I think I see where the problem is. some turd in a star trek thread on a long dead comedy website called me basic, oh no whatever shall I do??!!?!?!?! I have a hard time watching Voyager because I read the books first and being stranded so far away from everything and everyone you know and love is legit terrifying.

Azathoth posted:Voyager was stuck in this weird place where the writers didn't seem to want to do massive story arcs, at least initially, despite the show's very premise making it much harder to simply reset to a neutral place. Rick Berman mandated zero continuity and "sonic wallpaper" for music, because otherwise people would get confused during syndication re-runs. Also that the Maquis vs Federation divide (you know, one of the core precepts of the show) be put to bed by the third episode because zero continuity.

The original plan the Voyager writers had for season 4 or 5 of Voyager was that about four or or five episodes in they'd have the two-parter Year of Hell but it would take place over a month or two and Voyager would stay wrecked (probably not as badly as in the actual episode), and then the entire rest of the season Voyager would be limping along in terrible condition and getting clowned on by everyone and at the end of the year they'd find allies and manage to patch up, maybe leave a few scars. There's this anecdote of the writers getting excited about all the possibilities and spending days planning the pitch and coming up with episodes and then watching Braga go into a meeting with Berman and then come out just depressed and saying to them 'one two-parter, the ship is back to normal at the end'.

The quality of any Trek series is directly proportional to the number of Jeffrey Combs guest spots. By this measure, DS9 is clearly the best Trek, followed by Enterprise, then who gives a poo poo really

I liked a lot of Picard up until the last couple episodes, and the fact that there was absolutely no reason to do a second season. I really loved the core idea of the psychic message not meant for mortals that drives people insane. It was still the best new Trek in many years, though that is damning with faint praise.

I think what gets me about Picard... I remember looking at TNG Picard as a kid and thinking this is someone whose life and accomplishments were something I would aspire to, if I could choose my Action Future. Picard show Picard... If my life looked like his and my arc shaped like that, I'd be more disappointed by my life than my own real life

I thought his arc was still kind of positive in the sense that it's basically saying you can always work to turn things around, even if you've spent 10-20 years loving up. A lot of the reactions to Picard remind me of this friend I had that kept complaining about X Men 2 when it came out, saying "no one wants to see super heroes cry!" (Referring to Jean Gray's death sequence.) I guess no one wants to see their space heroes fall from grace in their winter years either.

If anything, I don't think they examined the unglamorous winter years *enough*. I can find joy, hope, and pride in a character whose time is long past, as long as what they have feels like their own. I don't feel as though the Picard series story was Picard's, overall, it felt like another story stapled to Picard. I got so little sense that this story was actually driven by Picard, that his actions were ones he would take, it rang hollow. I want to like it, I really do. The idea of years of disappointment and regret leading to a point of resurgence, where Picard pins his hopes on one last deed of Starfleet spirit, is an appealing one. This just wasn't it. I'll keep pratce

I think there could have been a good show in 'icard, and I think there could have been a good show with the idea of an admiral who overstays his career and ends it on a sour note. They did show him in a few scenes still being recognized as a respected officer by a few people (the nuns, the han solo lookalike, riker and troi, hugh, I think seven of nine was positive on him?). But the rest of 'card was just not a well made show (imo) and would have been better if: Brawnfire posted:I got so little sense that this story was actually driven by Picard, that his actions were ones he would take, it rang hollow. it felt like a more personal journey rather than a plotline that mr. picard was thrown in to. oh well, it's a shame, maybe we'll see how it goes on the next season 'ard, which I'm not sure why they want to make.

You should sincerely go play Mass Effect instead if you have not already, because that's what Picard's blatantly ripping off.
