Great work, gents! Looks perfect on the small screen, and is even compatible with this older browser I'm using.
Just wanted to make sure you knew.

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
Had you just posted the Remmick pic without the preceding bit of a straw man, I'd have said "touche!", and made reference to other icky bits like the Ceti Alpha eels or the bloody worm choke of ST3. Of course, the producers heard a lot of protest about the TNG exploding head, with the epis...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
Well, sure, but it could still be good Star Trek. It doesn't have to be hopeless, poorly expository, unnecessarily gory, undercutting previous universe-building, and otherwise resemble badly written fanfic of some other show with Star Trek terms pasted over what was originally there.

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
With a ballpark average of 24ish episodes per season rather than the current ten or fifteen, and with runtime requirements that are sometimes not met by the new shows (e.g. there are at least two STD eps that only hit the high 30s rather than the high 40s), there is a lot more time for both characte...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
That's how the STOU worked, yes, at least in principle. However, the CBS shows should be thought of as equivalent to novels. Sure, they affect our conception of OU Trek. My favorite Trek example is some novelist's claim that Vulcans are offended by unexpected touch . . . a logical-but-unfounded clai...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
You are, because this isn't. The Star Trek Original Universe is not changed by these new continuities. Or, put another way, "Land of song, said the warrior-bard, Though all the world betrays thee, One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, One faithful harp shall praise thee." You and I ...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
He knew they wouldn't stop? Seven had just shot them. His cortical node? It should've been in Seven, and the glowing step bit that Romulamengele was about to use to go hunting for it never made contact. The tray into which his eye was placed had his nose piece and one other object in it, but nothing...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
I saw a video of the "dismantling" and it was gruesome, but the damage seemed limited to his eye and nose that I could see. Why would Seven shoot him?

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
The "risk the lives" thing is just a writing conceit to not have to bring back the whole TNG crew, or even substantial parts, on a recurring basis. If you're sold on the series then it's an adequate excuse, I suppose, alongside the new evil Starfleet stuff that lets them play Star Trek: Re...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
Charisma is subjective. Captain Georgiou was charismatic as all get-out, despite the horrid writing of the pilot that made her seem an ill-prepared and silly person. Pike radiated it, and even Tilly had her moments. The Orville folks aren't designed for charisma in the classic sense. They all have a...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
They were all new cadets/graduates. But the Jean Luc Picard who commanded the E-D would never let a subordinate call him that. Exactly. The thesis would be that he either (1) mellowed a bit more post-Nemesis, following on from the AGT poker game (though that crew would've never tried to go informal...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
Oddly enough, the JL thing is actually the least bothersome thing they've done, to me. After all, the folks at the Academy called him Johnny.

Re: Picard: Why Use Discovery Ships?
Oh, starship continuity, how I miss you. I remember the good old days where you could estimate a ship's age by her features, and even ships as different as the E-D and Voyager plausibly emerged from the same design house. In the Eaves era this is all dead and gone, and if we're honest with ourselves...

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
From what I hear at Flare and elsewhere there's a Vulcan commodore who wears sunglasses on Earth.
I guess she's ready for JJ lens flares overwhelming her Vulcan extra eyelid?

Re: Picard spoileriffic discussion of the actual episodes
unless stated otherwise, James Kirk was actually still alive as per the 'shatnerverse' That's but one of many novel continuities. Rest assured that if they ever bring back Shatner-Kirk in the CBS Canon, it will be sillier even than that. Of course, now that the glass bottom was broken by Star Wars,...
