Star Trek: Picard

[Sideshow Spock]

2nd ep was pretty weak. That exchange between Picard and the admiral was laughably ridiculous..

I haven't watched any yet, but I am hearing there will be some big change in the show after episode 4, and not in a good way. I am curious to see this show though

The premiere episode is streaming free on YouTube for a limited time:

It was certainly a tense exchange. She'll be taken down a few notches before too long, I'm sure.

thanks for the heads up Sideshow. I enjoyed the first episode a lot. Curious though that the Starfleet people walking around in San Francisco are all wearing those uniforms from TNG. weren't all fleet uniforms changed to colored turtlenecks, gray on the shoulders?

[Bruce Banner]

Show still has me interested... plot is unfolding in a compelling way.

(3rd episode flashback showed Picard in his Starfleet uniform at the time of his resignation.)

[EMCE Hammer]

I'm still with it. Not necessarily blown away, but I want to see where it all goes.

[Bruce Banner]

Nice to see a classic old style Romulan Bird of Prey.

SPOILERS



It's amazing.. they spend almost two seasons on Voyager developing Icheb and his relationship with Seven.. the VOY episode "Imperfection" (where Icheb sacrifices his cortical node to save Seven) is one of my favorite eps of the show..

..and it all gets reduced to a quick gore-porn scene of Icheb being tortured and Seven having to mercy kill him.

That's Star Trek in 2020.

Give me 90s Trek any day.

Yup, gone are the days of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic vision of the future. Replaced the grim and gritty, to drive home some political agenda. Pass...

[Bruce Banner]

The f-bombs are certainly jarring (like they were in Discovery), but I'm curious to see how this particular story plays out.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I don't remember Icheb. who was he?

[Hector]

He was a semi-regular on Voyager for a couple of seasons. Different actor though,

Is Picard a soap opera series or do they have "monster of the week" stand alone episodes ?

Soap opera. And I mean, literally there's an awful and pointless storyline where a mom tries to reconnect with her angry, resentful son after she wasn't "there" for him in his youth. And he says get out of here mom! I don't forgive you! And the camera slowly pans to sad mom face as he walks away.. these are the days of our lives..
