Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x04 - "No Win Scenario"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
You mean the children watching an a 90 plus year old man and a 20 something drinking Jack Daniels whiskey?
Sounds like backstage at a Rolling Stones concert.
I really hope worf gets his own show. He better not die.
It's easy to get into a bar that serves synthehol.
Swearing? Drugs!? People looking much older than they really are!? PEOPLE IN PUBS BEFORE THE AGE OF 21!?!?!
Sounds like Ireland would be your vision of hell...
(Seriously though, not everyone has the same minimum drinking age as the US in the early 21st century.)
YEAH! OR ELSE!
Don't ask me "Or else what?" 'cause I haven't gotten that far in the planning yet...
Those few Irish holodeck episodes must have been hard...Swearing? Drugs!? People looking much older than they really are!? PEOPLE IN PUBS BEFORE THE AGE OF 21!?!?!
Sounds like Ireland would be your vision of hell...

Hard to watch at least.

Nonsensical? A bit.
This season leans super heavy on the melodrama. If that's what you're looking for, melodramatic moments between these larger-than-life characters, then season 3 is certainly going to top the charts, and that's perfectly fine.
For me, though S3 Picard is doing what S1 Discovery did, and since I didn't really enjoy S1 Discovery, it's not going to have as much a positive effect on me. It also means where people have invested so much into these people and their history, minor and even major quibbles are going to be ignored for the bigger picture while folks like myself who are unsatisfied with how it's unfolding will notice them and it will degrade our enjoyment. It's just the way attention spans work.
Offensive? Not at all. For me, it's just going in a different direction than I'd hoped. That's not the writers' fault. They can't please everyone, nor should they even try. I'm still along for the ride because I will hope for really good moments and I want to see the resolution of these characters I've loved for most of my life.
What a week to be at a concert in a zoo when the episode drops Down Under! My phone went crazy in the afternoon, with intriguing little "What the -?" messages and alerts, and then my phone battery faded out. Great concert, though.

Finally got to see the episode after midnight! And wow! I am in Blue Heaven, I think. And Jack tells an Andorian anecdote while I hang between him and Picard.
I guess I can say that I have shared scenes with Sir Patrick Stewart and Ed Speleers, and my cosplay outfits are now "screen-used". Even the cardboard phaser from James Razzi's "Star Trek Action Toy Book" is now canon!

I didn't mention this specifically the other day and forgot, but: "Starfleet is the only family I ever needed!" I love how two-sided that scene was. On one end, it looks like a feel-good scene, on the other... Ouch!
Amazing, how every new episode is better than the last
"It's off the scale, Sir"
I mostly only voted this a 9 instead of a 10 because I'm presuming that better episodes are still coming down the pike, and I want to reserve my 10s for The Visitor level stuff.
I had exactly the same mindset.
So is Vadic a complete changling? or she just has changeling goo for a hand? or are we supposed to not be certain?
speaking of this, I can’t quite pinpoint the episode now, but I’m almost sure I remember the Doc vanishing when Voyager lost power.
I'm sad now. I thought he said Talos IV...
