We did it a couple different ways. We did it with the Russian accent. And we did it without a Russian accent... The reason they tried it without the accent is because it wasn't Pavel Chekov. It was Anton Chekov.
- Walter Koenig re: his voice cameo in the finale of Picard (x)

He also reveals that he first he heard about a possibility for this cameo when he was out walking his dog and ran into Todd Stashwick (aka Captain Shaw) and Stashwick told him that a line producer from the show would be in touch with him.

Star Trek Picard Season 1’s “Maps and Legends” and Season 3’s “The Bounty”.

Are we going to to get another Connie refit for the Enterprise that transforms it back into the TOS version, are we just ignoring it, or……

I laughed when I saw the New Jersey. “no no the discoprise is how we always were meant to see the enterprise!” and here we are.I always said that discoprise hologram was a leak from another universeI love a classic constitution class. TOS version. no bells and whistles. beautiful lines.maybe all the constitution classes will get the upgrades to the TOS versions and the rest will be “sombra” classes.Star Trekconsistency? on my star trek?Star Trek PicardStar Trek DiscoveryPICConstitution ClassDiscopriseUSS New JerseyMaps and LegendsThe Bounty

ceropegia asked:

I only watched the finale of Picard, after following Manic Pixie's recaps. I thought it might help. It did not. Two things extra that you didn't mention. 1: The Titan took a major part in saving the Federation and they change its name to Enterprise, as a reward? Can't have any famous ship that isn't an Enterprise, historians would be confused. Can't build a new Enterprise? 2: Everybody hugs except Raffi and Seven? Who end up on the same ship - keeping to COVID distancing regulations.

Enterprise-G is the dumbest possible outcome.

So I'm curious what are your thoughts on Star Trek Picard Season 3? Based on most of your tags, I get the impression that you did not enjoy it.

It is what it is. held together by duct tape and threadbare storytelling and one last hallway shootout.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug and it couldn’t really save this one.

As it stands, ignoring the novels retcon, does it outperform “These are the Voyages”, which also used some Enterprise-D flashbacks in it?

Oh I thought my answer was gonna be yes but I’m just…..

maybe by a nose, its better than that. This season was a mess again that didn’t really know what it wanted, invested heavily in tropes and wanted a shootout a minute from the looks of it. All those scenes on M'Talas Prime, wasted potential of the Changelings (oh we fixed that. we got the transporters fixed), the omission of Laris in the finale when they made sure to put her in the season premiere.

Not to mention the Borg, oh the Borg. one transwarp hub down out of six and one dead queen is all it takes apparently.

In a way the closing scene of this season’s Mandalorian and Picard reflect a poor attempt to reach an endgoal by some of the worst possible means. Those closing scenes are good but unearned.

And, this goes back to TNG-era Trek, Star Trek can’t envision civilian life in these models. Everyone has to join Starfleet, we cant have any main civilian characters.

After listening too to Matalas on Gates’ pod I have a feeling that we’re trapped in another cycle of trying to Star-Wars-ify Trek, and the Trench run sorta reinforced that.

I think that’s all I got tonight.

I am glad the show is over. But I do need to watch the finale again with kiranerys who has been away and hasn't seen it.but knows most of what's happened at this point 🤣asksthecaptainoutoftimestar trek picardpicspoilerspicard spoilersmy long national nightmare is nearly over.and I can file that into 'huh that's interesting. thankfully not canon.OH also the Mandalorian was pretty bad this season but does it out-bad picard? in a way yes. bc we've had 2 great seasons of mandoand a decent but odd season of bobfbefore s3 kinda just.....[fart noises]whereas I knew what picard would throw would be badand hey! a lot of people disagree with me. people like jammer and keith ra decandido(it's me and christopher l. bennett in the peanut gallery. tho not lockstep)
