God, everything I see Terry Matalas say and do makes him sound like he's just the dumbest, most gormless asswipe in Hollywood. A real room temperature (Celsius) IQ prick who tripped and failed into every job he's ever gotten.

Tighclops posted:I was unaware of this, can you tell me more/direct me to more information about it Terry Matalas, the showrunner for Picard Season 3 and the first couple of episodes of Season 2 before he hosed off into a closet to write all of Season 3 himself and was never seen again, is really buddy-buddy close, like simperingly close, friends with and fans of at least two known big name chuds, Robert Meyer Burnett and Gary Beuchler aka "Nerdrotic", and has been trying to woo them endlessly in the run up to tonight's premiere of Season 3 to get glowing praise out of them despite them having a long history of hating modern Star Trek, women, people of colour and LGBT+ people. https://twitter.com/TerryMatalas You can see on his Twitter account literally today that Matalas was retweeting poo poo from Nerdrotic in a cloying "please like me racist daddy" appeal to Beuchler's crusty bigoted rear end.

Timby posted:Jurati. Jabooti. Beeftweeter posted:since one of the supposedly main characters becomes the borg queen after they go back in time the whole thing technically shouldn't have happened anyway. it's a perfect metaphor for the season itself Again, I just keep thinking about how nuts Season 2 of Picard must have been from the POV of the Stargazer bridge crew. You're at your station manning the helm trying to mind your own business while your captain (a guy who was unemployed about a month ago) lights up a stogie on the bridge while his weirdo girlfriend...-ish drunkenly stumbles around the bridge like it's a jungle gym and tries to do the science officer's job for him. You then warp out to inspect some space thingie and it turns out that it's The Borg, and they only want to talk to Admiral Picard. So Picard shows up and says "Hello" and the Borg respond by immediately beaming their Queen over and trying to take over the ship. A fire fight erupts and you can hear Captain Nepotism in the background screaming at everyone to cease fire, yet more security goons keep flooding in from the turbolifts and just unloading in the direction of the viewscreen to zero effect. Picard activates the self destruct and you begin crying and pissing yourself because you're about to die and then when the timer suddenly gets to one, the old man goes "Ehh, nevermind. Cancel auto destruct." You look up from under the cover of your console to discover that Captain... what was his name again, Ross? Ringo? Rivera? Eh who gives a poo poo, anyway, he's gone, just not loving there anymore, and neither is his weirdo girlfriend, but the XO of the Excelsior is now suddenly there on the bridge with everyone, so that's new. Oh and I guess Captain Retcon's weirdo ex-girlfriend actually IS still there, she's now the Borg Queen... what? Anyway, Queen Jabroni or whatever the hell her last name was says a space diarrhea thing is about to erupt and kill everyone in the Alpha Quadrant and they need all of Starfleet to stop it, so it's time to go warp off to avert that crisis. Picard then makes some random woman who was famous like 20 years ago for surviving the Delta Quadrant on Voyager the captain now, because that's just what Picard does now, just makes people captains like he's the loving Queen of England knighting people, and you go zip off to save the day from the space goatse hole thing. Then Picard goes back to his vineyard, the Borg Queen goes back to her Borg palace ship and you're left standing there going "I'm sorry, WHAT THE FU--" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTF0Yq1_0Og nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Feb 19, 2023 |

Beeftweeter posted:it's really funny that there are multiple completely valid reasons why that entire season just should not have happened at all The only explanation I can come up with is that they needed something to act as a stopgap to buy them time to work on making Season 3 the best possible version of itself that they could make in their limited scope of competence, so Season 2 was a piece of sacrificial trash that everyone knew going into it was going to be a disaster which they farmed out to the lowest bidding contractors to make fast and cheap with the mandate of disposing of all the pieces that didn't fit into their plans for the story they really wanted to tell (Season 3) as ruthlessly as possible. It was a season that literally no one wanted to make, and yet they HAD to make it otherwise, so they just quarter-assed their way through it, where as Season 1 and hopefully Season 3 at least reached the heights of half-assed.

PostNouveau posted:7 of 9 went from vigilante murderer to XO of the Titan just on the word of Picard and Janeway. Starfleet was just like "Yeah, we'll jump you about 8 steps in your career. As long as Picard is cool with you." I mean, this is par for the course for both Picard and Janeway. Picard got a guy who'd been washed out of Starfleet for over a decade and living in a space RV in a drunken haze for most that time a job as the captain of the most advanced ship in the fleet, seemingly against the dude's will on his word alone. Janeway got a bunch of kids who stole an advanced prototype starship and were an accessory to the deaths of thousands and the destruction of dozens, possibly hundreds of Starfleet vessels advanced placement in Starfleet Academy as warrant officers, also on her word alone. Having them both show up in a room at the same time and go "Hire this woman" is the Starfleet equivalent to Literally God showing up and telling you to do something. And you don't ask the Almighty for his ID.

HD DAD posted:By the third season, Lower Decks is just making great regular Trek with some jokes. Hell, Reflections veers close to being a straight drama. Yeah, Lower Decks has a heart and soul and a vast amount of respect for not just its audience, but its story universe and characters, which is something that shows like Picard and Discovery are absolutely bereft of. It's the same with Strange New Worlds and Prodigy, all three shows respect your time and intelligence. Picard is just trying to work a con on you to get the folks behind it a paycheck. Lower Decks is the kind of show that I, someone who's been a fan of Star Trek for 30 years, would make in order to express both my love for and my gentle frustrations with All Of Star Trek.

I've said it in a couple of places, but both Prodigy and Lower Decks are a pair of Star Trek shows that are built on love for Star Trek, just from two different perspectives. Lower Decks is a show that loves Star Trek from the perspective of someone who's been a fan for decades and knows it well enough to make fun of how silly it is without straying into meanspiritedness. Meanwhile Prodigy is a show from the perspective of someone who has just today found out what Star Trek is and has fallen in love with it and wants to learn everything about it as fast as possible in order to be true fan of it. Picard meanwhile, is a show that has nothing but spite for Star Trek and hates you for still somehow sticking around and loving Star Trek 30 years after TNG went off the air.
