Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

We're still waiting on the unreleased episode of ENT("The Interregnum").

 

It was not unreleased. I saw it.

 

Oh, yeah?

I own the Director's Cut complete with commentary.

 

Direct it? He WROTE it!

 

And played every part. Even in the sex scene.

 

First Thursday without a new Picard. How's everyone holding up?

 

I kinda miss it.

 

I'd probably be holding up better if not for this stupid... "situation" we're all dealing with... I was bored out of my mind, but now it's turned into utter lethargy. A new episode would've broken that up a bit.

 

I'll trade this stomach virus for everyone's boredom.

 

Time for an ENT episode rewatch. First up: "Shuttlepod One."

 

Always a good choice.

 

That's why I am a huge advocate for something screenwriter Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) calls Positive Moviegoing (which I extend to TV as well:

I try to always go in to new episodes or movies wanting to enjoy them, and accepting what they tell me for 20 minutes or so. I mean, the things we love from our youths fall apart if you look at them too closely: Back To The Future, a movie with a teenage boy befriended by a man in his 60s or 70s who goes back in time and almost screws his Mom. The world of Star Trek with its James R Kirks and whether or not they are a military or have money. So now I go in expecting and trying to enjoy something. Because at the end of the day, that's why I watch things: to enjoy them. It's not that I don't see the flaws that people point out, it's that I don't let them ruin the OTHER good things, I enjoy them ANYWAY. That's my rant, anyway.

 

I don't understand people who would hate-watch an entire TV series from start to finish, especially one in particular we had on this board for Enterprise. I suppose it's one thing to watch a 2-hour movie that you know is going to be bad and make fun of it, but 98 episodes?!?!?!?! Especially if you've already made up your mind that you're not going to like it before it even airs.

 

I was listening to the latest deadpool podcasts, which was a bit tedious because the host is getting on my nerves, but anyway, his guests are SPS and Goldsman. And I think that Goldsman bascially confirms that if all goes well, there will be 3 seasons of Picard. He talks about the ending of ep 10, about "putting our money where our heart is,", which could mean killing Picard. But that would have been pretty dumb wen they "had" him for three years... Interesting!

Stole it from Twitter

1. Picard runs a vineyard.
2. Picard needs a ship and crew.
3. Picard gets bad medical news.
4. Riker saves the day.

 

I tried watching 5th Avenue, its supposed to be a comedy and I would have been fine if the acting was bad or the script was rubbish as long as it actually made me laugh.

It never did so I dumped it after 3 episodes.
