Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

[DaveyNY]

I'm looking forward to episode 10 just because it'll finally be over.

That's going to be devastating for you, you'll have nothing more to bitch about.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

When it comes to Star Trek there’s always something.

I'm looking forward to not reading posts about how bad Episode 10 is going to be.

Matalas: "I'm not the Messiah!"
Fan 1: "I say you are, Terry, and I should know, I've followed a few!"
Fandom: "Hail, Messiah!"
Matalas: "I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I'm not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly?"
Fan 2: "Only the true Messiah denies his divinity!"
Matalas: "What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right, I am the Messiah!"
Fandom: "He is! He is the Messiah!"

Continued...

Fan 1: Oh look, what is that?

Matalas: What? The Borgified Changeling Tribble prop from the Daystrom Annex scene?

Fan 2: And what about that?

Matalas: What? The unused Toupee piece we were going to use to show Jack was as bald as his father, Picard? We dropped that story point from the script.

Fan 1: Follow the Holy Borgified Changeling Tribble!

Fan 2: NO! Follow the Holy Toupee!

Slightly Disgruntled Fan: Hey what about the sloppy plotting and really disjointed story elements in PICARD Season 2? He's not so great...

Fan 1 & 2 (In Unison): KILL THE HERETIC!

It’s gonna suck, bro. I know without seeing it.

 

[Rusty0918]

While we fans can get a little too obsessive, and I'm guilty of this in some areas, I'm not one who thinks Mr. Matalas is a deity.

I predict a nurse shark brings a candle with a shark ghost in it to the final battle and we all have to watch hot shark-on-ghost-shark action. Truly it is Gene's Vision.

I posted this in the ep 10 thread but it's probably more relevant to this thread so forgive me for repeating but...


Guys. How the fuck did this happen?!? Season 3 is thee best Trek in decades. It's just plan amazing from start to finish. Wtf is going on. New writers?!??? Someone fill me in cuz they lost me in s1 post synth body Picard and I completely skipped season 2. But I was blown the fuck away by this season. It's literally peak Trek IMHO. I haven't watched Trek this great since I got into Deep Space 9 when I was addicted to oxycontin out of high-school (don't worry, been sober for forever now minus the occasional joint).

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Gene’s vision = money and hot women

 

[fireproof78]

New writers?!??

Nope. Matalas just had the story in mind for years and got to send it off after working on Season 2.

To boldly go.

 

[Lord Garth]

it's not like we're paying by the letter anyway. I'm sure in the early days TrekBBS was operated by telegraph and they had to pay a grumpy mechanic to turn the gears and cylinders every time someone hit reply, but we're almost two months more advanced than that, now.

True story. I was there.

In fact, threads didn't have multiple pages and they were closed after 100 posts. Anything more than 100 posts and a thread would take too long to load onto some computers. We had no Private Messages. No avatars. We had no Lounges at first. No TNZ at first either. Only four Star Trek series. The list goes on...

Damn. You love to see it..

The Good Old Days when Trek fans were actually appreciative of whatever shows/movies we got.

It took awhile to chisel that many posts into stone tablets.

 

[KennyB]

I mean I am loving this season however, Terry has the dream team to work with…….

 

[bob saget]

So completely creatively bankrupt that they couldn't come up with a single new scene, image, or idea.

It's just a worse version of crap they already made. Might as well watch re-runs.

ahaha WHAT story? How could he have anything in mind when it's literally just repeats/callbacks only implemented less competently.

In fact, you can actually do that right now.

As long as we get more John de Lancie, I don't really care how recycled things are.
