Brawnfire posted:"Why Picard, I thought you might be comfortable speaking peer-to-peer. Or does seeing my face all tired and wrinkled make you think too much of your impending death? Can't say I know the feeling, but I imagine it's... mortifying." Whoa, that is spot on. skasion posted:Toshiro Mifune as a Klingon is such a great idea that it could have carried absolutely everything else about the movie. Even if they crammed in the Spock killing JFK thing or w/e I watched this and when I got to the 0:54 mark I was like, "yep." Lizard Combatant posted:Yeah it has a "mixed" rating on imdb so I assumed reviews were out but it's just people who've seen it and liked it (lot of 10/10s, so take that with a grain of salt. I can count the number of perfect score shows on one hand) and straight up poo poo for brains who haven't seen it giving it zero stars because Stewart's an America hating communist. So basically no useful info yet. Well if you throw out all the 10s and 1s it looks good. You could even throw out the 9s.

Lizard Combatant posted:Actually I just went back and checked out the imdb reviews, aside from the couple of 10s and 1s there's a single review from someone who's actually seen the show. It's a positive review at least... There's a lot more than one up there now, and almost all of the negative reviewers are either transparently trolling or are pretty obviously imbeciles. I gotta say I am feeling extremely optimistic at this point. angerbeet posted:Nerdist says it's going to be midnight (PST  gently caress yeah! CBS itself is confirming this.

Holy moley that was fantastic! loving FINALLY, some quality Star Trek again. The drought has finally ended. If I wasn't so drat tired I probably would wept with joy a bit. Looks like most of those 10s on imdb are authentic. E: Whoa check out the ratings for the individual episode. Hipster_Doofus fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Jan 23, 2020 |

Re: RLM Re:view... I generally like (and agree) with them but this was a bigger hitpiece than what that future interviewer attacked Picard with. And terribly less effective. They went way out of their way to not just pan it, but outright poo poo all over it and they didn't do it well at all. No idea what bugs crawled up their butts, but if RLM can't tear something apart enough to convert you from loving it to hating it, no one can. TL;DR: Picard good, and RLM are gettin' too  for their own good.

Watching ep 2 now. I'm noticing (and am pleased by) a lot of the soundtrack being reminiscent of Caprica. I feel more than fairly sure that's not a coincidence. It's got strong shades of nostalgia, which suit a spinoff well, whether a sequel or a prequel. FE: Not the opening theme, mind you (which may or may not be a coincidence), I mean the incidental music.

My take is that STP was a disjointed and poorly executed show that nevertheless had many enjoyable moments. I don't regret watching it but otoh I'll likely never re-watch it because I know it just never really comes together, therefore a second viewing is p much a waste of time that could be much better spent.

I can be very forgiving of a new show's flaws, and I pretty much enjoyed Picard enough to not regret watching (though I'll likely not re-watch it), but yeah... that whole scene just pissed me off with its nonsensicality. In fact I'm hard pressed to think of a scene I hated more, atm.

Drink-Mix Man posted:One interesting route they could go with it is whether or not robo Picard counts as the same person. Will Starfleet still recognize his commission and rank? Ia he still recognized as the original JL Picard under the law, who owns a vineyard and all of JL's physical and intellectual property? Does this set the precendent that all uploaded consciousnesses are legally different people when divorced from their meat bodies, and forced to forfeit whatever entitlements, properties, or priveleges, they may have held when in those meat bodies? Just lol if you think they're going to put that much thought into it.

Oh god I cringed so hard I think I sprained something. I would almost rather re-watch both seasons of disco plus season 3, Picard, and ( ) Nemesis than give this aggressively, offensively unfunny trash even one chance. Mercifully that's almost, because I long ago promised myself I'd never watch Nemesis again.

In the spirit which you asked, no it's really not. But if you sometimes enjoy hatewatching, you just might love it. Also it does have really great isolated moments here and there and a few great characters (Michael is not one of them, but Christopher Pike definitely is), so a hatewatch would at least be rewarded with that.
