Star Trek: Picard

[zimmerwald1915]

In any case, if this show does focus on the destruction of Romulus, I'm curious to how they'll explain it. Because that whole thing was ridiculous. The shockwave from the Hobus star going supernova should have taken centuries to reach Romulus. Suffice to say, they would have had plenty of time to come up with a way to save the planet, or at least evacuate it.

(Star Trek Online decided the shockwave traveled through subspace to explain the discrepancy. Maybe PIC will do the same?)

I'm at a loss as to why they didn't just place Romulus around a supergiant star in the 2009 movie or its supplementary material. It's not as though they've ever had trouble retconning the composition of the Romulan star system. *cough*Nemesis*cough* *cough*Remus*cough*
