Star Trek: Picard

[YJ02]

Casting Wil Wheaton was payback I think for him being possibly the biggest NuTrek shill out there. The funny thing is he USED to have a lot of geek cred but things like taking the wrong side in Gamergate, hanging with Anita Sarkeesian (a con artist) and relentless wokeness torched his credibility.

so.. pity casting?

More like he BEGGED to be in the show.

so i know you are not that into these shows, but looking at it objectively, his character being reintroduced is really just a big nothing, isn't it?

it was good exit for him in the 80's and a good "feed the guy something" now bit part, yeah?

no impact on the plot-- again, objectively speaking?

It was confirmed that Star Trek Picard season 3 will feature the return of much of the cast from Star Trek The Next Generation including LeVar Burton Michael Dorn Jonathan Franks Marina Sirtis Gates McFadden and Brent Spiner. Star Trek Picard season 3 is shaping up more to be the final chapter for Star Trek The Next Generation and offer a more fitting end to the characters than Star Trek Nemesis. Sadly this emphasis on the old crew means there is no space for the new characters of Star Trek Picard.

I don't have any issues with Wesley being brought on as a Traveler. He was not my favorite character on TNG for sure, but I like the actor himself, he was great on TBBT and it does ring true as something that could happen in the future for his character's cannon.
I think the show is still finding itself and as long as a few of the main characters remain, it might not be a bad things for a change of some of the characters. The show is called "Picard" so really, that is the only character that needs to remain. If they bring the Wesley character onboard as a traveler we could be looking at many more time travels eps both to the past and the future.

It was stupid.

 

[Atlantis]

It was stupid.

This show is pretending to act smart, edgy and nostalgic and cannon but fails miserably short all of them.

 

[Joelist]

Well Season Two had possibly the dumbest writing i have seen since the SGU days...

 

[Atlantis]

LOL!! this scene of data hitting picard with a Tesla is so fake. At one point it looks like Picard was actually pushing the girl towards the car and them him getting by the car is so fake he is literally metres away from the car View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou2LdZNmCsY

Its funny, they used the Traveler in TNG to get rid of Wil Wheaton from the cast (IMO). Suddenly, he is swept away into an alternate existence and his mother just lets him do it and its done. POOF! He's gone. Essentially he is doing the same thing wit Isa Briones, and POOF she is gone. Reliable sources tell me that the reason so many cast members are leaving is because they need to pay the TNG actors and there is not enough cash. S3 is the last season.

He WAS ALREADY a traveler once he left with The Traveler in Wheaton's "I am too old for child acting now" departure from tng

Season 3 slated for February.

 

[Shadow Mann]

Season 3 sl+

ated for February.

I have discussed S3 with Robert Meyer Burnett and a few others over at Twitter, and he describes it as "Season 8 of TNG". I find that extremely dubious, given that Terry Matalas is the sole showrunner. He was the showrunner of S2 as well, which was absolutely awful IMO. Worf is a pacifist? How is he on this show, and why is Seven of Nine or Raffi on the ship? Why is there an Enterprise F, and why is it the one from the Star Trek Online game? I am not going to waste my time on this. The TNG cast will destroy the characters they had no hand in creating.

Season three starting this Thursday!

Season three starting this Thursday!

finally some alignment! of course no one planned

will have, out 'fresh' at one time, MANDO S3, PICARD and BAD BATCH 2nd half of S2

So Picard Season 3 premiered Thursday. Initial thoughts:

- Better written in general. The characters from TNG also felt closer to their actual TNG selves.

- The Titan looks nice from the outside as did spacedock.

- Not insulting to Trek fans like the last 2 seasons

On the other hand...

- ANOTHER mystery box story.

- Literally too dark. So far the only NuTrek show not to have the ship interiors lit like some Gothic horror set is Strange New Worlds. What is their problem with lighter tones of color?

- Raffi is there. Why wasn't she also gotten rid of?

This series is supposed to be a big improvement, but being serialized there is no way to tell after one installment. Time will tell.

isn't the "dark mode" with ALL of these sci fi/ fantasy type shows on TV all just attempts- whether TPTBs are even aware of it or not any longer, of mimicking NuBSG?

we saw it with SGU and with CAPRICA, which although was BSG realted did not require the "darkness". I think just about every other show as well has been doing this
