Thus, I agree with Shik.<br /><br />Of course, they didn't bring up the Romulus destruction in the trailer, and that goes along with the theme of it. They did a great job keeping the trailer confined to the similar designs and details rather than new or different stuff, to the point there's no way that wasn't planned as a nostalgia-fest. But, who can blame them after Discovery? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2019,6,27,17,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">July 27, 2019</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:56 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Bear in mind that the people behind DIS have always claimed that it takes place in the main Trek timeline, even though they've made no effort to be consistent with that. Presumably, <i>Picard</i> is also meant to be in the same universe as the previous shows. As long as they don't screw that up the way they did DIS, I'll go along with it.<br /><br />And, to be fair, it would be a lot harder to screw it up this time. PIC (I assume that's how we'll be abbreviating it?) is set in a time period we haven't seen before. DIS is the one they set in a time period where we already knew what everything looked like, and they went out of their way to make it all look as different as possible.<br /><br />Oh, and for those wondering, the site outage was because the domain was accidentally allowed to expire. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>MinutiaeMan</b> <br /><small>Member # 444</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2019,6,27,20,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">July 27, 2019</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:58 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> See, I think there's a lot of potential behind the story of the Romulan disaster. Sure, the terminology describing the disaster in the first Kelvinverse movie was stupid, but let's think about it for a moment. There's been no shortage of weird, destructive space anomalies with stupid names in Star Trek. (Ion storms or subspace shockwaves, anyone?) So there was some kind of subspace whatever-you-want-to-call-it that destabilized at least one star (maybe several?), causing a supernova near Romulus. As far as Treknobabble goes, that's not very outlandish.<br /><br />The only thing that's unusual about the situation is that Starfleet and the Federation couldn't come up with a solution in time to save the day. Nero's anger was misguided, but I'll bet there's a ton of other Romulans who felt similarly. How would Picard react when decisions he was apparently involved in lead to the deaths of billions, and the destruction of a long-time enemy's homeworld? Even a trusting person would have to admit that looks suspicious, even if they don't believe the Federation would deliberately allow it to happen. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Spike</b> <br /><small>Member # 322</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2019,6,29,8,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">July 29, 2019</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:21 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Originally posted by MinutiaeMan:<br /><strong>Did anyone else notice the sign which said “This facility has gone 5,843 days without an assimilation”...?
