Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x08 - "Mercy"

So, poorly. Got it.

 

That's why it caught me off-guard, they weren't even on the ship! And then *BOOM* I'm hearing Berman in my head going "make sure you're at an angle where Jolene's nipples are visible"

 

I always used to think Jack would turn out to be Jackson Roykirk (inventor of Nomad) but since Roykirk was apparently born in 1945, that'd make him only 12 years old when "Carbon Creek" took place. So it looks like that won't work.

 

How old was he? Been a while

 

I don't think it was said explicitly but he's graduated high school and trying to apply to college so 17-18? Maybe 16? Definitely not 12 though.

 

Hmm....

That’s what we’ve been discussing most of the last 2 pages

This is what I love about this fanbase.

Completely dismiss a fun fan theory (even one's own) because a few dates only mentioned in passing are off by a few years.

 

We don't do fun here.

*insert Tommy Lee Jones face*

 

Sorry, I just got here.

 

It's just as I said. You can keep deluding yourselves into thinking this show is successful but the data speaks for itself.

 

"Please pack your mek'leths and go."

 

Those bars are clearly not to scale, but I get where you're coming from.

 

Good thing there's only gonna be 3 seasons, huh?

 

I’m really looking forward to this and worried for the season at the same time. I really hope I like this one.

 

It had the chance to run for 1,378,912 seasons but it blew it.

 

We're getting into endgame for the season; the pace has to pick up soon.

 

They pretty much did the same thing with Season 1. The series wrapped up rather quickly in episodes 9 and (mostly) 10.

 

It's not the pace, it's figuring out where it's going. How do the Soongs and Picard's ancestor connect and how does that lead to whether or not we get the Federation or Confederation?

They've done a ton of twists and turns, but we should've known general track they're heading down and how things connect by now. I hope they lay it out in Episode 8 and then Episodes 9 and 10 are actually doing it.

I don't know. If I'm the one who's criticizing this of all people, that's not good.
