So do we think the first ten minutes are just going to be a quick overview of what exactly the historical timeline is in the Star Trek Universe now?

I'll probably wait and see if it's any good and then get All-Access for a month and watch it all at once.

So we think the person talking in the trailer is probably a Romulan right?

Quote:

"The end is only the beginning"


Based on the tone of the teaser and the above quote I'm going to predict some sort of transcendent future for Picard as he moves beyond this dimension.

What event is the narrator referencing here? Is it the last movie, Star Trek Nemesis? I'm no where near as up to speed on Star Trek but I'm pretty sure that was the last time we saw Picard in Star Fleet.

It could be the destruction of Romulus that occurred in Picard's timeline and caused Eric Bana to travel back in time and cause Shatner to turn into Chris Pine in a split timeline.

I'm going to have to know if that's revisited before I decide whether this is worth watching.

That's why I'm assuming The person talking is Romulan. I assume the rescue mission was to save Romulans. He might have even helped them find each other thus 'led us out of the darkness.'

I actually think that's a fairly easy guess though, the real question is what made him leave Star Fleet.

They killed data. Other than that, nothing.

Some additional info on the timeline and background if you want it before the show airs.

They didn't even really do that. He kind of Altered Carbon'd himselt to B4.

I couldn't follow that.

They really overcomplicate the issue, especially because they don't really know part of it. We don't know what happened to cause Picard to leave Star Fleet. But we do know what the 'event' is that the speaker is referring to. (At least to a reasonably degree of certainty.)

2379 - This is the date for Star Trek Nemesis, the last time we saw Picard

2387 - The Romulan star explodes, destroying their home planet (We know this from the 2009 Star Trek movie.) Spock was sent to try and save the planet using red matter, but he's too late, and he creates a black hole that he and the Narada are pulled into.

(Here's the tricky bit. From the perspective of Picard and everyone else in this timeline, those two ships just disappeared, and Spock is presumed dead. The fall of the Romulan empire has massive ramifications for this world. From the voice over we're assuming that Picard was part of some kind of huge rescue armada sent to save Romulans. Something happens that causes Picard to leave Star Fleet.)

2402 - This is the best guess for when Picard is set based on the 'fifteen years ago' line from the trailer.

Typing that out makes me think that the only real possibility for the big event that caused Picard to leave Star Fleet is that they allowed a lot of Romulans to die that they could have saved.

I was thinking about it, and it's pretty remarkable Picard hadn't retired sooner.
The dude had lived four lives and I'm pretty sure has in-canon retained the memories of all of them:
1. That life he lived when a probe makes him fast live a life on a dying planet (The Inner Light)
2. All of Sarek's life after Sarek mind-melded with him before dying (Sarek)
3. An alternate life where he is not stabbed by a Nausicaan and ends up living a pretty boring life (Tapestry)
4. Ohh and just his own, main life, that included assimilation by Borg where he near genocides Earth, and then de-assimilation; as well as having to defend all of humanity from a god-entity.

Time travel confuses me and my favorite theory of time travel is, what happened already happened and you can't change the present because it's already been created to that reality.

That being said, didn't they change the timeline, or is that just in another dimension?

He didn't "live out " the life from not getting stabbed by the Nausicaan. Q just jumped him from point to point in it. Just like the final episode.

Your theory is what happened here.

Star Trek, even within its own universe, has played a little loose with time travel rules historically.

But in this case, everything that happened once Spock and the Narada arrived back in time has no bearing on the events in the universe we've seen Picard in. (Their alternate reality is popularly called the Kelvin Timeline, the only Star Treks that have taken place in the Kelvin Timeline are Star Trek, Into Darkness and Beyond.)

For the purposes of Picard, the Romulan star (Hobus) exploded and destroyed Romulus and Remus, Spock and the Narada died in the explosion, and the events of Picard are going to be taking place 15 years after that happened.
