Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

[TommyR01D]

Is anyone else starting to get worried that Sir Patrick might come down with COVID-19?

Or, more broadly - are they going to halt production of new Star Trek for awhile until all of this blows over?

I'm concerned that at the time of his new series, Stewart is losing his position as the UK's most famous Sir Patrick.

I like the idea of malevolent Reaper type AIs, but as the Husnock found out, the evil AI beings could attract the attention of god like beings that could snap them out of existence, even if the look many steps up the foodchain above the Husnock....

Chabon got lots of cool ideas, but this show in parts feels a bit odd and out of place (like The Motion Picture).

Does anyone else think that Jeri Ryan looks rather like Billie Piper now?

@Vger23 This is great. The one that I like that isn't here is, "Hire real writers!" I don't know how you get more real writer than Chabon.

Some people miss Star Trek of the '90s. I miss the Internet of the '90s.

It’s missing a square about people complaining about the complainers.

there is plenty of it though.

Separation of degrees. One is about keeping track of complaining about the show. The other is about keeping track of complaining about complaining about the show. A slightly different animal and a slippery slope.

BTW, if Star Trek has to have a "Rick Berman", then I'm glad it's Alex Kurtzman.

Same here.

So apparently the FNN didn't exist (In canon, it exists in beta canon) before Picard. FNN is mentioned in the TNG Companion as appearing in Generations, but none of the people there, their costumes or equipment say FNN

Clearly the news people in Generations were working for FNN's rivals: MSUFP.

MGM Sony Universal Fox Paramount?

You're probably right. The only way they can compete with Disney.

InterstellarWars?

The Federation is putting chemicals in the replicators that turn Saurians into mammals.

So long as they stay away from the brandy.

 

[cooleddie74]

Forget the brandy. Try Caveman by Riker. Pure protein. Made from bone broth harvested from a sentient bird species.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Dude, that's fowl.

For a long time I've noticed a phenomenon in comment sections and on forums (covering a wide range of interest topics, demographics and political orientations) whereby complaints about people complaining about the subject - and indeed mockery of those who might be about to complain - are more prevalent and more obnoxious than complaints in the original direction.

Of course having mentioned this I've now created a third layer and I'm sure that will attract many complaints in itself.
