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.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
