History Trivia / StarTrekPicard

* DuelingShows: An online streaming weekly sci-fi legacy series that is a continuation of an older release (NOT based on more recent, modern material) relying heavily on nostalgia mixed with new content, which tells the tale of [[spoiler: a familiar character with an instantly iconic catchphrase living in a universe after a major galactic political upheaval, essentially taking on a rescue and escort mission for a young new face (who is possibly the child of a classic character), opposing an old enemy regime that's secretly working on some nefarious science project to regain power INVOLVING said new face, turning on his chain of command that turns out to be kinda corrupt, striking out on his own with limited-to-no support, and making new friends and allies on the way. Oh, and droid hatred is a major theme, with killer robots and sympathetic AIs featuring prominently.]] Now . . . am I talking about ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' or ''Series/TheMandalorian''?

* TheOtherDarrin: With the sole exception of Picard, the Latin American Spanish dub replace all the returning cast from both ''TNG'' and ''Voyager''.

** In the Japanese dub, at least so fat, Creator/{{Mugihito}} and Creator/HochuOtsuka also reprise their roles as Picard and Data from the dub of ''TNG''.

* ActorSharedBackground: Picard admits, just as Patrick Stewart has, that he isn't a fan of science fiction.

* TrailersAlwaysLie: The trailers and public interviews make it seem that Dahj is one of the main protagonists of the show next to Picard. [[spoiler: She was offed in the first episode itself, and then revealed to have a twin sister.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Patrick Stewart was initially insistent that besides Picard himself, the show should only feature new characters, wanting to make something with real substance and not just a glorified nostalgia bomb. Kurtzman and the other producers took a few days to convince him that more returning characters wouldn’t prevent that.

* ChannelHop: Outside the US and Canada, ''Picard'' is set to stream on Creator/PrimeVideo as an original, in contrast to ''[[Series/StarTrekDiscovery Discovery]]'', which streams as a Creator/{{Netflix}} original.

** In addition to Stewart, Creator/JonathanFrakes, Creator/MarinaSirtis, Creator/BrentSpiner, Creator/JeriRyan and Jonathan Del Arco will all reprise their roles from ''TNG'' and ''Voyager''.

** Creator/WhoopiGoldberg (Guinan) has accepted an offer from the producers to join in the second season.

* IKnewIt: The ending of ''[[Film/StarTrekNemesis Nemesis]]'' heavily implied that Data would be resurrected in B4's body after his HeroicSacrifice in the climax of that movie. ''Star Trek: Countdown'' (the prequel comic to the [[Film/StarTrek2009 2009 film]]) ran with this theory, but this series is the first time that Data has explicitly appeared after his resurrection in a canon TV series.
** Except [[DreamSequence he doesn't]] -- in "Remembrance", the series premiere, it is revealed that Data's attempted resurrection never truly took hold as B-4's positronic brain [[MySkullRunnethOver could not handle it]], and B-4 was shut down and disassembled as a result. This makes ''Picard'' a case of CanonMarchesOn for the 2009 ''Countdown'' comics.

* RoleReprise: In addition to Stewart, Creator/JonathanFrakes, Creator/MarinaSirtis, Creator/BrentSpiner, Creator/JeriRyan and Jonathan Del Arco will all reprise their roles from ''TNG'' and ''Voyager''.

* CreatorBreakdown: Jonathan Frakes admitted that he had anxiety attack returning to his role as Riker as, unlike the rest of the returning ''TNG'' alumni, he hadn't acted in over a decade, primarily being in the director's chair.

* FanNickname: "Old Man Picard", for the fact it seems in many ways a WholePlotReference to ''Film/{{Logan}}'', which is an adaptation of ''ComicBook/OldManLogan''.

* LyingCreator: The showrunners initially stated that Picard would be the only ''Next Generation''-era character to appear in the series. The San Diego Comic Con trailer and panel revealed that not only would Riker, Troi and Data return but so would ''Voyager'''s Seven of Nine.
