I finished my second viewing of Picard last Sunday night with the conclusion of the finale. It was good to see it a second time as the theme of Picard protecting the rights of the synthetic life forms continues since the events of The Measure of A Man. His efforts lead to the ultimate sacrifice...

I’m currently doing my rewatch of Picard and I’ve watched part one of the finale. So I’m one episode away from finishing. This is essentially my second viewing of the series since it originally streamed. The following will contain spoilers in case you’ve not seen the series. I noticed a few...

I didn’t even know it came as a steelcase. But I like it! I ordered mine from Amazon and I’m fine with the packaging. I like the steelcase option if it’s a film I really like. The standard cases for Star Trek Discovery have the hinged pages so you don’t have to remove disc two to get to three...

I see, a quick internet search and it popped up on YouTube. Second season TNG, Elementary, Dear Data. I’ve never heard that word before, and it was so under his breadth, I didn’t even know what he said.

Jason, just saw your post, I didn’t know about that French word. I don’t know French so it went over my head, no doubt as intended. I’m going to do a re-watch of Picard, so I’ll be listening.

Commodore Decker said the H word too, though referring to the location, rather, as the place the Doomsday Machine came from. I think several members already have said it, but I tend to agree that for us long time Star Trek viewers, the use of words that have been considered more adult was never...

I forgot about this release date! I just placed my order on Amazon. But before I did that, I checked other sites because the one on Amazon is a Steelcase one. Apparently the regular one is back ordered? Best Buy has the regular version in stock. I don’t mind the steelcase And ordered that one. I...

Not to continue to dwell on the subject of Data, but I happen to come across this interview with Brent Spiner where he explains why this was a fitting fair well for the character. https://comicbook.com/startrek/2020/03/27/star-trek-brett-spiner-says-he-will-never-play-data-again/

The lines below is from Chakotay.net, a transcript site I often go to to check dialogue from all the Star Trek series. I’ve not crossed checked them, but they have always been right when I checked. LAFORGE: Basically she's a Soong-type android, except everything about her is designed to fool...

Josh, you’re so right! A slip of the tongue. Generations is not one of my favorite films, so I totally forgot that was the case.

Since you guys are bringing up the spoilers.... it was clear one option was to use the golem. And it was an interesting concept that Picard has worked so hard as far back as The Measure of a Man and The Offspring to protect the rights of synthetic life. It was a fitting to end his life by...

There was a few other things-

Just watched it. Like Adam said, I felt it played out as expected as well. There were a couple of little surprises. And there was one unexpected sequence! I just saw on the news that Chabon whose a resident of the SF Bay Area was involved with his wife to help local restaurants suffering from...

This is a very nice gesture for the free 30 days to watch CBS All Access. My reviewing of Star Trek TNG led to The Offspring last night. It was never a favorite episode but it suddenly became very important viewing! I had forgotten how the episode unfolded, but I did remember how it ended...

Adam, because of your earlier post of Q and how it might tie in Picard, I happen to watch Déjà Q the other evening as part of my Star Trek TNG re-watch. It was fortuitous timing as I’d finished my rewatch of TOS. And I wanted to revisit TNG in the early days while we see this new iteration in...

You guys make some good points about Altan. I felt Spiner was playing him with some hidden thing, but I could not quite place it. Except as I spoilerized above, he seemed a lot like the Soong involved with the Augments.

Wow, lots of things to absorb in this episode. I agree the Romulans misinterpreted the message. Do you guys think Sutra could be Lore? . This episode I felt was channeling a lot of Star Wars with the imagery, large crashed ships on planets, and a large armada of ships massing for an attack. :)

I just had a second viewing of this week’s episode, Broken Pieces. It was good to re-see it as I was able to pick up more of the story bits. I was reading a review of the episode on Trekmovie and it asked what the deal is with F-bombing Clancy, is she on the good side or in league with Oh. I...

The first thing I thought of tonight was Good episode, agreed about Picard’s pep talk to Rios. Very much Star Trek. Though I don’t hate, or love the idea of Oh’s story and how she’s in on this plot, why can’t Starfleet keep its ducks in a row. I’m glad at least the episode explained. Ore...

Just watched the episode this evening. Can’t agree more to what you guys have said. It was a very good episode. I did wonder if Frakes directed this one, but watching the opening credits I saw he did not, I was curious as I didn’t think he’d direct himself. It was interesting to see Riker and...

Agreed with you post 911 Josh. We’re watching 10 segments of a long movie. I watched this weeks episode a second time tonight. I have a guess of Soji’s dream. I was thinking her dream is real, as Soji is a real girl, perhaps Maddox actual daughter. And Maddox used her memories to implant into...

Wow, Thursday came up fast. Looking forward to it after work tonight.

I started this thread, but didn’t think I had editing privileges to change the title! I was just able to do that. Hope you like the revised title. :)

I hate to be the guy posting links to stories, but I found this interview with Chabon interesting as he’s made a very thoughtful response to the violence in this latest episode. It’s a long response and I’ve read most of it. He’s not unaware of Star Trek’s history and how controversial the...

My news feed sent me this story which led to the second. The first is an interview with Jonathan Frakes and the second is with Jeri Ryan. Both discuss this latest episode. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/picard-scene-star-trek-creator-gene-roddenberry-would-hate-1280569...

However, after Khan awoke his crew and seized control of the Enterprise, Khan disengaged the tractor beam and discarded the Botany Bay. What you see in Star Trek 2 on Ceti Alpha are the cargo containers seen in the belly of the refit Enterprise in Star Trek The Motion Picture. The production...

I was making a little joke. :) I typed my reply backwards, but I meant it to be jokey because Walter Keonig often joked at Star Trek conventions that Khan met Chekov when they crossed paths in the men’s room.

In my current effort to re-view The Next Generation, I just got up to The Measure of A Man, so the timing was perfect and I specifically made time last night to properly view it. I even watched the extended version on the blu ray. Though I’ve not seen the regular version is ages, I can’t recall...

Agreed Sam regarding DS9. And It was clear in the first two episodes of Picard that Picard is one of the righteous. And I like how Pike is similarly shown as one of the best in Starfleet.

I’m having some trouble watching Wheaton doing the Ready Room segments. Part of me is going along with it, part of me is wondering if he’s putting on an act of being so geeky. Maybe it’s because I got used to the evil Wil Wheaton act on The Big Bang Theory. :). I think he’s doing a good job...
