Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

Unlike the "Tru-Fan"* club which has an entrance exam plus yearly dues.



*Trademark pending.
And don't forget the mandatory monthly Pledge of Allegiance to Matalas-Sama, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

I think part of the problem was that Alley wasn’t playing a full Vulcan. She was supposed to be half-Romulan, and I think Meyer directed her that way.
Her on-set performance is very Vulcan... but badly - on the robotic side. The extensive re-recording of nearly her entire performance throughout the movie gives us the Saavik we have today which is oddly more emotional and fits with the half-Romulan she was written to be.

Brian Brophy vs. Robau. Who wins?
I once had the two of them team up to fight Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris stared off the cliff edge at sunset when he felt a presence behind him. "I always knew this day would come," he said. Norris then turned and saw Captain Robau standing there. "Indeed, he's been anticipating it for a while now," Robau responded. "He?" Chuck Norris asked, confused. Captain Robau then stepped aside revealing a shadowy figure behind him who then stepped forward revealing himself to be Brian Brophy. "Shit," Chuck Norris said, worriedly. After several tense moments of the two power figures staring at each other silently, ominously, Brian Brophy finally yawned and quite casually and tiredly said "boo." Chuck Norris immediately pissed his pants.
It was a sequel/reinterpretation of this post I posted in the old Captain Robau thread back in the day in the Trek XI forum (now known as the Kelvin Universe forum).
 
...For all the talk of cults, the only one here seems to be dedicated to astroturfing opposition to continuing the NuTrek project that appealed to the broadest portion of the fanbase and even managed to break into mainstream attention...

What's Strange New Worlds got to do with Legacy

(SNW has been on Nielsen's streaming top 10 list more than Picard S3 FYI.)

There was a whole comment thread about this a few months back over on Trekmovie. I gave it 15 minutes and couldn't find it again, but the gist of it was that when PS3 was airing, it was up against much more formidable competition than SNW S2. To even place in the Top 10 for streaming minutes those weeks, you'd have needed to get north of 400 million watch minutes. So if SNW had aired in Jan / Feb / March of 2023, even with the watch minutes it received in the summer, several of its episodes wouldn't have placed in the rankings.

Oh please. It's not like you have to choose one thing over the other. Streaming isn't Network television. People who want to watch something are going to watch it if it's available on streaming.

But the thing is though, if you're Paramount, would you rather have a show that ranked #7 one week with 285 million watch minutes, or a show that didn't place in the top 10 that week but had say 390 million watch minutes?

And, YouTube content has watch counts as well, and certain seasons / series have much higher viewership of specific episode recaps. So directions of travel can at least be inferred.
