Doomcock (in that video) described some of that. As he said, this is what you get when you hire the writers from “The Gilmore Girls” to do sci-fi. =shaking head=
Remember, again, that because of legal issues, this cannot be canon (nothing is canon after Enterprise, or in the TNG universe, nothing after “Nemesis”). I don’t recall they ever went into detail in “Generations” how Robert Picard & his son were killed (in the house or the barn). The wife/mother was not killed, she was apparently somewhere else. If he’s living on the Picard estate, where is she ? They could explain that by saying she couldn’t bear to stay and returned to England.
The dog named “Number 1” ? Tell us how you really feel about Riker, Jean-Luc.
Should have wife and kids... perhaps, but maybe he felt he was too old to do that. In actuality, his character should be in the vicinity of 90 (I think Picard was supposed to be close to 60 when he assumed command of the Enterprise after decades as Captain of the Stargazer). I don’t think they’ll touch any of that.
“BECAUSE IT WASN’T STARFLEET!!! Well, yeah, because it hasn’t been since the Abrams-Kurtzman abortionfest.
“You see after the reboot movie destroyed Romulus in the “real” timeline (curse them), there were 900 million Romulan refugees (actually this makes sense) and Starfleet was helping resettle them.”
They sure love destroying whole planets, Vulcan, Romulus (hell, why not go for the trifecta and take out the Klingon homeworld ?). I can’t take any of that seriously. Doomcock pointed out the absurdity of that number. Were there only 900 million Romulans on the homeworld or AFTER its destruction ? If before, how was a paltry number like that ever considered a major threat to the Federation ? I expected tens of billions.
Why would they also be rescuing a sworn blood-enemy of the Federation in any capacity (and as Doomcock pointed out, don’t they have their own ships and places to relocate to within the Romulan Empire ?) Obviously, that’s the dramatic turning point. Politically speaking, nevermind logistically of relocating that number of people, it would bring down the government that would support that if they were bringing them into Federation space en masse. Of course, this is the twisted leftist “logic.”
Robots destroying Mars. ‘kay. Dumdumdumdum.
Twins. Perfect soap opera twist. As original as can be. ‘kay.
Romulan ninjas in “Greater Boston.” Neat.
Daystrom Institute in Okinawa ? They never mentioned where it was as far as I know (perhaps in a novel or some other materials). Actually, I thought it might’ve been located on the moon. Okinawa seems so random, in the middle of the Pacific ?
“Now this is stupid”
Data daughter twin on the Borg ship. ‘kay.
Yeah, total flustercuck. All this mess and in one episode. There was a made-for-tv movie where Patrick Stewart played a retired spy(?) with Alzheimer’s, and he was obviously losing his mind. That could be an excellent excuse for this abomination. Picard at 90: Picard goes Nanners.
Picard pined for a family in “Generations” and occasionally before that IIRC. People live longer in this future (longer than I think is technically possible, wasn’t McCoy like 150 before he died?) If Strom Thurmond can bang one out at 70..... ;) Seems like Picard is 95, born 2305 and this is set in 2400.
His sister in law was not mentioned. I thought she was dead also, my mistake. Maybe she actually murdered her husband and the son accidentally died with him. ;-)
RE Refugee Number, I can easily see 900 mil wisely leaving the homeworld before it was blown up. I have no issue with that. Nor with the libtard Federation wanting to help, they did the same thing with the Klingons in Star Trek 6. The GOP probably only has like 10% of the seats in the Federation Congress. ;-D
Reading “Memory Alpha” to pick up what I missed, the Federation’s fleet that was to help them was at shipyards on Mars and blown up (and they said “screw it” after that), that explains why the Romulans hate the “synthetics”.
It reminds me of that South Park ep with Japan and the Dolphins.
Trailer for future eps also showed Picard in a sword fight with some guy while people watched. Stewart probably asked for that. Picard drove a dune buggy in the last movie cause Stewart liked driving dune buggys.
