“Blue skies, smiling at me.” And after that premiere of Star Trek: Picard<\/em>, I\u2019m smiling right back at them.<\/p>\n In case you didn\u2019t binge watch a ton of old episodes and movies to prepare, that song is a nod to the final movie, Star Trek: Nemesis<\/em>, where Data sang it as his wedding gift to Will and Deanna. At the end of the movie, B4 was humming lines from the song to himself, letting Picard know that some essence of Data still lived on inside his brother. The first scene goes on to also acknowledge the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>, which ended with the principle cast members playing poker aboard the Enterprise-D and Picard joining them. The last line spoken on ST:TNG<\/em> was his, saying \u201cSo, five card stud, nothing wild, and the sky’s the limit.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking of limits, let\u2019s establish some ground rules for these reviews. I\u2019m a theories and analysis guy at heart, so I\u2019m all about watching the trailers, reading the social media groups, and theorizing about where the show is going and what lies ahead. If it\u2019s publicly available, we\u2019re apt to be talking about it here. I won\u2019t go into deep spoiler territory though\u2014reveals from people who\u2019ve seen future episodes or have inside knowledge from the production, that kind of thing. It\u2019s all about having fun and that\u2019s what I won\u2019t spoil here.<\/p>\n So, all that said and done, it\u2019s time to\u2026engage.<\/p>\n
