Star Trek: Picard

kinda wonder if they're gonna ignore jean-luc having a brother?

anyway i have to agree with trishy b's link -- none of this requires there to be a hole in picard's life. he's gotten with lots of ladies and if he can't muster it up for orla brady then dm me her number. let's go do some sci-fi shit

lol

If they at least allude to the Bev/Picard ship (even to explain why it never happened either on TNG or between TNG and Picard), I as a longtime shipper would forgive the show many of its current and future trespasses.

mookie!

my man

I as a longtime shipper would forgive the show many of its current and future trespasses.

You mean they might finally admit that he's Wesley's real dad? And Wesley would come back from Travellerland, or wherever he ended up? That would be cool.

recently learned that you used to be a poster i really liked a lot but goddamnit if you summon wesley i will fp you straight to hell

(j/k)

It's inevitable. I can feel it.

as long as they don’t bring back that gross archaeologist chick from Risa i dont care who he bones as long as he bones ~someone~ ffs

i vote for orla or bev

Just watched the TNG episode where he goes to his brother's vineyard and 1800s france was very much a thing there too

evidently the bad picard (grrrr scowls) and the good picard (smiles ineffectually, unsure what's going on) are going to sidney-carton the french revolution in two different directions

You mean they might finally admit that he's Wesley's real dad? And Wesley would come back from Travellerland, or wherever he ended up? That would be cool.

Nooooooo! I never went in for THAT particular theory, and my interest in Bev/Picard was strictly within the timeline of TNG (I have a great fondness for "Attached").

I’m burning this motherfucker down if Wesley shows up

I dunno, I always liked that tease of the Traveller story that never really got follow up, I recall I thought it might come up at one point in Disco and never did.

as long as they don’t bring back that gross archaeologist chick from Risa i dont care

Oh my god, she was the WOOOORST. It was like they were going for a Raiders vibe and landed somewhere around Hooten and the Lady (a show I have never seen, obviously).

sir pat stew didn't think that archaeologist chick was gross o_O

To bring it back full circle, Vash (the "archaeologist chick") ended up palling around the universe with Q (in an ersatz Doctor/companion thing) on DS9.

oh yeah thats right the archaeologist was his irl girlfriend at the time or wife or whatever

big deal, her character was lame

ooh I think my borg guess might be right

Intrigued about this now. I bailed on Picard season 1 before the two-part finale. Do I *have* to go back and watch that before season 2?

I watched the first 10 mins of season 2 and was, like, Ok! He's back on the farm, so I guess nothing big happened, also the theme tune is bad now.

I just don't want to see any of the new crew, ever, except Orla Brady. Unless they're ok now?

I don't think you really need to have seen the s1 finale for s2 so far -- might be worth reading a synopsis and then immediately facepalming.

Nu-crue:

• Raffi has only called "JL" once by my count (of the two eps that I've seen), so she's only mildly annoying.
• Elnor's actor is really limited and so he's being used as comic relief, which IMO makes him a little more bearable.
• Agnes actually carried the second episode for me

lol i think this is a good assessment

oh and i need clarification on this

are we definitely sure that Rios is NOT timothy olyphant?

how dare you

Elnor's actor is really limited and so he's being used as comic relief

Well...that changes.

man, ICE is just as terrible in 2024

choosing the borg queen over elnor is the correct choice sorry if this offends

I feel like I missed something there, speaking of which. Why is Raffi in such hysterics?

because she sucks

imagine choosing between a good friend you were on an epic adventure with last season and BQ and the first thing Picard does is makes a snap judgment

I mean, it’s right, but damn

I don't think this season is reinventing any warp drives but so far it's been 3/3.

• Sorry mark no paintings this episode.
• The millennial who's writing Jurati's dialogue deserves a Q-damned promotion.
• Really liked the the psychological horror vibes in the Jurati/Queen scene even though it makes absolutely no sci-fi sense.
• I wonder if they're going to pay off the white lady privilege stuff with Seven (although it's really nice to see Jeri Ryan show charisma on a Trek show) (same goes with Rios, both with his charisma and with almost getting away with bluffing ICE because he was a dude being authoritative).
• I'm a little on the fence with this iteration of the Queen -- Alice Krige was vampy, Susanna Thompson was ethereal and spooky, but I'm not sure I have a strong read on Annie Wersching's yet (although admittedly she's only had half an episode to be lucid).

• easily the best alison pill episode
• absurd to let her do that without seven's supervision
• easily the best santiago cabrera episode
• borg queen has resting smirk face, and it's good

i feel like the Rios part of the plot is going to be a leadweight on an otherwise good story

tbh 2024 being generally shit even outside of this watcher/divergence in time business is going to be part of the backdrop and having one character have stakes in that is probably a necessity

is this going to be about brexit again? q changed timeline so that double brexit happens?

sorry to say it, but I think all of the screenwriters are american and virtually none of us give a crap about brexit. I’d estimate if you asked what “brexit” is on the street, the vast majority people would have no idea what that is

I’m obviously sympathetic and not in that group, but

counterpoint: brexit on infinite earths

i’d watch that, no matter how boring it’d be

isn’t that what dr who is

Don’t think I ever expected to see @KofmanMichael turn up in @PrivateEyeNews, but here we are. The crossover event of the year: pic.twitter.com/cs7nBeMDCu

ha theres an artist who does up a bunch of celebrities in old military garb like that (this is actually probably their work), my gf has a bunch of them in little prints (and a terrifying tim minchin one as our shower curtain)

y..you have Tim Minchin's face on your shower curtain!?

yes and its terrifying.

click if you dare

your gf is v. special

i like to think so! unless you mean it in the mean way in which case let me know so you can CATCH THIS FP

haha <3

I clicked and I now am full of regret.

OK this show is getting quite interesting! I figured out who Picard would encounter, it was pretty obvious. Bit baffled by Q's bit at the end. Trying to figure out whats going to happen!
