Surely those translations where made months ago. It's not like produce all the translations in the 24 hours between the CSB airing and the Prime airing.

They were. TV VOD episodes are ready way in advance and were already sitting on the CDN servers.

The delay is just to promote the CBS streaming service. It's just an artificial delay in the name of greed.

It depends how long before airing Amazon gets their hands on the finished episodes, CBS aren't doing any of that translating. Anime simuldubs are on a pretty tight schedule and they usually only have English to worry about.

Thanks Evade!

Thats ok.

Just watched TNG episode ''A Measure of a Man'' and its still brilliant. Some parts I remembered other parts that so. Guinen was very pivotel in that too. If she was not there it could have gone very different.

I am glad she is going to be in Season two.

Episode 2: Not a perfect episode.... but.... pretty pretty.... pretty good
The show really got a nice budget... it looks great...could have been released as a movie

Late I'd say, definitely Friday.

OK this show is being made to binge. I know that CBS are doing a weekly but it is being made for the future binge watcher.
Episode ends are coming out of nowhere and really look like they are meant to immediately flow into the next episode.

Also, why is this a 44min/episode show? It's on streaming services yet still being made for TV format.

Future syndication to TV networks, I'd imagine!

Thought episode 2 ended very suddenly... out of nowhere it was... “next week on Picard”

Ok....I'm very into It now. Wasn't sure about it last week but I really like it now!

Anyone here love to see a Stargazer series? I know I would not mind seeing it.

Moar Prequels???

The "true holders" of Trek lore would go into internet meltdown

Every prequel, Star Trek or not, has problems of either being constrained by previously established events or just ignoring them. Doubly so if using characters whose fates are already known. It might work in small doses around a specific event but not as a whole series.

Anyone else find Orla Brady's acting a little distracting for a Romulan character?

I know they normally have American/British accents but something a bit jarring about the "fiery oirish temper" on a Romulan.

Also the goddamn soft T's. Makes me cringe every time.

Nah, I love it.

OK that is her natural accent, people never seem to complain about American and British accents on alien species.
They have said that the character learned English in Ireland and lived there, well then she will have an Irish accent and mannerisms.

FFS the Americans and ROW will not have a clue what an Irish accent is like anyway. I mean even O'Brien was a muted one.

If it's deliberate then that's different I guess. I assumed they would all learn English in the same Romulan school

Interesting take on it

Evade · 01-02-2020 5:56pm

Surely she should have a Romulan accent if not using a universal translator? They should have picked an accent and had all Romulans actually speaking English speak with that accent. And if you're learning a language you really should learn a neutral version of it first. Learn the rules, then learn when to ignore them.

Stark · 01-02-2020 5:58pm

What's the "neutral version" of English?

Did she say "cheeky feckers" in the episode?

I thought when she was acting with Picard at the chatee she acted better than when they were at the apartment as she seemed to to but as much effort into her acting there.
