zoux posted:I'd argue that the Trek fandom is probably the most continuity-obsessed fandom there is. They used to publish books called “nitpicker's guides to TOS/TNG/DS9” back in the 80s and 90s that exhaustively detailed every continuity error episode by episode. The tone of the books was definitely tongue-in-cheek and aware that they were being nitpicky, that is to say, it didn't have the acid that internet nitpicking does. *sigh* Okay, everybody, raise your hand if you, like me, had more than one of those books. (Raise your other hand if you, like me, still have them on a shelf.)

Calling admirals by their first name is a long-established perk of being a captain, like when Picard notes, "Seems like you really wanna gently caress Commander Shelby, JP!"

FlamingLiberal posted:Normally i would agree, but I get so much whiplash from scenes already not giving us any time to breathe before moving on that it would just make it worse I mean, you'd have to lose some scenes and lengthen others, sure. Maybe I should've said edit the story down to two episodes, then adjust the pacing accordingly. They should've focused on Picard's journey away from Earth and gotten him on a ship at the end of the first episode. Then the camera can warp over to the cube and reveal Soji.

I was glad the nuns came right out and stated that their policy was "tell, don't show," but I was disappointed that philosophy leaked out into the other characters. When the ex-Senator was orating, I kept wishing they'd shown and explored this distrust at Picard having scattered the Romulans across the galaxy, rather than just have the guy dump a page of exposition. And why wasn't he mad at his own drat government for dropping the ball? Ugh, just Nero-is-mad-at-Spock all over again. I also wish all the Borg cube scenes had been condensed into a single episode, so I could've skipped it. Get out of here, creepy Romulan sister!

large_gourd posted:sounds like he's not really on board with the eye gouging stuff. It was doubly stupid because they called back to it later in the episode. Why didn't they just wait to do this scene until Seven is flashing back to it while staring down Dr. Vajazzle? Instead of having her shout, "You killed him! You carved him up!" or whatever, just flash back to that scene as she's gearing up to double-barrel blow the doc away. This series is just such a massive failure of storytelling. We just spent five episodes to find Bruce Maddox, who contributed nothing to the plot that the audience, at least, didn't already know. They should have cut all the Borg cube stuff from previous episodes and not even let us know Soji was out there until Maddox confirmed it. Also, "Should we deal with our stowaway?" *wry smile* "Hey Raffi, you in there?" "GO AWAY!" *wry smile* What the gently caress was the point of calling that much attention to Raffi being back on board? Also also, enough with the telling us stuff we already knew! We had multiple characters in this episode repeat the same line, three different ways, to a character who already knew the information! Or how about this: "Those aliens can smell when you're lying!" Cut to: "Hi, I'm the alien you're looking for. I can smell when you're lying!" Cut to: *zaps Rios with hypo* "Here, just in case you run into one of those aliens who can smell when you're lying. You know, like the specific guy you're trying to meet with." *doesn't zap Picard or Seven* Cut to: "I'm not lying. How do I smell?" I really hope a fan edit comes out that condenses this whole season into three hours or so, because

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."

Marina Sirtis absolutely killed it when Troi first asks Picard if he's okay, he says he's fine, and every emotion washes over Troi's face as she senses how he's actually feeling. It was so not-called-out that I'm willing to bet it was a choice Sirtis made that wasn't in the script. (If it had been in the script, Troi would've said, "As an empath, I can sense your true feelings, so I know that you're actually feeling…".)
