In high school I had a probably five inch thick biography on Lincoln that was from the 70s or 80s I think... Went into the ENTIRE life up until his death and that man was certainly no friend to blacks. The whole idea of freeing them was a military strategy first and foremost.

The revisionist tripe they teach now is criminal.
 
It looks like Paramount+ kinda forgot again to include Shatner's Kirk on the promo material.

They may have, but I didn't....

Like others have said, TNG doesn't fully get rolling until Season 3 but I don't think it's a bad thing to power through the first two seasons. There's still a lot of character development.
 
Yeah but I tried that and got bored to death by Encounter at Farpoint, then I took Rich Evans' suggestion on The Measure of a Man and that was great
RLM is dead wrong on Conspiracy though. That episode was a prototype of how later TNG episodes would be paced and what kind of tone they would have, head explosion aside.

YOU HAVE NO HONOR
can't appreciate In The Pale Moonlight unless you see The Planet Of The Negros and The Planet Of Killing Wesley And Fucking
 
No, he died. There's a TV show about his replicant, though it's on its last season so about to die, too.
Loved the scene where Oi, Nigel Crusher innit? was like "he's a robot" and Riker is like "he's the same person".

No, my guy. He's literally not. Dude is a toaster.


That feeling when you're watching a classic episode and then realize the Klingon captain is Stephen Root.
Don't forget Paul Sorvino

He would program the hasperat so thin it would dematerialize at the replicator station.

RLM are Star Wars fans, not Star Trek fans, because for Gen-X on a basic level you have to choose one or the other. They are people who readily claim they didn't start watching TNG until S3 and they were old enough at the time when it was premiering to decide what they wanted to watch. That's a huge red flag and I wouldn't trust any opinions about S1-S2 of TNG or perhaps even their whole take on TNG. It's not like they were catching it after it had finished and were being told "it doesn't get good until S3" which is the standard take. No, they chose to ignore the show for two years and it was a massive hit basically from day 1 that just got better. There was nothing else on tv like it. They would somehow have people believe that they knew the show was campy and 80's at the time, when they didn't. No one did. That's a retcon opinion. So they would have been telling Star Trek to fuck off in favor of what exactly? Full House? 21 Jump Street? The Highwayman?

They were telling TNG to fuck off in favor of Star Wars. It's a very strange opinion to have because none of them are old enough to be TOS fans put off by the new series nor are they young enough to really believe the >muh first two seasons meme. Seems more like they weren't watching it because they were Star Wars fans looking down on Star Trek until it "got good" meaning they switched sides and just don't want to admit it.
 
you know what I mean
I do but it is pretty funny sometimes.

Another fun trivia note, though I haven't been able to confirm this yet, is that apparently when Voyager first started the screwed up and continued the TNG episode numbering system. So like instead of the pilot being episode 101 (1st season, episode 1), it's 801 (IIRC). Took a bit to straighten out if I understand correctly.

Ah I found a clue on memory alpha:

Maybe it was just the pilot, but I'm still looking for clues. They apparently screwed up worse than I thought - instead of TNG season 8, they were just continuing season 7.
 
Divert all avalible power to life support and gather the crew into shared spaces, we only have 4 hours left.
10 min later 'computer activate holodeck programme ten forward'.

Right I'm done.
None of the OG crew act like the OG crew, they are different characters wearing skinsuits. The writing is terrible. There's no consistency within each episode.
Latest episode was literally
Picard remembers things
Shaw reveals he's butthurt about Picard having been Locutus
The evil woman chops off her arm to communicate with Supreme commander Snoke.
They escape from the nebula on a contraction wave as it gives birth to space jellyfish.

At least the show is self aware about what watching a full season of it is like.

 
Four episodes of a single scenario, unbelievable. But that's ok because everyone was in awe of the space octopii, not to be confused with the jellyfish from Encounter at Farpoint that get a name check. They don't talk to the jellyfish, they just blast off. Why didn't they do that at the start of episode two? Nebula something something I don't know. The light of the nebula through Shaw's windows woke him up in episode one, but that light is nowhere once the Titan loses power, even in that hallway with all the windows.

Boring personal quarrels (you all called it--Shaw was at Wolf 359), Jack's limey accent he learned "in college," blasters instead of phasers, awful music. Seven knows that pot is slang for marijuana, but only as a joke. Why would a Changeling have a special resting-pot they have to hide, and not just use whatever was handy? They leave so called resi-goo behind, really?

Picard drops the f-bomb. Vadic's evil master Slime-Hand has a generic anime bad guy voice. Changeling's non-creative use of shape shifting abilities. Ship has no power, so let's hang out on the holodeck. ("We can't reroute power from anywhere, sir!")

Crusher actually uses her skills/knowledge to get the Titan out of peril. Seven and Shaw put their differences aside to make Crusher's theory work. There is some Star Trek buried in this slop but sifting it out is getting more burdensome on my mental capacities.

No Rafi or Worf this episode. I bet we see a lot of them next week.

Oh god, so many 21st C swears and slangs...dick, asshole, fuck, dipshit...so Trek like!
The only person acting this and having fun is Vadic, but she's just imitating her dad from TUC the whole way.
 
You know, if this was the first season of Picard I'd be much less forgiving for the stuff they pull. First seasons in TV always tend to be weird, experimental art type of deals. But we're three seasons into this slop and it ain't going anywhere. What a waste.

I guess the critics who were creaming themselves over 'wow Trek is back to how it should have been!' were suffering from some kind of brain disease.
Oh when the baddies ship ejaculated the portal gun because of plot device, it zooms infront of the camera so you can see the gigantic 'Daystrom Institute' sign on the outside. DOM DOM DOOOOOOOOOOM. Honey Bunny does like to spin on her chair huh?

Critics in general suffer from a brain disease and incureable smugness and elitism. The WHO should consider classifying that shit in the next update for the ICD-stuff.
