Riker's not going to die. I doubt any of the main cast do unless they kill off yet another Brent Spiner.

Look Geordie is definitely going to die due to exploding via catching mysterious explody diseases. That's almost a given at this point. (people will be sad for one scene then the plot line will be forgotten)

I'm firmly in the hate-watch position for Picard. I enjoy picking apart exactly how stupid every episode is. Picard gives me an energy of "what do I get to laugh at next?" so I'm all in baby.

They can't stop watching shows they don't like and crying about it on the internet. Posting addiction is real, my friend.

Hahaha JTT left in the last 2 seasons or so to focus on school, and he's had some errant low-key roles but I think doesn't care much about acting and who wants to be reminded they were on home improvement every media interview or appearance. One consequence of cursing yourself with the show is algorithm notifications and I think he and most other Home Improvement cast appear at least as Cameos on Last Man Standing. I can only imagine that Last Man Standing is even worse somehow than Home Improvement but that is exactly where I draw my line of self respect.

If youre already doing other poo poo with your life while the shows are on there's no real need to switch to something good only.

When you remember that Tim Allen was a drug dealer who turned state's evidence, everything else about him makes perfect sense. I just wish he'd loving stop, though. And I'd love to see JTT make a comeback.

Beverly has the biggest death flag on her out of everyone because of her secret son with Picard and the fact that fridging her with cause Character Drama for both Picard and the kid. So Crusher's probably a dead woman walking. The rest of the TNG crew stand a good chance of getting out of it in mostly one piece aside from Spiner as well because he'd love another Data* death scene just to really make sure we're loving done with Soong-esque homunculi cropping up in Trek shows ever again.

I can't think of a better SNW episode.

Eh, The Elysian Kingdom is a pretty worthy competitor to All The World's A Stage. But I agree, I'd put Prodigy ahead of SNW by a nose.

We know Picard goes on 7 of 9s ship, Riker is called Captain in the trailer, so Im hedging my bet its going to be him. Then again we all made guesses about season 2, and none of us could have guessed the bat poo poo that Kurtzmann coiled onto the floor of the studio floor.

Prodigy is legitimately a lot of fun, but I doubt I’d have watched it at all without the connections to 90s Trek. It’s no Clone Wars or Bad Batch.

Light Picard S3 spoilers: I’ve seen a handful of reviews now that, despite everything Matalas and the cast have been saying, imply that the full TNG crew doesn’t actually appear together in full until the end of episode 6. Which, if true…  Someone in marketing also spilled the beans on Ed Speelers’ character’s name; Jack Crusher. He’s also been mentioned as having an English accent. Which again, if true, absolutely hilarious for Beverly to name her secret son with Picard after the husband he got killed.

mllaneza posted:Lower Decks Picard's so bad, it has to look up to see hell. IDK, I'll probably watch S3 just because it's 10 episodes and then it's over. I had hoped they would right the ship with S2 after how bad S1 was. Then S2 happened. I don't really have that hope for S3. I'm not going to get fooled by Matalas' astroturfing campaign. If he makes canon anything really nasty like a main character getting killed in a gruesome or stupid way I'll never forgive him.

A lot of the positive press around Picard S3, including a few things people involved in its production have said, veers uncomfortably close to “[we’re/they’re] giving real Star Trek back to the fans!!!” territory for me, ala Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Rise of Skywalker, etc. I can’t remember who the reviewer was exactly, but someone summed it best as “I never asked for six hours of meaningless hey-remember-this fan service, I only asked for competent writing and if this is what they think Trek fans actually wanted then it’s both insulting and deeply depressing for the future of the franchise”. I’m paraphrasing, but you get the gist.

Also Picard is clearly and has been since about midway through Season 2, not the future of Star Trek but the last gasp of Star Trek's dwindling past. Terry Matalas isn't the man with the plan to lead Star Trek into the future, he's the caretaker at the retirement home waiting for his last charge to expire and then shut off the lights and go home. Mike McMahan, Henry Alonso Myers, and the Hageman Brothers are the folks who have Trek's future in their hands. Michelle Paradise is also maybe somewhere in the same zip code along with them, by WAAAAY off to the side so she isn't seen with the cool kids. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Feb 11, 2023 |
