Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

They seem to be the most balanced Trek review site on a YouTube. They actually go into detail with their criticisms. Others just seem to hate simply for clicks.

 

That's fair. There's no doubt they're Trekkies, so their opinions come from an honest place. The main draw is the technical stuff, so there's nothing motivating them to trash every episode or to worship all of them at the Altair.

 

Compared to a lot of the other youtube guys they are great. I do wonder sometimes how they can get a 1-2 hour video out of a 5-10 second shot in a trailer but they do. I'm a tech guy they get even into too much minutiae for me on the tech side. That is just personal preference.

I used to subscribe because even with the a bit too but minutiee (and I don't like people giving themselves ranks) they were interesting and I did learn stuff and like you said defended their opinions.

My main issue was simply when they started promoting alec peters. Unsubed then and haven't gone back. I dropped trek.fm for a while due tot that (but have picked them back up after they dropped Peters). I'm not sure if they still promote Peters anymore but if they don't I'd consider re-subing. Does anybody know if they currently do?

 

I haven’t been following the Peters stuff. I’m not into fan films.

 

Consider yourself lucky. I think his thread is at close to 2000 pages now.

 

At least the holograms are using LCARS. I just hope they don’t go overboard with them. Too many takes me out of the Star Trek feel for me.

 

I had to look up Alec Peters... and, oh, he's that guy.

I will say, I was tempted to change my username after the whole Axanar nonsense but then I decided, "No, I'm not going to change a username I've gone under since 1996 on account of something as ridiculous as this."

 

Love it. I get B7 vibes from the first shot.

 

Looks like a lounge.

I'm wondering if this is a prelude to Twin Gun Seven's viral shoot 'em up?

 

I see no reason to read or watch online reviews of Trek any more. Even SF Debris gets a pass from me now.

 

I see that Jean Luc has a Baguette and a Bottle of Wine in his net bag.

Obviously well prepared for the long haul.

 

They talked for several hours about a 6 min Short Trek, and confused windows and deflectors, but I generally like their ship discussions, and they seem to be very nice guys. Would like to get to know them better and just spend an evening talking about ships with them XD

 

Five Hours to go...

 

You won't watch Picard?

 

No comment...

 

If only I knew. Oh, my God. This is classic.

Six months later, here I am. Proof that not everything is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

No, probably not.

 

You should at least give it a try.

(And this is from someone who saw the first 3 episodes and wasn't even that crazy about it...)

 

It's about money at this point. Building a house ain't cheap.
