Still hilarious that Picard's family died in a loving fire. On a planet that is the center of the loving empire. With thousands of ships and satellites in orbit at any time. Where you can teleport anywhere on the surface in moments In an age where you can detect a fart a million miles away. And not one detected a house burning down. RIP Angry Picard and Picard Jr.

I still have no idea what the gently caress Michael Burnham was supposed to have learned from that entire loving war. Like if she went back in time knowing what she knows about Klingons and about how the war would go, and if Captain Georgiou was willing to accept any advice given, what the gently caress are they supposed to do to not get sucked into a war that they're going to eventually lose?

Don't fly in and investigate the ship. Or maybe not land on it. Or I guess if she had to land on the ship still, just get stabbed and die. During the initial encounter, make sure the beacon doesn't go off. I dunno. Honestly, STD had basically one star trek episode and a bunch of grim dark Jack Bauer bullshit.

So yeah, I have no problem assuming he was some turbo-luddite who refused to have any kind of firefighting or alert technology in his home.

Elukka posted:I bet people like this live off the grid. There'd be an all-encompassing surveillance and safety system (but purely opt-in and entirely for your benefit because it's Star Trek and not the current cyberpunk reality) that would basically make it very difficult to get injured or die. I could however see how that could make life not seem quite real, with something constantly watching over your shoulder to catch you if you fall, and space hipsters would of course have none of it, and the Federation would let them live like they want. Even funnier, some ensign on earth defense duty sees the blip of an unusual energy signature, checks to see if its phaser fire or a loving bomb going off. But its a fire. Then cross references if the people have 'paid' their Starfleet dues by agreeing to be monitored, sees that an old man and a kid are not on the list, shrugs and then goes back to playing World of Bajorancraft. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jun 25, 2018 |

It would be pretty ironic if Picard requested a report of the incident and like 900 different sensor arrays and ships picked up the fire but Federation Law prevented them from interference.

Q shows up, the continuum decided that for their species to grow, they must grow old. Q complains, and asks Picard to appeal for him. After careful arbitration, Picard rules in favour of the Q, and not with Q.

Or they are always going round to the Picard Wine Lodge because they're the only place that insists on burning their rubbish on bonfires, rather than using a backwards replicator recycling machine. The first five times they mistakenly thought it was a disaster but Old Man Picard just kept ignoring them. Now they just don't respond to fires in that part of France.

Even a Picard show would be a failure, at this point, it's tainted now. With Discovery and the JJverse they basically said we don't care about what fans find important, it's our franchise. And now the IP owners are prostrate and bootlicking after failing in recent every attempt to serve starving nerds their slop, who will just refactor and decide BSG was superior all along.

No offense but have you seen fandom in The Year of God Emperor Trump 2? You try to do something new they bitch and whine. You give 'em exactly the same poo poo as before only with a few more ladies and black folks and they grunt and scream and throw their poo poo at you. And if you try and do something new while also including more ladies and black people they turn around bend over and start spraying diarrhea at you. What point is there in trying to please the fans?

I wonder how the Orville pulled it off? It's a purposeful rip off of Trek, more diverse than the current trek series with more actors of color, and I guess the "new" part is presenting it as a comedy full of dad jokes. But most sci fi fans, this poster included, really like it and are really positive about it despite the critics pooh-poohing it.

I earnestly want to know how a relatively low-budget homage/parody of 90's Star Trek helmed by Seth MacFarlane managed to turn out to be an absolute gem of a Star Trek show. Did someone sacrifice a goat?
