For sure but him appearing older would just make sense (contrary to data). The Q Continuum always wanted to make human comfortable while interacting with them (outside of Q craziness). They always appear in a form understandable by humans. So him appearing to people he already know as 30 years older because 30 years has passed (from a human perspective) just make sense from a lore perspective.

Reasoning accepted! :)

I actually expect the conspiracy around the events on Mars to be more.   Sure having the synths go crazy helps squash them and AI which the Romulans hate BUT at the same time that event hurt the relocation of their own people before the planet went poof from the supernova.     So I doubt the Romulans are behind the Mars attack, even though they hate synths so much the timing only hurts them more.  

 

DeLancie is and will definately make an apprearance. Q is an integral part of this story. Remember the final episode of TNG. If you guys havent watched it, watch it. Q is going to return and that's when things are going to get interesting. We all know Guinan is returning in Season 2. Picard is sick with a deadly disease and he will most likely die by the end of the series, unless some miracle happens. Unless Q saves him or something else saves his life. We shall see.

 

Spiner has said many times that Data will not come back, but he has never said B-4 isn't, so there is a chance B-4 will return, maybe in Season 3? 4? Who knows, but I got a feeling he will return with Data's memories and in a sense, become Data.

 

We shall see.

Just saw episode 3, it's moving at a steady pace, plot thickens.  Also, action, they've been sprinkling it in here and there for the newer generation that has ADD.

How many seasons will Picard do, any ideas? With just the first 3 episodes the writers have done excellent work in showing the brief history of what had happened prior to the present, and it is getting really interesting!

It's been renewed for a season 2. I don't feel like we'll see more than 4 seasons. I'd be surprised if we get past season 3. I honestly feel we'll wrap up Discovery during the 3rd season too, viewership is going to flatline on that one now that they've got a taste of "real" trek with Picard. 

 

I have a feeling though we'll get a real Star Trek show continuing after Picard, in the 25th century, with a starfleet ship and crew. CBS is seeing how many more subs they are pulling with Picard than they ever did with Discovery, they'll want to keep this timeline/universe going.

I doubt this series will be long to, it's so tied to this specific plot right now and it's not episodic like the original shows were which helped drag them out to so many episodes.   Besides, CBS has a good chunk of Trek planned out as far as TV goes.  After Picard s1, we get Discovery s3 and then the S31 season 1 should be next and then Picard s2.   So one trek show ends and another starts shortly after, keeping trek on for pretty much all year round.

 

The interesting thing comes when they start to move everything, even the movies, back together to one timeline and how they pull it off.

Guys Patrick Stewart is 79 years old. This series is definitely not gonna last too long as he is aging faster than I can count. I don’t think the studios wants him to suddenly pass away with a TV series on the run. They will end this series after a couple of seasons and that, as they say, is that, and I am quite sure we will also see the death of the Picard character.

He’ll end up in the Q continuum my bet.

Solid episode.

 

Spoiler

The ship battle was pretty good, introducing 7of9 this way was a surprise to me actually even though I knew she was in the show.

 

They're not shying away from the action either, next ep preview looks like we're in for a old style shootout. 

 

Agree, another great episode.

Spoiler

 

I'm starting to enjoy the multiple Cristobal Rios holograms on the ship with different personalities.

 

I hope next week's episode they do a back story on how Picard and Seven met.  Also wondering how Seven happened to be in the same area of Picard; did someone call her or did she hear in the "chatter" that Picard was on Vashti.

 

I see there are still carrying the Three Musketeers into Picard.

 

Lastly, I'm a little concerned with Dr. Agnes Jurati after her "conversation" with Commodore Oh.

 

 

It’d be great if we can axe the recycled TOS/DSC shuttles. And see a real starship. The runabout like vessel they’re on is cool, but lets see some fresh large scale designs, especially when they continue to discuss new class of ships and vessels with no imagery.

It would be cool to see but the way the story is going I don't expect to see much, at least for now.

All good things guys, it's better this way because when one show ends they can start right into the next one so we're not left with months of waiting for something new.

I think something I've taken from the show so far is that there really aren't as many starships just waiting to be used as other series have suggested.  Maybe thanks to the Utopia Planetia incident?

 

Picard seems to be on a freighter of sorts (La Sirena).  7/9 seems to be on some upgraded Delta Flyer looking ship.  The Romulan ship attacking was Kirk-era.  There's a lot of newer Romulan ships around the artefact though...

I can definitely see that, after the dominion war, mars incident, etc... and that they took Picards mothball concept and went with it. I still have a feeling we'll see a starship or two by seasons end.

    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
