Oh noes, another boring YT video on
Picard Season 2 being "bad" (Dan: "I don't want to be a gate keeper..." but proceeds to be a
TNG gate keeper and obsess insanely over wobbly
Trek canon):
Great review.
Dan Murrell addresses almost all the major problems of Picard season 2.
From the smaller, more obvious problems, like:
"A very budget-friendly era of human history"
And that the writers don't know what "Ten Forward" is.
To the continuing problem that NuTrek writers (including the writers on Discovery) don't know what a starship refit is:
To the showrunner's "don't care" attitude:
"Does it make sense? I don't know." -Terry Matalas
And one of the big problems:
"It's storytelling through complication, miscommunication, and retroactive continuity. Three of the worst forms of storytelling."
I also like that he's taking apart Terry Matalas' nonsensical interviews and Tweets multiple times.
One thing Dan Murrell points out, something I had not really considered, is that Picard S2 contradicts the message of "The Bonding".
"The Bonding" was the first TNG episode written by Ronald D. Moore.
It reminds me of how "Star Trek Insurrection" contradicts "Journey's End".
"Journey's End" is coincidentally another episode written by Ronald D. Moore.
Dan Murrell is a true Star Trek fan with a deep understanding and knowledge of TNG. He previously worked for Screen Junkies and wrote the "Honest Trailers - Star Trek: The Next Generation".
He also has a weekly show where he analyses box office numbers. The show is called "Charts with Dan".
