    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    So I missed that the Blu came out for Picard S1. I added the regular version to my wishlist. What is the difference with the Steelbook? I was reading a review of it on Amazon, and someone was annoyed about needing to remove disc 2 to get disc 3 out. Is the only difference the packaging?

    I am not sure about this, since they are releasing Short Treks on their own. But maybe they will release it on both Picard and Short Treks.

    It makes complete sense if you want to be honest about it. If you don't, you dismiss it. You can point to other examples of just about any existing work of fiction and point at an older version of the same story, or the original and label one as derivative. You can argue that TOS was...

    Derivative arguments can be used to reduce just about anything you watch/read/hear.

    I would argue you can include various episodes of The Orville in there.

    From what I saw there was nothing to miss. I caught nothing anywhere that hinted or led up to that.

    I enjoyed the finale, faults, warts, silly crutches and all (atrocious mcguffin tool). I am delighted that they stuck to their (mostly) original story and didn't include any of the ridiculous recycled TNG elements that were theorized (Q continuum, Lore, etc) I can't believe they didn't give...

    True, but now with the synthetic ban lifted, slap B4 together, tweak those engrams and presto ! Instant Data! But we saw his requiem. So that should be it.

    No. After it was destroyed and the saucer crash landed, the fragments of NCC-1701D were left where they were. But Picard grabbed his Shakespeare.

    Spurred by previous mention, and wanting to see a good Picard character episode I watched tapestry. Picard post academy, waiting to be shipped out was wearing those same Khan era uniforms. And it looked a bit ridiculous where all of them were hanging out with the chest flap open. Let's say...

    I think we all need to expect subsequent seasons of our favorite current/new shows to be delayed.

    Can't you predict this? Go look at the Ready Room episode with the questions and answers. You should be able to deduce who will be on in the future. OTOH, I am behind on 3 Ready Rooms now, and last nights ep. (Mom in town for a week, not the dedicated Trek on Thursday Nights).

    If things remain consistent, we will get Blu-Ray, like we do for STD.

    It's a knee-jerk reaction at this point without knowing how the rest of the season will go.

    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    So irrelevant. Its like screaming at the sky. The bad writing on any ST show was at monumental levels, depending on the episode and the season. It's also a total old school mindset that doesn't take into account the amount of time we have with a 10 episode season to spend on backstory when we...

    Yeah, that's crappy design. If an emergency is in progress then it should not be able to be shut down. Of all the ST, I am the least versed in Voyager. Where there ever discussions regarding the parameters of EMH is situations? OTOH, more AI fear generated by the Synth attack might lead to...

    This, or at least the Troi part. Almost everytime I saw her, her face reminded me of TNG era Sirtis.

    We also had a ton of him handling children in the collision with the cosmic string episode, where he was stuck in the turbolift with the kids.

    I need to go check this out. I am pretty sure I already have a copy from when it came out... Its been so long since I originally read it that there is no way I would remember those details.

    Yeah, I read your suspicions, but I think its a bit of a twist to fit those in with existing canon on cross breeding since we have seen Human-Vulcan and Human-Romulan.

    Yeah, but you could say that about the entire run of TOS. There was a ton of YATIs during the original run (Yet Another Trek Inconsistency). http://www.ditl.org/yati-list.php?Series=TOS&ListID=ListLists

    Last night was total catch-up. I was out of town Thurs-Tuesday night, but still getting spoilerized a bit reading here. Then a buddy came over Wednesday night for craft/home brew and vinyl spinning. Last night I watched e2, e3, RR e1-3. What I really enjoyed was the segment in rr3 with the...

    In an area you forget about until we see otherwise. It was an emergency kludge given their circumstances. In general, in Trek, lots of amazing hacks/inventions are rarely re-used in the future. We see it all the time where some "solution-of-the-week pulled out of our backsides" is forgotten...

    This had me fooled also, it wasn't until after the episode, the Ready Room segment that I realized what we were seeing. You forgot it too. This wasn't some damned stupid idea to make her look cool vaping. Raffi is the crew person with addictions.

    That ocurred to me also, that they just aren't living on Earth. The scene with them looked pre-mission, so who knows. So think about it. If you lived now, and had the money, would you live retire in North America or would you rather be in the tropics, or maybe in South/Central America? So if...

    Because one is autonomous and one isn't? Because one has rebelled and one hasn't?

    Yeah, I just did some googling and that is what it said under Cons: no 4K/HDR. But I think that was via CBS service, a year or 2 ago.
