If you go looking for it so this you can be annoyed, then it’s there. If you accept that it’s part of life in the real world and so artistic representation would be odd to not have it then it’s less of a problem and just more character and world building.

Character introductions.  No release date so far.

 

Is it just me who can't see the video?  Or did they pull it?   Time to fire up the VPN and find out.

 

*edit* Can't seem to watch it, that's some top level region locking going on I guess.

No problems for me and I just played it.

Did she say Noonien-Singh? As in Kahn Noonien-Singh... interesting.

I was thinking the same when I saw the name.  It will be interesting to see how if at all she plays into Kahn's history.

Probably just a descendant at the most and a way to poke some more nostalgia at older fans.   Khan controlled a chunk of the world from what I remember back in his time, I figure he had quite the harem and loads of kids etc.

They canonized Uhura first name and gave Number 1 a full name.

They could have some fun with Kahn history... maybe that's why Bashir had such a worry about being kicked from service... augments were banned from Starfleet, but we never had any hard evidence as to why, outside of course knowing how they act in a TOS episode/movie (which haven't happened yet in SNW).. And Enterprise Arc. But I expect some character struggles if she is an augment/genetically enhanced that maybe shine more light on to that policy.

DS9 also shows the issues with genetic modification but the main reason they're banned is because of the Eugenics War, which has never actually been covered on screen...

Side note: I'm curious if S2 of Picard will reference that, since they appear to be traveling back to the 2010/20's (the year of the Ford Explorer Seven was driving in trailer).

I set mine to the U.S and could watch it. Which VPN are you using out of curiosity?

Actually I only tried it with Operas built in VPN, which is why I actually still keep Opera installed at this point.   I didn't try with one of the free ones out there.

I shocked to find that people like this tripe , i wish Abram's trek would go away

How is this Abram's trek?  All the new shows take place in the Prime timeline and NOT the Kelvin timeline.

its created or produced by Alex Kurtzman, who's an Abram's guy. He's involved in all Abram's stuff. All Star Trek since the 2009 movie I would consider Abrams regardless of the timeline.  And pretty much everything Kurtzman is involved in is terrible .... (in my opinion)

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
