PICARD s2e1 “The Star Gazer”
🕑 Added 2022-03-04 07:50:28 +0000 UTCPICARD season 2 begins! And we're watching it right along with you! We don't want to waste any time ruining it for anybody. JKJK, we're actually enjoying it more than last season already, but nonetheless have plenty of questions like what's Agnes' position on the Star Gazer -- Lt. Murderer? And why are we pretending not to know it's obvs gonna be the Borg at the end? Also -- Matt obsesses about registry numbers for at least 45% of the episode. Admiral Incel's back, baby!
Post your questions/comments here for the next episode of Picard, coming next week!

With Jurati I'm not seeing that in the slightest. She's been nothing but comic relief thus far. As for the ship naming I was also a bit confused. I really like the idea of the Excelsior being the same ship, doesn't seem too unreasonable as the class was in heavy use 20-30 years prior in the timeline, but I guess it's not. But the dialogue about refits was confusing I think.

I think it was a dick move that he left the Château without saying goodbye to Laris.
Been listening for years but this is what it took to get me to join the President's circle. Had a few thoughts...I was irked by the hand-wavey dispatching of Zhaban but the actor (Jaime McShane) now has a main role on the Netflix "Wednesday" show so I wonder if the filming schedules clashed. Re: Jurati, I've always thought she is a civilian crew member since she was Maddox's student (and then lover) at the Daystrom institute. (You can be Starfleet and work at Daystrom but don't need to be in Starfleet) It also seems like they are doing a similar thing with Allison Pill that season 2 of "the Newsroom" did: taking a naïve character from season 1 and giving her a gritty 'I've seen some sh*t' personality in season 2. Finally, the new Stargazer registry number didn't bother me because there was a Reliant-class Stargazer prior to Picard's Stargazer, not to mention that they've recycled names before (i.e. USS Defiant, USS Intrepid). Here's a link to an article where they talk about the new Stargazer plus the mea-culpa for the USS Copy-and-paste fleet from Season 1.
