Fortunately captain dathon already died in that episode so there’s no possible way for the writers of picard to show him being brutally eviscerated.

The writers of Picard may be, but we can't deny that they're very familiar with everything that's come before. They're just bad at using it.

Also Picard Season 3 got one of the Ex Astris guys (The nice one, Jörg, not the grumpy one, Bernd*) to be their lore expert and credited 'research assistant', which is super cool for him and he seems like an awesome fellow and I'm glad for him, even if most of us don't really like the show itself.

Oh this is indeed cool, and Jörg doesn't seem at all as hateful toward new Trek like Bernd does.

To truly enjoy Stargate Atlantis you must also watch A Dog's Breakfast. It even has Christopher Judge, so it counts as an Atlantis/SG-1 crossover movie.

Ensign Septuagenarian had a full life and rewarding career and after early retirement decided do something he always dreamed about and join Starfleet. He met the minimum standards (which are flexible because you’re dealing with so varying species) and Starfleet has strict anti-ageism policies.

He gets to use old skills in new ways and was asked to join a pick up band with senior officers. Life is good.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Totally. If being an old ensign in starfleet is the same as picking up 3 shifts a week at Walmart then sign me the gently caress up.

Fed scientists can create artificial organs that do the job just as well as organic ones up to and including parts of your brain. If someone asked for it, they could survive way past 200 on an increasingly artificial body.

They're just all brainwashed not to ask for it.

Didn't Early TNG have a bunch of super old dudes as admirals? Not even like regular old dudes like the ones who got the bug/worm/thing and tried to take over Starfleet, but dudes that they had to cake in bad age makeup like Bones and that admiral or got some anti-aging serum for him and his wife, then chugged it all?

Yeah I’ve got nothing against anyone who works in the show who isn’t an executive producer. As far as I’m concerned the blame for all its failures rests snugly in their shoes (Patrick Stewart included) and everyone else is just doing the best they can. I imagine even the writers room is probably just fine, it’s just that with Matalas getting final rewrites he turns everything into a waiting game with “big” obvious reveals stretched out over multiple episodes.
