Spoilers Ready Room with Wil Wheaton

Just to reiterate, the set for this looks like total garbage. It looks like public access TV, ca 1983. Awful. I find it hard to watch.

They should have made the set actually look like a (stylized) ready room, fer fuck's sake.

They had a great one in After Trek and should just reuse it

Did anyone else notice how much Goldsman shat on Discovery in the interview?

He basically talked about how historically Trek was "many genres" (action, romance, comedy, etc), but they can't do that because of the serialized nature of the show. He describes Discovery as "Sci-fi action-adventure...a lot of things blowing up." and Picard as "Sci-fi drama...less things blowing up, more writing based."
That's accurate. Where do you read negativity here?

Wheeton needs to turn it down a notch.
Have you seen Matt Mira on After Trek, particularly the first episode? XD
 
Yay, the Facebook video app on my fire tv stick seems to work now. :techman:

Still a terrible app, but more convenient than pc or phone. During Disco series 2 it would never load.

Can't wait for next episode.
 
Yeah, I love it when interviewers interrupt the guests when they are speaking.

Nonsense. He's channeling the excitement for this show that all of us TNG fans who are in our late 40s+ have. Keep it coming!

Give it a rest. He's fine.

This is the only way I can read his name anymore thanks to Stewie. :lol:

Don't forget HWoopi Goldberg ("All the time!").

Dude's almost 50 years old, geeking out gushing over some old patch and talking like he just drank a crate of Monster and chased it with some amphetamines is a bit much to take.

Mmm, I don't know. I'm 40 (in 2 months), still love Star Trek and would gladly gush about it, I wear rainbow shoes, love unicorns, and if I could get away with a giant glittering fruit hat I would wear it. It also helps that I am the absolute peak of professionalism at all times.
 
Just watched the one for the first episode. I like Wheaton better then previous hosts for these post episode talk shows. I especially liked the segment on recording of the main theme, liked the theme better when I heard it here.

I love The Ready Room with Will Wheaton! His enthusiasm strikes me as a bit over the top but sincere, and the guests are really giving insightful interviews. It doesn't feel like some Entertainment Tonight P.R. time-killer like many of these after-shows do.
 
This sheds some interesting light on how they got Stewart on board. It sounds like Stewart rejected Kurtzman, Goldsman, and Beyer's draft, but came on board after reading a treatment written solely by Chabon. Am I interpreting that right?

Well, Michael Chabon has a Pulitzer, Nebula, Hugo and an O. Henry award. I'm sure his treatment was brilliant. Also, Picard so far has a very British feel to me considering what we've seen via BBC America over the past few years. Though Chabon is from Washington, D.C. it seems to me he was probably more outside the Hollywood box and had a more global perspective. I'm guessing.

He seems like he's just happy to be back working with the group of beloved people he used to work with, in a franchise he still loves. I think for most of us that would be a dream job.
 
Is Ready Room available on Amazon Prime? I'm subscribed to the CBSAA channel and can watch Picard but Ready Room is no where to be found.
