Star Trek Picard SPOILERS thread

[Truth Seeker]

Traditionally, unlike Star Wars with its Expanded Universe, there was never any real shared 'canon' in Star Trek spin-off fiction, so it would have to be something recent, if at all. And if it were recent and canonical, it would already have been updated to sources such as Memory Alpha.

Actually there was a share 'canon' piece in TNG, I found out listening to a podcast...when Picard met Spock's father aboard the Enterprise. Picard made mention on seeing Spock at his Wedding to Savvik---The novel--Vulcan Heart- Episode 23/Sarek--in Season 3

Wow...this latest eps was dragging.

Just one small chime, but it is bugging me. It is Agnes, not Angus. Agnes Jurati. Yes, Maddox's speech is somewhat mumbled due to his injuries/medical status, but he is talking to Agnes.

/Rant Off

Yes, but it does sound like he calls her Angus at several points. So much so that my Closed Captioning for the episode even showed Angus.

Yeah, but she introduces herself to Picard as Agnes Jurati.

Given that the novel The Vulcan's Heart was published in 1999, nine years after the episode Sarek, I think you may be misinformed on that one.

Interesting...so, that line in the show,,,.became a book 9 years later. *just found that scene with Riker as they were walking towards the transporter room to meet Sarek and his entourage'

And no, was not misinformed, just didn't know the time frame of the book placement...thank you for that clarity.

Watched the latest episode and it was awesome. Picard beaming over to the cube and his reaction to being their was really well done. The action in escaping was pretty cool. We learned more about romulan culture. I like who Hugh has become, he seems like a great guy.

I meant you were misinformed about it being an example of shared canon. A novel being based on facts previously established in the show doesn't make it canonical - it only works if it happens the other way around.

Understood.

I really liked it too. Well structured, a lot of interesting information presented. A lot of heart. (If you're going to make a lot of conflict among the characters, IMO you have to balance it with characters having each other's backs, otherwise it's just miserable. This episode struck a good balance to me.)
