Actors auditioning!!!! Stop the presses.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x10 - "The Last Generation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
And? Hugo Weaving, another actor famous for having played an elf with long, straight dark hair, has also played an omnicidal computer program dressed as a secret agent in a black suit, a Guy-Fawkes-mask-wearing anarchist vigilante, and a skinless Nazi supervillain.
Yeah but Elnor would be a natural for LOTR.
Alright. Intentionally late to the party. 
I anticipated overwhelming positivity for this from fans, and I'm happy it played out that way.
10/10 from me. The best Finale since "What You Leave Behind."
Everything that was set up, was payed off. This was the first competently-written serialized arc of the modern Trek era. There couldn't be a more perfect way to end off the TNG characters than this. All of them got their heroic moment to shine and the Poker scene would have made even the most cynical and jaded Trek fan smile.
Is there a future for the Terry-verse (as Producer Chris Monfette describes it) at Paramount? Currently unlikely, but I haven't seen Trek fans this united and passionate for a long, long time.
The fact that even these guys are promoting the hashtag is bloody shocking;
If it ends here, it's been a fantastic ride and a very satisfying goodbye to these iconic characters.
Objectively I'll give this season a 7.5 overall. This takes into account all the reviews I've seen. This isn't at the level of some of the best of TNG and DS9 seasons, with intellectual and philosophical exploration.
It is, however, the final TNG movie that audiences deserved to close that chapter. It does the characters justice in a way the TNG films never did.
This is the most competent of all the Nu Trek offerings, from a production and writing standpoint. So many moving parts with the serialized storytelling, very limited budgets (one million per episode), yet the showrunner was able to bring it all together for a satisfying conclusion.
It's very rewatchable, and I'd recommend that viewers give it a second watch. You'll notice so many clues and pieces of the puzzle set up from the beginning, along with many thematic elements about legacy and evolution that I found quite effective in building the bridge towards the next generation.

That one is a major accomplishment, and likely to even move the needle on the petition, which is now at 43,189. The one for SNW was only around 30,000.
Gotta get in an end-to-end re-watch before my P+ is up May 9th! Some episodes I'll be seeing for the fourth time.
That's awesome. It will be at 50K very soon at this pace.
I closed that thread as a few individuals got it off track. However the petition has gotten a lot of attention, from the production and cast, and in media coverage.
This, combined with social media reactions, and viewership is what Matalas meant by being 'loud' if you want Paramount to change course.
It's good to have a showrunner who has a pulse on the fanbase and knows how to deal with them. That's what Trek needs going forward, so hopefully #startreklegacy is successful.
I'll keep him in Star Trek. A good addition and missed in this season.
Nah. better fit with this group
I had a laugh earlier because Elnor was listed on TV Trope's Wuxia page.
He would do well beside Toba Jun.Nah. better fit with this group

IIRC, the initial outline of Star Wars was practically a reuse of a synopsis of Hidden Fortress with the character and location names switched for the space setting.

I don't see any pointed ears. Nope he would be out of place.
She might have tried to transfer into a new body at last second, since the unimatrix complex went kaputt.The Endgame queen only had a biological head and neck, no arms or much of a torso. The only queen with those was the Confederate timeline queen. So did this one absorb its drones to grow arms and a new half-finished ribcage?
But with the collective crippled she ended up with a deformed necrotic failure of a body.

Presumably the Borg Queen has tried to rebuild herself using both biological and technological components, and has only limited success with each. The last we see of her in VOY: "Endgame" is the latches holding her head in place fail... if she has difficulty maintaining a mostly artificial body it would explain why she starts to cannibalise the organic parts of drones to build a more biological form that is less likely to spontaneously fall apart on her. Given the distaste she shows for "flawed, weak, organic" beings in First Contact it shows how desperate she must have been that her form in PIC is now significantly more organic.
Show me one moment that the Enterprise moved liked that and I'll stand corrected. I have seriously no issue raising my hand and saying that I was wrong, but I don't remember the ship moving like that... ever. Shoulda woulda coulda doesn't concern me: this is science fiction and there's tropes involved that have been there for decades. Can't just abandon them because the plot demands it, irrespective of whether it's scientifically feasible in our world or not. It looked crazy and so divorced from the Trek I remember.
Do you have a source for that $ 1 million per episode budget? I saw RMB recently say no modern Trek show could be made with that budget because he said people were incorrectly attributing the $1 million per episode budget to him
It didn't move like that on screen because it was a physical model. It had to just stay still while being shot at and my head canon all along has been that it was moving around but the show just wasn't capable of showing it.
I have already mentioned one of those moments, but you've ignored it. I'm not convinced doing so again would elicit any further admission on your part.
I have no doubt that the ship can move that way, I am just not sure that Troi is that good of a pilot.
Data was piloting still. Troi just put the general area he needed to steer into the Nav computer.
Once there they could pinpoint the location with scanners
