The days of Trek podcasts are long behind me. Limited interactivity, often times disagree with them, and don't find it very enjoyable. My opinions don't move frequently.

When I agree with one of the people I watch I usually couldn't agree more strongly. When I don't it's night and day and bridging the difference isn't likely. But they entertain me so I stick around.
That’s correct. What he actually is is some asshole on the internet who, instead of bitching about Star Trek on a Star Trek internet bulletin board like the rest of us assholes do, bitches to Matalas’s Twitter account directly. Now, one could say that if Matalas didn’t want people bitching to him on his own personal Twitter account, he shouldn’t have made the Twitter account in the first place. But that’s like saying that if I didn’t want to go to work and make money, I shouldn’t have bought a car to get me to said workplace.
I watched that Trekyards video today too. I was mistaken. It's almost like a VOY variant that could have been the precursor to the FC uniform. I do like it. Except for the black striping in the V neck line.
Uncharismatic talking heads and ugly graphics are major turn offs for me.
I do what I've always done: Watch Star Trek and make up my own mind.
I watch some YouTubers talk about Star Trek or react to it, but it's really just comparing their take to my take. 99.999% of the time, I don't use someone else's stance to back up mine.
And unlike certain other people, I don't do the lazy thing and just coast off what someone else said and think that alone will do the work for me.

The kid who played Alexander in TNG was also darkened with makeup.
The trailer for the next episode has a flashback to the character as a kid running into Vulcans in a forest.
Aren't all TNG era Klingons?
Rowan J. Coleman is pretty good.
Agreed. His Star Trek Retrospective series was also great and informative to watch.
Looking forward to his Babylon 5 one.
Least they can do is get de Lancie's son for that.What if he's Junior all grown up
When I first started Battlestar Galactica, I thought Baltar was played by Siddig. But, after watching both shows, I can tell the difference between Siddig and Callis. I just take it as another example of the SNL sketch "Dylan McDermot or Dermot Mulroney?". They look similar and are easily confused at first glance.
Other examples:
Tobey Maguire/Jake Gyllenhaal
Jai Courtney/Sam Worthington
Hilary Swank/Jolene Blalock
Certainly, irrelevant.
The show provides the story, the rest is all up to the person watching. The opinions of random Youtubers are seldom more than sources for confirmation bias and imagined support for fragile egos needing validation for their own opinions.
Picard's managed to be enjoyable enough to spend time on each week. While not much more than that, it's better than spending time on the maundering nonsense spouted by Youtube critics.
I often don't go back and rewatch shows for a loooong time. Mainly because I have plenty of other things to do. It'll often be at least 10 years before I get back to rewatch something.
However, I did rewatch some of Discovery's 2nd season recently. Mainly because of the excitement for SNW. And, man, I was absolutely blown away. What a fantastic season. And the final 2-parter, I'd give a 10, which I very rarely give.
It also showed me how much Discovery has lost since its 2nd season and Picard feels flat. I knew that I liked the 2nd season when I watched it back then, but it was an eye-opening contrast.
For one second, then sputters into nothingness. It doesn't do anything and is completely pointlessGuinan's cat pose is back, at least.
I was really hoping to learn more about her being an imp and them social distance clawing at each other, but that is probably all we're getting.
Nitpicking unimportant details to a professional writer is trolling.
