I'm getting a Reman feeling from that enemy ship

Looks a tiny bit like the Narada from ST '09.

Exactly. From what I've seen from people who have actually seen Season 3 this trailer apparently shows very little and there are some misdirects.

Shinzon was a clone of Picard, grown specifically as part of a plan to replace Picard and plant a spy in the Federation, which later got abandoned and he was thrown into the mines on Remus to die... There was no sister.

That we know of

The F has had a very recent refresh in STO, potentially to make it closer to the Picard version.

I think it's the other way around, the guy who took the Odyssey class "refit" (the newest refit isn't used until 2411 in-game) Enterprise F mesh in STO said CBS used his model and just freshened it up with some metallic textures for the show.

That group has a lot of show runners and insiders posting there too.





Mixed feelings on the F, glad that STO is getting some love by the shows, they're some great designs in there, but the Odyssey class is a decade old at this point, would have been nice to see something we haven't saw before. Then again, it seems to be a cult favorite. I prefer the E look over the F still.

So who do you think she may be? She does seems to know Picard quite well.

That would be the Titan-A at this point.  Unless that's also in STO?

Those two pics are the Enterprise F, but the Titan-A is also based off of an old design, the Shangri-La I believe, kit bashed with additional constitution class elements.

Hello,

If memory serves, the Moriarty hologram was created with the express purpose of being able to trick Data.  So, perhaps he is being reactivated to counter Lore.

Given the appearance of Lore, it's possible she's a reprogrammed version of his and Data's mom, just with a different actress.

What would be the purpose? Think for a moment WHY Shinzon was created.  Picard never had a sister... Shinzon was meant to replace Picard... Romulans don't do anything without a reason... What POSSIBLE purpose could a "sister" serve their plot, when she would instantly be revealed as fake?

I'm aware that's the F, I mean about seeing something totally new.  Unless the Titan-A is in STO then it's our new ship.  And while it's got old bits in there, kitbashing is how we get most of our ships in Trek so that's nothing new.

The trailers for the first two seasons looked good too, but we all saw how quickly they fell apart.

And it's all the same writers

Season 1 was bad. Season 2 was good. Love seeing Q again and glad they closed that chapter between him and Picard in a proper way. I am hoping season 3 nails it. We shall see.

Last night's episode was pretty good.

Agreed. I hate myself for being worried the entire time it was going to end 😛

There's still plenty of time...

Strong start for sure.  It'll be interesting to see where this goes, and most of all what they spin off of it.

Would like to see them spin of Seven and the Fenris Rangers being it referenced a few times a season

I think they've set the stage for Seven at least, also, just like with the Enterprise sets, they built those Titan ones to last as not just some temporary set of the week, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a Titan series (or maybe an

 

Enterprise-G

one) following up on Dominion, Romulus, Delta Quadrant, and then finally new things unique to that century.

I'd be surprised if Discovery makes it past the next season, even the disco die hards are starting to get tired of it, which also set the stage for a 31st century starfleet academy series. Strange New Worlds is starting to sound like it'a going to be a limited series too, they're already setting Kirk up, and POST voyager/nemesis has been the number one fan request for a new series since 2001.

I hope Terry Matalas is the key player in whatever they go with, after CBS finally got Alex Kurtzman out of the mix during the middle of Picard's season 2 planning, it really started to shine. I thought Season 2 of Picard was excellent, and 3 keeping up the pace already. Season 1 was rough, mostly as it was a radical departure of what we'd expect from Picard and other characters, but once you realized it wasn't going to be a TNG clone, it was easier to stomach. I do hope they axe Raffi, she's just not a likable character, she's wildly unstable and I just can't take her seriously, she's basically forced at this point.

Well, gotta say, season 3 is off to a good start. Lots of starship porn here. Hopefully, this keeps up!

LOL. You think Kurtzman isn't in the mix?

Sigh. Terry was given priority from the studio over Kurtzman. He’s still there, but isn’t main showrunner, particularly when it comes to writing, doesn’t matter if his name is first on the credits or not.

No he wasn't. He was hired by Kurtzman to do exactly what he's doing. Exactly what Kurtzman's role was from the beginning of the new TREKs.
