omfg star trek picard is so loving dumb and bad. i'm trying to get through it, again, and am up to episode 4 where they introduce the romulan warrior nuns who practice "the way of absolute candor" where they have "total communication of emotion, without any filter between thought and word" because, see, the romulans are, like, vulcans, but the exact opposite in every way. not an insular offshoot of vulcans who developed their own unique culture over centuries of isolation. just bizarro vulcans aaagggggghhhhgghhghghgh

also, i love patrick stewart, but it's really apparent that he's old as balls and sometimes seems to have trouble delivering his lines. and instead of building a set for his quarters on the starship, they just put him back in the french chateau set and said it's a holographic recreation of his home on earth. wtf. (1) nobody else on the ship has a holographic room, and (2) i don't even know whether to blame that on the show being cheap or patrick steward being old as balls and needing to sit in an easy chair whenever possible.

the only part i've actually liked so far is that they brought back Hugh, portrayed by the original actor, and he's now a federation citizen and borg researcher/psychologist/something. that's a nice touch. i literally don't even know the names of half the crew on this ship. there's picard, DOCTOR JURATI, captain beardo and his holographic j/o bros, and desert hippie. gently caress

Picard was 2019 apparently, I thought it was a few years earlier for some reason. 72-77 or whatever are definitely years where you’d expect an exponential slow down

if i ever met patrick stewart i would, instead of bringing a picard, i would absolutely buy a Chapman Stick for $1800 on Reverb or whatever just to see the look of disgust on his face when he sees it

re: dune jokes, I am pretty sure they put every single one of the quips in the trailer. it definitely made it look like it was going to have a lot more and i was really disappointed about it. they absolutely made that trailer appeal to the marvel crowd as much as possible. i would prefer there to be no humor at all frankly, lol. the spit scene was fine though.

Sagebrush posted:also, i love patrick stewart, but it's really apparent that he's old as balls and sometimes seems to have trouble delivering his lines. my cynical read on that is that one of the producers was just absolutely batshit in love with the chateau sets and wanted any excuse at all to revisit them again and again i suspect that it's probably actually more down to something like the chateau set cost a bundle of money and the studio refused to authorize that amount of money for something that would only show up in two or three episodes. it's absolutely loving dumb though. picard doesn't need to bring "the comforts of home" with him, he lived in space for literally decades, he was a career starfleet officer. like, if anything, if they'd wanted to do the "picard needs somewhere familiar to hang out and center himself in" it would have made more sense to do... the ready room. but i'm sure some dipshit producer would have been all "b-bb-b-but it's too cramped! it looks old. can't do it. *huff*" so we get the goddamn vineyard parlor.

picard would have been a lot better if it was just a purely masturbatory show of picard hanging out at his vineyard with his romulan employees as old friends show up and reminisce. maybe he visits rikers so he can get pizza.

picard not only became a borg drone but openly admitted 'i remember everything' and as far as i can tell starfleet just said "You feelin aight? Take a week off?" and gave his command right the gently caress back not even being sure what happens when a starfleet captain, specifically the one with the biggest ship, becomes a borg, then immediately becomes a not borg
