Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

I can't wait to see those two together again, I hope Picard still calls him Number One.

l suspect your wishes will be granted.:)

Maybe though that dog collar may suggest different

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

Picard is set to debut on CBS (All Access) on 23 Jan 2020.

Riker & Troi are both confirmed as returning.

Didn't take long for this to be blocked due to copyright. You'd think they would want this to be out there to generate as much interest as posible.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

They did this with Discovery as well. I think it’s only to allow the trailer to appear with the correct distributor branding in each territory, which in the UK was Netflix for Discovery and is Amazon Prime for Picard. So we’re reliant on the local distributor getting their marketing effort together. IIRC it took Netflix a couple of weeks to put up the very first Discovery trailers in late 2017, but by that time the CBS version had been uploaded to YouTube so many times had they been hoping for a big bang when their version went up they’ll have been disappointed. I expect Amazon will find the same if they don’t get a move on. In the meantime I guess it’s only a matter of time before the CBS Picard trailer gets multiple unofficial uploads so perhaps we will get to see it shortly anyway.

Looks like Amazon uploaded their version about 3 hours ago. Here you go:

The one I posted was Amazon as well. Muppets :rolleyes:

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

Wow looks even better than the last trailer. Good to see Riker and Troi still together.

Data's face still looks weird, but Sooner is a lot older and heavier now.

I also spotted a ToS era Romulan Warbird during the space battle scenes. Brilliant.

Tis something to warm the cockles of one's heart in cold old January.:D

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

I wonder if Star Trek Discovery will be on at the same time, or if they'll show that later.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

I'll laugh my ass off. I think it was Pip who posted about streaming rivalry a few days ago and how Disney have banned ads for Netflix. There is no greater competition than Star Trek vs Star Trek and I would be fascinated to see the viewer stats if they did go heads to head even if only for one week before Netflix cried foul and changed the time. You can guarantee 99% of people would choose Picard over Discovery. The only viewers who would stick with Discovery are the younger "non-fans" who know nothing about TNG/DS9/Voyager. I have got a friend who is in that position atm and I am doing my best to persuade him to start TNG now otherwise he won't appreciate Picard.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

I’ve been working my way through ST:TNG on Netflix. Halfway through season 4 so far and absolutely loving it. It stands up really well. I only wish the photography had been done with the level of craftsmanship it should have been - i.e. assuming viewers would eventually be able to see the full widescreen picture rather than assuming they wouldn’t and being careless about things creeping into the edge of the shot. It is great in HD but the 4:3 aspect ratio does sadly detract from the overall experience.

Still, ST:Picard looks fabulous, and as they gave Sir Patrick a say in how the thing was made I think we can be confident it will look and feel authentic right from episode 1, rather than halfway through after realising that making Star Trek involves more than just putting “Star Trek” on the title card.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

it really does and you can already see special moments in it just from the trailers. Seeing him with Will on the bench, two old and dear friends who have been through so much, brought a lump to my throat.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
 

... and a tear to my eye. As did seeing Riker and Troi married with kids. I can’t wait to dive back into their universe.
