On a related note, I love how almost every scene he's in Ransom either has his foot propped on a ledge or chair or whatever, or he's flexing his muscles.
What DON’T you like about the show?

- Start date
The only problem I have is that it takes place during The Next Generation era, the era that I have zero interest in. Of course, that's the creator of the show's favorite era, so not much can be done about that.
If it took place during The Original Series era or the "present day"... era (or the "Picard-era" or whatever), then I would be good. I would love it, in fact. Strange, I know, but hey...
Anyway, as it stands now I just accept it as something Star Trek to watch until Discovery season 3.
Hopefully Prodigy is set during the "present day." I can't see why that wouldn't be.

Reminds me of a boss I had when I worked in bank operations. Everyone called him "Captain America".
you worked for Captain America? Bucky?Reminds me of a boss I had when I worked in bank operations. Everyone called him "Captain America".
I must keep an eye out for the Riker Maneuver next time he sits.down
I don't think having it take place during the TOS Era or the Picard Era would've changed anything about the show.
In the TOS Era: switch the holodeck to the rec deck, make the Klingon in the second episode a defector, make the Ferengi in that same episode a sleazy generic alien merchant, and you're golden.
I'm appalled by the fact that the crew appears to be living in a converted Pullman car. No wonder they don't get much done.
Oh, yeah, putting it in the The Original Series era wouldn't change anything about the show. I would have just preferred it in the era because I just like the uniforms and stuff like that better. And that's really the long and the short of it.
The long of it though is that I've found over the last year or so I've developed an outright animosity toward The Next Generation era. It's silly that I feel that way, but I do, and Picard started it.
I remember back in 2006 and the 40th anniversary and you know the "big" push for all things The Original Series, and I remember thinking "thank god it's back and The Next Generation is finally done." Then a couple years later the build up for Star Trek '09, so again, Original Series but, you know, new. Then Discovery. Of course, putting Discovery in the Prime Timeline almost killed it for me, because it was like "why didn't they just put this in the Kelvin Timeline, what the hell are they doing?" I assumed it was rights issues between Paramount and CBS or something, who knows.
Either way, I just had to start having a head canon again and ignoring the stuff that I didn't like and liking the stuff that I did. An annoyance, yeah, but I didn't really have much of a choice.
If they had just put Discovery in the Kelvin Timeline then I would be in heaven to this day. I wouldn't have had to go back to the head canon, I would have the Star Trek that I liked and the people who liked the older Star Trek could have theirs and everyone's happy. Of course, it would never have been like that in reality, but, y'know... in theory that would have been the case.
So, Picard...
When they announced Picard I know a lot of people were happy, I on the other hand was like, "Oh god, no, when will this Next Generation sh*t just die?" It went from something that I could just ignore because I had plenty of Star Trek that I liked, to being right back in the forefront again and it just pissed me off to no end. Because I wanted the CBS All Access Star Trek to be it's own thing, no Next Generation nothing. Leave that back in the 90s... just leave it, move on. It's done, it's dead, leave it. Please.
I hate having to ignore stuff, it's tiring, and here I am having to ignore stuff again.
That said, Lower Decks of course, again, I think is fine. The novelty of it has worn off to me though, so... and couple that with the Next Generation-ness of it. If I'm bored out of my mind I might watch it this week, but I don't know. And yes, it's gotten to that point already. I wish that Disney+'s The Right Stuff was starting September 9th instead of October 9th because that would have been right on time. It might have to do another rewatch of For All Mankind until Discovery...
The struggle is real...
As an aside: hopefully season 2 of Picard will finally and truly close the door on all things Next Generation.
Then again, don't Riker and Deanna Troi have a daughter or something in Picard? Hopefully they don't get any ideas about making a series about her... that would be like, "Oh, god, kill me now, because this is never going to end."
Not rights stuff just the era they wanted to tell the tale in. Unfortunately, BTS drama made it a bit uneven.
Actually, it had more to do with at the time Disco was being developed, Bryan Fuller believed there would continue being Kelvin timeline movies for the foreseeable future and didn't want to have to coordinate the show around movies, so he chose not to make the show Kelvin timeline. Then the story he wanted to tell prompted him to choose Prime Universe specifically over a new timeline, then things get muddled because of BTS horseshit.
What is BTS?
"Behind the Scenes"
Ah, thank you.
Yep.
As I understand it, the Kelvin and Prime timeline split is due to the split at CBS and Paramount.
Kelvin allowed them to do movies for a new audience and the people who watch Star Trek on TV are intimately familiar with the minutia anyway.

That it's canon.
It's hard to imagine that this ship with such antics actually exists when watching the other series, however funny it be on it's own.

Canon-shmanon.
Serious war went on all around the 4077th in MASH. Antics were still abound.
