Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x05 - "Stardust City Rag"

[fireproof78]

Normally I prefer video games but i juts have no desire to play anything but STO right now. I am the opposite i like watching teh sad stuff when im happy

I do get it, believe me. But, I also truly don't think Picard or DSC is for you right now.

I would suggest finding some things to enjoy to battle the darkness.

 

[Nerys Myk]

There was though, quite a discussion about the three actors that portrayed young Spock and how much they did or didn't look apropos.

Albeit the discussions took place at Trek Conventions and in Trek Magazines since The Internet was still a wasy off back then.

I have to admit that casting younger/older versions of a character that don't match tends to bug me. I still cant believe Levar Burton grew up to be John Amos.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Yup. Comfort food is generally familiar. Picard is not that.

Yes, it's funny what we choose. DS9 is still my comfort food, and not necessarily because I am watching the lighter, frothier episodes.

One of the reasons I like both Discovery and Picard is that because of its newness, I can experience them along with my son. We can watch them together, critiquing and discussing the episode on more even ground. I don't find them to be "dystopian" or "grittier"--I think they are less so than DS9. They also have a good degree more adventure, which actual helps to balance them out.

I'm not in the best place in my life right now and I'm not in the mood for dark and gritty. Maybe years later...I will re-evaluate this show. Star Trek is my comfort show. ... DSC and PIC (are) just not for me right now.

Understood.

I'm a STO Lifer since day one, but They burned me bad when They put the T6 Classic Enterprise in a lockbox ... the one ship I had been waiting over FIVE years to get.

I mostly lost interest at that point and only occasionally drop in to see what's going on.

Though I am going to be real I dont like completely serialized TV really at all. i prefer Episodic TV shows with season arcs, so i watch a lot of boomer shows

I recommend MASH, NCIS, or Dharma and Greg

Thats why i dont PVP, I mostly like the RPG Trek Fansrevice and not the MMO, and I got into the game to late for me to confedntly spend anything

At the very least, the episode should have had Ferengi working at the casino and latinum visible in plain sight.

I suspect that Earth and maybe the entire Federations economic principles have completely collapsed. A weird barter/better yourself system only works as long as everyone goes along with it and the Feds have leverage over those who don't.

And who better to swoop in and profit then the Ferengai? Like natives in a small tribe discovering oil (I'M native I can use the analogy) they're ALL rich now.

Is it good for that? PVP is not for me.

I used to NCIS ervy Tuesday night with my mom those were more stable happy times

If you like star trek yes its a Star Trek Fan's dream game and its Free with free update, though PVP is basicly pay to win PVE is were its at

My wife and I still binge through NCIS from Season 1 on. We also picked up MASH over the years so we do that. Dharma and Greg is a fun sitcom that's on YouTube since it only got a Season 1 DVD release.

Heck, yes

 

[DaveyNY]

No, never was.

I tried it early on and found that PvP was defiantly NOT my cup-o-tea.

There is more than enough PvE at this point though to keep one busy for a long time.

I mean more Trek nerding out moments and RPG elements

My son watches MASH a fair amount. I don't know how many times I've heard Harry Morgan yell, "Bug out!"

 

[DaveyNY]

heh ... I've begun to go through old TV shows I saw as a kid as well.

Right now I'm on a Binge-Watch of "THAT GIRL" on Amazon Prime.
Also looking for episodes of "Nanny & the Professor" as well as "The Flying Nun".

 

[JLBTucker]

I am Glad they gave Seven a better uniform that really took me out of Voyager with all eye rolling i did

Harry Morgan is the best. Him and Nimoy and Tolkien are my more artistic inspirations.

It could only improve.

That Girl is on Amazon Prime? Thanks for letting us know about this.

I used to watch that when I was a kid (in the '80s on syndication, not the '60s, for newbies to the forum/board).
