I'm talking about the critically acclaimed ones, like Best of Both World's parts 1 and 2.

'Used' to have feelings for her...the episode ends with them talking about how he was dreaming about her when they were linked with the neural implants. And he then says words to the effect of "now we know how we feel about each other deep down, why don't we try a relationship"! Not exactly the hallmarks of a guy who once had feelings for someone but got over it, eh?

When it first started me and my dad were convinced that Captain Picard was going to be revealed as Wesley’s dad. That never came to pass.

Is there anything I should watch before starting this?
I've probably seen most of TNG over the years but completely out of order and I don't remember too much about it. I was thinking of watching the last series?

Nemesis, everyones forgotten about that film so I wouldn't worry
Either data is always shown in a dream (which is what I think), or they have recreated B4?
Here's a really weird idea....remember datas head sat under san francisco, well maybe they stuck that head on B4s body (to hell with a timetravel paradox)

ok help me out guys
Is this a different Picard we saw in TNG....and by that, I mean a different timeline after the events of the 2009 Star Trek film?
"The galaxy was mourning, burying its dead, and Starfleet slunk from its duties," Picard barks, a nod to the destruction of Romulus that sets off the chain of events from the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek film. He calls the Federation "downright criminal."
"I was not prepared to stand by and be a spectator," he said.

I'm glad I can't remember half of what happened in TNG/films so if they do break continuity it's only because someone on here told me.

No. The destruction of Romulus happens in the regular TV series timeline. Nero travelling back into the past after Romulus was destroyed is what created the JJTrek timeline.
It should be the same Picard as the TNG timeline. Romulus is destroyed, Spock and Nero go back and split off into the Kelvin timeline, but that leaves Picard and everyone else in the TNG timeline carrying on after Romulus is gone.
I think creating a whole, separate timeline as JJ Abrams did is against canon, as we've seen many times in all the shows that going back and altering time changes the timeline you are in, ie there are no alternate timelines, only the one, main timeline that everyone is in. Obviously the Kelvin reboot was so that Abrams didn't have to bother with fitting his movies into pre-existing canon.
Soldato
Ah, but does it? Or does it merely create a new, alternate timeline where only people directly involved in the act of altering the timeline can remember what was changed and what is now different but everyone else thinks that the events always happened that way and oh no I've gone cross-eyed again...

yes picards take place years after the events of nemesis and the destruction of Romulus (original timeline), from what been explain spock went to stop supernova but was too late and failed, the resulting supernova cause spock to be sent back in time (Kelvin timeline (2009 movie)), after the fail attempt to stop supernova (original timeline) picards lead the of the biggest evacuation mission to rescue the population of romulus.

It did happen in the original timeline, but after all the Trek shows - it wasn't ever depicted on screen until the Star Trek 2009 movie.
Nemesis took place in 2379 and the sun went supernova and destroyed Romulus in 2387.
The main civilisations don't have much luck do they, considering the moon of Klingon homeworld was destroyed in 2293.

Here’s hoping they haven’t gone woke on it.

I find this really funny, because Star Trek has always been "woke"
A black women and an Asian man in important positions on a starship, the first interacial kiss on TV, that episode where Riker was attracted to the gender-less alien
Building a series with a black actor as the lead (DS9), and a female lead (Voyager) etc

I personally think theres a difference between progressive and "woke".
Woke to me is a toxic term.
