When the Borg cube showed up I thought some poo poo was going down but now it was face down in the dirt like 2 minutes later. Picard said "I'm dying but shut the gently caress up fam" and everykne made it so. Next minute they go for a nice walk and find the borg are busy trying to make lunch. Then they find robo paradise then Soong Jr. turns up and says "bro I look like fat Data lmao". What the hell is this show.

Borg cube got owned by pacifist space flowers that didn't have any weapons or shields.

I can't remember, did they even try to shoot the space flowers? Those things look like they'd go down easy.

I like how when the little tiny nimble romulan ship starts shooting at them their ship immediately does a barrel roll to avoid the bolts but the flowers show up and its drawn out over like 2 minutes of screen time and they just sit there doing nothing.

They also apparently burn with fire so seems like one arc of phasers would have been worth a shot, but I guess they cut power and nothing uses batteries anymore and it disabled all backups.

Why do they keep calling non synths 'organics' when in fact the synths are organic? I guess the female synths are all made with the vagene down there like in Ex Machina. Even the gold painted ones.

Us organics get thirsty, we're not all machines!" What? Machines? And they don't drink water? I'm pretty sure the writers never decided what a synth is and they just wing it from episode to episode. Sometimes they're like Data, sometimes they're exactly like a person, sometimes they're somewhere in between.

I'm still getting over the clip of Discovery I saw on the RLM review, apparently the main character dons an anime angel space suit at some point. Like, I'd be mad but ok if Star Trek did something I didn't like if it actually meant something, but it's just random plasticky visual ideas since the first Abrams movie.

If synths are so completely indistinguishable from humans that Dahj’s bf couldn’t even tell she was a robot, what would be the point of making them? Just have a baby, it’s easier. Data was a unique lifeform with a different way of looking at the world. Until plot happened, Dahj and the other one were just lovely boring teenagers. What’s the motivation

The whole Borg thing is so poorly written and ultimately unrelated to the main plot it's like they had to have a legal amount of Borg in the show to get a tax credit.

It's going to end with a super borg cube the size of the sun turning up for no reason to shoot lasers everywhere. Picard will turn into Locutus again for some vaguely defined reason and ram the super borg cube with thousands of regular sized borg cubes, leading to his heroic death. Some minor character with no character development turns out to be the main protagonist all along and is set up for season 2. Season 2 never gets produced.

Ending 2: Completely out of money for the final episode the actors turn up to work in their personal attire. They get driven to the first empty bit of desert outside city limits and pretend they're on the distant exotic world of Xanthuor. Or Xergon. Something with an X. They film a wild west themed episode using a seemingly abandoned service station as the location without permission from the owner. All laser/phaser shooting has the guns held slightly off camera so they don't have to call back the VFX person they let go the previous week. Synths all look a bit off because they're down to doing their own make-up now since that artist was also let go and they don't have enough gold skin to go around, plus some of the eye contacts went missing. Picard dies from snake bite tragically. Completely co-incidentally Patrick Stewart hasn't been seen in public since. Season 2 never gets produced.

This utterly fails to explain why each episode feels like it was handled by five different writers handling one scene each.

When Picard gave that big speech about how he'll convince Star Fleet to overturn the synth ban it really showed off the character's "self doubt, self-examination, recognition of ones limitations and shortcomings". Oh wait no, it made Picard look like a loving idiot who hadn't been paying attention for the last 9 episodes. I half expected that Star Fleet admiral to show up in the crowd and say, "Shut the gently caress up!" again.

There should be a show called Star Trek: Kirk. It should be about him going around and macking on green skinned Orion chicks. That'd fuckin rule.

Kirk is 100% the better Captain than Picard. He doesn't let things like the Prime Directive or space STDs get in the way of a good time.

With all the other characters talking to Picard like “Aww geez Picard, got in trouble again eh? Who is it this time? You run your mouth again, huh? Which admiral did you piss off this time you old scoundrel????” I wouldn’t be surprised if all the writers mixed up Picard and Kirk and then just ran with it when their homework was due
