I was referring to the Stargazer specifically – Picard is not her captain.

Oh I see.
I watch Merlin which is fantasy and even that has internal consistency. For instance Gaius explains a potion how it works ,the amount and the ingredients. He does not suddenly pull it out of his ass and gives it willy nilly without a plausible explanation.
Star Trek is supposed to have internal scientific techno babble consistency. It is Science fiction not SCENE fiction.
I was so excited for the first 2 episodes but now I am terrifically disappointed.
Just watch Merlin and see how a story should be told.
Don't care any more, man. Star Trek hasn't done that for a long time. Picard strikes me like all other Trek; good in some places, poor in others. It's as consistent as it has ever been. YATI didn't get pulled out of a fan's ass either. It came from Trek repeatedly being inconsistent.
It's OK to not like a show just because. It's also OK to like a show and see the inconsistencies. Picard strikes me as Trek. And supposedly bad Trek is better than no Trek. So I've heard.
I don't know Merlin and I don't care. Arthurian legend is about as interesting as tax code. The story can be brilliantly told and if I don't care about the characters it does nothing for me. So, I'll give a hard pass on how a story "should be told."
well, in fact he isn’t: this is his *third* body. Not that anyone in the android brigade will remember this.
What's the third? Honestly, don't remember. Didn't make it all the way through TNG.
The Trekverse works in a cartesian dualist manner, even if the real world does not. Minds have been repeatedly shown to be independent of bodies and able to be transferred around, going all the way back to TOS.
Merlin is really good and the characters are likable charming and someone you can identify with. The women look like women and are attractive and strong without being woke.
The Men are Men without being effeminate and woke. The writers know to write each episode with an over reaching story arc.
I urge everyone to watch it on free iplayer and you will surprised at how good the STORY TELLING is.
Don't care because attractiveness is not my measure of a character. I hate that, actually.
So, not men like me. So, don't care.
The story won't furnish my interest in characters.
his first body is destroyed in Lonely Among Us, in TNG season 1, his consciousness is reintegrated in a transporter copy, which we watched the adventures of for the next decades. The third body is the synth one. Well, in fact this season we’re seeing him in his fourth body, as he’s inhabiting the synth body originally belonging to general Picard. Jean-luc is a dedicated body-hopper for sure!
pretty much. Synth Picard is no different.
Good thing that isn’t happening here
Oh, OK. I hadn't thought of it like that. Excellent point.
Yeah, didn't care for Picard after Lonely Among Us.
ouch ouch ouch.
Apparently a key ingredient for what consists of epic story telling.
These main characters are not nearly attractive enough! What is the world coming too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?Apparently a key ingredient for what consists of epic story telling.
Humans are so shallow. Ridiculous.
You’re sexist and bigoted.
Arguing against so-called "shallow" plotlines by arguing in favor of shallow looks is.... just shallow.These main characters are not nearly attractive enough! What is the world coming too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Humans are so shallow. Ridiculous.
It is though. If I say I dislike the new Ferengi look in Disco or explain why I feel that series has lost me I’m told to stop watching.
If I say how bad an episode Monsters was people come at me with the “trolling” nonsense.
Well, if I say that it's because people having fun with a show is my number one goal. If a series lost me (many have) I don't find enjoyment in it anymore. I guess that's me being an ass for assuming your reaction is the same.
No one has done that because only dislike the new Ferengi.
