They build an android body for that discombobulated Trill soul and the doctor says they're drawing on work done for a guy called Picard 800 years earlier. They also note that a lot of the time they build android bodies and try to transfer people into them, it goes badly wrong, so they rarely do it.

I see, the whole thing sort of hurts my head to think about. I'm just thankful I gave up on Discovery after season 3. I admit things were starting to improve that year, but the season final showed me that the team behind these products doesn't know any restraint. The universe doesn't have to be ending every year.

Ran Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Rather contentless but it seems to promise a genuine attempt to recapture some of the TOS feel. Have they said if it'll be serialized or more standalone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they said if it'll be serialized or more standalone? Quote Myers elaborated on the series' approach to episodic storytelling, explaining that the writers wanted to "bring a modern character sensibility" to "Star Trek in the way Star Trek stories were always told. It’s a ship and it’s traveling to strange new worlds and we are going to tell big ideas science fiction adventures in an episodic mode. So we have room to meet new aliens, see new ships, visit new cultures."[37] That's from wikipedia but https://trekmovie.com/2020/09/08/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-will-reveal-number-ones-mind-blowing-backstory/ is the source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Number One's "mind blowing backstory" is that she's a blue skinned, shape shifting, mutant from the 20th century. This show hasn't even started yet and its so predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'm still 50/50 on Strange New Worlds. Pike was a fun character in season 2 of Discovery, but I know the people making this show, are violence and murder junkies; something I hate constantly seeing in Trek. I want to believe this will be something hopeful and uplifting, but I just don't know. Still, I gave Lower Decks and try and that ended up being a really great experience, so who knows.

Jaxom 1974 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Well...that just had all kinds of Running Man vibes going for it at one point there... But at least they're moving the story along and it, for the most part, still seems to be holding up thus far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklunkey Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I really want to enjoy Picard as I loved NG when I was growing up but SO much of this annoys me. Rios smoking on the bridge? I get that people change/mellow over time but Raffi calling him JL? It's like rank etc means nothing anymore in the Federation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I'm really amused by what rattles some people. Now I want everyone to smoke all the time and call each other by their first names in every Trek show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They view it as poisoning their bodies. Quark is even shocked that humans were dumb enough to poison their own body at one point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Rios wasn't smoking. The cigar was unlit; you must acquit. S2E2: Meh. I like that they're really leaning into the dark universe thing. Call me crazy, but: Spoiler The Borg queen might be up to something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Haven't seen the episode, but at least he wasn't vaping. You'd think in the Star Trek world you could smoke and then just repair the damage. I've never understood how synthahol works. Like it's just to have cocktails that taste the same but don't intoxicate? That's no fun. Apparently the Romulans are the only ones who know how to party. I'd love to see like "Romulan meth" on Lower Decks. Bonus points if it's blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine someone asking to pitch in and use a computer on the D bridge, while intoxicated? Picard would tear them a new one, if Riker or Worf didn’t intervene first.

DaveSumm Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Ep 2: Entertaining enough, but my god there isn’t a single plot point that isn’t stolen from some combination of Yesterday’s Enterprise, Mirror Mirror, Tapestry and The Voyage Home. A whole episode of ‘ooo, wouldn’t it be scary if there was an evil Federation? Imagine that!’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 RIos and his affectation for the cigar while on the bridge...well, Captain's prerogative...and they certainly were trying to be subtly funny every time he seemed about to light it, he was interrupted...though the affectation is something I'd expect out of a more senior captain, and one who hadn't been out of the service for a few years prior to getting that new ship...

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Why is the default always "Dark Universe"? Why can't they ever get transported to the hippie orgy dimension? "Like wow man, we just said, 'fuck it' y'know, and just spent the last 250 years getting high and getting sticky. Someone with rudimentary baking skills could totally rock up and rule this place.
