FlamingLiberal posted:What, you didn’t enjoy the episode where Picard and Guinan get arrested and spend the entire episode in a small room the whole time? Which has no impact on anything? Oh, the one where the cop that was interrogating them had the same name and was played by the same actor as one of the time cops from Voyager, and how everyone was extremely excited that there was finally going to be a big twist in the time travel part of the plot, and then it turned out to be just a fun little wink at the audience with no plot relevance whatsoever? Great episode, in that I was on the edge of my seat the entire time waiting for the reveal to finally happen.

He didn't have the same name, he had a name that could have been linked if you were looking for connections but it was just a coincidence.

xerxus posted:Daniel Davis ( Moriarty) revealed that he is in (episode count) only one episode, 3x06 in an interview. This is honestly what I was expecting. Big Bad probably frees him to distract or try to kill Picard, and they defeat him in the same episode.

HD DAD posted:As lovely as S2 was, Spiner did have a few scenes where he was genuinely terrifying. He plays sociopaths very well. That is one annoying part of the PIC, S2 especially, I think that the borg lady also did wonderful job with her role, and they all are good actors, working on a piss-poor implementation of the few quite interesting concepts and ideas they had. PatStew is one of the executive producers with veto on everything, so blame goes to show runners, and him. Its a season-long TNG movie. You watch it once, like maybe few parts of it, but overall go with "well, that was stupid waste of time" and move forward. There is no reason to revisit those episodes, and it doesn't change the overall setup that much.

They are going to use the DNA of Picard's greatest adversaries through history: Moriarty, Sela, Lore, children, Q, Tomalak, to create the ultimate Cobra leader - the dread Serpentor!

Oh, you're right, Martin Wells was named after the Wells-class timeship Relativity, and the Voyager character was Lieutenant Ducane. Much less egregious, especially in a show where they keep using the same actors to play different characters that really shouldn't look exactly the same (Soji/Kore, Laris/Tallin, Soong/Soong). Still a huge tease, though.

Everyone posted:I haven't seen a single episode of Picard and that trailer did not make me wish to change that. Well, like I said the PIC seasons are 8 hour TNG movies, or in general like those Kelvin movies; something you might watch once if the opportunity arises and there isn't anything else unwatched ST at hand, but you really aren't any better off by doing so. Only thing I actually think was really unsalvageable was that Space Legolas, he is completely unneeded "I studied blade"-guy from the other scifi, and until today ST didn't have to asspull reasons why space swords are just better. Its quite like first watching the recommended list of TOS episodes, getting bored, and then watching the other half. And TOS had the excuse of being groundbreaker so they could do hit and miss stuff and it would be unfair to go too harsh against those episodes that ended up being duds.

They're totally going to bring Data back by giving him Lore's body, aren't they Then he and Picard can talk about the experience of dying and being unexpectedly yoinked back from oblivion and stuffed into a positronic body which was originally built for someone else

We get this whole flashback wrap-around in that episode for a character who is only in that one episode and has no real bearing on the plot. The show just grinds to a halt for an episode that is entirely filler.

I know that as an executive producer he probably has say in hiring of actors regardless, but if he likes the actor so much, why would he offer him such a loving thankless role as Special Agent Time Waster?

"Is a hasperat a soufflé?" is the 24th century incarnation of "is a hot dog a sandwich?" that curses their internet at regular intervals just like ours In googling the word I noticed a surprising number of hasperat recipes on the usual recipe sites, which is to say, more than one

Plus, James Callis was the only actor I remember from Picard S2 who actually elevated the material with their performance. The few times he was on-screen, it was actually interesting. (I suppose the borg queen did that a bit at first too, but with diminishing returns.) You'd think Patrick Stewart and John DeLancie would be capable of this as well, but alas
