Oh that's cool. I just thought they used the SNW prop, but now it's obvious.
Yeah, don't tell them about the wonderfully lethal properties of gases they could transform into that could be inhaled...
Well, if Odo could be an aurora...
Me want!!!
Yeah. It's fine. There wasn't much more they could do with Troi.
They didn't know what to do with her during S1. She was literally standing on a soap box and talking down to Picard about his privilege.
Could you blame her? Everybody else gets these meaty and challenging evolutions to their characters or gets to re-explore the core relationships in the cast.
She... gets to be a whiny mom stereotype in a flashback, have about 3 lines in a message with Will and then a damsel in distress.
Picard S3 has done Troi DIRTY, so far. Like worse than the TNG films dirty. Unless something changes in the last few episodes, I don't see any reason she SHOULDN'T be unhappy, unless there was some scheduling issue that kept her from taking part.
It's complete disrespect.
I found an interview here she said she filmed two months or something around there. I know Matalas said she didn't get there to film in person till the 6th episode.
I saw another interview here she said she felt "cherished" this season but then other people have been saying in other appearances she's acting like she didn't have the best experience. I guess we'll find out soon enough, but I have thought it was odd she was nowhere in promo for the show and hasn't done any appearances or interviews for it. It could just be because of her living in the UK but who knows, especially since Brent Spiner couldn't be there in person for stuff and just zoomed in.
Matalas said the back five episodes of the season are about Troi (which is odd since she's appeared for about a minute), so it seems she has some good stuff in the last three episodes.
I'm betting they didn't even have Season 2, let alone 3, mapped out yet.
It's called retcon
That's what I meant.
Anyone know what the titles are for the final three episodes? Thanks in advance.
From memory, might be wrong:
Surrender, Must come to an end, The last generation
3x8: Jack Crusher, Pah-wraith
3x9: Neelix's Gamble
3x10: The Cerritos to the Rescue
The site I'm looking at has 3x8 as Surrender but nothing for the other episodes.
I will say that, even though I am very much enjoying this season of Picard, I miss there being a variety of tone shifts in a season of Star Trek. With only 10 episodes and a single story arc, there isn't any room for light-hearted diversion or side story. On DSC last season, we did at least get the side story with Tilly and those cadets to provide some respite from the grim nature of the season arc. That's kind of the thing with this season of Picard as well is that it has to remain grim due to the tight episode allotment and even tight time frame in-universe as well. SNW has accomplished this, as well as LD, although the latter series by its nature remains light-hearted.
