the painting . . . lives

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?

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

So... this is baf?

Bad!

gotta feel bad for brian brophy, who has now costarred as dr bruce maddox in both one of the greatest hours of television ever broadcast and whatever this pantomime nonsense was

it is both bad not good and good not bad imo

baf not goof

baffe growing vpon the measure of a man

counterpoint: it’s nonsense and weird and a missed opportunity, but I’ve enjoyed every episode

im still watching it but it's SO SLOW

wow bizarro

hes a genius but dont tell him i said

i think it’s pretty good but what do i know

last ep was pure fetch quest, didn't advance the story (except for the last two minutes), dispensed with characters and locations we'd been led to expect more from, indulged in shallow world building, and was basically lacking in action, excitement, intrigue, moral dilemmas, blah blah. sorry but that's just how i feel. will keep watching.

tfw acclaim for yr genius finally arrives but it hinges on arcane knowledge of not just star trek but also one thread on one specific web forum’s one hidden board :/

i’m enjoying the show a fair bit despite its flaws and weird pacing but i think if you’re not already invested in picard as a character it’s probably not got a huge amount to offer

you mean vajayzle?

Aaraghh I was going to make this joke!

I thought this was a terribly written and executed episode, I think they wanted to go for a TOS-style goofiness with the stuff on Freecloud but at the same time bookend it with NOT YER GRANNY'S TREK cynicism and grossout dismemberment while also peppering with bad backstory and throwaway lines from useless appendages (sorry Elrond).

BTW they recast Maddox, who is now played by Jordan Peterson.

Oh the exposition in the beginning (Raffi and Rios talking about ex-Borgs) was shamefully clumsy. "Oh how ever did I forget that Picard used to be a Borg, oh ho ho!"

I'm not sure how I feel about the Mr. Mot and Quark "cameos."

feel we're not paying enough attention to this very remarkable line :( :( :(

I would love to hear Eric Cantona read this line.

Yeah I was enjoying this but that last episode was arse.
The guy Vajayzle (lol) butchered - that was the kid from last season Voyager, right? The other rescued borg kid?
- why didnt they use the same actor for him?
- ditto Bruce Maddox?
- why is this storyline so disjointed? I am struggling to follow it, there are competing motivations flying all over the place and somehow it makes it feel too rapid-paced and yet getting nowhere all at once.

BTW I have no problem with the violence/gore in the show and all the purists wailing "this is a UTOPIA not a DYSTOPIA" I shrug at, but... yeah this feels rushed and clumsy all over somehow.

Maybe Stewart spent too long on shows like Blunt Talk and thinks he's funnier now ;)

Oh and some things I noticed:
- the comment "whats her name, something like... 99, or 11?" - assming that was a bit of a clumsy lol ref to 99 from get smart, and 11 from stranger things?
- them having to kick and punch away all the holo spam in the ship. I feel like they ripped that wholesale off a scene in Futurama when they all go into the "Internet".

lol

Oh chut up :P

"they don't change! they metastasize!"

all the young ppl running and jlp wobbling along behind :|

What did you think of the painting in this week's episode?

Honestly, Soji should've known that something was wrong with her, because what adult decorates their rooms with their own childhood drawings?

I have a feeling that many viewers wouldn't mind Elrond in-butting them, amirite?

wait i missed the painting! i was making supper and not paying full attention all the time

i feel like recasting this character as jonathan frakes was a good idea

given how slooooooow the action still is, it was very lucky that the big encounter came in exactly the right 90 seconds to enable a way out

also lol this ep had several bodged echoes of firefly and serenity (which for my sins i know much better than TNG)

I am so bored by this show now. If they don't bring on new writers for season two and improve it massively, I won't bother with it.

I think I’m done with it.

what this tale needs more of: "the fabric is ripped you jean luc picard motherfuckers"

As a Tolkienian Trekkie this makes me very happy and it cannot be an accident. #StarTrekPicard pic.twitter.com/spMERFQ6SP

Riker in his pizza ranch >>> Kirk in his Nexus ranch

Mr Veg and I got into the *dumbest* argument about Riker’s pizza oven that ended with him texting me a still from the episode to prove he was right. 🤓

I still am enjoying this show btw. I dont mind the slow pacing, there’s just something about that is really kinda nice

why is this how she finds out, old man, you need yr shiny head slappin

picard is solving galactic politics by visiting everyone's house one by one

things data wanted:
a) datadaughter feat.mucus
