And maybe Mars

Is there confirmation about Romulus? Have we passed the year it happened in the 2009 Star Trek?

Picard is set about 12 years after the destruction of Romulus.

Stark

The count down comics which serve as a prequel focus on events leading up to the supernova.

Slydice

I'm unlikely to read those comics. I'll probably end up looking for a summary or hope they give the tv audience a kinda gentle idea.

They are free online, pretty cool and short to read.

Slydice

hrmmm, a quick google found me two types of countdown comics

Star Trek Countdown - 4 of which 1 is available free
Star Trek Picard Countdown - 3 - none free, one not out yet

Picard Countdown #1 #2 out now, not #3

I was able to read the two Picard Countdown comics online for free. Site seemed legitimate enough.

True, though age must surely be creeping up, even on someone as effervescent as Stewart. Though acting is one of the few professions you'll see octo, or even nonogenarians still work

Indeed, I saw Christopher Plummer give a great performance in knives out-aged 90

Looks like a cross between Discovery and the TNG type 6.

Slydice

Another one. I hadn't noticed the starfleet insignia on the ships firing around the spacestation before.

So it's going to be on Amazon Prime internationally now, not Netflix?
When was that announced?
I seem to have missed that

Stark

That was announced early last year

Bobtheman

It's hard to track where we are in the Picard story. It's been a long time since the last movie
I'm looking at the comics. Anyway it will be good to see but I presume one has to join Amazon prime ? Im already on Netflix.

I can't get Amazon prime here in the Netherlands. Does anyone know if I can get Picard at all? If not it'll have to be extra legal

Go to primevideo.com and see if you can sign up there!

I can but it's region locked for the Netherlands to watch anything.

Edit: it used to be. Looks like I'm in luck now though hurrah

We have to use the same in Ireland, I think it's more EU without UK.
You should be grand for Picard so

Its set some `19 to 20 years after Nemesis which was in 2379.

There are other ways . I would say drop Netfliks and join Prime unless you want to watch season 3 of Discovery and watch other shows on Netfliks too.

Evade

I'm going to get Prime for the few week s Picard is on and watch a couple of other things on it in that time too.

Had to get an Eir line for the FTTH and got PrimeVideo free with it.

The_Wanderer

Eir is offering new and existing customers Amazon Prime Video free for a year from sign up date.

Just go to the revalent eir webpage, enter your details and your signed up. If you already have prime you can cancel the subscription and then sign up.

Absolutely perfect timing for Picard as I have Netflix but didn't have Prime until this offer came.

Is this prime video only so? Not full prime subscription for deliveries?

Just video

For those are waiting for Picard, but don't follow Discovery, the latest Short Trek, Children of Mars, isn't about Discovery, it's related to Picard. So you may wish to see that one if you would have otherwise passed on it.

Thank you. A few people in here have been asking about that. Have you seen it?

Yes, and while I don't want to spoil anything, I will at least say that it doesn't really reveal anything about Picard, as it's light on details.

Maybe of interest:

Alison Pill is due to be a regular in this.

She's also going to be in a show called Devs which just had it's trailer today:

Snip from wiki: computer engineer investigating a quantum computing company

Trailer:

Looks like she's getting some good SciFi / Tech grounding under her belt. Previously she was in Snowpiercer (2013)

Burty330

Will not watch.

Oh joy, the hot takes have started. Truly the show must be near.

She was also in Scott Pilgrim versus the World which was a gaming nerdfest of a movie.

Can't be stuck in the past forever! They're not going to make a show designed for TV in the 80's/90's in the 2020's... Enjoy your re-runs!

if it's anything like Discovery, which is not a star trek show at all, I won't be watching.

Actually TNG gets better on repeat viewings , so yes i will and yes i do!

This new incarnation is not real Star Trek as the guy in the video details with irrefutable descriptions.

TNG wasn't real Star Trek to TOS fans. Infact anything after the series which you started watching Star Trek "isn't real Star Trek"... so I guess it is circumstantial?

Of course it won't be! it's the 2020's now you know? They won't make a show based on techniques from 30 years ago...

TNG was ahead of its time.

Quality of this standard just can't be re-produced. The writing , the acting , the philosophy.. Superb!
