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.

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.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
