Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

- Start date
TNG started in the 80's, man. The A-Team fired millions of bullets in the 80's and only managed to flip some cars. It was a different time.
No back in the day, you would toss your commbadge down before heading off to murder someone.
PIcard would give you a stern telling-off before you warp out and fade to black.
PICARD: "Here? The last I heard you were...well, not here."
GUINAN: "Things changed. Someone my age has to jump on every career opportunity that presents itself. The galaxy's getting older but won't stop for a codger like me."
Was interesting but the Bernie Brats converged like hyenas on a dying ibex.
When Dirk Benedicts roamed free not only on Earth but in the depths of space.
It's funny watching people tag Brent Spiner and assume he's endorsed Buttigieg when all he did was Retweet Takei because he found it interesting.
Is this forum sponsored by or in any way affiliated with CBS / CBS All Access?
There is not one negative thread or comment here on this series nor any (justified) criticism of this (awfully bad) "Star Trek" series.
Or is this some happy-clappy let's-love-every-crap-we're-fed" weird place out of a Twilight Zone? Honestly, this forum/thread is worse than North Korea, having the hack writer slash producer and plagiarist Alex Kurtzman as its Great Leader in a "wonderful, perfect world of Fake Trek", where everyone is blindly praising and worshiping his each new creation (or rather abomination), and where every honest, and above all justified, criticism considering the absolute trampling of Star Trek spirit/canon and the virtual non-existence of any creativity, is practically non-existent (and treated with disdain?). One just needs to look at those numerous forum members sporting avatars of characters from this new series "Star Trek" Picard - which, by the way, is neither (I for one am not fooled by the title) -, and that only after a handful of episodes. It's like putting photos on your desk of someone after only meeting them for the first time. That's either a true fan(aticism) or a paid professional! Tertium non datur.
God, I'm glad there are such sites as IMDb which have a reasonable amount of, again, justified and understandable negative reviews/comments of this horribly bad piece of television, which only symbolically carries the name Star Trek and features past Trek series characters.
Has nobody wondered about and been surprised by the profanities and the F bombs in this series (having the name Star Trek), which is so uncharacteristic of and misplaced in Star Trek? Is nobody here bothered by that? Everyone would be bothered by it if it were used here, in the threads of this forum, where its rules prohibit its use, but I guess none of the 'blindly devoted' to this Kurtzman-instalment are or would ever be bothered by it, even if it were used more excessively. Talk about double standards.
What a shame. What a bad piece of science-fiction this is. What a terrible representation ("vision") of Star Trek. Now some may say, "it's not the 90's anymore" or "it's, like, your opinion". Well, it's not about present vs past, it's about respect vs disrespect (of the source material), and, besides, thinking this crap is good is also just an opinion. While I may respect such an opinion, I have no respect for that towards which such favorable opinion is held, in this case the fake trek series having the name Picard. The series Picard is made by the same hack writers and producers of the Kurtzman team as the abomination STD. It's another drivel masquerading as Star Trek. Unfortunately. As much as I love Star Trek (1966-2005) and wishing it success, I can't even like this garbage. It's all Star Trek isn't. It's anti-Trek. Like everything produced by Bad Robot (or rather Bad Reboot), Secret Hideout et al. We usually say "live long and prosper", and while I wish that upon the Official Works of Trek 1966-02 as well as the Trek-like series The Orville, to STP (as well as STD) I wish - Live short and fail.

How dare something be different?
Action/adventure series with social commentary potentially built in. Sounds like Trek to me.
And that's what it was pitched as at its roots. Trek is a very flexible platform allowing for multiple types of stories to be told within it.
And swearing? Come on. Trek has pushed that envelope at every turn. That's not new.
If there was not one negative comment, how could we treat the negative comments with disdain?
This is just silly. There's no reason why an internet forum and a TV show should have the same content rules. I wouldn't GAF if this forum did allow unlimited cursing and so forth. But it doesn't.
As for being surprised by the show's content... no. Why would anyone be? The show's rated MA. Says so right on the page every time you order an episode to play.
I don't know if logic works here.
I brought the cheap beer and some lawn chairs if we need them.
I'll make popcorn.
Funny how some folks just seem to be begging for this to be fired in their direction ...
