I'm getting a Reman feeling from that enemy ship

Looks a tiny bit like the Narada from ST '09.

Exactly. From what I've seen from people who have actually seen Season 3 this trailer apparently shows very little and there are some misdirects.

Shinzon was a clone of Picard, grown specifically as part of a plan to replace Picard and plant a spy in the Federation, which later got abandoned and he was thrown into the mines on Remus to die... There was no sister.

That we know of

The F has had a very recent refresh in STO, potentially to make it closer to the Picard version.

I think it's the other way around, the guy who took the Odyssey class "refit" (the newest refit isn't used until 2411 in-game) Enterprise F mesh in STO said CBS used his model and just freshened it up with some metallic textures for the show.

That group has a lot of show runners and insiders posting there too.

Mixed feelings on the F, glad that STO is getting some love by the shows, they're some great designs in there, but the Odyssey class is a decade old at this point, would have been nice to see something we haven't saw before. Then again, it seems to be a cult favorite. I prefer the E look over the F still.

So who do you think she may be? She does seems to know Picard quite well.

That would be the Titan-A at this point.  Unless that's also in STO?

Those two pics are the Enterprise F, but the Titan-A is also based off of an old design, the Shangri-La I believe, kit bashed with additional constitution class elements.

Hello,

If memory serves, the Moriarty hologram was created with the express purpose of being able to trick Data.  So, perhaps he is being reactivated to counter Lore.

Given the appearance of Lore, it's possible she's a reprogrammed version of his and Data's mom, just with a different actress.

What would be the purpose? Think for a moment WHY Shinzon was created.  Picard never had a sister... Shinzon was meant to replace Picard... Romulans don't do anything without a reason... What POSSIBLE purpose could a "sister" serve their plot, when she would instantly be revealed as fake?

I'm aware that's the F, I mean about seeing something totally new.  Unless the Titan-A is in STO then it's our new ship.  And while it's got old bits in there, kitbashing is how we get most of our ships in Trek so that's nothing new.

HOLY SH............T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This looks daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn good !!!!!!!

 

 

The trailers for the first two seasons looked good too, but we all saw how quickly they fell apart.

And it's all the same writers

Season 1 was bad. Season 2 was good. Love seeing Q again and glad they closed that chapter between him and Picard in a proper way. I am hoping season 3 nails it. We shall see.

what they spin off of it.  

Would like to see them spin of Seven and the Fenris Rangers being it referenced a few times a season ;)

I think they've set the stage for Seven at least, also, just like with the Enterprise sets, they built those Titan ones to last as not just some temporary set of the week, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a Titan series (or maybe an

 

Enterprise-G

one) following up on Dominion, Romulus, Delta Quadrant, and then finally new things unique to that century.

I'd be surprised if Discovery makes it past the next season, even the disco die hards are starting to get tired of it, which also set the stage for a 31st century starfleet academy series. Strange New Worlds is starting to sound like it'a going to be a limited series too, they're already setting Kirk up, and POST voyager/nemesis has been the number one fan request for a new series since 2001.

I hope Terry Matalas is the key player in whatever they go with, after CBS finally got Alex Kurtzman out of the mix during the middle of Picard's season 2 planning, it really started to shine. I thought Season 2 of Picard was excellent, and 3 keeping up the pace already. Season 1 was rough, mostly as it was a radical departure of what we'd expect from Picard and other characters, but once you realized it wasn't going to be a TNG clone, it was easier to stomach. I do hope they axe Raffi, she's just not a likable character, she's wildly unstable and I just can't take her seriously, she's basically forced at this point.

LOL. You think Kurtzman isn't in the mix?

Sigh. Terry was given priority from the studio over Kurtzman. He’s still there, but isn’t main showrunner, particularly when it comes to writing, doesn’t matter if his name is first on the credits or not.

No he wasn't. He was hired by Kurtzman to do exactly what he's doing. Exactly what Kurtzman's role was from the beginning of the new TREKs.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
