Star Trek Picard SPOILERS thread

I quite like STIV the one with the whales. Flasy special effects not needed.

I liked that one too, but a lot of people saw it as a cheep excuse to set it in the "real" world so they saved $ on special effects, and went for modern comedy over a decent sci-fi plot. They'd be right, but I still liked it.

For the "greatest Kingon ever" and a supposed ultimate warrior type, he sure spent a lot of his time getting his arse handed to him

He had the Worf problem. They told you (but didn't show you) that he was tough. Then showed that bad guys wee tough by having them beat him. All the time.

Also see Jaime Lannister - greatest swordsman in the realm, my arse! Never saw a shred of evidence to prove that! They really needed to show that from time to time rather than just tell us, because he got beaten constantly.

My favourite Trek movie. Most people say Khan, but IV edges it out for me.

I know, right? It was just plain fun to watch. What more do you want from a movie, really?

What's that old saying about only every second movie being good?

Treks a bit inconsistent. I remember liking First Contact and parts if TNG but mein gott season 1 is a slog. I've had trekkues suggest skipping to season 3 of TNG pick it up from there.

I didn't religiously watch it in the 90s just the occasional episode.

I can quote every line of that film. Every note of the soundtrack is burned into my brain. It's peak Trek.

This as I kid I didn't get Khan, probably because I didn't know who Khan was.

III was also kinda rough (as an 8 year old).
IV and First Contact are my favorites.

What I can remember is fragmentary of TOS. Same with old Dr Who, original Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Blake 7 etc.

I think nearly everyone agrees that while TNG S1 got Trek going again, it's pretty bad. 3-6 are really good, and S7 has a few stinker episodes, but is otherwise fine. (I draw the line at Beverly getting raped by her grandma's alien lover - that episode was a serious piece of trash.)

Yeah using that logic STD and Picard aren't that bad. I don't think they're terrible, I don't understand Canon or the stardate thing that well. It just has to pass the fun to watch part.

Peak trek for me DS9, IV, First Contact. Last movie I saw was Nemesis wasn't great.

I'm not deep enough into Picard as we've been sidetracked with everything else we're watching atm but will finish it off in the next few weeks.

But surely we can all agree that Irish Romulans are best Romulans!

Seriously, season 2 — whenever it will premiere — better have at least twice the Laris and Zhaban.
