whatsapp conflab re picard
whatsapper 1: Picard has been enormously divisive amongst ST long term investorswhatsapper 1: And hint is that it is full on sliding to deridedmark s: s1 was a silly mess but it was also reasonably excitingwhatsapper 2: S3 of Picard has had a trail announcing basically all of TNG cast except for Wesley in itwhatsapper 3: I thought TNG was The Night Garden for a second which would be much better. Good old MakkaPakkamark s: i wonder a bit how much my not enjoying it is bcz i am so very spotty in TNG lore (eg there's possibly a big FIRST CONTACT (1996) callback) (as well as to the whale movie). FIRST CONTACT but its the ppl of the night garden wd be a solid twist tbf

your whatsapp person who thinks Wesley is a character of note in TNG is RONG
― mh, Saturday, 16 April 2022 14:18 (two years ago) link
I still think he should come back in one of these damn shows though, he's a fucking time traveller now he can come back to any of them!

(and also I do feel bad for how shat on Weaton was by TNG)

The big satisfying reveal in Picard is going to be that Dr. Soong based his face on a weird head he dug up in San Francisco.— Ben Lesnick (@banditloaf) April 22, 2022

raffi sucks so hard. i might even prefer neelix
― mookieproof, Friday, 22 April 2022 17:37 (two years ago) link
I don’t MIND her but her whole vibe is Ray Winstone’s character from the fourth Indiana Jones movie, the alleged friend and colleague of many years with a dynamic that forces that issue instead of reflecting it.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 22 April 2022 17:41 (two years ago) link
i think her being a counterpoint to Seven makes her suckiness even more pronounced
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 22 April 2022 17:50 (two years ago) link
It was kind of dumb, but the scene where Seven tossed a glass bottle on the ground to see what it felt like was funny‘hmm yeah, that made me feel something. she’s chasing endorphins”
― mh, Friday, 22 April 2022 20:03 (two years ago) link
it was but she shd have tossed a second bottle as they left the scene and like shivered or something
― mark s, Friday, 22 April 2022 22:29 (two years ago) link
maybe at raffi

Q is annoying but he's right abt humans (these ones)
ears pricked up when he said "i prepared myself to be enveloped in the warm glow of memeing" (but he said "meaning", so as you were, the show remains shitpost-free)

Should I bother with this season? Seemed like y’all were into it initially… maybe not so much now
― Chuck_Tatum, Saturday, 23 April 2022 19:21 (two years ago) link
I think if you're willing to stop watching after episode 4, maybe, because that seems to be the traditional shark jumping point.

Not that the script was much help, but this season is at least teaching me that Brent Spiner is not a very good actor, at least when it comes to drama.
― Born Sleeepy (Nuxx) (Leee), Saturday, 23 April 2022 20:24 (two years ago) link
ditto sirpatstew imo :(
― mark s, Saturday, 23 April 2022 20:29 (two years ago) link
shouty faustian spiner is ..not greatbut i think he’s a good actor normally? having to be a robot for that long surely does something to your sense of the dramatic idk
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 23 April 2022 23:04 (two years ago) link
i feel like oldpatstew is just being old & delivering lines vs being old & being picard & delivering linesits a bit like he’s going to ask when’s dinner or when will my granddaughter be visiting etci feel mean saying that bc i love himdespite everything i still kinda like this season. it’s not driving me to drink like Discovery did with its feelings

How dare you criticize THE FEELS. (This may explain a certain generational split in the fandom I've noticed, but kinda hoping Strange New Worlds is the sop for the rest of us.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 23 April 2022 23:34 (two years ago) link
indeed! i am not ashamed to say i am kind of putting all of my hopes on captain pike & crew to do what disco could not. i mean there was so much unpacking they could have charged a per episode copay we shall see
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 24 April 2022 00:21 (two years ago) link
yeah unfortunately i think sirpatstew may be beyond it at this point. no shame; he is 81 ffs
worried that season 3 will demonstrate that all of them are beyond it
― mookieproof, Sunday, 24 April 2022 01:16 (two years ago) link
he is 81 ffs
but the paymasters are still willing to cut the cheque and so... excelsior!

I did however appreciate that while I was thinking "Hold on didn't he see his mother in that first season TNG episode?" he then specifically mentions the memories he constructed of her which applied to that very episode.

Well, that was a season finale.

First season, I bailed after 4 episodes. This season, I bailed after 2 episodes. Judging by comments, I made the right decision again.

i guess i’m glad wil wheaton got thrown a bone — it sounds like he got shafted by rick berman et al back in the day — but watching him act is just painful
― mookieproof, Thursday, 5 May 2022 23:05 (two years ago) link
It was, how you say, just enough.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 May 2022 00:49 (two years ago) link
xp fair, but keep that away from my show
also, they divorced it completely from the plot so lol
― mh, Friday, 6 May 2022 03:01 (two years ago) link
I will finish it but yeah that episode inside Picard's head urrrrgh
Now I'll admit I've only seen stray TNG but not only does an emotionally repressed Men Would Rather Explore Space Than Go To Therapy Picard feel out of character, surely medical advances would have been sufficient by the time of Picard's childhood that his mum wouldn't have to be kept in some gothic basement because of her depression like it's the 19th century? The show's insistence on portraying Picard's childhood as being the early 20th century drives me up the wall.
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 6 May 2022 09:29 (two years ago) link
I'm sorry, but I FEEL VINDICATED I have been banging on about Wesley showing up because he's a traveller in both this and Disco for AGES. I yelped when he showed up.
I found this episode very satisfying!
