OH yeah you got a super open mind about it. Tighclops posted:I don't expect Picard will be much better but unless everybody involved is completely and utterly bad (or else being overruled by somebody truly awful much higher up at CBS) I can't imagine it will be as disagreeable as STD was at it's worst. I mean, what little I've read doesn't inspire much confidence in much the same way what I've read about the recent Star Wars movies didn't, but there's no way they could ignore all the people out there who were fed up with the reheated BSG edgelord stuff. Even STD's second season was trying to back away from that but now apparently the Federation's turned evil in the future so who the gently caress knows anymore. Just ready to give this one a fair shot

At the moment of Picards death, Thomas Riker phases into reality next to Will, also doing jumping jacks. The music swells in this poignant representation of life and death.

I think he's a little peeved that people drop in to say stupid poo poo like 'lol this is a bad show', like, say, you, but to defend Tighclops a bit, he has at least tried to express his concerns as constructive criticisms and/or explaining his distaste for what appears, which is at least reasonable discourse. I agree with zoux's annoyance at drive-by threadshitters who leave the conversational equivalent of a steaming pile of poo poo on the sidewalk and seem to walk away satisfied with their accomplishment.

I don't recall anyone outright saying "you have poo poo taste for liking this" but some of the spicier takes certainly imply it. That said, right off the bat, criticism of the show was met with a lot of explicitly personal attacks from some posters. So in conclusion, and in the spirit of solidarity, I would now like to invite you all to kiss my rear end, losers.

ST:P S04E1-2 "Picard Dies (Pts.1&2)" Riker laughs while he's filling out a sprawling, fancy Vulcan puzzle. Deanna stands nearby at the kitchen sink, repeatedly banging a pot around in simulation of housework. "What is it, Imzadi?" she says with barely-restrained hate. "I just never noticed it before; July August September October November." he replies, laughing even harder now. "JASON. Leave it to the Vulcans to notice that. Hoo, drat." There are actual no-poo poo tears in his eyes. Picard lies dead on the front lawn outside the door. Nobody notices or, if they do, nobody cares.

ST:P S04E02 "Picard Dies" Zani, leader of the Qowat Milat, goes to check on Elnor. He is watching an endless compilation of video footage of soap being cut. His hand is wrapped tightly around his blade, thick green blood trickling. Zani closes the door and backs away. It's getting worse.

Have you gotten into that procedural text generator again? I'll never forget when that was first used in the old Discovery thread and for a couple pages everyone thought the poster was having a total mental collapse.

Picard, to doctor who knows that Picard is dying: "I'm dying. My life is fading from my body. I shall die soon." Doctor, who knows that Picard is dying: "I know that you are dying." *cut to 14 years ago* Picard: "I bet I will die in 14 years." *cut back to present* Picard: "I can't believe I predicted this, 14 years ago. That I'm dying, I mean."

Of all threads about Picard, this one honestly seems the least vitriolic about the show. The two or three ones in GBS are much more extreme in how against the show posters are. I have always gotten the feeling that posters in here who have negative things about the show at least have an open mind about it, including Mr Tighclops. Going back to the posts from when this latest episode aired, it seems like a major sentiment was that people were starting to turn against the show after the episode. This may be the most positive thread I have seen about the show outside of the subreddit (and those people.....I don't trust those people), not to say everyone here is positive about the show, but it overall seems less negatively charged about thr show than elsewhere.

Well there's the star trek one, the Picard one, maybe another Picard one, the RLM one that is currently devoted to not liking Picard (before that it was devoted to not liking star wars), maybe more I haven't seen? There's also a few star trek threads in that temporary star wars forum.

If it turns out to amount to overheated poo poo, (which I was honest about and hardly alone in expecting from the start, and only became more convinced would happen after this most recent episode) then I'll ditch it next season just like I did the last show they made when it turned out to be crappy- but not before I post about what I felt went wrong! And then you'll never get to enjoy your Trek through the Stars in peace! Mwahahahha ahahah a aaaaa

The prequel thread is the next step of evolution of the long running cinema discusso star wars thread and quite frankly it is a thing of beauty. Don't get involved, don't get upset, don't pick a side, just take a look and get ready for a beautiful journey of people endlessly attempting to convince the other side with the conviction of a devotee that no ACTUALLY the prequels are good/bad, and you are the one that is wrong.
