Welcome to the podcast maneuver, the officially unofficial podcast for Picard on

CBS All Access. I'm Jim. I'm A-ron. And we just watched season one episode three, titled The End

is the Beginning, is the End. No, that's something else.

I got a question for you right off the bat.

They did the previously on, like they always do,

and I can't tell where that ends and where the episode begins.

Dude because they do like a little bit of a flashback to the Mars thing and there's big white light and

then we get a caption that says 14 years ago, Starfleet, whatever.

Yeah, Mr. robot did that a couple times to me last year.

It's cool, I like it, but for a recap perspective I have no idea where to start.

I think what it does is it serves to, I don't know, I guess it's a smoother reentry from that to the actual

episode and also instead of saying 14 years ago they can just show Mars on fire and then Picard wearing a

Star Trek fleet uniform and you know. But then they made the mistake of

saying 14 years. Yeah you're right you're right I was just about to I was

just about to call myself on that so it's like I I don't know I don't know why can't we just have

why can we just have retired admirals log yeah we're like I I wanted to hear Picard coming in from the commercial breaks with just you know that's all we need

We just need a voiceover say and retired Admiral's log Admiral Clancy's log. Yeah

The dumb-ass Picard came in old- ass Picard came in.

Old ass Picard came in again.

He's hound to me about this rescue, Bob.

I've quoted three Shakespeare's sonnets to no avail.

The Tallaxian ambassadors prove most recalcitrant to my intellectual prodings.
