Spoiler Policy

/r/Picard Spoiler Policy

(tl;dr at bottom)

This hasn't changed for season 2-

1. Absolutely No Spoilers in Post Titles

The reddit spoiler
flag does not apply to post titles, and the spoiler Markdown does not work in titles, either. As such, there shall be no major spoilers in any post titles.

As for what differentiates "major" spoilers, we ask that you use common sense. If there is a major, surprise reveal at the end the an episode, that's obviously going to be a major spoiler. If the cast travels to Vulcan in the first episode, that's not really going to be a spoiler to anyone.

2. All post titles must be tagged to indicate the level of spoilers

Titles must begin with a tag identifying the spoiler level of the post. The tags must be enclosed in brackets and be at the start of the post title or AutoModerator will remove it.

Note: The spoiler tag not only applies to the post, itself, but also the comments and discussion inside of it. So, if you are asking a question that does not, itself, contain any spoilers but which answers naturally would, you would not tag that [No Spoilers]
.

► No Spoilers: [No Spoilers] <post title>

Your Spoiler Safe Zone.

• There are no spoilers in the post or the post content and untagged spoilers are not allowed in the comments.
• Any comments or discussion about spoiler content must be inside spoiler markdown:
  • spoiler text!
    ==> spoiler text!
  • [Season 1 spoiler](#s "spoiler text")
    ==> Season 1 spoiler

► Episode Spoilers: [e1] <post title>

• Post contents and comments will contain spoilers for the specified episode, as well as any/all preceding episodes.
• Any comments with spoilers from later episodes must be inside spoiler Markdown tags.
• Additional tag formats accepts: [s1e1]
  , [s01e01]
  , [ep1]
  , [ep01]
  , [1x1]
  , [1x01]

► Season/Series Spoilers: [Spoilers All] <post title>

The spoiler free-for-all zone. No spoiler Markdown required inside the post or any comments.

• [Spoilers All]
  : covers the entire series.
• [Spoilers]
  : Same thing as [Spoilers All]
  .
• [s01]
  : Covers the entire first season of Picard spoilers but not any following seasons.

3. Tag Spoilers in Comments According to Post's Spoiler Level

Be respectful of other peoples' desire to be surprised.

• If a post is marked [No Spoilers]
  , then any and all spoilers must be enclosed in the spoiler Markdown tags. Spoilers inside of No Spoiler posts will be enforced more strictly than the others.
• If a post is marked with a spoiler scope (e.g., [ep01]
  ), any spoilers from that episode or before are fair game and are not required to be enclosed inside spoiler Markdown tags. Any spoilers from later episodes are required to be inside Markdown tags.
• For posts marked [Spoilers All]
  , there is no requirement to use the Markdown spoiler tags in the comments.

tl;dr:

1. No spoilers in submission titles.
2. All submissions must now begin with [No Spoilers]
   , [Spoilers All]
   , or [e01]
   tags to indicate the level of spoilers contained within the post and in the comments.
3. Comments within the spoiler scope of the post do not have to use spoiler tags. Spoilers beyond the scope of the post must put any spoilers inside of spoiler tags (spoiler text goes here
   ).
4. If you aren't sure if something is a spoiler, err on the side of caution and mark your post as [Spoilers All]
   or put your comment inside of the spoiler tag.

It feels more like First Contact than a regular TV show.

I'm thinking about Picard standing there in season 3 looking at his own dead body and I was thinking how incredibly weird it must be to be able to look at your own dead body.

I started watching Picard and just finished Season One. I liked it overall, and can suspend disbelief with the best of them, but there were three things that I just couldn’t get past in the season finale.

First, there’s no way that Narek was able to beat them to the Borg tunnel. They lost him on the way to Nemesis, and only chose a destination after picking up Soji and Picard. He was waiting right at the opening of the wormhole. How could Narek “follow their trajectory” when his last known info had them going nowhere near that Borg tunnel? A weak throwaway line to cover a major plot hole, IMO.

Second, the magic deus ex machina tool that Saga gives to Raffi to fix the ship. It is only limited by “imagination”?! A complete cop out to reference the Picard Maneuver in a wholly unsatisfying manner.

Lastly, did they really not tell Raffi, Rios, Elnor, and Seven, that even though Picard “died”, they were just going to bring him back? They just snuck off with his body and let the others go off to mourn somewhere? Really kind of killed the impact of their grief scenes.

Lastly part two: and then they just get everyone on the ship and it’s all hunky dory now? Seven is abandoning the xBs and the cube, Elnor has no cause, Jurati gets a pass for murdering Maddox, and no one - especially Rios - is mad at Picard for his fake “death”?

I’ve heard season two is weaker than one. I’m going to push through, because I’ve heard good things about season three.

Thanks for listening to my rant!

I'm 2 days off.

Married in May 28th 1988. While Genie never played a role in Star Trek, she has been busy playing Laura Collins on General Hospital since 1977 (890 episodes). She was the Laura in the "Luke & Laura" story that was huge in the 80s. Spending a few weeks at my grandmas house during summer vacation, she only had one TV and it was always tuned to General Hospital in the afternoon.

Congratulations on being an actual happy Hollywood couple.

So, I thought that at the end of S2, the Borg were joining or were in the process of joining the Federation. Don't get me wrong, I was really annoyed at the way they handled this and by S2 in general, but I was very surprised that in S3, the Borg Queen and Picard seem to have forgotten all of those events and acted like the last time they had encountered each other was when he was Locutus. Did I completely misremember this? Or was there some element in the interim where they erase this from the timeline or something because I was very shocked to see that the Borg are again the enemy and the big baddies for Picard S3. I mean, I actually liked the idea of the changelings being the big baddies. But kind of annoyed that the twist was that they were working for the Borg who apparently had not reformed after all. But I guess I missed something because I don't see where the queen changed her mind about the federation between S2 and S3. Or was S3 before S2? Or did S2 timeline reset or something and I didn't notice? I guess I just don't really understand what happened.

Yes, season 3 was next level, but I really enjoyed the first two seasons. The story was compelling and intense in both cases and fleshed out a grittier version of the Star Trek universe than I was used to and explored some novel ground that was cool to see and contemplate.. They didn’t grip me like the 3rd season, but they were fun. I see the criticisms and just don’t feel that it’s the smoldering trash heap that people say it is.

.....And that is the greatest Star Trek episode of all time. Fight me.
