Outside of those stripe things along the torso, that uniform remind me a bit of the Star Trek Online Starfleet flag officer uniform. And no Federation emblem belt buckle.

So Patrick Stewart has never watched DS9?

Looking forward to this. I didn't realize it was premiering so soon. As I said before though, I hope it's a show that appeals to more "casual" Trek fans like myself who haven't seen every episode of every series.

To be fair, Stewart is only comparing it to Next Gen since both shows star Picard. DS9 isn't really relevant to the conversation even though it did a more dystopian Trek series first.

Maybe that was actually Teleport-and-Punch Picard from the films making a guest appearance, and not TNG Picard. |

His experiences with admirals alone should have given him indications that Starfleet and the Federation wasn't as wholesome as they seemed. |

To the DS9 comparisons, almost every plotline that dealt with the "seedy underbelly" of the UFP were all black ops, need to know, Section 31, Sisko and Ross pulling some shit on a need to know basis, etc. For everyone else at large, it would most likely appear to be status quo. Shit, the entire crew of DS9 had no idea exactly how the Romulans came into the war.
Only exception I can think of is Home front/Paradise Lost, which was resolved in a very Picardesque way.
So yeah, I can see a lot of things from DS9 being completely swept under the rug and forgotten.

The two defining moments this series is based on are from the worst performing Trek movie, and a barely mentioned event from a JJ Abrams reboot.
That bodes well.

Eh, I don't think just because you're following up on plot points from bad source material means what you're doing is going to be bad. If anything the events of Nemesis and the destruction of Romulus both have a ton of potential room for interesting things to come out of them and it'd be a waste not to see them through. Hell, just for a TNG example, Lore's a pretty solid villain despite his first episode being absolute garbage. |

Hell the scene where he threatens to set Wesley alight is priceless in itself. As for the plot points, wiping out one of Trek's major planets for the sake of a reboot that didn't need it was misguided to begin with, and Picard seemed to be at peace with Data's loss at the end of Nemesis with an implication at least some trace of Data may have survived in B4. |

Hell, just for a TNG example, Lore's a pretty solid villain despite his first episode being absolute garbage. The destruction of Romulus in particular has massive ramifications for the geopolitical state of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The Romulan Star Empire is one of the major powers in the region and the destruction of Romulus is likely going to completely destabilize the empire.
In Star Trek Online: this lead to some really interesting developments, including the formation of the Romulan Republic from a number of former Imperial colony worlds with a government based on liberal democratic values, Reman equality, and with some leanings towards Spock-influenced Vulcan-Romulan reunification. Though it was less true reunification and more normalizing relations between the Romulan and Vulcan people. They were the player characters' Romulan faction and fought for continued independence against a re-established Romulan Star Empire (which was a fraction of its former power, but still formidable) and the Tal Shiar. The Romulan Republic also got aid from both the Federation and the Klingons.
Also, personally speaking I thought "Datalore" was a fine episode. One of the few solid episodes of TNG Season 1. Though I liked Lore a lot and all his episodes except for "Descent Part 2" were pretty enjoyable IMO.

Australian posters
I was going through “Prime Video” looking for something to watch and saw that this show has a listing .. just a trailer at the moment.
So looks like Prime has the rights in Australia.. surprising cause I thought cbs had a partnership with Channel 10 and they have their own streaming service.
