That girl from the vampire saga (had to google tbh) Kristen Stewart vs Emma Watson in Harry Potter saga. A literal telephone pole of acting level vs a very talented kid who grew in age and performance as an actor right in front of our eyes.

What kind of poker are they playing in the opening scene of Picard? I've been wanting to learn more variations of poker and I've never seen one where the players asks for cards

Random thought. Did anyone else think it was a little unfair of Jean-Luc to blame the reporter for not being familiar with "Dunkirk"? It happened almost five hundred years ago. It'd be like us name-dropping (*throws a dart at Wikipedia*) "Castillon" to a reporter and then castigating them for not immediately recognizing that you mean the battle from the Hundred Years' War. I get that he was mad, but it still seemed unfair to throw it in her face.

Nah gently caress her - it would be her job to ask him to expound on that, especially that she already referenced the entire galaxy is watching this and of course your average Telleratire doesn't know anything about an old Earth War. She didn't care what he thought, it was a hit piece and I thought it was fairly visible that she was BS'ing as if she did know what it was.

The simplest variant where you can discard and replace any of your cards to make the best hand. e: beaten. 5 Card Stud is another fun one that they play in TNG too Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jan 25, 2020 |

God it's good to see a Trek that's moving forward again, and while Picard, the character, feels a little idolized, it's so good to see him again. Brent looked fine too, they dialed down the face filter enough and having seen him in previews kinda softened the idea that this robot guy is 70. What I didn't like was how they were zipping all over the planet, it felt very rushed. Chill. This is Star Trek, take your time. Dahj went from the US to France and back again, same for Picard, without ever seeing them board a shuttle or use a transporter. It's a small thing, but I missed it. That's all. Eagerly awaiting the next episode.

Grand Fromage posted:Her mom is some sort of AI. It glitched out in the middle of the conversation and changed tactics. She was talking to an AI in that scene, it doesn't mean she didn't have a childhood with parents. She would apparently pass a medical scan - she fooled a tricorder at Chateau Picard - so there's no reason to think she didn't grow up like an actual human. She also passed the Daystrom Institute's background check, and had the academic qualifications (publications and references) to be offered a fellowship. Very hard to fake. Speculation is probably moot since that twin got exploded.

I suspect the foster parent road is not where they're going with it, if only because Jurati (Alison Pill) suggested the science had only come close to making someone like Dahj relatively recently. Definitely not long enough for her to have been made as a baby and grown up naturally. If her subconscious programming let her hack Starfleet security feeds like Data, then it's not a stretch to think she could forge a digital paper trail for herself.

Probably either space mines to keep someone from tractor beaming it away or to blow the poo poo out of it if the cube reactivates suddenly or if someone like the Federation stumbles upon it randomly to cover up the evidence, because the Romulans are hella paranoid like that. Or some kind of gravity tethers to hold the cube in place and keep it from drifting through space. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Jan 26, 2020 |

I get that he was mad, but it still seemed unfair to throw it in her face. This is great because I thought Dunkirk was some WW thing and I didn't even see that movie. I enjoyed this more than I expected. The trailer for the next episode seemed extreme, but that's a critique of overly dramatic trailerographers, not the show. I was and am still hoping Dahj didn't die, I don't think "surprise twin" is really going to cut it for me. Just seems rude to do the ol' introduce and kill. Too videogamey. Other than that, totally into the Data Babies Club. I am extremely pro-artificial life. If I had to choose between one or the other, I'd choose AL or hybrids. I am also into them doing a hotrod custom borg cube. I really hope that the Borg finally figured out that the way to assimilate the Federation would be to let the people of the sector to integrate themselves by choice, kind of.

I think it's also fair to call out the journo about Dunkirk simply because she notes Picard wrote history books after he retired, so presumably at least one of them was about WW2.

Until acid-spit-splosion, I was thinking the way Troi and Riker were going to come in was Picard taking Dahj to see them and have Troi actually use her psychiatry degree for once in helping her process the revelation.

Noble future admiral Janeway time traveled and deleted a whole reality for her crew. fadam posted:So we know what those hosed up cross things floating beside the borg cube are? Some kind of stealth field would be my first guess, keeping it Camo'd from scans. Could also go the other way and be sensors that keep an eye on what's nearby, or that do detailed scans of the interior. In keeping with the more action-y Trek of late defense platforms of some kind are a firm possibility as well. On that note, sign me up as excited to see more spaceship battles in a Trek show with current VFX abilities, especially if we get more of a dogfighting feel as smaller ships fight each other.

Or some kind of gravity tethers to hold the cube in place and keep it from drifting through space. or the reason those things in the last scene are there is because If the Borg somehow did retake the cube it would blow up immediately. Also, that guy posted about the pacing issue and said he thought the reviews are garbage on that end. And I agree but also because the writers picked up the feel of TNG. Hour long plays that really push the tension as the episode goes, mostly slow builds to allow plots to breath. The reason people hate the pacing is because modern TV is so loving fast now and its kind of nice to see the throwback of lets actually build up.
