I’m not a big fan of Discovery but I like Picard so far.
Saw it. Enjoyed it. Good to see Brent Spiner around, even though we saw about that much in the trailer. New storyline looks interesting.
I enjoyed it.
Not sure what’s going on with the ending scene tho’.
I’ve seen video of her on Comicon Panels with the cast. She seems close with everyone.
I can easily see her returning for a limited role. Maybe a couple episodes?
In the STTNG episode, “All Good Things,” Q showed Picard a possible future in which Beverly was in command of a Starfleet medical ship. (Yes, I realize Q was manipulating events. And let’s not have Q return. He should stay away. He could be bothering Janeway instead.) That could be a good way to reintroduce her.
I’m just waiting for Bethesda to poke at them for stealing part of Fallout 4’s plot. (And a sidequest from 3.)
It’s only one toaster now, isn’t it? Unless I missed something. I kept turning the sound up and down.
I like Discovery and I like this! I can’t wait to see Seven. She looks like a complete badass in the season preview at the end.
Toaster?
I hardly knew her.
Yeah, I didn’t catch the reference either.

“Toaster” was the slur used in the remake of Battlestar Galactica for the humanoid cylons. So it refers to realistic androids.
I liked the episode a lot.
I’m surprised there isn’t more discussion of this here. I thought it was great—Picard immediately felt right, still the moral center trying to do what’s right; I had been a little afraid they’d make him jaded, burnt out by his experiences and trying not to get involved, but he’s immediately on the ball. I’m fine with reneging on the Federation’s utopia, that sort of thing just doesn’t really work anymore, but I’m glad to see they seem to want to keep true to Picard’s character. Although I’m not too sure about the reliance on the plot device of things coming to him in a dream; that could get old quick.
So am I right to think that this is the continuation of the timeline we left with the destruction of Romulus’ sun, which led to the Kelvin-timeline?
Anyway, it might just be nostalgia clouding my judgment, but I thought this was a much better beginning than Discovery. I hope it holds up!
My guess is that the Borg now have a way to look like any race they want. Makes infiltration easier. They probably have a piece of Data’s posotronic whatever plot device (Borg Queen took it during ST: First Contact) so they can have human-like emotions.

Since when have the Borg been about subtlety? I think it’s more likely to be a Romulan attempt to control Borg tech–the ships were distinctly Romulan. It’ll go up in (probably literal) flames, of course.
I assume the creators of the Synths used Borg tech to fill in what they couldn’t get from B4’s corpse.
So is the only way to watch this to subscribe to CBS All Access? Seems like it from what I can tell. I’m loathe to pay even more for TV at this point - I already pay for cable, Netflix, Hulu, etc etc.
So Jean Luc did make Admiral.
Even Picard had to break eventually.
You could wait a bit to rent it. A bit to rent.
