Y'know who this version of Picard reminds me of? The Picard we see briefly when Q saves his life from the heart injury by changing history. It's a brief scene, but Stewart subtly plays Picard as someone who has never taken charge or taken a risk in his life when interacting with Riker. THAT'S who this Picard feels like, like as if Picard had permanently accepted Q's deal and remained that impotent little man. I think I know why the ships all look so much uglier. Original Star Trek was about heroes interacting with antagonists who often had a point and could often be light antiheroes rather than true villains. The colors were often about coding this. The colors said that these were the noblest of the noble and their antagonists were often also pretty noble people who were wrongheaded about one or two issues. This modern coloration codes everyone a different way. This is about poor morally grey antiheroes fighting pure evil straight from Hell. This is a story where the "heroes" would be villains in older Trek stories, and the villains are the kind of absolute nauseating monsters that the old shows only had once or twice a season, back when the seasons were much longer than they are now.

Vulkans wearing sunglasses does not bother me. That fact that it looked like a 1990 cosplayer who just got sunflower seeds and a slurpee with those $5 gas station sunglasses.....I do not get that. The uniforms get a "refresh" every movie and show so I expected it. These are not the worst and not the best. So far I'm actually ok with the ship design except for the odd triangle things at the Utopia Planitia attack, those were the only design I hated so far. I even think holographic communication makes sense...... So that's all picard. on Discovery the only thing I didn't mind so much was the uniforms....at first. Part of that was my confusion. I thought discovery was like a black ops off the book project to win the war at any cost. I won't re-watch it to verify that but I swear episode 3 or 4 that's how it is presented. That's why they can abuse the tardigrade animal. Have a human getting killed to make the jumps....cause it was all illegal and off the books.....but at some point they change it to where only the captain guy is doing that. I think if they would have called it "Star Trek: Black ops" and made it only one season and let them go full Jason Bourne and ended it with learning that the abuse of power may have helped stop the open war with the Klingons but killed women and children and is why the Klingons hate the federation even in the TNG time after the peace treaty that'd have been better. It would not be "Trek" and trekkies would still cry like a gender studies trannie but it's have been better

The sunglass thing reminds me of the opening scene in Terminator 3 where the Terminator puts on corny, over-the-top Elton John style sunglasses and rejects them, crushing them under his foot. Later in the movie he swipes a pair of cheap ones at a gas station convenience store, because well, he's got to wear shades apparently. Was this ST:P writers' attempt at similar comedy? If so, then it just fell flat.

In theory, they've moved from economical systems such as Capitalism or Socialism now that they have infinite resources for everybody. Housing isn't a problem either because they can move to different planets that now can keep life. It is canon that people work because they want, not because they need to. Either they will now say "capitalism and inequality" is back or that their perfect system doesn't work anymore either. Also, if this woman has done something bad while being a member of starfleet, they wouldn't make sense she's still in jail? Paris and Ro were there for less.

The spaceship is empty inside and doesn't fell like a real place without corridors or some continuity. We're just shown the transporter then cut to the bridge room.

I was very disappointed with how this episode panned out. It seems to me that they have turned Picard into a very self absorbed, bitter twisted old man full of hubris. I was annoyed by his arrogance at the start of the episode......"I never thought they would accept my resignation." I mean REALLY?? TNG Picard was never this self absorbed and arrogant in his own superiority. To even think you are so important that a massive interplanetary force numbering in the millions cannot survive without you is just......completely bonkers!! Also, smoking? We have never seen anyone smoking in any of the past ST series. The reason being, humanity is supposed to have "grown up". We finally concluded it was bad for us and stopped it altogether. Nope. We'll be vaping and puffing on cigars now. One highlight certainly was seeing Picard get his ass kicked over a table when the Romulans attacked the chateau. That did give me a laugh. The story just feels so disjointed. It doesn't seem to be flowing well at all. And the final moment at the end with "Engage".......it didn't have the effect it was supposed to have in making me feel warm and fuzzy. It felt forced. Cringeworthy. If this is an indicator of what's to come, then it doesn't bode well. Its pretty clear sadly the show looks to be a vanity project for Patrick Stewart, and the only thing they DO seem to have gotten right, is that Picard's character in the show is now practically a carbon copy of how Patrick now is in reality. Old. Twisted, and pretty bitter!!

To be fair, they're in a box. In TNG, DS9, and VOY pips within a box indicated either commodore or admiral. 1 pip - commodore, 2 pips - rear admiral, 3 pips - vice admiral, 4 pips - full admiral. I think they intended to show Picard as a full admiral. But that's weird in and of itself. There shouldn't be many full admirals, and they would be senior policy makers. Like, CinC level, which he obviously wasn't, since Raffi was summoned to the CinC's office in the same scene.

It might be different when both are no longer serving but is a grave case of insubordination otherwise. Now that is a continuity error. It also shows a weakness in Picard for his acceptance which could be intentional in the writer's view

So true. TNG just started again on Pick TV (Channel 11 on Freeview) too. I know Voyager isn't as good as TOS/TNG/DS9, but it's still better than everything afterwards (ENT, Abramsverse, DIS, PIC). Seven, the Doc and B'Elanna are great.

The uniform changes is a long held fan theory that different uniforms are issued to different times so time travelers would be able to have a quick way of determining approximately what year it is. Starfleet has an entire department for temporal studies after all, including a section that investigates any anomalies that happen. It is hinted that they also conduct actual time travel as well.

Only reason we are stuck with this Trek is that contract extension give to Kurtzman. Its the ONLY reason otherwise this dude would have been fired eons ago. At least with star wars, Kennedy is on her way out. Money eventually talks. CBS should do what some corporations do in Japan. If he/she does not quit, they continue to employee them by placing them in a generic office with only a computer and internet access. No minions..no subordinates, no lackeys :/ and no coffee!

I literally joked when I first heard Picard was coming out that there'd be some blasian woman who is a ninja-scientist-doctor-spy and capable of killing hundreds of warriors trained since birth to fight. Because it's almost in everything these days. And sure enough episode one ... boom. But the irritating part is that ALL positions of authority are filled with women, exclusively non-white, the few 'white' characters portrayed with white passing Jewish people. And all men are buffoons and doormats. It's the usual propaganda. Which is why I always private entertainment and haven't paid a cent to these evil subversive fuckers since 1995.
