Worf saying that he enjoyed Chateau Picard wine for its tartness probably damaged Picard more than any combat or diplomatic wound he ever suffered in his entire career.
Worf is by far the character most similar to himself on TNG. Riker next. I don't find this Picard to be believably the same one we saw do challenging diplomatic missions on TNG.
I like this elder Worf. Still stoic and reserved as always, but giving off vibes of peace, balance and dare I say human warmth. Must be the meditation as well as life experience.
Except that he is not really supposed to look like an elder. How the hell does he look 60? Klingon are supposed to live to be about 200 years old. Even humans live to be about 150 or so. They’re all in their 60s and 70s and they actually look it. In the future where they have all that technology and every way to essentially look like their 30 when they’re 60.
People go grey early plenty of times, like George Clooney. He's still clearly in peak physical condition, so it could just as easily be his hair went white much earlier in life and doesn't feel like dyeing it back. I daresay the option's there given how clean his hair is compared to every other Klingon, but then he's always been better groomed from the start.
Admiral McCoy in the pilot of the next generation. I believe he was something like 140 years old. Kor from the original series who is maybe in his 30s or 40s in the 2260s and lived all the way into the 2370s and was generally still spry, even though he was going into early stages of dementia. The only died because he sacrificed himself. There’s a lot of examples of people living well into 150 and beyond. And they’re not exceptions to the rule.
In the age of CGI, anyone can be "brought back." Odo's facial appearance can be easily "painted" over another actor of similar size and build. Recreating Rene's voice would be the bigger challenge, either by knitting together existing samples of recordings of his voice (feasible only for short pieces of dialog) or using a highly skilled vocal mimic. It would be challenging, but it could be done.
@@phoenixgaming20 In theory any appearance will do, given Odo's ability to shape-shift, but I don't think there's anyone alive who could bring the character to life the way he did. Any replacement would be Odo in name only. The same would be true for using modern technology to give someone his face and voice. Even should we overlay those things perfectly, the underlying actor would still need to be able to pull it off. ...And sadly, there was only one Rene Auberjonois.
For me Picard season 3 is the best modern Star Trek. I have watched this season about 5 times. I never thought they’d bring it back at this level of good 👍
It's a subtle running joke, but so far nobody seems to care for Chateau Picard. In fact, most everyone goes out of their way to avoid having to drink it.
Captain Worf, Son of Mogh House of Martok, Son of Sergei House of Rozhenko, Bane to the Duras Family, Slayer of Gowron Son of M'Rel. Reporting for Duty, Sir.
It's a testament to Trek that was once the sound of terror and death has basically transformed into the "Awwwwwww shit let's fucking go" theme, and not just because of Worf.
I'd love to see a reunion of Q and Worf, now that would be funny. "Microbrain, please growl to show that you still care for me" "Eaten any good books lately?" Worf growls.
@@Crunkboy415 Q: "You're not feeling merry, here, maybe this will cheer you up" Q hands to Worf LaForge's resurrected lute. Worf: Gaah! Smashes the lute against the nearest bulkhead. Q: "How rude!"
Did anyone notice that Worf's statement is almost a quote from TOS? "11 years, 4 months, 5 days" is how long Spock says he served under Pike. The months and days are switched but I'm wondering if this was supposed to be a quote.
The Dominion war and the Borg invasion happening at the same time would be very taxing on resources. They then spent the remaining resources building the copy paste fleet. Not much left for light bulbs.
Got to love how, every single time Worf gets to show up and introduce himself/reintroduce himself, they subtly add in the Imperial Klingon Battle theme. If anyone, ANYONE, has earned the right to have that attached as their personal background intro theme, its Worf.
@@pderham26the music in the background. That was first devised during tos. It has essentially become as much his theme as kt is the klingon battle theme
I admit when I first started watching this in TV I wasn't expecting much,but I got taken I deeply after season one.This is good stuff well worthy of it's twenty plus year old history.
Even as old as they are, he'll always be "Mr. Worf" to Picard no matter how high his rank is. Hell in The Undiscovered Country, other than Kirk, Spock was still called "Mr. Spock" by all the Enterprise-As senior staff, even by Scotty who also held the rank of Captain. Hell, Sulu was still "Mr. Sulu" to some, namely future Dahar Master Kang, even.though.he not only held the rank of Captain, but held command of a ship in his own right, namely the Excelsior
In Naval tradition, "Mister" is an appropriate informal way for any sailor to address or refer to any officer of any rank below the rank of Lt. Commander. Lt. Commanders and Commanders are both always referred to as "Commander" by subordinates, but can be referred to as "Mister" by officers of equal or superior rank. The ship's Commanding officer is always referred to as "Captain" by all subordinates, regardless of the Commanding officer's actual rank. Since Spock was already a Lt. Commander when we first meet him in TOS, the only crew people who should have addressed or referred to him as "Mister" are McCoy and Scott because they were also Lt. Commanders, and Kirk because he was a Captain. Likewise, the only crew who should have addressed or referred to Scott as "Mister" are Spock, McCoy and Kirk. Visiting officers of equal or higher rank could also properly refer to Spock and Scott as "Mister" in informal situations. Captains are always addressed and referred to as "Captain" and doctors below the rank of Admiral are always informally referred to as "Doctor." In formal situations, all Naval officers should only be addressed or referred to by their rank.
@rich allen True. Of the main cast, only Shatner, Takei, and Koenig are still with us. Sadly, almost all of even the supporting peripheral cast and crew are also gone now.
Welcome to Starfleet! You're going to spend a lot of time falling over and walking into walls because for some reason we don't believe in having lighting any longer! 🙄
When watching this for the first time, I was sharply aware that René Auberjonois was unavailable to reprise his role as Odo due to his passing in 2019. If ever there would have been a time to revisit the character, it would have been season 3 of PICARD. Imagine where those plotlines could have gone.
Jean-Luc Picard was told by James T. Kirk not to let Starfleet promote him after they met in the Nexus. Picard sure got persuaded to take the promotion to Admiral later on.
All of New Trek is shot like this. Under-lit with only the glow of the monitors and fluorescent tubes on the walls. Honestly most modern tv shows and movies go for this dramatic/natural lighting thing without really knowing what its purpose is. It fits really well in something serious and gritty like The Wire but is completely out of tone in my fun sci if action show.
The foreshadowing has been heavy in this show. Showing off Kirk's remains and then revealing that Picard's remains are what the changelings stole, etc. In this clip, Worf specifically mentions the virus used against the Changelings on DS9. I'm willing to bet that the "weapon" the changelings are going to use is some kind of virus created from Picard's Irumodic Syndrome and infect everyone in Starfleet with it. My first guess was that they'd have the infected officers turn on each other Winter Soldier style like how Jack has been on verge of doing, but an out of control Starfleet would be just as deadly to Vadic's forces as it would be to itself, so now I think it will be some kind of mind control. Now the changelings will have an entire fleet under their direct command.
what if the "virus" is more like a "retrovirus" that is meant to be a catalyst that infects starfleet to be perfect hosts for the... crap, forgot the name... the higher plane beings the prophets were going against. my reasoning is that since the syndrome overclocks the brain then wouldnt that make the mind, which is already the most powerful form of computational power even more powerful to the point it could house the mind of a higher plane being? although with most beings the mind has limiters to prevent burn out. to add to that, what if the changelings combine picards/jacks dna with their own ability to change and adapter to over come the issue of instability and eventual self destruction? this may also cause another form of the great link which would link all the converted people into the perfect hive mind to house the mind? yes, i am thinking along the lines of how the borg operate with their expansion of their collective but instead of cybernetically altering, this is more at the genetic level. also, the changelings are just pawns at this point. the floating head that vadic talks to is evident of that with how it refers to the changelings. that and the flames that you can see rippling on the head as well.
That is a much better theory than this zombie Kirk and Picard nonsense that people have been trying to sell me. I'm like....COME ON. This is a science fiction show. Not a paranormal show. But your idea, may very well be accurate or at least extremely close.
My guess is, this is to visualize how much they are working in the dark, both the complete lack of info, and how they are not operating in “light” of the federation
Admiral, permission to come aboard. The first thing the Da'Har master does is respect Piccards rank and as commander of its ship. Starfleet is ingrained deeply.
I like how Mister worf flipped the months and the days I recall mr. Spock saying he served under captain pike for 11 years 4 months 5 days in the beginning of the original Star Trek episode The menagerie anyone else catch that?
Why does the new Enterprise have such a dark interior? Nobody's going to see where they're walking, working on a ship like that. Starfleet has brightly lit rooms and corridors on ships for a reason (instead of...what is this supposed to be, mood lighting?): because it makes sense.
Because the Federation had to make cut backs after the Dominion war and Borg attack. First thing to go is the little unimportant things. Like the ability to see.
Why the fock is it so damned dark inside the ship? Is it to cover up all the wrinkles everyone has? I wanted to watch this but after seeing how dark it is, I'm not going to struggle through every episode trying to see whats going on while watching it.
True. But considering that deriding Château Picard has been a running gag in this show, the fact that even Worf dislikes it tells us that it's really Château Piquette...
Huh... Part of Picard that I wouldn't mind watching. I never was a huge fan of Picard himself but I like the rest of the TNG group and it would be nice to see them all together again.
Is it just me, or does the music at the end of the briefing scene sound like it's been ripped off from the Jason Bourne franchise to anybody? Hahaha we caught them!
There’s no shame in the “Changling Virus”. There were no civilians in the Great Link. It attacked only the leadership of the Dominion (and Odo unfortunately). The same was true of what they decided NOT to do with Hugh the Borg. That would have been fine as well, as there are no Borg civilians either.
Spot on. This "war crimes" nonsense doesn't apply to a uni-race who operate as soldier and leader/representative. There are no civilian members of The Great Link. Odo getting infected is the same as any soldiers that got 'friendly fire'. And Hugh absolutely SHOULD have been killed or infected with something to take back to the Borg. By playing "bleeding heart" clown, Picard is responsible for all the deaths they caused after (First Contact, Voyager, Ps3, etc.) That is what happens when you clutch to wishful-thinking fairy tale morality that cannot be supported by reality. See Also: 2020-2023. Real heroes take responsibility for the hard decisions.
It may have made sense tactically but the issue is that the Federation is supposed to be above genocide as a tactic. The Federation talks a good game and acts superior but, when push comes to shove, they quickly resort to the same means that those they vilify use. It's less about the changelings and more about the Federation's decision to do it.
