Star Trek: Picard - Amazon Prime [** POSSIBLE SPOILERS **]

Slydice

Not working!

Seems to have disappeared back off the net!

Set Sensors to Max! Find that trailer!

pixelburp

Weirdly, the fact it opens on a vineyard feels like a good sign. It never featured that much in TNG, but that it's there is reassuring.

Slydice

OK, have seen it! Still no shareable link

Vineyard was a big deal for that episode to show his relationship with his Nephew

TheValeyard

Gahahahahh


Where's that trailer gone it was it a fake!!!

Awwwwwwwwwww man...the flurry of the TNG theme and the end......:eek:

Also gimme some Chateau Picard...CBS could make a mint licensing that to some vineyard

Admiral Picard always sounds weird, I could never see him giving up the chair. "Most daring rescue in history" really makes that ensign seem more stupid.

pixelburp

No less weird than 'Admiral Kirk', never could believe someone as cavalier as Kirk would be offered Admiral, let alone take the position (obviously they eventually reversed it)

And 15 years is a long time; people in the Federation might live longer, but always looked like the Academy was filled with 18-21 year olds; it's entirely believable a young ensign might be unaware of who Picard was.

Inviere

Any speculation on what might have made him quit Starfleet? A death? A mission? A failure? I wonder if Riker dies??

Smiles35

That looks great. Introduces lots of questions as to what actually happened during Star Fleets rescue op to Romulus and Picards role. Not that those questions were not there already but consider my appetite whetted.

Maybe Janeway tricked him into it after that rescue mission they mention:

Admiral Janeway: Thank you for meeting me Jean Luc.

Captain Picard: My pleasure.

Admiral Janeway: An Admiral says what?

Captain Picard: What?

[Janeway throws extra rank-pips at him and then runs out the door]

Admiral Janeway: Ha! The Fleet is your problem now!!!! (Meep Meep!)

Admiral Picard: .......F***K!!!

Evacuation of Romulus probably. Which the Federation Council said no, but he went ahead and did it anyway.

This could well be it

Hmm, I wonder did he lie to an entire fleet? Starfleet may have said no, and in true Picard fashion, he did what he thought was right. That'd be an interesting beginning...

True. I suppose it always strikes me as weirder with Picard because he was still a captain in his 70s and Kirk was an admiral in his 40s.

Seems like a stretch given all his accomplishments.

Sounds more like grounds for a court martial than a promotion.

Never underestimate the speed with which youth or the following generation to forget the last. The Federation's a big place, with a lot of moving parts; and honestly if this cadet is on front-desk duty, I'm guessing he's not Red Squadron material

Sad Professor

I'm hoping that the young ensign in the earlier footage knows who Picard is but just doesn't recognise him.

TheValeyard

Evade wrote: »

I'd say he was already an Admiral, which is how he gave the order.

A person on the street, sure. Someone who's been through four years of Starfleet Academy, the place with holoportraits of famous officers, is a stretch.

EDIT: I think the portraits might be Sarfleet Headquarters

Or as SadProf says, maybe he just doesn't know what Picard looks like, and has heard of him. Maybe it's also one of those "You're Picard, man you're so old!" kind of exchanges.

And like I said, the guy's manning the front-desk

Sad Professor

I'll be surprised if they give Picard some personal trauma (like the loss of his crew etc) to overcome again. That didn't work out great with Generations and Stewart will remember why. I think his crisis of faith will be in Starfleet.

"15 years ago today, you lead us out of the darkness. You commanded the greatest rescue armada in history. Then, the unimaginable. What did that cost you? Your faith? Your faith in us? Your faith in yourself? Tell us - why did you leave Starfleet, Admiral?"

Who is the "us"? And are they both the same "us"? If this is a Romulan Starfleet officer speaking, the first "us" may mean Romulans and the second Starfleet.

//edit – video seems to have become "unavailable". Was a short teaser trailer. Probably have to wait until Amazon release an international version or something

Youtube working now!

This looks good.... discovery is actually great and... Star Wars is kinda terrible at the moment.... interesting.....

_Kaiser_

That looks better than I expected. More the tone than anything else. But we'll see if that holds when we get the full trailer

That seems like the best fit for the narration.

It's at this point they present him with a Romulan version of Data to make up for that desperate Shinzon business. That's my theory, I'm sticking to it.

Is that a flute playing at the end?

Here's the non-geo blocked official one:

Looks ok, but the delivery from the actress doing the voiceover seems forced and somewhat wooden. Won’t know what to make of this until we see more

Why is Michael Burnham desecrating the sacridity of TNG era Trek?

It certainly sounds like one.

Wow that looks great. This could actually be really good.

I definitely think it has something to do with Romulans and Starfleet. Like another poster said maybe Picard was an Admiral in charge of the fleet and ordered the rescue of Romulans from Romulas or other planets in the Empire going against orders of Starfleet command itself.

Stop moaning ffs

I am really excited to see this. He is an actor talented beyond measure. And Picard is my favourite captain but also, performed so perfectly.
I just hope the story lives up to it. Breathe new life into Star Trek.

Sounds Romulan to me.

Oh and I cannot wait to see the series. This has made my night and watched the trailer about 4 times already.

AtomicHorror

15 years after the destruction of Romulus would put this series starting around 2402- the first Star Trek show set in the 25th century. Nearly 40 years since Picard took command of the Ent-D.

Is it a TV series or a film?

TV series. It'll be released weekly on Amazon's video service. Starts later this year sometime.

TomSweeney

Someone mentioned how certain futures don't exist anymore ?
Is this from the JJ Abrams film messing up the timelines or something else in Nemesis ?

pixelburp

Do we know for sure that the Romulans are figuring in this plot, or are we just extrapolating from what we already know from Nemesis & the 2009's info that Prime Roumlus' home system was destroyed?

Yes, Kurtzman has confirmed it:

Now, Kurtzman — as part of a Creative Space interview with The Hollywood Reporter (posting Wednesday) — is ready to reveal one massive clue about the premise of his CBS All Access Picard effort, due in late 2019: "Picard's life was radically altered by the dissolution of the Romulan Empire," Kurtzman tells THR.

Cool, thanks: OK, so I'm guessing Romulan empire collapse from its home system being vapourised, Picard organising a makeshift rescue fleet... then what?

I suppose, with Romulus no longer in control, Cardassia and the Klingons move in, maybe even the Federation makes overtures towards fringe systems who were less than willing participants of the empire. Deals are struck, said refugees maybe sent to Cardassia?

there was another snippet release a few days ago, where an ensign/cadet was asking picard who he was
