    On Star Trek: Picard Episode 2 the ensign to the left of Data plays an Admiral.

    Just one of many guest hosts in season one who were previously on Star Trek: TNG

    CBS is providing the first episode of Picard for free on YouTube. I just watched it in fact. I thought it was good, but I won't be buying All Access just to watch one series.

    Who I remember moreso from some where else, but have been through his rather extensive filmography and can't put my finger on it

    Question:

    Why are people smoking on Star Trek: Picard like Cristobal Rios (some kind of cigarette) and Raffi Musiker (some kind of vaping device) since Gene Roddenberry hated tobacco,
    and even turned down several cigarette company commercials to sponsor the original Star Trek back in the 1960’s

    They are using the actual year rather stardates too. Which is a good thing

    Ep 3, the scientist chic is on about how to pay for the mission, I'm thinking, thought money didn't exist in the 24th century

    As a citizen of the federation you’re provided with free housing which includes a standard replicator for food, drink (earl grey, hot) clothing, plus other accessories

    But say I want something that isn't essential. Say I want a boat. How do I get it without money?

    I agree, no starship, no adventure.

    Currency isn't required for necessities on Earth but there are things traded as currency in the galaxy. Gold pressed latinum, for instance.

    What about Hookers on earth, you think the federation supplies hookers to whoever wants them?

    Of course there's stuff traded on earth. It's just one or two lines in various episodes and First Contact that weren't thought out to well implying there is no money in the 24th century
