I had no idea about Denise Crosby´s waving Goodbye!
Well, I've finally seen the first eight episodes (season 1) of Star Trek: Picard. I'm enjoying it, but it has problems that I can't discuss openly without revealing too much. On the other hand, improved technology makes the visual effects very believable, and the show's "streaming" delivery system means the writing is at more of an adult level. This is not to say there's a steady stream of cursing and/or sex, but rather the scripts haven't been "dumbed down" like they were for the broadcast shows. This isn't your kiddies "Star Trek", but I think that works in it's favor.
I like the addition of the tagline "The Final Season". No ambiguity, no, "Will there or won't there?" discussions about subsequent seasons, no guessing games, Paramount is telling the fans, "This is it." And it seems they've brought back the characters that the fans want to see reunited, though I wonder if Colm Meaney, Wil Wheaton, and/or Denise Crosby will perhaps have surprise cameo appearances.
Back to the Pegasus Project.
What I don't get. WHY some people in Starfleet Command and Admiralty would really cover Eric Pressman's illegal things, if it's clearly against the Treaty of Algeron??
I mean, yes, some people in Starfleet see the treaty as a shame, but it's an OFFICIAL treaty! And Starfleet isn't an classic army.
Why would you do so, risking your career, risking serious interstellar trouble?
Where were Federation Secret Sevices, all these years?
Sorry if it's already been mentioned here, but we have recently discovered Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek, and are almost through the first (and only?) season of it. I actually can't absorb it fast enough.
Narrated by Gates McFadden, and featuring many of the actors and behind-the-scenes folks who made the shows and movies possible.
