Series run
It probably will be 1 season . — MechQueste talk 21:31, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
Removed
I've removed a heretofore hidden claim that this series "is scheduled to be released in 2017." This statement is obviously erroneous. --Defiant (talk) 19:19, August 15, 2018 (UTC)
- it was hidden there so that the formatting was in place when the actual date was announced. -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:34, August 15, 2018 (UTC)
What formatting? Why not wait til the actual date is announced? I don't see anything wrong with the formatting of the page even though that line has now been removed. --Defiant (talk) 21:11, August 15, 2018 (UTC)
- I copied the format of the I AM ERROR page from when it was originally announced for consistency. That page included the date, so I commented it out to keep it for later and adjusted the wording so it flowed without the date being there (hence why it didn't seem wrong). I saw no reason to change the wording in the commented-out section as no-one reading would see it, so I didn't bother changing it from 2017. -- Michael Warren | Talk 11:19, August 18, 2018 (UTC)
TLA
So, we need to determine the three-letter acronym for this. Going by our past practices, the logical choice would be "PIC" (same style as Voyager and Enterprise), though I don't mind the concept of "STP" either. Thoughts? -- sulfur (talk) 22:31, May 15, 2019 (UTC)
- I would concur that "PIC" is the most logical choice, but it's not a huge deal to me. 31dot (talk) 22:41, May 15, 2019 (UTC)
PS I still like JLP, but it just doesn't work. Haha. -- sulfur (talk) 01:07, May 17, 2019 (UTC)
- No to mention that by using that one, everybody wants to start launching rockets (JPL anyone?) LOL--Sennim (talk) 10:54, May 25, 2019 (UTC)
- STP or PIC would be nice, although PIC would be consistent along the lines of TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and DIS. MechQueste 19:27, June 17, 2019 (UTC)

Is this enough for inclusion MechQueste 16:12, July 18, 2019 (UTC)
Production
Suggest adding to the already existing line on this page that reads "On 22 April 2019, production on the show began." Add to this aforementioned line to include the following: "The production will be based out of Santa Clarita Studios. SCS is an independent studio production facility based in Santa Clarita, California, 35 miles north of Hollywood. Although Star Trek will be returning to Hollywood, like all but one of the previous series, it will not be shot at Star Treks previous home of Paramount Studios." external source link : https://treksphere.com/news/picard-spinoff-starts-production/
Suggestion for inclusion Bryankreutz 77 22:22, July 18, 2019 (UTC)
Main Cast
Has there been any confirmation that returning cast members such as Jeri Ryan, Marina Sirtis etc will be part of the regular cast, or just cameos etc?? Just wondering if they all qualify as "main" cast or not.... MadeIndescribable (talk) 10:08, July 21, 2019 (UTC)
- All I know about is, that Kurtzman said unless previous characters can benefit the plot of the Series, just to bring them back for "The sake of it" or Cameos it would not be done, so at least they seem to be not just cameos and given it is about the Borg, Jeri Ryan and Del Arco are at least regulars.

"adherence to Berman-era Star Trek"?
The article currently says that the appearance of Spiner and Ryan in the trailer is "providing confirmation that adherence to Berman-era Star Trek was to some extent to be observed." I'm not entirely sure what that means, or why it's noteworthy. I think it's meant to be a rejoinder to the silly conspiracy theories found on YouTube and elsewhere that the Star Trek produced by Secret Hideout somehow isn't in the same continuity as previous Star Trek series; but as currently worded it obscures more than it reveals. In the absence of elaborate theories about designs being "25% different" and "alternate licenses", the assumption of this wiki is that we treat all officially produced Star Trek TV series and films as part of the same canon. There are alternate timelines and parallel universes within that canon, but until and unless there is an in-universe indication otherwise, we will assume that the Picard (and Seven, and Data/B-4, and Hugh) seen in Star Trek: Picard are the same individuals seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager, and the films. Right?
If that is the case, and we're not going to entertain or explain the feverish theories to the contrary, the fact that Picard will follow on from Berman-era Star Trek is hardly noteworthy; in fact, it's obvious. So unless somebody can give a good justification for its inclusion, I'm going to remove that clause in a day or two. —Josiah Rowe (talk) 02:18, July 24, 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, I haven't seen that called out anywhere. They've been very clear that they have intended to stick to canon. I say go ahead and remove it. 31dot (talk) 02:26, July 24, 2019 (UTC)
Done. —Josiah Rowe (talk) 02:55, July 24, 2019 (UTC)
