Crossposting Picard's showrunner's thoughts from TVIV because I want to see what you guys think of this: https://trekmovie.com/2020/02/24/star-trek-picard-showrunner-michael-chabon-responds-to-more-fan-questions-plus-frakes-interviewed-and-more/ quote:Concerns about the level violence in Picard: I suppose I admire him for bothering to post his reasoning behind some of the creative choices they've made but I feel like something doesn't add up here and it's just beyond my ability to form words about beyond "this gives me douche chills"

I think stuff like the dolly parton nebula assault episode elevate it a bit above SG1, it's a decent show and I like the fact that there are dumb jokes in it that don't always land instead of tryhard edginess that basically never lands Stargate as a concept is ruined for me because as an adult I understand that no branch of the US military or any other world superpower would ever give a poo poo about not committing war crimes especially if any evidence of their misdeeds is on alien planets behind a top secret wormhole gateway that only they control Like, by the end of the franchise the US China and Russia have all built FTL capable space battleship carriers with space superiority fighter support and enhanced nuclear weapons that can lay waste to the surface of an entire world, and it's all locked away and all this magical technology is kept from the world's population. my gently caress what a nightmare

My favourite part of the show is how there are about 5 minutes of actual story per each 45-minute episode, and the rest of the runtime is padding or callbacks to something you remember from 30 years ago This is quality storytelling in the year 2020, apparently

Yeah it would be cool if Star Trek would have something to say beyond idealism is foolish and pragmatic shittiness is the inevitability of the future but that might piss off some of the loudest fans

They are making these shows now for the kind of people that still spend money on the MMO, I'll finish the rest of this season but I doubt I'll be back for the next

Do not pay money to consume Star Trek material anymore. Star Trek 1960: the present is piss but the future sure isn't Star Trek 2020: doesn't drinking all this piss make you feel like a grown up with your own life?

It was certainly better than last week's, except for everything having to do with the main plot.

There is a basis for decent Star Trek game in STO's space combat unfortunately it's all buried under grindy MMO bullshit

I seriously can't believe they lifted the plot from Mass Effect. Sheer loving hubris

# ¿ Mar 28, 2020 03:06 |

I have no attachment to Mass Effect, I played the demo of the second one I think? Just never found the time to get into it even though it seemed right up my alley, but I absorbed enough about those games through cultural osmosis to recognize when it's straight up being ripped off like how am I supposed to take anything Chabon or anyone else who made this show says about it seriously? They had to have known what they were doing. I can't believe anybody at that level of the production actually cares about what they're making after having seen them pull that, and that's ignoring all the other problems the show has. I used to say Picard at least started off ok but the more I think about it the more that was just wishful thinking/nostalgia on my part, and after seeing the ending I have no trust in the creative team to do better. That was a 10-hour Voyager fanfic from 2003 with a modest budget.

Bargearse posted:And like the Disney Star Wars movies, when they try to do something new and interesting, and try to break away from the nostalgia or at least try to be creative with how they use it, the fans drat near riot and demand more mindless action strung together with empty nostalgia. There was nothing new or creative here.

Bogus Adventure posted:I just checked in on this thread because I forgot that this show existed during with the COVID drama playing out in real life. Based on the comments on this page, loving at this show and that CBS already paid for 3 seasons. Given the severity of everything that's happening what are the odds any of that ever gets filmed glad to know I'm not just a demented old guy that can't follow a story, this show really was pretty terrible

piratepilates posted:did Picard have humour elements? I don't remember that at all. Every time I think of this show I laugh a little at what an incoherent, irrelevant and plagiarized mess it ended up being. Unintentional or not that is technically a comedic element

oh but seriously I posted:I mostly liked the last two episodes of The Picard Show but I was in a fevered dream state and I feel that nothing good can come of me going back to check You don't know that! My first introduction to Farscape was a weekend marathon on our sci fi channel during which I was also bedridden and delirious with a high fever. 12 hours of semi-conscious exposure to freaky space BDSM muppets later and I was officially hooked enough to keep watching the latest season when I was feeling better. granted that was a good show, your mileage with this one may vary

he seriously is and from what I've read/heard he's got a great attitude, but the last two shows they've pumped out made Enterprise look interesting by comparison so ya'll are gonna have to go first this time dreamy or not I still couldn't make it to the end of Hell on Wheels
