“Hey Jean Luc remember a couple April fools days ago when those guys tried to convince you you were a robot? What a ridiculous thing they expected you to believe. Well anyways…(Season 2 resumes as normal)” There I fixed the show, hire me Paramount.

I did have a headcanon excuse for the queen in first contact. It's unclear how many Borg made it onto the enterprise initially, so they have little processing power to work with between the drones. They're also cut off from the rest of the collective, so these drones are isolated in ways that Borg aren't used to. So, they create a "leader" type who will focus on prioritizing tasks and tactics, since their usual overwhelming force and knowledge of billions of assimilated beings isn't available right now. Let the drones do drone things, let the queen make up for the greater collective consciousness of the Borg. But then the queen showed up in voyager. And was implied to be the same character (same actress for some episodes, look-alike for others). So did the Borg assimilate a bunch of twins to be the queen, or do they manufacture a new identicle Queen whenever one explodes?

Oh there's definitely multiple iterations even though they share at least some kind of memory through the rest. I'm not sure how fleshed out the details and mechanics of all that are, since Voyager was the show that seemed to lean most into that, and that's the show I've seen the least of.

Critic ratings for this show are 90% positive on Rotten Ts? Why? I’d guess the reviews are mostly: “Show say Trump bad, so show is Good”.

All "top critic" reviews are from March 3 - did they get to watch the whole season in advance? The rest are a bunch of jabronis. also lol: quote:Picard gets some backup from franchise fan favorites in a sophomore season that charts a course towards recapturing more of the classical Star Trek spirit and makes it so.

Mulaney Power Move posted:All "top critic" reviews are from March 3 - did they get to watch the whole season in advance? The rest are a bunch of jabronis. They got screeners for the first three episodes. This has happened with most of the trek series, although strange new worlds had five episodes in screeners. I have the conspiracy theory that they front load the budget and intriguing plot ideas for the first few episodes and cheap out on the rest to scam reviewers. But it might just be the classic "our media outlet can't be too harsh, too often or else we wont get screeners anymore" conflict of interest.

Its also thanks to streaming; if the first episode or two is intriguing, people talk, other people subscribe. Doesn't matter how poo poo the rest of the show is, since once someone is subscribed they are very unlikely to cancel their subscription. I can't find the stats on it, but I remember reading a while back that something like 3/4 of netflix's income comes from people who don't use netflix.

In a way, this show demonstrates how good an actor Patrick Stewart is. I always assumed his personality was similar to Picard and he worked hard on TNG because he identified with the character. I now realise he's just a talented actor who should never be given any creative control because his own ideas are terrible. p.s. I can't judge him too harshly, given his work with women's shelters and PTSD sufferers. Plucky Brit fucked around with this message at 22:08 on May 5, 2022 |

Man I really want it to be something I like, but they're just gonna seamlessly transition me into watching a second show I get angry at, aren't they. It's getting really good reviews (both audience and critic) so I'm hopeful. Though I was also hopeful for Picard after reading the reviews and well....

My friend showed me the first episode of The Man Who Fell To Earth, another Alex Kurtzman production, and I enjoyed it well enough. The problem is, there's no guarantee that the later episodes won't go completely off the rails. Everything about this season of Picard sounds utterly ill-conceived. I thought maybe I would one day binge-watch these last two seasons as part of a Patrick Stewart career retrospective, but no, it seems like the whole show is best avoided entirely.

I liked the first season. I'm not particularly beholden to any one vision of Star Trek, it had an interesting hook (if sometimes shaky execution) and I liked that they attempted to cast decent actors instead of a talented captain surrounded by out of work soap opera filler. This season though is just a wreck. It's stuffed with 15 different ideas for a good season, with minimal time given to flesh out anything. I think I'd really enjoy a season about the Europa mission with Rios and the clinic doctor as a B story. But they kept adding more and more stories, then fan service, then the Borg and I just can't care about any of it. Side note: I always found the futuristic anachronism of Picard's family life to be weird and off putting. Like was there an Earth wide trend to dress and speak like 1930's aristocrats? Can't we invent new cultural products in our pew pew spaceship show?

Even without Patric Stewart having creative influence over the thing it's still being helmed by Alex Kurtzmann and Akiva Goldsman.ElHuevoGrande posted:Side note: I always found the futuristic anachronism of Picard's family life to be weird and off putting.

Was that an "always" thing or just the writers of this show not knowing what else French people should look like?
