The big drop that keeps getting foreshadowed is that Picard has some sin or misfortune in his past that’s not been addressed. Guinan kind of prods him and implies it might be about personal relationships, Raffi rightfully gives him shit for the holes in his personal outlook, he has that weird flashback with his mom (?)… who knows! They’re leading to something
I do like the implication that the world going to shit in 2024 isn’t inevitable for… reasons.

My early prediction Picards mom is the borg queen there I said it.

I think that the reference to the Bell Riots is a red herring, since they're supposed to be headed to LA and not SF, or maybe it's a double reverse red herring in that they deliberately ID'ed LA instead to throw us off the scent, but as for "YOU KNOW WHY," I think it's meant to be a mystery to viewers (if not *ahem* JL himself).

xp that was one of my three guesses, but I think Picard is going to come clean about his past/mom to the crew, and one of them (maybe the tall female one?!) is it, and that is why the line from the nightmare/flashback happens
― mh, Monday, 14 March 2022 22:47 (two years ago) link
agreed with Leee on the location thingI think 2024 is just a hinge pointalso the next US election yearinsert deep, weary sigh here

Picard is going to come clean about his past/mom
"I'm not actually French."
― Justice League: Picard (Leee), Monday, 14 March 2022 23:02 (two years ago) link
shocking!it’d be really funny if the reason for the weird clothes was his mom was a weird munchausens-by-proxy but for cosplaying 1800s france
― mh, Monday, 14 March 2022 23:18 (two years ago) link
kinda wonder if they're gonna ignore jean-luc having a brother?
anyway i have to agree with trishy b's link -- none of this requires there to be a hole in picard's life. he's gotten with lots of ladies and if he can't muster it up for orla brady then dm me her number. let's go do some sci-fi shit

If they at least allude to the Bev/Picard ship (even to explain why it never happened either on TNG or between TNG and Picard), I as a longtime shipper would forgive the show many of its current and future trespasses.

You mean they might finally admit that he's Wesley's real dad? And Wesley would come back from Travellerland, or wherever he ended up? That would be cool.

as long as they don’t bring back that gross archaeologist chick from Risa i dont care who he bones as long as he bones ~someone~ ffs i vote for orla or bev

Just watched the TNG episode where he goes to his brother's vineyard and 1800s france was very much a thing there too
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 15 March 2022 08:50 (two years ago) link
evidently the bad picard (grrrr scowls) and the good picard (smiles ineffectually, unsure what's going on) are going to sidney-carton the french revolution in two different directions
― mark s, Tuesday, 15 March 2022 09:14 (two years ago) link
Nooooooo! I never went in for THAT particular theory, and my interest in Bev/Picard was strictly within the timeline of TNG (I have a great fondness for "Attached").

I’m burning this motherfucker down if Wesley shows up

I dunno, I always liked that tease of the Traveller story that never really got follow up, I recall I thought it might come up at one point in Disco and never did.

Oh my god, she was the WOOOORST. It was like they were going for a Raiders vibe and landed somewhere around Hooten and the Lady (a show I have never seen, obviously).

sir pat stew didn't think that archaeologist chick was gross o_O
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 16 March 2022 15:18 (two years ago) link
To bring it back full circle, Vash (the "archaeologist chick") ended up palling around the universe with Q (in an ersatz Doctor/companion thing) on DS9.

Intrigued about this now. I bailed on Picard season 1 before the two-part finale. Do I *have* to go back and watch that before season 2?
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 17 March 2022 18:19 (two years ago) link
I watched the first 10 mins of season 2 and was, like, Ok! He's back on the farm, so I guess nothing big happened, also the theme tune is bad now.
I just don't want to see any of the new crew, ever, except Orla Brady. Unless they're ok now?
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 17 March 2022 18:21 (two years ago) link
I don't think you really need to have seen the s1 finale for s2 so far -- might be worth reading a synopsis and then immediately facepalming.
Nu-crue:

Elnor's actor is really limited and so he's being used as comic relief

imagine choosing between a good friend you were on an epic adventure with last season and BQ and the first thing Picard does is makes a snap judgmentI mean, it’s right, but damn

I don't think this season is reinventing any warp drives but so far it's been 3/3.

tbh 2024 being generally shit even outside of this watcher/divergence in time business is going to be part of the backdrop and having one character have stakes in that is probably a necessity

is this going to be about brexit again? q changed timeline so that double brexit happens?
― adam t. (abanana), Sunday, 20 March 2022 23:03 (two years ago) link
sorry to say it, but I think all of the screenwriters are american and virtually none of us give a crap about brexit. I’d estimate if you asked what “brexit” is on the street, the vast majority people would have no idea what that isI’m obviously sympathetic and not in that group, but
