Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

Seems to be. I like it better than PCD. But if they call a Pike Series Star Trek: Pike, I'm not bothering with an abbreviation. I'm calling it PIKE, no matter what everyone else does.

but...but...abbreviation conventions DICTATE a three letter only abbreviation! Think about Gene's Vision, you monster!!!!

Hey. My username is based off a character from the third season. Draw your own conclusions.

All of them are part of Star Trek since the 60s

Kurtzman, is that you?

and here I thought all the time you're named after Garth Algar from Wayne's World

Run out of witty remarks have we? Resorting to name calling. Tisk tisk. How the mighty have fallen.

Mind you it was like a one foot fall, but still.

I thought it was because LORD DARTH was already taken.

Yes, that's why I spend my weekend on a messageboard dedicated to a franchise I obviously hate.

So far, the episodes in ranked order of goodness (not necessarily enjoyment) Best to worst:

Episode 4
Episode 1
Episode 3
Episode 2
Episode 5

So really, all over the map. No great consistency yet.

I'm tinkin' they may no longer wish to continue to drown in De Nile.

There may be action, brainless action that is (skinhead Romulans with motorcycle helmets that aim worse than Stormtroopers launching their silly attacks), but there is zero social commentary. Where do you see any relevant social commentary? Potentially, yes. That's all it is - potentially. Sounds (and looks) like 0% Trek to me.

You don't see any social commentary in a story about fears surrounding one social minority displaced onto a second who are fleeing a disaster and declined help they had been promised to placate member states who were threatening secession?

During Brexit?

Re watch TOS and tell me how cerebral it really is without reference to the legacy which came after.

Being "all over the map" IS kinda consistent with first seasons of Trek shows in general tho, I'd say.

No kidding. I recently watched first four episodes of TOS. There's a submarine story, a monster story and a weird virus story.

that's three stories in four episodes. I agree, that's pretty uneven.

I'll admit. I forgot one. I was heavily medicated at the time.

Stupid nyquil.

Profanities, alcoholism, smoking, drug use, to name just a few. The list is long. Those are 21st century issues, styles, characters, behaviors, and scenarios depicted as the 24th/25th Star Trek. Those hacks are trying to sell us something that is not. They should be candid and say, yes "this is the Jar Jar universe" from the reboot movies. It's another reboot/revision/reimagination of the known Trek universe. That would be fair. But they are fooling the audience.

Just to be clear, your impression of Trek was that these things had been erased from the entire universe? That human nature had been so fundamentally modified that the drives which produce these things no longer existed?

How did you square this belief with, just to name one example, Tasha Yar's background story?
