Picard

I love the way that every time there is an action sequence, Picard gets pushed over onto a sofa and stays there until the threat is illuminated,
or someone jumps in and kills the bad guy while he watches.

It's slow for me and they seem almost shoehorning action into the plot just to pacify the critics.

I'll keep watching it till the end though.

As mentioned before, The Orville kicks it's arse like
 


It doesn't have much of a Star Trek identity. Neither does Discovery. It's too...silly. TNG, VOY and ENT were reasonably serious. I mean sure they all had some weird f***ing episodes but PIC just seems too light hearted.
 
The last episode is a vast improvement, as it's been mostly awful up til now.

Why did the Federation abandon the Romulans because synths (who the Romulans hate now, apparently) attacked Mars? There's no link there.

Why is the Federation and everyone associated with it now evil?

Where have all the Romulan ships gone? Did they accidentally get parked up around the supernova? Where's their government? Is there any point at all to them being in this? When did they become the 'generic bad guys' after Picard saved them in Nemesis and tried again with the supernova?

Are there any three dimensional characters in this at all? The Romulans, including space Cersei, barely have one dimension.

Why did Picard go out of his way to pick a fight on arshti or varshti or whatever everything new in this show is called that has to have an 'arjsh' sound in it?

Why is everybody in this show so monumentally stupid?

It's like the entire show has been conceived and written by someone who's only seen 'The Measure Of A Man' from TNG and the first new Star Trek film, and really hates America.

The federation apparently didn’t have enough ships left to secure the federation from the synths and help the Romulans which was also the reason Picard left Starfleet as he believed they should have prioritised saving the romulans.

Bit of a commentary on the state of US politics atm I think.

Because of the speed of the supernova they would likely have lost a lot of ships. They are really the only bad guys left unless you invent some more.

I agree it all seems a bit, baddy by the numbers.

To get the ninja kid to help him.

Yes they seem to be very 21st century people, not much evolution in the species.

I suppose everyone is just a bit part player to compliment Picard.
 
Overall I've been really quite disappointed with the series from a number of different reasons from acting, to script, to lore, canon, etc etc.. It's bland and boring most of the time, even cringe at points.
The last episode however was reasonable.
 
I was really looking forward to this, but it's bad.

The acting wooden, the story is weak I've watched too much of it to stop though. I'll plough on.

I think they main problem is that there's no Star Fleet, apart from the odd video message.
I wanted Federation Starships and I've got Santiago Carrera slouching over a piece of scenery looking moody.
 
SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALERT!!!!!!





I didn't know what the term "woke" meant, but I do now. This show is absolute shit. There have been strong female actresses throughout Star Trek and Star Wars but oh no! That's not enough. Now in this shit offensive show. 75% of the scenes only feature females!
The main character, soji - female
the science bird, rafi, the head of starfleet, all the other senior starfleet..female. Hue crying at the hands of the nasty female...it's pathetic! Disney is pathetic!
and that's just the actors.
The story is utter shite!
SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALERT!!!!!!
Show Looks beautiful though, excellent graphics




7 episodes before Picard meets the android. Ine between all that. The android is in love with a romulan within two weeks! haha fuck off!
Really handy how they ascaped the borg ship and ended up at Rikers place haha fuck off!

people are strange..I dont watch a program and count the number or colour of the actors, I watch to be entertained, I couldnt give a monkeys which characters are men or women, I dont even notice this sort of shit

do people really sit there and get angry about it??
 
It's not great but it's watchable for the cameos (even if they are brief and pretty meaningless).
