Star Trek: Picard

[rockymtnhigh]

I found the latest episode to be a bit forced. A lot of work just to work Moriarty in for about 40 seconds. They had "leaked" that the character would be included in the show, and there was a lot of fan speculation of an entire episode. Not really worth it. The "reboot" of Data was a cleaver idea, but I'm waiting to see what they do with him.

Also they change canon here. "Irumodic Syndrome" was just "space Alzheimer's". The writers of the final episode needed a senile Picard but, on the assumption that every disease of today would be cured by then, they made up a fake disease with the same symptoms. Never it, nor any mental problems that he might have had, were ever mentioned before. Now its some sort of lifelong mental illness that causes visions and delusions (and apparently why Picard's mother was mentally ill).

Spoiler alert. I've watched it. but

A great epsiode with plenty of "feels"

As well as a truckload of Easter eggs.

Since I haven't gotten to this point yet (Sucks I read this article a bit) but I know some of you have, here's a great story

Captain Kirk has made a return to Star Trek, but not in the way that anyone ever wanted to see the legend.

I really enjoyed this episode, a lot! No spoilers, no analysis, other than to say, lots of great one-liners in this episode. My favorite:

We're all gonna die.

Haven't had time yet to watch that show... Want to, but difficult to find the time...

I really enjoyed this weeks episode ....

I also enjoyed the "Ready Room" edition for this week, very well done.

Spoiler: My hopes for the Advanced AI

I was rooting for Moriarty to be the Advanced AI guarding Daystrom Station. But thinking about it, putting the Ultimate Villain in charge of Starfleet‘s most dangerous devices would fall into the Bad Ideas category.

I saw the actress playing Geordi’s daughter and assistant is actually LeVar Burton’s daughter, Mica. Too cool…

Most of them are. It is just a matter of getting used to WW geeking out and once you've done that, it is a great addition.

I like WW ...
I know, most don't, but thats type casting .... hes done a lot of other things than just Know It All Crusher ....

Just finished watching the current episode (6) again and it held up under rewatching just fine - picked up on a couple of minor things I missed the first time. The one-liners between Worf and Riker harken nicely to their barb-trading back through TNG and the TNG-cast Trek movies. Good stuff.

Spoiler

If I were Riker, I'd be suspicious whether that was really Troi, or a Changling - given who has captured him.

Episode 5 tonight, glad to see Ro/Kane again, good episode...

Other than we are all going to die, I absolutely loved this:

Worf: “Let us continue our search. But tread lightly, we will not be prey, we will be friendly energy.”

Riker, shaking his head: “I don’t understand the world anymore.”

Yeah, I feel ya Will!

That usually happens to everyone with age. Usually right after that you retire and start sitting on your porch and yelling at kids " Stay off my lawn!!!" I reached that age last year and I literally had to yell at a group of young kids to stay off my lawn, because they were swinging from the lnb arm of my old satellite dish .

Yep, happens to most all of us, I agree. I see my nieces sitting around absorbed in their phones and think "So this is what conversation has devolved into?"

"So this is what conversation has devolved into?"

If there is a snicker from one or the other niece shortly after you hear a send sound, you know they're talking about you behind your back.

Yeah, sometimes that happens... It's difficult sometimes...

So, here's a question (and no, I haven't seen episode 7 yet)...I read, before season 3, that if season 3 does well, there might be a season 4. Well, we're past the halfway point of the season. Any word on a possible season 4, or is season 3 it?

 

[osu1991]

I thought season 3 was always planned as the end. There has been talk of a Star Trek Legacy spin off utilizing former cast/crew members and current cast/crew members.
