Star Trek: Picard.

Yeah..I'm gonna need a damn good answer for why the Titan II is not only not Luna class, but also looks older than the Luna class.

I don't dislike it. My favorite Enterprise is the Undiscovered Country version. But it's not the Titan, and it doesn't match up with what we have seen of the Picard-era fleet.

Rumor has it that there may be a TNG reboot, and will take place in the Kelvinverse

My rant above notwithstanding, the only reason I'd be anywhere near interesting in a TNG reboot is because the women characters were all fucked over seven ways to Sunday in the original with mediocre to flat out bad writing that I'd love to see a version that didn't just treat Troi as tits and ass, didn't define Yar by her rape gang planet (Jesus Christ, WHY did they add that?!) And actually gave Crusher more to do than just bang her grandmother's old flame like a bad soap opera

Given the bandaid has long been ripped off with recasting the TOS cast and Spock twice, I can't see anyone but the usual suspects who hate all things Kurtzman being angry about this

Come on “Sub Rosa” and “Don’t Forget Me” were awesome.

which is why I don't get the grief for new trek?

all, and I mean all, Trek has rarely been above 60% watchable.

A TOS episode with GR in the writing credits is almost assuredly garbage and potentially derivative of another episode in the same season. Probably have some totally unnecessary kink of his in it too..

TNG aged horribly

DS9 took till S4 to be worthy of settign time aside for

ENT ages worse than TNG, even if it had some clever ideas that didn't fly as high as hoped.

Frankly, the first 2 seasons of DIS were better than most of'em as far as being Trek stories.

Mush-mouth Disco Klingons are worse than the Xindi and the skin flake Gamma quadrant refugees combined.

That was bad. But, then, I'm not one of those people who insist an alien race shouldn't be speaking English. I didn't even care if Klingons looked like TOS Klingons.

why?

the redesign didn't totally suck, and got better in S2 once they grew their hair back.

besides:

They gave them a speech impediment, then scripted them long ass speeches! Come the fuck on!

weird.. image was from memory alpha and i used the tags rather than C&P?

ah well, found an animated version

meh... the speech cadence didn't really bother me (actually seemed to follow previous klingon beats) and I'm used to so many accents around here that it didn't seem like a big deal.

long ass speeches, yeah... but at least they weren't rambling about gazelles or risk being their business...

Non-embeddable deleted scene from season 2 here.

It was just on. There is one redeeming quality in "Sub Rosa", Beverly's Hills.

I meant to include Kazon in that list of shame.

Season 3 second trtailer.




Villain reveals, holy fucking shit!!!
I'm all in!

I'll be damned.

Hmmm. Which character to subvert ...

Welcome to 2022, Son of Mogh.

PACIFIST?!

Just go fuck right off with that one, mars bar head. I hope Martok has banished this nancy-pants petaQ from his proud house.

Who is the big name we're meant to be gaga over - the cornball lady on the ... what is that? Reminds me of a Vorlon ship. Oh and Moriarty, lol. Oh, and LORE. LOL. The reference-loving crowd are going to be beside themselves.

"S-so-so many things I 'member! I-I-I can't take it... I -- "

<faints>

<10 minutes later>

"Is it over?"

<looks up to see Sela, Daemon Bok & Minuet staring down the crew>

kinda...meh?
Don't know who the villain lady is.
no interest at all in more Moriarty (and how is a hologram aged almost 40 years?)
Lore I'm okay with - certainly better than some other contrived way of shoehorning Spiner in.

The "hunting us" plot is fine, I guess, depending on if we believe the motivation

Moriary is the main character of Star Trek.
Just like the Star Wars universe revolves around Jar-Jar.
How can anyone not know this?

Flesh golem. Just like Lore.

I mean... for all his concern for Data's civil rights, Picard did screw over the also-sentient Moriarty bigtime. As frustrated as I was about the revelation that Picard had never lobbied in favour of civil rights for ex-Borg, TNG did establish that precedent of selective concern with Moriarty.

And the last time we saw him, he was trapped in another simulation believing he'd been transported into the real world. I'd think part of the illusion would involve him being just like any mortal being at that point, which would include aging. (There was a post-Nemesis novel where he had two kids in the simulation before discovering it wasn't real. He wasn't happy about it.)

But if Moriarty was created by the computer to be "capable of defeating Data," shouldn't he calm down once he learns Data is dead? He wasn't programmed to defeat Picard or anyone else.

Breaking: News reports from Los Angeles, CA indicate that a small earthquake has occurred and the grave of one Margaret Wander Bonanno has been thrown open. Eyewitnesses state that what appeared to be a zombie was spotted leaving the grave, heading in the direction of Maine, while mumbling the words, "How many times did I bitch about Nicolas Meyer having a Sherlock Holmes fetish on those stupid message boards? You'd think that people would remember that. Even if they didn't you'd think that they'd at least remember the fucking meme about it! You know, this one:



Guess I'm going to have to kick some Mainer's ass."

I was reading that saying "how are these people not mentioning "The Undiscovered Country"?"

Also, not really relevant but...Spock's mother was Amanda Grayson. Robin/Nightwing is Dick Grayson. In my head canon it's the same lineage because reasons.

Oooh!!







I'm rather "meh" on the design.

Pretty much my reaction to this too.

Probably just gonna wait to hear the reviews on Season 3 before I get invested.

will say, the odds are better than 50% (IMO) that Lore ends up being not-a-villain-anymore and has some part is saving their collective asses.

Don't know what to think of that. It's definitely going off in a different direction than expected. Lots of fanservice though, possibly overkill on that.

Inigo Soong gave him software Prozac maybe?
