    Yes, but in a good way.

    IIRC there is exactly one instance of nude female breasts in Star Trek, and they're in a rape scene. That is the fucked up part in the bad way. And of course in the usual Discovery manner they dropped the ball and did not explore the trauma involved properly.

    No, bad taste is pretty common.

    I didn't even notice them till I read about it here and that was after two viewings.

    I'm happy that you two got to this place on your own, because going through the previous few pages, I was ready to step in.

    For everyone: There's a lot of sniping going on, not limited to the two posters above. Let's cool down and remember to make it about the post, not the poster. I don't want to have to apply any thread bans or hand out warnings.

    On the subject of where this thread has been veering in general...while a certain amount of comparison between Picard and Discovery can be expected, given that they're contemporaneous productions in the same franchise, if it's going to become all about Discovery for pages and pages, then take it to the Discovery forum where it belongs.

    I see no problem with it. The efficacy of the scene will vary, but I fail to see the problem much less the childishness of the use.:shrug:

    I would say that Picard so far has explored similar themes as the film Mr. Holmes (the film that looked at Sherlock Holmes in his advanced old age), but not quite so well so far especially where it comes to nuance.

    If you really feel the need to ask, then perhaps you might want to take a gander at The Old Mixer's post above yours before continuing.

    I know the film you're referring to, but unfortunately I haven't seen it, so I really cannot comment.

    I would highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it, especially in light of what Picard is offering on its subject.

    Yeah, It seems like an interesting film and I really should see it. I love both Holmes and Sir Ian.

    He speaks a few lines of French to Minuette in "11001001" and says a French curse in "The Last Outpost."

    It's always an issue because premium cable and streaming don't have any actual standards. (OK, there's a joke that HBO shows are required to show a certain amount of boobies, but that isn't really a rule.)

    I'd find it a bit jarring if Picard went in for GoT-style sexposition, myself, but I don't think there's much danger of that.

    Not seeing the issue with either DSC or hypothetical Picard nudity. There is no indication of GoT type programming.

    It sounds like making a big deal out of nothing.

    Discovery Season 1 felt like they were just making shit up as they went along. The MU stuff was absolutely dire.

    To be fair, going to the MU was one of those things which we absolutely, positively, know was the intent of Bryan Fuller all along.

    Of course, we know that Lorca was not intended to be from the MU. I don't have a clue about the MU Georgiou stuff, but I'm presuming they invented all of that after the fact as well, because it seems like they added it because they fell in love with Michelle Yeoh and wanted an excuse to keep her on after killing her.
