Star Trek: Picard

the shard of glass or whatever that tumbles through the opening credits - is it the same shape as the (as yet unexplained) metal shard that rios has embedded in his shoulder in his first scene or am i nuts

"captain we need to get you out of there!"
"no i have several very long scenes of excruciatingly tiresome face-to-face exposition! picard out!"

I can't remember, is there any indication in TNG that Picard had a brain anomaly before he was Locutus? I keep thinking that something is going to come of that

over/under on number of different rios holograms?

hologram can't pick up a laser gun and start blastin

or wait, can they? how do holodeck physics work in star trek world anyway?

they have hard light holograms like the Voyager doctor

ffs

Mr Veg and I are loving the repeated occurences of Picard visiting old haunts or acquaintances & being all “Hey it’s me, your old friend!” and literally everyone to a person is like “FUCK YOU!” *throws rotten fruit*
Dude’s about as popular as Gallagher

Even-numbered episode theory still holding!

they have hard light holograms like the Voyager doctor

It's basically holodeck technology outside of a holodeck.

Best GOT pun I've seen so far is Romulannisters.

The dog fight at the end was confusing because I wasn't sure which was Rios's ship!

rmde @ JL castigating Elrond for killing that Romulan when JL was the one provoking a fight.

I want to like this so much, but I don't really know what's going on, and it's boring. Sliding around on a Borg cube in your socks? No. That's not a thing.

Picturing Picard doing the Risky Business bit.

the return of 7 of 9 should be good, but it wasn't dignified and quite bodged. i don't expect her to say that old maverick pilot *classic* "you owe me a ship, Picard" that is a Lieutenant Starbuck type line!

it is absolutely absurd that anyone would call him 'JL'

including you, leee!

The difference with me is that I used it ironically! Agreed that it is awful all the same.

Yeah, I hate that as a touch. It's so Poochie.

Yeah it’s too familiar & informal. I dislike it immensely

"Please, it's pronounced 'Juul.'"

I don’t know, I’m really enjoying the klutzy, rambling pace, it makes the show seem more like comfort food to me, which is what I want from a trek show

I can imagine being called JL initially irritated Picard and that was part of their dynamic when they got along.

The music is really weird and intrusive and makes this feel like a modern BBC show like Sherlock

Sliding around on a Borg cube in your socks? No. That's not a thing.

When that bit happened my bf got a disgusted look on his face and muted the loud, overweening Titanic-romance music that started playing. BLEUGH what was the point of that scene. We get it, he's playing her.

But I'm enjoying this otherwise. I liked Seven's entrance, especially her falling down dizzily after she said it.

that scene was important to establish that there are still socks in the 24th century and it will pay off later in the show, possibly to universe-saving effect

Socks: check.
Zippers: GTFO.

Narek is the worst

i thought that too but then there was that scene with his horny sister and now she is the worst

I want to give Narek a fucking shower, he looks blegh.

*sets fire to own brain*

I share this important report.

#Picard is a tv show this is my report about it

it has many themes, such as the following pic.twitter.com/VnOVL5TqGU

Yeah, as much as the Han Solo McTerrible-Accents guy annoys me, he is super hot.

picard's undercover werner herzog impression is, like this show as a whole, bad

I thought he was sounding like a bad French stereotype, not a German one? Need to relisten

he was going for french and landed on herzog-in-jack-reacher imo

lol tranya

honh honh honh I have ze borg!

that was a really bizarre episode. parts of it were laughably bad - the lizard guy with the keen sense of smell seemed like he wandered in from The Orville

and no idea what they were thinking with Picard's accent unless it was some sort of Holy Grail/Pink Panther tribute

that lady had a pretty bad security system

anyway this episode was Good because it was narek-and-twinless and with luck we've fulfilled our raffi backstory requirement

do we see the painting again

the painting . . . lives

Prior art:

the painting was pretty good if you stack it up against Data’s other artistic pursuits imo

that lady had a pretty bad security system

you mean vajayzle?

"once zey get ze borg inside zem zey are never going back"

:0

omg this is the slowest-paced nonsense i've ever watched and i've seen wavelength

So... this is baf?
