I saw it as primarily mocking the cliched mimicry of others rather than mocking Shatner himself, though some degree of overlap is probably unavoidable.
Of course not. Only every third one. That’s just grammer.

I too thought he was portraying a Brannon Braga character. Maybe it was the hair.
or Grammer, if Frasier Crane is being anal.Grammar.
I agree. If Wesley was trolling anyone, it was people who have been saying his performance is nothing like Shatner. This was deliberately OTT.I saw it as primarily mocking the cliched mimicry of others rather than mocking Shatner himself, though some degree of overlap is probably unavoidable.

Grammar.
Sorry, Mount's character doesn't sound anything like Roddenberry to me.
And he's a dead ringer for Isaac Asimov.

Asimov: Oh, absolutely.
I showed some Asimov pics to my kids. They nodded and said "Ah. Well, that seems obvious doesn't it?"
I was just wondering if anyone else agreed with the Mem Alpha post. I'm not seeing or hearing it at all.
It means perceiving reality inaccurately. I have my opinion about a tv show. It has nothing to do with "cognitive distortion". That was an insult. I don't have cognitive distortion. All I gave was my opinion on what I think the current creators are doing. You can absolutely disagree and leave it at that. Gosh. Sigh.
I honestly don’t know why he still bothers watching. I guess his hate watching must drive clicks or something.
After being around here for so long, one would think that maybe you'd be over that thin skin syndrome of yours by now.
You might want to consider taking your own advice.
It is afterall, just a TV show were talking about and the comments made really shouldn't be taken by anybody in any deep personal manner.
We don't live with each other, we just interact through a keyboard.
Though, if I lived in OK, I'd be at @Jayson1 's door everyday with a high-pressure hose.

Im just making comments about the show. Im not saying anything personal here about anyone. That wasn’t a nice thing to say.

I think it's a real show in-universe. The episode clips we saw largely have nothing to do with La'an's program, the credits especially.
No. It means emphasizing the negative in perception. Reality is full of negatives and those usually pop out. It's simply an observation and opinion of the "everything is bad in New Trek" idea I see around here.
I have reached my confusion threshold with people who keep watching a show though it brings them no enjoyment.
I won't beleaguer this point anymore suffice to say is I Iiked SNW at first. I didnt like how they completey changed the Enterprise but the stories were OK. Once they've gotten to the gimmick story telling such as the lower decks cross over, the musical, the trelane comedy, this holodeck episode etc. I have to say my piece. Its not good. I want strange new worlds and strange areas of deep space explored. We dont get 26 episodes a season only 10. I expect perfection at this point with so few episodes that have to be produced. Now we are going to get a puppet episode. These guys seem more enamored with the buffyverse than star trek.
My iPhone has been stuck on changing "sorry" to "dirty" for ages. I have NO IDEA why.
The Sensational She-Hulk #12 by Peter David by Ian McLean, on Flickr
"The Sensational She-Hulk" is making a feature film at Major Motion Pictures. Crashing through a wall, she interrupts William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Wil Wheaton making a crossover "Star Trek" movie!
On that topic, I was bored during my walk this morning, so I listened to a recent episode of Inglorious Treksperts on season 3’s first couple episodes that was mostly run by guests Gabrielle Stanton, Kay Reindl, & Zazie Sales. While it was fun to experience Mark Altman suffer while listening to people actually enjoying Star Trek in his presence, he did mention RMB is still watching SNW this season and probably seething with rage.
And honestly, that makes season 3 that much more enjoyable to know it makes RMB cry impotently into his TOS onesies.
There was definitely a GR quality to the way the words would go to a high pitch sometimes. I was looking away at one point and heard him deliver a line and that's when I realised. The suede jacket also looked exactly right on him, not that I necessarily associate GR with suede. (Aha, yes!)

I missed the Una-as-Lucy-analogue completely, until seeing it mentioned here. But YES!
I agree on too many gimmicks.
But, ten episodes is perfect and I can rewatch what I like and skip what I don't.
I just don't think that the show reflects anything poorly on the producers or their attitude on Star Trek.
Wrong, but thanks for playing. Here's a copy of our home game as a parting gift.
