27: Why Is There Water on the Floor?

Romulans and Star Trek (2009).

Star Trek (2009) featured a prominent role for a revenge-seeking 24th-century Romulan captain named Nero and his unusual ship, the Nerada. Nero’s time travel to the 23rd century created an alternate timeline and left fans wondering what led to the Romulan supernova of 2387—and what happened after. Finally, the first season of Star Trek: Picard, along with the Picard: Countdown comics and Una McCormack’s novel The Last Best Hope, have provided some answers.

In this episode of The Line, hosts Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi, Brandon-Shea Mutala, and Justin Oser discuss Star Trek (2009) and its connections to Star Trek: Picard. We cover the Romulan supernova, the Nerada, and the parallels between survivors who have lost their homeworlds. We also share news about our own future.
