That didn’t even cross my mind while watching. Most of the crew would have no idea who Picard was either which is kinda funny.
Same but holding out hope they still do this at some point!
Culber had a bit of a moment like that when explaining the Soong mind transfer he was going to perform on Gray last season.
“Soong first used it on a a Starfleet admiral - Picard was his name - but the success rate was so low that eventually people just stopped trying.”
Overall, though, the Discovery crew seems remarkably well-educated about the time they skipped over.
Ah nice, I think I missed that line when I watched it the first time.
