Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x10 - "The Last Generation"

[Blackout]

Overall it was enjoyable except for how Picard defeated the Borg.

It don't take money, and it don't take fame. Don't need no credit card to ride this train!

The Borg are basically Trek's Daleks. They're popular, they're constantly defeated but they'll constantly be back. Sometimes it'll be just a few drones wreaking havoc, sometimes en masse, and other times with a desperate, dying leader trying to reclaim their species' glory days.

Personally I'm waiting on the multi-colored Paradigm Borg to make their debut.

There's something a lot more primal about the Borg than Daleks. I think the Daleks became popular because kids liked them, the Borg became popular because they gave people existential shivers.

Both suck.

 

[Quantum21]

Both suck.

Oh come on. Matalas used them twice. He's the King of all Star Trek dontcha know.

 

[cooleddie74]

Well, more the ceremonial Duke of Continuity-on-Time.

I'm still on the fence.

I know, I know, heretical.

What!? I thought we were all supposed to be lining up to suckle at the teat of Lord Terry?

The Borg are basically Trek's Daleks.

...Pardon?

He's supporting Prodigy. I'm now torn.

He's supporting Prodigy. I'm now torn.

I can respect that.

Is this in vogue to hate on Matalas on the forum?

Opinions vary. It's in vogue for each person to praise or critique him as they see fit.

 

[jaime]

...Pardon?

To be fair, the Daleks also now Nick humans to convert, have done since about 1984.
On the other hand, in about the same season, the Cybermen went back in time to change the events of first contact with Mondas. Which tries to autocorrect to Mondays, so ain’t that true.

 

[fireproof78]

Is this in vogue to hate on Matalas on the forum?

No, just the image of him as grand lord and savior of Trek. Which is tongue in cheek but I'm easily amused.

 

[JesterFace]

I haven't watched this episode, only clips of it but wasn't there a time when someone said 'Picard' series is not going to be a STNG reunion thing?
Well, yeah....

Yeah, that whole Patrick Stewart saying he didn't want to do a TNG reunion thing. For some reason we believed him!

It's in vogue to mock the pedestal that he's been placed on by certain members of the fandom community.

I'm sure he's a very nice man and clearly knows what he's doing. He is, however, not the second coming.

 

[cooleddie74]

Nope. He's good at what he does but he's not even Berman, Braga, Moore or Behr much less the next Roddenberry.

Exactly.

Nope. He's good at what he does but he's not even Berman, Braga, Moore or Behr much less the next Roddenberry.

Indeed and he does excellent work, communicates and interacts with the fan base and clearly has a lot of fun being both a fan and a producer. That makes him good at his job.

That's it.

 

[cooleddie74]

He's Rick McCallum or Dave Filoni, not the salvation of a franchise.
