Kurtzman Out?

I need to make a video compositing her sermons with some of Archer's homespun never ending wisdom. Queue the soaring music.
There might be enough material for a 30 minute episode. Once when I was in East Africa, I had a chance to see a gazelle writing a script... even so I come to ask myself the same question that young soldier asked the general: are we done yet? But I think it's important.. That We Remember.. The 27 Crewman.. Who died during these speeches waiting for a commercial break to go to the bathroom. Because THAT is Starfleet. We're not like gazelles.
Must have missed those.I may have had a criticism or two over the last couple years.
They happened in an alternate universe.
(Un)fortunately, I would. I can't guarantee it would be pretty, but I'd at least unintentionally make the posting as entertaining as possible. If I could still type on the keyboard properly. But maybe even better if I couldn't type properly...
Since when?
So the OP and Nerdrotic video has been 100% discredited again. Why is this thread still open?
Pirates...ye be warned type of a thing?
Not that it will stop the ridiculous speculation and wishes of Kurtzman's failure and professional demise.
True. We live in a world where some were calling the $1.6 billion-grossing Star Wars: The Last Jedi a financial failure. It's like a fantasy elseworld

I don't believe at. At all. That was one of the videos that kept up being recommended for me on YouTube, which I desperately tried to avoid, lest I be bombarded with more of that "angry male voice citing alt-right buzzwords over stills from a genre show".
That being said: It's absolutely reasonable that test screenings for Picard HAVE taken place: They do this around as fast as they have the first footage in a rough edit. Test screenings are weird. Early on, they often don't even screen whole episodes, but just single important scenes or moments. For sit-coms they sometimes let test screenings decide who is actually going to be in the cast.
I just hope this video is entirely a fabrication - because sometimes these "rumour"-videos do have a kernel of truth in them (which is then wildly mis-interpreted, re-contextualised, and completely right-wing-y politicised). And "Picard show having negative test-screenings" is something I absolutely don't want to happen, but is at the same time a real, scary, possibility.
If I'm in Vegas I am not taking those odds.
It's fun dissing on the lesser minded?
It's the same odds as for ANY movie or series atthis point.
Many successfull or good movies have bad test screenings early on - that's why they're doing them after all: To catch things while still having time to tweak them. George Millar was very open about how "Mad Max: Fury Road" was shaped by reactions from test screenings. And this was probably the one blockbuster with the biggest authorial vision in the last decade.
At this point - odds that the test screenings are negative are higher than positive. It's early on after all. The question is weather it's the "usual", fixable stuff (bad audio mixing, unclear edits, lack of "flow", bad color mixing, need for ADR, irritating scene length...), or if it's something "severe" - like the main story not working.
Also the reason why (except if they're really bad) - no one is going to get fired over negative test screenings. They're ALL negative to a degree!
Fair point. I just don't find it scary because, as you state, it is a part of the process.
Because people keep posting in it?
At this point, this thread is a study of how clearly fabricated rumors are started, spread and how no matter the content some people will always believe them to a varying degree. It's very educational
I was a Communication Major in college, with a concentration in Mass Media. Too bad I graduated in 2004. Those courses are probably so interesting now, with the advent of Social Media. So much more to work with.
Well, maybe Nerdrotic is discredited, but I never presented the assertion as fact. I questioned it as well, so I posted on a discussion forum. It seems to have generated some interesting discussion.
These kinds of rumors - whether in media, press, politics, etc. - always seem more aimed at creating an emotional response and seeds of doubt, rather than full-on persuasion through reason. The cumulative effect is meant to erode support for the object that's being focused on, but it's never even meant to stand the actual "truth" test, because the emotional response of the viewer/reader is always the main goal (in the hopes it will override logic). AND besides all of that, people will do/say anything to get clicks for their pages, making that $$$.
