As soon as Picard said "Engage!" I had a big belly laugh and punched the air.

Was about to post the same, I went through the trailer waiting for something I wouldn't like. Then we had engage and I was hooked.

You better get watching then, binge it and you should be ready for Picard, you'll need to know 7's background I think!

It's not TNG part two. Picard will be serialized and character driven, very different from TNG

Please be good. The netflix Star Trek was awful. This could be amazing.

Trailer makes this look better then I was expecting considering the way they've gone with Discovery.

Wonder what Enterprise will show up at some point, Enterprise E would be pretty long in the tooth by that point.

Starships are designed for decades of use. Unless the E was destroyed in battle, it will still be in service.

It would be 30+ years old by then, the original Enterprise in Trek 3 was considered to be at retirement age before it got stolen to look for Spock and it was 30. Though that might not apply to TNG era.

Probably just easier to use the existing Enterprise E 3d model than create a new design anyway.

Gave me shivers when i saw the trailer.

Either way, id love to see a badass next gen Enterprise F

Should use an Enterprise-E or at least the Soverign Class for a few scenes in the series. That ship didn't get its due on screen to be honest. Also, Galaxy class had refits and major refits, so lets see what the Sovereign could be like as well. Or even a surviving Enterprise-E that gets downed or retired in the series, showing how well it stood the test of time after Picard left. It needs its own send off to be honest. But I don't really care which ship comes on, just happy to see the TNG era of Trek back.

Nearer 40. 2245 to 2285ish. Though YMMV on whether or not the ship was Trigger's broom after the refit before the first film.

Oh, and if you do accept that the "USS Enterprise no bloody A, B, C or D" was the same ship from TOS to TMP, then do please go ahead and try to make the notquiteEnterprise from STD work as a precursor to the TMP ship. Hint - you might have an issue with scale

Psst, nobody cares

.. cant be as bad as discovery surely

I don't understand the winking smiley? Can you explain?

This isnt the thread to discuss Discovery - there are already two existing threads for that.
