Star Trek: Picard [spoilers]

[petee]

 

[Tankus]

I am not sure any of Discovery's episodes, in either season, was as bad as ep 4 of Picard was.

Of the many terrible bits - the meeting in the holographic representation of his house, the ship turning up, the warrior nuns, him walking into that bar, that Panama hat etc - I felt the worst was the two minutes of skidding. What on earth was the point of that?

filler.......

I've started FF through bits

 

[Spod]

Dead right. Just boring chat after boring chat. WTF are they thinking with this?

[DexterTCN]

NextGen was mostly chat. It took time to relate to the characters though.

I hated Worf early on.

 

[kabbes]

I’ve quite liked it, which is rare for me with telly these days. It’s not the best thing ever but it’s been quite fun. I like the crew they’re assembling and it was cool when 7 turned up.

 

[Artaxerxes]

It's, ok. It's comfortable rather than good I think, it's not going to go down as record breaking or insightful but it's comfortable. Better than the Abrams work at least.

The most jarring part for me us the concept of Picard just going quietly into the night for 14 years and abandoning everyone which was very much the theme of episode 3 and 4.

 

[Spod]

its not chat I object to - its the boring chat. With the occasional unnecessary f-bomb.

I'm giving it one more episode before I bail.

Gives a whole new meaning to Inside No 9

[cybershot]

Well. That was a total waste of jeri Ryan.

 

[DexterTCN]

Not very good at all.

Sort of like a wannabe Blakes 7....... but without the charm and wobbly polystyrene

...and on valium.

 

[DexterTCN]

Valuim in fact. (because it's badly written)

 

[agricola]

Well. That was a total waste of jeri Ryan.

Its a total waste of everything. How did this get a second season?

 

[Steel Icarus]

I'm really enjoying it

 

[DexterTCN]

It may actually be a victim of nostalgia.

Last year we had Dark Crystal, Chernobyl and Watchmen off the top of my head.

 

[SpookyFrank]

This just keeps getting worse somehow. The dialogue is woeful, just people explaining the plot to each other. Seven's personality has gone out the window. Picard himself has nothing to do.

 

[Tankus]

Actually.....like Blakes 7 ...it may be better off with the title character dead.....

Stewart is really struggling to get his lines out

Who is nostalgic for Chernobyl ?

 

[DexterTCN]

Who is nostalgic for Chernobyl ?

Sorry, I meant that there's so much quality stuff now that another Star Trek show pales quickly in comparison. My expectations were too high and I'm currently very disappointed with this.

 

[Cloo]

Still really liking it and thought Ryan's performance was excellent.... not a waste at all.

Finding it slightly hard to hold onto everything that's going on though, I admit!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I like it. The pace is a bit slow but I'm happy to go along with it. I like Seven's hard-faced and murderous character.

The female doctor from the synth lab is starting to annoy me though.

 

[Spod]

Right, I'm now done with it. Gave it a 5 episodes and, waited till 7 came into it in the hope that it would perk up. She was ok but does not make up for the whole show being boring, crap writing and poor performances.

 

[CNT36]

I hope she's not done. A major part of the plot seems to be about ex-borg. Seems a waste to get in the most famous Ex-borg just to go to the fancy dress night in the local.
Nice to see the creepy kid borg finally get his.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Seven's personality has gone out the window.

It's been decades, though - are you still the same person you were 20 odd years ago?

 

[Buddy Bradley]

The female doctor from the synth lab is starting to annoy me though.

She's reminding me a lot of Ensign Tilly.

 

[CNT36]

She's reminding me a lot of Ensign Tilly.

Mike Stoklasa said the same thing. I'm still only three episodes in to Discovery so not sure myself.

It's partly a resemblance between the actresses, but the Dr is also the audience proxy like Tilly (or at least she was, until she started murdering people.)

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Episode 6 accelerates the pace a fair bit, at least towards the end. faint praise, I know.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

She's reminding me a lot of Ensign Tilly.

No idea who that is, sorry.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Captain Rios (or whatever) is quite hot though.
