No worries, I had no clue what it was, I googled the image and went from there.Fair. I will have to go back and watch. I did re-watch all of TNG when the bluray remasters came out, but damn, even that has been a few years now. (and there may have been some tasty beverages enjoyed during the watching, exacerbating the problem)
I have a feeling Picard is going to pull a Skywalker and become a hermit, then be "recruited" to rejoin Star Fleet to help fight a new threat.
Depends on how hot the alien is...Does it include milking alien tits and drinking it?
And it failes and dies before day 1 no matter how good it may or may not be.... 3 little words "CBS ALL ACCESS"
Strike #2, it takes place in the new alternate timeline from the last 2 movies.
Strike #3, It will likely be as bad/politically correct and the last CBS series.
What are you considering the last two movies. Insurrection and Nemesis, or that JJ Abrams garbage?
IMHO the JJ Abrams stuff is best ignored.
Neither Insurrection nor Nemesis were particularly good films, but at least they kept the timeline/universe shit the same.

Also, can you remind me again what this whole controversy was about, because I watched through the series and thought it was good and didn't come across any political pandering.
Was it just that there were too many minority women in leadership positions? Because that sounds like a pretty silly complaint.
No problems with minorities or women. Star Trek has always been a leader in that, going back to the original series.
It's the Hollywood political correctness (not unique to just this series) that has ruined way too many series and movies in the past several years.
I've lost count of how many TV series I've stopped watching due to the corrupt Hollywood culture being pushed.
At least I now have much more time for other activities since there are so few shows worth watching.
Can you give some examples though? Because I am being serious, I just didn't see it. I'm trying to understand.
They really pushed a female lead (chick left the Walking Dead to take the role), way more so than they did with Janeway, they made the Klingons appear more "ethnically diverse" "African" just for the sake of being politically correct.
Hmm. I didn't follow all of the launch buzz, so I missed how much of a big deal they were making of a female lead. I'm just judging the series based on having watched it, and nothing feels unnatural or preachy about the series when watching it. At least not to me. That said, in previous Star Trek series one of the things i liked was that there was very little in the way of leads. They were a team. Some episodes focused more on one character or another, but overall it seemed like a cast where everyone played an equally significant role. The focus on the story of one person, which is the direction Discovery has gone a little bit more (but not completely) in, is lwaa good to me, but it still has some very good writing, great suspense and plot twists, good acting and good effects. The first season was really quite good!
I did chafe at the Klingon changes, but they never stood out as being africanized on some way. Just different than they should be, the way they were previously in the universe. I don't like it when they allow new people to come in and make changes to an existing universe. The appearances of all aliens should always stay true to where they were when they first appeared, at least starting with 1978's "The Motion Picture". 60's TV TOS should be an exception, because the low budget makeup department couldn't do anything well.
The rest of the stuff in this series is good enough though, that you almost forget about the Klingon problem once you get into it.
I've said it more than once, and even in this very forum. Any new Trek is good Trek.
Want to kill a good thing? Just keep being a bunch of "anything new is shit" sheep. You're a common breed now, and that's the real issue.
Honestly, I don't like the "radically altered" part. I want Picard to be Picard. Change everything else within reason, but don't change the character with 11+ years of canon behind him. Actually, Picard is one of my favorite characters, but I also wanted to see the non-kelvin Federation post Nemisis. There was already a solid history behind the Picard character to build on. The Kelvin timeline does not do Trek justice, and I am convinced that JJ should keep himself away from Star Trek and Star Wars both.
Color me dissapointed.
Yeah, I'm really getting sick of writers, directors, game development companies ect, just flipping the switch for the sake of it being easier to start a new timeline or giving a character a memory lapse instead of working with whats already been told. It seems like a cheap cop out and a sign of an unintelligent director or team of writers.
I was just thinking about it. Discovery and this new Picard series are shaping up to be a damn turkey sandwich when you wanted a juicy steak. That's the best analogy I can make. Yes it's something to eat but not anywhere near satisfying.
IMHO the JJ Abrams stuff is best ignored.
And when "new" Picard refers to photon torpedoes as "laser missiles" you can be there to cheer. The rest of us will be sparing ourselves from the debauchery of another classic franchise.I've said it more than once, and even in this very forum. Any new Trek is good Trek.

ST was never about being dark.
Strike #1, only available on CBS ALL ACCESS
They just re-assemble him like they did with Lore, except they give him an L-type discriminator by mistake and turn him into a badass.Side Note:
What is the screen cap in this post? Because I am not sure, but it looks like I am seeing Data in the background.
I wonder how I am going to explain resurrecting him after being blasted to bits in Nemesis...

I love Patrick Stewart and Picard is my favorite captain by far , but honestly i cant see how a 78yr old Stewart can do a show for the next 5-7 years.
Picard already looked old and weary on Nemesis
Why do people say this is in a new timeline ? It isn't. This series is in the original universe, the one Spock left to Kelvin timeline. Romulus got destroyed by nova in the original timeline.
nope this is how they do it..
"In the film Star Trek: Nemesis, Data beams Picard off an enemy ship before destroying it, sacrificing himself and saving the captain and crew of the Enterprise. However, Data previously copied his core memories into B-4, his lost brother who is introduced in the movie. This was done with the reluctant help of Geordi La Forge who voiced concerns about how this could cause B-4 to be nothing more than an exact duplicate of Data."
B-4 becomes Data.
