Star Trek: Picard S2
Hold up.
President Hansen's husband is played by Isa Briones' real-world father? O.o
Star Trek: Picard S2
Oh, hey, an episode directed by Beverley Switzler.
Star Trek: Picard S2
Well, this Borg Queen seems wittier and bitchier than her predecessors.
Star Trek: Picard S2
That explains why Picard sounds so English for a French man.
Star Trek: Picard S2
And there's the bus punk. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
Shouldn't Guinan have recognised Picard, though?
Star Trek: Picard S2
"What does the yellow light mean?"
"Go really fast!"
Clearly Raffi has seen Starman.
Star Trek: Picard S2
Apparently Tracy Torme exists in this universe too. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
Gary Seven is still canon, then. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
Dr. Vasiliy Rozhenko, really? 
Star Trek: Picard S2
That was an unexpected musical number from Jurati. O.o
Star Trek: Picard S2
Isn't that Gaius Baltar?
Star Trek: Picard S2
"You didn't even say the good swear words!"
Priorities, kid. Priorities.
Star Trek: Picard S2
Twice now one of the crew has ended up in cuffs.
Star Trek: Picard S2
Don't tell me this FBI agent is from Carbon Creek. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
Kind of grim copying your dead friend into the Emergency Combat Hologram, but I guess that worked in Jurati's favour, huh?
Star Trek: Picard S2
Starting to think the Soong line might be more trouble than it's worth. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
Kind of an amusing touch that the mercs that the queen hired are using laser sights in much the same way as a full drone.
Star Trek: Picard S2, grim death by transporter
JFC, what a way to go: transported _into_ the chateau's walls. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
"Did my donation not buy me five minutes of facetime?"
That's not how donations are supposed to work, Soong, you dildo.

@Jo every modern TV show exists in the Star Trek universe. It's our future. 😵
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo so you are saying if i never watch Picard, i never have to think about Morty and his uncouth relative?
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo That's... Impressive
Star Trek: Picard S2
I love Unimatrix-01 as a character concept (much as I love Unicron from the Transformers universes.)
The simple, but mind-bending idea that in every universe, given enough time/development, reality will produce Unimatrix-01. It's one of my favorite Trek elements.
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo I was confused about this at first but I think it's because Time's Arrow didn't happen in this timeline? Or the writers just forgot lol
Star Trek: Picard S2
@careth That actually makes sense tbh.
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo I really wondered about this but it's deliberate apparently. Because in this timeline TNG didn't happen, so that whole time travel thing with them didn't happen either.
I have a lot of gripes with Picard S2 but this point seems fair. 😁
Star Trek: Picard S2
@mike Oh, right. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
Star Trek: Picard S2
@bipolaron @mike The events of TNG still happened as of S1. In S2, Team Picard (for want of a better name) has been pulled into a new timeline created by Q after an encounter with the Borg in the original timeline led Picard to self-destruct the new Stargazer and take everyone with it.
If anything, I expect a return to that original timeline.
re: Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo Yes. That was my thought when I watched that episode too. :D
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo LOL yep
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo All it would have taken is Wil Wheaton to have been cast as the next Doctor for us to have had all of #DoctorWho retconned into #StarTrek.
Star Trek: Picard S2
@BalooUriza IDW would have hated that. 
Star Trek: Picard S2
@Jo Wesley Crusher as The Doctor/Traveler.... Do you think he'd get along with Q now?
Star Trek: Picard S2
Rick & Morty exists in the Star Trek universe.
Process that, if you can.
