have that kind of ego.
Still super excited for this series though, can't wait to see where we find Picard after allt his time. I just hope they don't completely ignore everybody from TNG. One would think Picard would be close with at least some of them.

"Computer: emergency bowel transport. Picard authorization Kappa Rho Alpha Pi"What if the first episode is just Picard confused and looking for the bathroom ;_;
FTFY"Computer: emergency bowel transport. Picard authorization Charlie Rho Alpha Pi"
Originally had that, but I stuck to the Greek letters.
"Computer: emergency bowel transport. Picard authorization Kappa Rho Alpha Pi"
Picard got Kirk killed. :pIt's the final proof that Kirk was the best captain! Everyone forgot about Picard in 20 years, but everyone still remembers Kirk 100 years after TOS.
Yeah his stuff is amazing, makes me sad he is a total cuntI was so bummed when I found out--used to love that song.

(Also I def. want Dr Crusher in there somewhere. Gates McFadden did a lot with, well, not a huge amount of great material for her character, and Crusher and Picard always played off one-another well, romantically or no. Plus, it'd be nice to spite Red Letter Media, since they wanted to fridge her.)
Star Trek: Discovery is apparently going to be set post-Voyager in it's upcoming season from what I've read.
This idea intrigues me. Is Larry David a Trekie?Hoping for a Star Trek Curb your Enthusiasm, with Picard face palming at the end of each episode.
They better have some top tier writers on this. They can't screw this up.
I thought the premise of the show is basically what happened in the first JJ Abrams Star Trek and how the non-existance of the Romulan Empire changed course of life for Picard?

No, it's set in the aftermath of the destruction of Romulus, as far as I'm aware. Romulus was destroyed in the Prime universe, and Nero/Spock were dragged back in time because of it. At this point, Nero begins his campaign of revenge and the timeline splits.I thought the premise of the show is basically what happened in the first JJ Abrams Star Trek and how the non-existance of the Romulan Empire changed course of life for Picard?
Right, the destruction of Romulus happened in the Prime Timeline.
(For the record, I'm of the opinion that trying to keep track of continuity in Trek is basically pointless as it's been hopelessly broken since TOS - and, like, I do mean since TOS; TOS contradicted itself constantly, to say nothing of the later shows or movies - but the whole Kelvin Timeline/Prime Timeline thing's relatively easy to keep straight. In the Prime Timeline, Vulcan still exists as of the late 24th century, but Romulus gets destroyed by some kind of super-duper-nova. In the Kelvin Timeline, Vulcan was destroyed in the mid 23rd century, and the jury's still out on Romulus, tho they do have quite a bit more warning that the super-duper-nova could become a problem than they did in the Prime Timeline.)
Prime universe: Supernova destroyed Romulus
Supernova sent Spock and Nero back in time creating the Kelvin timeline
Prime universe: Picard deals with the fallout of Romulus being destroyed.
Ok, now I understand. Thanks!No, it's set in the aftermath of the destruction of Romulus, as far as I'm aware. Romulus was destroyed in the Prime universe, and Nero/Spock were dragged back in time because of it. At this point, Nero begins his campaign of revenge and the timeline splits.
This is the aftermath of the Romulus event in the Prime universe, not the J.J.-verse.
no worries :)
At least the cut of the top part of the uniform looks TNG-y.
Watching this video, it seems like things have been a bit bumpy behind the scenes. And I'm worried about the timeline change... it's disappointing the visual design might have to take a larger departure. That said, it seems this video was wrong about 'not a single frame of an actor in costume' being filmed yet.
edit - am I wrong in thinking this is not part of the original TNG/original canon timeline?
I wonder if Spock counts as missing or as dead in the prime timeline.You are. It is literally a follow up to the events of the portion of 09's backstory where Romulus got supernova'd.
Entirely possible they have no idea Spock got sent back in time, so yes, that seems plausible. Sounds like a good question to be answered by this show.I wonder if Spock counts as missing or as dead in the prime timeline.
