Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

With all the sloppy plotting, jumbled themes, grating melodrama, and end-of-the-multiverse armageddon arcs of All Access Trek, I hardly think the swearing, vaping, or awkwardly contemporary slang in these shows manage to crack the Top 50 of biggest flaws. I mean, they could say "fuck a duck" till the cows come home and I would be OK with it, as long as the storytelling of Secret Hideout didn't seem to come from the Rise of Skywalker School of Screenwriting Excellence.
 
Also, I think using the word "Fuck" as an expletive is very different to using it as a term for sex. The latter, obviously, makes you think of the act. It sometimes, but not always, is used to make the act of sex look like something degrading or filthy. Other times, it is just rude term for having sex. The expletive, otoh, does not invoke the image of sex (for me, ymmv). While rude, it is simply that... a rude expletive.

CBS Television was planning to move the production of Star Trek: Picard season 2 to Ontario. Season 1 was filmed in Los Angeles. That decision would have taken the production of Picard out of the United States, which is currently being ravaged by the Coronavirus.

It looks like they changed their minds are sticking to the US.

If they hadn't changed their minds and did actually move Picard to Ontario, CBS would've made the production of Picard's second and third season entirely studio-based.

Interesting. Where did you read this?
 
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. I see no reason to trust any rumor on the Internet. "Sources" is not a convincing argument.

Wasn't trying to convince you. I'm sorry but I wasn't even replying to you originally?
 
Oh, yeah - you're the guy making excuses about the Orville cancellation rumor.

I guess the real news sites were supposed to jump in and do the work to confirm, and...crickets. That kinda sucks.

Out of curiosity, what's the biggest confirmed story you've been the first to break this year?

Not sure about the biggest, but you'll like this one.

Last year I ran a scoop on another site about Hulu's Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy show. This article contained lots of new details. One of them was that a director named Morten Tyldum was set to direct in the show. A few days after this article went up, I got an email from the showrunner's PR department saying I was wrong.

A few days ago when I published the The Orville article, I published another article saying that Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy has been renewed for a second season. When I did that, our editor-in-chief posted about this scoop on our Instagram page. Morten Tyldum liked the post.

Not only did he confirm that he is directing Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, he also confirmed that the show has been renewed for a second season. All this Hitchhiker's Guide information comes from the source who told me about The Orville, by the way.
 
Not sure how I can edit my posts here but my point is: give me a chance. Don't believe officials when it comes to stuff like this. Most of them don't know and the rest have exactly zero reasons to tell us the truth.
 
You'll get an edit button after a certain amount of posts (or is it time?)

Liking a post isn't confirmation.
