Riker: "Excellent recovery, Admiral." Picard: "Shut it, Will." Love it!

The smile on Picard's face when Seven said "engage" was his silent approval and joy to see tradition being carried on.

Riker: Excellent recovery Admiral. Picard: Shut it Will. Me: 😂😂😂 Excellent first episode.

Amazing how the Titan emerged out of space dock like the Enterprise moving out of space dock in the TOS movies. Bravo!

The launching of a starship should always be grand and majestic; a sight to behold. This scene absolutely nails it.

1:14 As a big fan of James Horner’s music and a fan of Jerry Goldsmith, this scene’s marriage of their music is PERFECT and always makes me smile. Music like this is missing in films today. Wonderful work on the score for season 3. BRAVO!

Those opening Starbase doors. Didn't know I needed to see them again. :D

"Shut it, Will" oh god, you have no idea how long I have waited for Picard to say that to Riker :)

The music from the films is nostalgic as hell and gave me massive goodbumps. Star Trek is back! Forget the dumpster fires of the first two seasons. This is Trek, Trek for the fans.

Fricking Star Trek moments never fail to bring a tear to this old mans eye.

I've been watching this for sixty years, initial launch still takes my breath away.

I haven't been following Picard, but my God this scene was beautiful. Great homage and respect to the past Treks.

I loved this scene so much. From the ST 2 and ST 6 easter eggs in the script, to the musical score that was so evocative of James Horner's Star Trek 3 theme. And of course the quick reference to "The Adventure Continues" cue as they warp out. And yes that was the most fantastic rubber band effect I have ever seen. They went down Nostalgia Lane for this episode and I am here for it!

Very evocative of Lt. Saavik taking out the Enterprise in ST: Wrath of Khan.

This season was a big old kiss to everyone who loves ship spotting.

Awesome scene!!! Watched it several times! And I’m so glad that they got a composer who GETS Star Trek music!

Seeing 7 with Picard and Riker is like something that was always missing from TNG. But I never realized it.

the score in this movie was phenomenal! the feels!! the nostalgia!

All hail the return of the rubber band effect We've missed you!

Truly a Star Trek, Starfleet moment, amazing!

“Shut it, Will!” 😅😅 Love it!

The music playing as the Titan exited Spacedock was perfect.

Jeri Ryan is so perfect as this character. So cool to see this character develop more in this series.

Now that scene is more like it! It had that Star Trek feel to it; from the characters, to the tech and musical score. Nice all around!

The entire scene is so cinematic, from the visual effects (love the rubber band effect), production design (my only nitpick is that the bridge is a bit *too* dark which makes it difficult to see the rest of the bridge crew) and the orchestral score has so many callbacks to the Star Trek TOS and TNG movie scores composed by James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith that it gives me goosebumps. So far, Picard Season 3 seems to be off to a good start; let’s hope that the rest of the episodes live up to the promise of the premiere episode.

"The systems are all automated now" "You're going to be a captain before you know it" The writing on this season is solid.

In Star Trek 6 Kirk ordered the Enterprise out of space dock at 1/4 impulse power and was told that it's maneuvering thrusters ONLY in space dock. Full impulse is calculated at 10 kilometers per-second. So 1/4 it still pretty damn fast! 9000km/h!!

What a wonderful update of leaving space dock from "Wrath of Khan".

Wow ! The TITAN ! Wish they could bring up a series on this starship.

The hints of music from Wrath of Khan and the first movie are perfect

Scene captures the beauty of Star Trek as well as what makes Picard such a good leader. He demonstrates his trust in his mentee taking the ship out of dock and then after she corrects him instead of letting his ego show he praises her and finds joy when she says engage.

Love the way they are using melody from the spacedock scene in Wrath of Khan for this

Goosebumps, total throwback to Wrath Of Khan! She's such a mix of the 1701A and 1701D! Love it!

Do I hear some of James Horner's ST III score in this? Absolutely amazing

So glad the Titan became The Enterprise at the end of Picard Season 3. Well deserved. She is a beautiful ship.

Star Trek Is….Finally….Back!!!

If only S01/02 were well written like this.

I never get tired of these scenes. Impressive!

Finally!!! People behaving NORMAL again in StarTrek, StarTrek is BACK! ❤

Love this moment! Thank you for bringing what we love about star trek back

Great start for Picard! And Seven is so coooool, developing and shining.

I'm still amazed by the size of the starbase structure, it fits things that are already big...

Awesome scene! Seven of Nine in the captain's chair is a great thing to see.

With two highly decorated former Starfleet Captains on the bridge I'm surprised there's no further blows between them other than Picard saying "Shut up, Will!!" 😄

Awesome looking ship! Looks like an Ambassador mixed with an Excelsior class ship. I didn't realize the third season had begun! Got to catch up on episodes!

Brilliant music, somehow they have managed to combine the scores of the first, second, third and sixth movies properly and fit it in one scene.

I love that look on Picard's face when she uses his word.

The music gave me goose bumps. It felt like coming back home.

I wish they did this from Season 1, it's what us fans expected, but they took too long to deliver, though Seven's "Aft thrusters one quardter impulse" was, grating, to say the least, "Aft thrusters ahead, port & starboard station keeping, standby one quarter impulse" was the line she meant I'm sure... :P

The USS Titan is quite impressive in it's departure from the Spacedock. It reminded me of the NCC 1701-A's departure in Star Trek 6 - The Undiscovered Country. Yes she may be a bit smaller than the NCC1701-D and the E and F of the Galaxy, Sovereign and Odessey classes - a ship is still only as good as it's crew. There's no doubt that she did come up to the plate and helped to save Earth. The USS TITAN NCC 80102A really did so do.

Wow! Someone besides the Captain taking the ship out of space dock, how original!

This.. THIS... is Star Trek. Finally.... took them long enough. Fabulous

While I love this scene, it's bizarre that Shaw is somehow not on the bridge to see his own ship out of spacedock.

Finally some good music! When was it actually decided that great orchestral scores no longer had any place in films?

Good Job Seven there is a first for everything. When a vessel leaves Spacedock the commands are 1. Call the Tower and request permission to leave. When permission is granted the next command is 2. Clear all Mooring! docking clamps are turned off, airlock boarding tunnels are retracted, and tractor beams are disabled and mooring lights are retracted. 3. Activate External Lights Thrusters to Station Keeping! The lights are turned on, stardrive is activated, and thrusters are engaged for station keeping. 4. Aft Thrusters Take Us Out! Engines to 1/4 Impulse! If all is good thrusters are engaged to push away from the dock and impulse engines are placed at 1/4 to leave Spacedock. Once the ship has passed Jupiter the final command is sent. 5. Warp 9 ENGAGE! Once that command is sent the ship leaves Sector 001 and goes to warp.

Perfect perfect perfect ❤❤❤❤ in every way !!!! Cannot be more excited about this season

I remember people complaining about the Bridge-Set in _Generations_ being lit too dimly. Which it was, compared to how it looked in TNG, that's true... but *this?* Also, "Neo-Constitution-Class"? Watched the TMP-Director's Cut again last weekend, *prominently* featuring her predecessor in all her glory. This Kitbash doesn't hold a candle. Love the Music, love the banter, this clip has some of that Old-School-Trek-feeling, which is always welcome, but I'll remain guarded. Season 2 _also_ *started* with a Trek-like Episode, after all.

Wish they would buy some ceiling lights for these new starship bridges… lol.

I adored the musical cues, referencing BOTH of the first two movies.

Absolutely love & miss all of this!!! 💜💯

I nearly teared up when Picard addressed Seven of Nine as Commander Hansen. I know it sounds stupid, but I found that very thrilling and I got goosebumps. I felt it was the next step towards her humanity.

Ah....so good to see the proper way of going to warp again.

Oooooh!!! I have just fallen in Love❤️... U. S. S. Titan!!! Here I go again.. Loved the Next Generation in the 90's.. I must start all over again just to admire the sheer size and velocity of the the Titan.. It's colossal.. Massive.. Fitting for Picard.. Impressive doesn't even begin to describe the Titan...

Some of the best CG work I have seen in Star Trek ever. This is inspired and absolutely beautiful.

The motion picture vibes were strong here.

🥰🥰🥰🥰 man I teared up watching this clip. This was a hats off to the wrath of khan. 💕🖖💕

Thank you for uploading in the correct aspect ratio without black bars.

We dream about this kind of technology. We make movies of it. Someday this will be real. It'll be as commonplace as launching a rocket from Earth. I've been a quasi-trekkie since September 8th, 1966 when Kirk, Spock, Mr. Scott and the entire cast step foot onto the Enterprise and with each evolution of Star Trek it just gets better and better. Hats off to Gene Roddenberry and all they went through to bring kids like me into the realm of dreaming about travel at warp speed.

In this scene I hear parts of the soundtrack from Star Trek 2 - 6, as well as a few seconds from Star Trek 2009 :).

Nearly 50 years on. And the TMP warp sequence is still the best by far.

There is something magical about good Star Trek... and this clip is good Star Trek.

Man, I’ve got Trek fever real bad. The clips are so exiting to me. I’m convinced this is accurate to our future.

That Ship is GEORGEOUS

This was as close to perfect as any of Paramount Plus' "New-Trek" shows have ever gotten. They finally got the formula right. If I had one complaint, it was that Raffi was still somewhat whiny, but I suspect she'll get even better. Other than that, the cinematography, the acting, the humor, the visual effects - all perfect. And the music...I loved all the call-backs to both Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner. As Kirk himself put it in "Star Trek III," "To absent friends..."

Picard got goosebumps when 7of 9 said "Engage" to jump to warp speed.

I know it isn't befitting of the fiction but I wouldn't even be mad if the show creators renamed "Star Trek: Picard" to "Star Trek: The Next _Next_ Generation" after this episode. Goosebumps all the way through.

The Titan really is a beautiful ship.

At least they got Spacedock right. And the tip of the hat to James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith was keenly noticed. Don't care for the Enterprise I mean Titan though.

So many music arrangements to hear in that one clip alone, The motion picture being one of them, the wrath of khan, genesis planet, the undiscovered country, so much crammed in. I need to watch the blu ray I just purchased of this series.

I love the use of James Horner's music from The Wrath of Khan and Jerry Goldsmith's music from The Motion Picture in this scene.

Now I wanted a new Star Trek show, starring Jeri Ryan!

There need to be more lights on the set. Other than that : Brillant!

Wow this is really a nice combination of the old and the new Starfleet design. Really nice ship.

What a great scene, blending some nostalgia with the tease of a new series! I love the darker bridge, at least when leaving dock. SO much better than Abrams' light show crap.

SPOILER ALERT So far I love season 3 myself. Everything is the way I hoped. And some great Easter eggs too. Of course we can't have an interesting story line without a stiff no respect insulting jakazz you'd love to eject out the airlock into space, and this one just happens to be the new Captain. And OMG! The Jerry Goldsmith theme for ST The Motion Picture and TNG. Thank you writers you finally heard our cries.

Still not a fan of the dark bridge. Have it like that at red alert, but not all the time would be better I think

Excellent job on adapting the score from Star Trek 3. Great scene.

Wonderful scene, the Titan looks some ship! Beautiful!

I'm trying to come up with a timeline and from what I am picking up from this episode, through dialog and other observations, I am coming to the conclusion that we are 5-10 years from the events of Season 2, which was 2401. 1) Raffi's Granddaughter appears to be around 7 years old?? Her daughter in law was pregnant in Season 1 Freecloud. 2) Seven completed Starfleet Academy which is a 4 year program. I'm sure her rank was accelerated. 3) Shaw stated he was in command of Titan A for 5 years and he deleted Rikers music library when he took command. This tell me that following Season 1, Riker cane out of retirement was in command of Titan A, making Riker a 2 Ship Titan Captain. Also Picard said the line of "your old command". I originally thought namesake but I'm thinking as I started Riker Commanded 2 ships names Titan. I'm conclusion unlike seasons 1 and 2, all we know is we are somewhere in the 25th Century. Assuming Riker Commanded Titan-A from let's say a bit, and then Shaw has been in command for 5 years, also based on Raffi's Granddaughter age, I'm putting Picard Season 3 around 2407-2411. We are quite a bit in the future from last seasons.

The captain is not on the bridge during launch ???

The sound track adds a lot to that scene

I've been a star trek fan since I was 11yrs old,..I'm 60, and I've watched just about every episode, it's most........fascinating!!!!!

Excellent recovery Admeral. Shut it Will.

If ONLY she bore THE name of a REAL titan........ ENTERPRISE 😁👍❤🇺🇸

I love that they also returned to circular saucer shape and not the football.

Awesome. As always. ❤️

If they are instantly going at maximum warp, then they can't hope to go twice as fast to get to some other destination in the same amount of time.

Wait... I thought you're not supposed to do impulse engines in Spacedock?

That music....omg. Now this is Trek....

This scene never gets old no matter which version of star trek this is
