Re: Every Year is the Year of Star Trek
The writers didn't know Guinan had already met Picard in the 19th century in a previous time travel episode. I can't get over this. If you're a writer for a major tv show, the entire room should have watched every episode of that series at the very least to understand the characters places and events. Its inexcusable.

I haven't watched any of season 2, but that's absurd.

I feel like my spoiler above gives a rational explanation but it's also a spoiler.thrill wrote: ↑April 7 22, 10:04 amSeriously?AdmiralKird wrote: ↑April 7 22, 9:43 amThe writers didn't know Guinan had already met Picard in the 19th century in a previous time travel episode.

Re: Every Year is the Year of Star Trek
That explanation doesn't fit how time travel works in Star Trek. If a timeline has an event where people in the year 2500 visit 2000 AD, and a change occurs to the timeline in 2100, preventing the people from 2500 ever existing, the year 2000 events had already occurred on that branch of time where the alteration takes place and they still must exist for that alteration to take place. The people from 2500 still technically exist on an overwritten branch of the timeline to influence the current one. This stuff also happens in things like E^2 in Enterprise and how the Xindi think there is more than one Earth ship in the Expanse even though the alternate Enterprise was wiped out. Sela's existence in TNG - even though the events of the Klingon-Federation war never took place now, Tasha Yar's daughter is able to exist.

Re: Every Year is the Year of Star Trek
yeah not trying to troll but RLM is doing reviews on it hah. they seemed somewhat receptive with the 1st episode (the 1st review posted) but the next reviews (2 picard episodes in each review) have kind of broken them and they're pretty baffled. not only with the continuation of modern star trek being big explosions instead of, like, problem solving but also these issues where it seems clear the picard writers have no idea of the history of picard/TNG and maybe even star trek as a whole. i dont watch picard so my only knowledge is coming from RLM and i'm really just watching the RLM reviews for entertainment so im biased but at same time if the RLM guys aren't exaggerating too much than yea these sound like some odd creative decisions.

Re: Every Year is the Year of Star Trek
THIS IS WHY TIME TRAVEL TREK SUCKS. Janeway knows. We all know. I do like first contact but that snuck in when I was a kid and didn’t care about continuity.

Sure but we're not just talking about time travel.
