Picard S2

[Lightning]

And that boys and girls is why shows like this tend to be so disjointed. 21 producers...all having their say. What a joke.

Hard to get an exact number, but I suspect well less than half of those have input that shows up on the screen. Rod Roddenberry gets a producer credit, and he isn't involved in the running of the show, they just want the name in the credits.

So…do people, including “Q”, acknowledge that Picard is dead and that they are only interacting with a synthetic facsimile?

(Man, the broader metaphor of a series led by a synthetic facsimile of a dead classic character works on so many levels regarding Kurtzman Trek)

For that matter, why not just pull the transporter logs for Kirk and Spock out of the archives and make copies of them too. I mean, if the transporter can disassemble you on a molecular level, transport them through sub space, and reassemble you with all of your memories intact, why not do it into a synthetic body as well?

Even if they don't all give direct input on the show, I'm telling you that's way too many cooks. Speaking from the experience of working on a large budget TV series that had tons of producers. It just dilutes the storytelling because everyone thinks they know best.

In my experience as a writer, it’s like when my books go through several editors, and they all think they know how the story should go better than me!

I think the data collected by the transporter get's cached after a certain cycle to keep the data fresh and preserve it's ram??. And i'd assume they wouldn't archive unless the users each expressed consent to have their dna stored for fear of copies or replication done against their will. I'm totally assuming since i'm not in starfleet and haven't read the transporter manual lol. but any data eventually gets slowly corrupted and unusable after a while. (my two Latinum cents)

Secret Hideout likes your idea and is taking notes…

Didn’t spot any flame throwers operating when the bridge came under attack, so a definete improvement on Disco!

thought it was an okay opener. Surprised the fact that Picard is an artificial life form wasn’t addressed. Or if it was, so subtle I missed it.

also, how quick was the shuttle that picked up Picard and took him to The Stargazer (no bloody A,B,C or D I notice). Do journeys across the stars now take minutes? He got ship at ludicrous speed it seemed.

There is too much data during a transport to store under normal circumstances. The transporter logs just tell you what was transported and where. We see all the data from a transport stored twice. The first, Scotty on the Jenolian, wasn't actually storing his data just keeping it swirling in the buffer, it was just a super long standard transport. The other, was when the senior staff of DS9 got their bodies dumped into Dr. Bashir's holosuite. It took the entire computer core to store their brain patterns.

So you could easily save the info to make someone's dead body in a replicator, but "consciousness" takes way too much storage.

They did have someone in the ceiling grinding metal and shooting sparks down, like in Disco, though.

Fun fact: The title sequence of the Season 2 opener of Star Trek Picard lists out 3 Co-Producers, 2 Producers, 1 Consulting Producer, 3 Supervising Producers, 1 Co-Executive Producer and a whopping 11 Executive Producers. The various Producer credits (21 in total!) take up almost 1 minute out of the 1 and a half minute title sequence.

A very long almost tedious opening titles ending with a pre under the knife PS from season one looking about 120 years old lol..

How did they put Data and Picard on what looked like a Memory stick then... just asking.

Well I watched the first Ep...there are still certain characters i just dislike from S1 who talk 90 miles an hour about absolutely nothing important...
Did 7 have a Holo version of the Other captain with the beard ?
Same Captain with his stoggie is still cool and like the fact he clicks his lighter but never ignites his cigar.

I thought I'd started the wrong season as it seemed to playout like the pilot episode in France for like 5 minutes or so, she seemed to be only one acknowledging his death?
It All got a bit wordy too quickly with little to no substance..

The best part was Q...
The change of his appearance to blend in with Picard made me lol.

I did for a long time think during the opening scene on the bridge that they were in a Kobayashi Maru simulation
Maybe they still are?

Well, we see a box with 3 glowing sticks that is running Data. We also know it's not actually Data, it's his memories from B4 running in a new appoximation of his program. So, logicaly, there's a standard positronic brain in the box running the Data Software. We know that unplugging the rods causes the Virtual Data to feel old, so those may or may not be the storage for Data's memories, could be anything vital.

As for Picard, I don't remember him getting stored on anything small. As far as I remember he was transferred directly from his brain to the new Synth positronic brain (which is specifically designed for that sort of thing, so it can much smaller than a standard computer core).

That would make more sense
I should rewatch the last seasons final Ep..

I think this episode affirmed my belief that Kurtzman Trek has a fetish for tentacles.

It reminded me of Dr Chanard from Hellraiser Hellbound, maybe thats where he found his fetish!

We know that, as a result of the 1243 producers of Picard, 976 of them have been reading these posts since 2020, and so at the end of this season, Q will turn Picard back into a real boy! Heck, they’ll probably steal my exact dialog that I posted however many posts ago on the thread.

I have a similar conclusion myself..
Or..

That Naughty old Borg Queen finally gets to Asimilate Picard all to herself lol..

Question: how come young Picard and Mama Yvette were dressed like they were in the 1930s/1940s?

They're into 20th Century Cosplay..
It was All the rage back in the day..
