Star Trek: Picard

I've really enjoyed it, probably helps that I'm not a massive trek fan! I enjoyed the kirk era movies and watched TNG every week when I was a kid but thats about it. For me it's just great to see an actor of Stewarts quality back on TV in a role that he has made his own. I like the idea of the federation as a fading super power as all super powers come and go so it is interesting to explore that angle and the story while not being earth shattering at least has me intrigued, I'll certainly watch the rest of this series and cross my fingers for another. The pizza reunion was genius and took me straight back to being a kid.

What next a wild west style where they rescue a mentally unstable woman who is a psychic and weapon. Then self replicating arms use up all the usuable material in the universe. The main character delivers a pizza and frozen for 1000 years. Then the moon is blasted out of orbit. The a space station is involved in a idealogical war between two ancient species, one about control, another choas whose questions are "who are you" and "what do you want" then every 50,000 years a ancient organic-mechanics species returns to wipe out advanced life in the galaxy.

You've got to know your subject if you're continuing a story in an established universe. Otherwise, why bother putting your TV show there at all? The characters and the fictional universe have a history, and the fans know it. To get it wrong is to lose your audience, because they know you don't know what you're talking about.

It's the details that would satisfy long fans.
Imagine if he had just one line referred to that experience. I've raised kids! But mcguffin is not like them! She's too stubborn, clever, intelligent too whatever...

It's just better.

If they can remember a two episode character to bring them back they should certainly be able to remember the Inner Light.

Frankly it should have been required viewing before working on a series about Picard.
 
The writers should follow continuity and remember what’s been written before. Whether the producer does is surely irrelevant?

On the other side, It’s Riker that says it but are people expecting him to have remembered from 25 years ago that Picard had an imaginary child? I don’t remember everything I did or experienced 25 years ago never mind what someone else did.

Continuity wasn't really a thing for the other shows and movies...

continuity has never been a thing in Star Trek. Ferengi in Enterprise, long before first contact we saw in TNG. The huge visual change in Klingons between TOS and TNG wasn’t explained until enterprise, 15 years later.

Not every episode no, but I'd expect them to know one of the most highly regarded episodes in Trek lore if they're going to be given the job of continuing Picard's narrative. Ask any Trek fan what this is and they'll instantly know.
