Same thing I thought, and I'm totally fine with that!

This looks terrible. More action movie, "chosen one," "save the universe" schlock.

It makes you really think. Did any of these people actually sit down and watch Star Trek?

Also if Tarantino can't get it he's an idiot.

Yes, too many tropes that have already been done to death. But I'm excited to see Patrick Stewart again. I'm completely in on this.

Here's hoping he named the dog "Riker."


Riker, stop licking yourself.
Riker, don't poop on the floor.
Riker, stop humping the couch.
This bears reposting. Blue parachute for you.

A new trailer was released today. Playing with my six month old so too busy to link it, but it looks great.

Ok I'm by no means a Trekkie....I mean I respect the show for what it was and enjoyed some of the movies that have came out.....

But damn, ending that trailer with Will and Picard the way they did had me just a tad misty eyed....

This looks good

Loved the first episode. Stewart is greatness and it's awesome to see Picard in a show produced with all of today's tech.

I watched it last night and really enjoyed it. I did feel really lost though as I haven't watched any of the shows. Really feels like you need a solid backstory to understand what is going on.

Watched it the other night. Really enjoyed the storyline and the digital effects are off the chart good.

Borg cube reveal at the end was epic

I appreciate the list of shows, but I'm not going to be able to go back and watch all of those. My wife is not in on Star Trek so I'm going to watch Picard when I get that rare 1 hour to myself.

I've picked up a lot so far just by reading, but I still have a big hole regarding the main girl character. They kind of explain how she is an "artificial" but somehow has the neuro-pathways from Data? I think I got that right. But then don't understand who is hunting her and then why is her sister/twin on the cube? That's the part I'm really struggling with.

We aren't meant to know those things (yet), at least not for certain.

Has there been another episode since this first one? What impressions? Don't really care for how the Federation is being portrayed -- looked like several tropes piling up as some posted above.

3 episodes so far.

i have not seen any of them.
Thanks. Preview for ep 2 gave some idea. Just curious if it was laying on the sjw angle stronger or lighter. It looks a bit like its going to be Picard & Co. vs some bad portrayal of the Federation. And yet at the same time show snythetics as being tampered with.

I'm a sucker, I signed up.
The visuals on this series are amazing. Hope the plot catches up a bit.

as if the pandemic was not bad enough....
You seem to be going out of your way to express your disdain for a show you've never seen in a thread for people to discuss said show. I don't really understand why.

Just finished the series. Starts slow but gets better as it goes along IMO. Some of it is cheesy, which I guess is playing homage.

Other than Patrick Stewart, the doctor lady and messed up crew member lady are standouts for their acting. Stewart held his own at 79 which is very impressive. Definitely used a body double though, especially when he runs or falls.

Thoughts on the plot?

I'm seven episodes in. I like it. It's a definite departure from Star Trek of old though, with its serialized plot.

Finished it tonight, thought it was good, maybe not in the "great" category.
Really amazing visuals, decent plot, nice call backs, but nothing groundbreaking.

Also not sure how I feel about how they ended Picard's season, will have to see what they do with it next year.

Just finished season 1. Really enjoyed it. I'm still more of a fan of The Expanse type sci fi, but this was impressive.

Don't necessarily want or need more seasons, but I'm glad I watched it.

Season two isn't perfect, but I think it's a clear improvement over the first so far.

Also, this was released today regarding season three. Pretty cool.

Anyone still watching this? I'm over half way through season 2 ( not sure how far along, honestly just care to look it up) and about midway through the episode and think I've had enough.

Such a waste of opportunity. It's like they took all of the worst episodes of TNG and made a season of it.
