Star Trek: Picard (CBS All Access)

[Matthew S.]

Spoiler

But Icheb's death could have had that domino affect plus the countless other xB's that were murdered by that one woman, could have pushed you beyond the point of logical reason and pushed her to the point that a revenge kill is the best kind of justice.

I guess we'll agree to disagree. The entire thing cheapens her character. As well as Icheb. What a terrible end to that arc. All in all though, the episode played out okay, felt like the Star Trek I used to watch. I hope we see a bit more of Seven sometime in the Trek Universe again, maybe to redeem herself in a way. 

 

Sums it up perfectly:

I think her doing what she did shows she's more human now.  How many people would snap and go down the same path if they went through the same thing?   It's interesting and at the least shows just how much things have changed since the supernova hit.

That is how I saw it, how many years has it been now that she has been 'human' again?

[Matthew S.]

My only pet peeve is why didn't JL make a reference to KJ? that may have got her to snap out of getting revenge.

The lady that Seven wanted to kill. Did you guys notice the amazing resemblance she has to Marina Sirtis? I thought it was her there for a minute. She looks just like her.

And by the way, Jeri Ryan still looks good!!!!

Jeri looks better than good, she's still HOT! even without a one piece

Yep, likewise. Every time she was on screen I thought for a second it was Marina.  Perhaps a relation?

Jeri would look better than good in a filthy potato sack.

Well I guess we are not the only ones who noticed. Check this link out. They even posted a photo of Marina and her and it's mind blowing.

Wow. I think it may be Star Trek nostalgia, but I found that quite emotional.

 

And I agree, they must have known what they were doing by casting Necar Zadegan.

It's the nose, they match and draw your attention.

Ok I’ve given this series a chance but this defiantly feels like it’s been hit with the Discovery stick!
 

The best and worst thing about Star Trek is the writing, sometimes you get bad episodes and sometimes you get great ones.  The problem with writing a series is it’s really hard to write a good story and keep the consistency there (heck it’s hard to even do a film).

 

Discovery and Picard look like Star Trek, have the buzzwords and some of the characters but just doesn’t feel right.  Picard with the f bombs and the unnecessary gore in the last ep felt really out of place.  It also feels bland, that it could really be any sci-fi show (when you remove the progressive society element).

 

I’m not old enough not to enjoy great sci-fi (the expanse), and I’m sure a good script could be written that doesn’t deviate massively from Gene Roddenberry’s ideals for Picard but this one isn’t.

 

I’ll continue to watch it but I don’t hold much hope it’ll improve.

Anyone get the feeling there making 7 out to be Bi?

 

No idea where you got that from.

I know for sure Q will be there soon. Probably by the end of the season on the last episode.

Go on, I’ll bite. How do you know this?

I’ve looked everywhere for this info too. Outside of Dorn being on some paperwork, there’s not much else known, especially relating to Q. 

 

I can just imagine the ###### with Worf, if he ends up wearing DSC like make up. Probably why we haven’t saw a single Klingon in this series.

Watch the whole thing. Especially the end of the video.

Discovery had a slow start but got better with the second season and Picard more serial then standalone episodes is still better Star Trek than JJ Abrams attempt.  I highly enjoy both shows and have been a Star Trek fan for many decades.

 

In regards to the cursing and the (mild) violence, remember all the other series was on public TV and had to follow censor guidelines.  I welcome the cursing and (mild) violence.

I think my only criticism is that the story has been very slow to start, I feel like we've barely gotten into the meat of the plot and we're almost to the end. That said, only a few scenes have seemed a bit forced but otherwise it's well acted, well shot and fun.

I agree. The cursing makes it more realistic because come on, let’s face it, we all curse on daily basis, so there’s nothing wrong with it. They bombed the F word in discovery a couple of times too.

Well, seeing as how we're going to get a second season it looks like they've decided to not wrap everything up by the end, just enough to keep you hooked and get you to watch season 2 though.  Preview for next ep looks like we're going to get a lot though.

I welcome it as well, it's not like they've filled the whole show with f bombs and gore.  Besides, what do people realistically expect will happen to a human body when they're blasted by not one but two rifles set to kill?  If anything, things are more realistic this way.

We still have about 5 episodes left this season.  Plenty of time to bring this all together and either wrap it up or span it to next season.

 

What chaps me, is that they are still filming these series as if they are on TV; 40-42 minutes in length with actual breaks for commercials.  Give us a full hours worth of programming please

I guess that's because after it's been an exclusive on their streaming service for a while they will move it over to their network and they don't want to edit anything out. I hadn't thought about it before your comment but I agree, I could happily watch 20 minutes more per episode!

More of a reason to up-sell CBS All Access  

 

If on network tv advertise that you can get the extended version on CBS All Access.

It’s $14 million per episode my brother. 20 more minutes would add another 2 or 3 million to the price tag. It’s a very expensive show compared to STNG, which cost $1.3 million per episode!!!!!!
