So apparently the new series will just be called Star Trek: Picard. I find that a bit unimaginative. I'd have called it "To baldly go..." But it looks like the series might come to amazon prime, which would be great. No need to get myself another one of those CBS trial months. I think it'll only be on Amazon internationally. Not in the states.

Teaser time: If I'm not mistaken, the Trek theme at the end is played on the Ressikan flute. If that's the case, it's a nice little throwback for TNG fans.

Obsidian GryphonThat sales pitch really is horrible. Data is in uniform. Otherwise it's a fun little video. Measure of a man still is one of the best and most quotable TNG episodes ever made.

Anyone else find episode 12 season 2 Discovery borderline nonsense when they ignore their spore drive in favor of auto destruct? Because my "WTF" was so strong it burned my forebrain

I had never heard about the particular issue of Troi's costume before but this was in equal parts amazing, disturbing and hilarious (well, the way she tells it maybe a little more on the hilarious side actually).
For reference, the video I watched is this one. Especially the last minute and a half with the technobabble had me in tears but you have to watch the whole thing to really apreciate it.
Also, now I wonder if Gates McFadden's doctor's coat was put on her for similar reasons?

You're welcome And yes, it's such a bitter sweet giggling ending. Oh, I don't want to think about the Gates part. I so hope not. ^ I love it when she tells the costume story. It's always funny. I love watching her solo panels. Same. Especially when she starts with panel redecoration and telling the moderator to go away. My personal favorite story will always be how Troi flew the Enterprise. With the embers encluded.

Does Data look less human than he used to?
Probably just a cover-up for Spiner aging.

Though I almost get the feeling that the scene in the trailer with Data might be something like a dream. Maybe it's the lighting. Also, they play cards (poker? like in the last scene of TNG) and Picard says he doesn't want the game to end (as in, he doesn't want data to be gone again in reality?).
Not sure, just a hunch. Also, I'd be kinda glad if they didn't really bring Data back. I think the rest of the trailer had a great mix of callbacks/fan service and new stuff. Really looking forward to this one. Between that trailer and the Expanse Season 4 stuff, I am having a good weekend.

Does Data look less human than he used to? Probably just a cover-up for Spiner aging. If it's not a dream and he's back full time, I don't know why they haven't picked the easiest explanation?
Simply have Data explain he'd begun cosmetically altering his appearance to better reflect human aging.
While that on the surface would serve as a very plausible Data-like explanation, what if he admitted later that the real reason was that as his saw his friends getting older, he came to fear that his ageless appearance might start to make people uncomfortable or even slightly resentful?
Then you'd get the twofer of having both an in-character explanation for his aging and show his character development, that Data now experiences very "human" fears and concerns.
Well somehow they made me want to watch Picard...but the best news? Anson Mount and co return in Short Treks. CBS should boldly go and give that man his own damned Trek series already!
