Wow, almost a 3 minute intro to the review? lol


Not sure if I'm supposed to take the review seriously. Did find it funny though.

Red Letter Media ripped it a bit.

I think they are tired of mindless action in Star Trek.

Yeah, seems to be a theme that a lot of people want the Utopia days of TNG back. While I like both the lighter and darker tones, I do agree that the action sequences were over the top and not well justified. Still, I enjoyed the show and think they were overly nitpicky on stuff like Picard's dreaming of Data and the fan service (like the Picard Day banner). I'm guessing they felt like they needed a bit of fan service after the last few years of heavily criticized shows/movies.

The actress who plays the Romulan refugee at Picard's vinery caught my eye. Her name is Orla Brady and she's sneaky hot....

For a limited time, the first episode of Picard is currently airing on YouTube.

I watched it last night and thought it was fantastic.

It looks like Cinema, not a TV show. The storyline and performances were note perfect.

I can’t wait to binge the entire series.

I too watched it on Youtube and enjoyed it. My only nitpick is the scene with Picard and the scientist at the end; a few lines of dialog explaining why the science works the way it does would have been helpful.

It's also streaming for free on the app. I watched it before I created an account.

I thought it was okay. I get the nostalgia appeal, and as I was 13 when TNG began, it's 'my' Star trek series, along with DS9. But it felt like it was lacking something, which I can't really quantify. I am interested to see the origin of and the direction that they take The Artifact, and I did like the introduction of the Zhat Vash. Wonder what their big secret is. So I'll definitely keep watching, even if I wasn't initially blown away.

Never thought I'd see Droid shaming in Star Trek. Weird...

I thought that was actually a really cool concept and I'm curious to see if it's revealed who exactly reprogrammed those Synthetics to attack the Mars base.

The obvious answer would be The Romulans but maybe the Borg are involved as well.

Since Patrick Stewart said that Picard is his Logan, my money's on one more confrontation with the Borg...

They definitely upped the visual style.

The Nex Generation series was always shot very flat and static.

Just wouldn’t work in today’s TV era.

Frazod 02-01-2020 01:21 PM

The second episode was definitely a drop off. The plot development seems forced, convoluted and slow.

And dropping f-bombs in Star Trek just seems..... wrong. Just a sign of the times, I guess.

KC_Connection 02-01-2020 01:42 PM

Enjoying it so far, particularly any scene with Picard in it. Patrick Stewart can still carry a show.

One of the best episodes of TNG ('The Measure of a Man') addressed the rights of artificial intelligence (which Trek has done from time to time in its different iterations). Bruce Maddox was also in the episode, who I'm sure we'll see soon enough here.
