Ive suffered through their reviews in S1 They had some good points but stylistically their reviews are so full of disrespect and cynicism Example: Stardust City Rag the ep was TERRIBLE and they had every right to trash it but NOT the way they did it showing no interest in the world they are blasting not even remembering Freeclouds or Bjayzals name because they couldnt care less.

Then the quality dropped 90 degrees straight down an miraculous speeds. I havent seen their review of Picard this season but I cant imagine its great lol. Not everyone has the time. I liked the scenes with Raffi and Rios they havent shared many scenes in the show so its great to have them interact here and Rios talking about the doctor from the previous episodes i knew then that we would see here again when helping save Picards life. Back it up with something. There are no known Picard issues, the show is great. Episodes that are start-to-finish get rewatched more often, long arcs dont, and this approach can and has killed franchises in the past. I don't expect Beverly and Picard to get back together but the notion that she's just a hideous person and Laris is absolutely wonderful makes zero sense. So far its plodding along and it feels like they just dont have enough story to fill the full 10 episodes. As for Agnes, she doesnt seem to be coping well with her new houseguest, with Queenie backbrain driving every move she makes. Seems like were on a downhill slide with each work getting more mundane with very little forward momentum.

The doctor leaves the team alone in her clinic as they use their future tech to sort out Jean-Luc is stuck in some kind of memory and the crazy plan is to have Tallinn use her Supervisor tech for a jury-rigged mind meld to get in there and sort him out next week.

When Season 3 began, however, we only got a few brief moments with Laris, and it's never said if they're in a relationship. The season has gone from what we all wanted in episode one (and all the professional critics reviewed), to a mixture of cringe and low budget fan fiction in just 2 more episodes. Enterprise, perhaps Paramount might wait a few years to put a little distance between them. Well the episode interesting it gave me Oceans 11 vibes but personally this episode imo is the weakest of the whole season. Every year Hollywood makes hundreds of movies. This is a two season arc, apparently, so we are only about a third of the way in. Has anyone run a scan of her, just to check to see exactly what she is? Still, it's not implicitly said whether Picard and Crusher are a couple or just good friends and co-parents, leaving the status of their relationship an unanswered question once again. They just dont idolise like some fans, and point out the trash which is all too often evident in modern script-writing, as they should. Orla Brady returning for at least 1 episode in season 3 which could hurt crusher chances with picard. I watched their review of last season and sadly I had to agree with nearly everything they said.

When the little girl (Kore/clone), plays make believe with her lion with Dr. Soong in the video that Kore finds she says that she lives in a cave. I did not know she was a clone, only that she had a defect her father wanted to cure Maybe youve supposed that, I certainly havent. But now its like one of those standard CBS action/heist dramas that would air after 60 Minutes or The Amazing Race and last one season. We know Picard is not in any real fatal danger. I think one thing that is frustrating is that these episodes are released weekly when they are really written to be binged. Its way beyond what could possibly be implemented in two years. They are both fiercely protective of their employer and friend, particularly Laris. I mean, really. Youd think this was thrown by a Bond villain. This could have been great Trek if done as a 3- or 4-parter, but dragging it over 10 eps is just too much. The third and final season of Star Trek: Picard arrives in just over five weeks and both the series star and showrunner are giving us updates on what to expect. , Why spend all that money, actually hire pretty good actors for the parts (with the exception of Hurd and Brionnes) and then have people write it, who not only have no idea how to write Star Trek or interesting dialogue but obviously have no ideas in general? She is his lifes work. Wait, what now? Not having Q in an episode also made me realise how much more John De Lancie makes anything watchable. Theres so much potential with this cast and these characters. The Kore storyline kind of gives me the impression of the beginnings of the augments but well see. Its feeling too frustrating every episode instead of feeling satisfied. Laris stops the man from doing so with a warning look. Youre probably wondering how I got here is never a good sign. I feel so sorry for Hurd who does her best with an appallingly realised part. The Infinite Vulcan (TAS) introduced the connection between the Eugenics Wars and cloning in the person of Stavros Keniclius, an Earth scientist from the Eugenics Wars period, and his clones Keniclius II to V. In this episode, McCoy said Keniclius would be over 250 years old, meaning he was from Kores generation or the next. First Picard, then Seven, now Tallin. Its getting really tedious, really fast.

The third and final season put to bed plenty of longstanding questions debated by Trekkies for decades, like the fate of the Enterprise-D and the final resting place of James T. Kirk.

I also noticed that, aside from the Rios actor who is the next season of The Flight Attendant (which could be a one season part only), none of the Picard actors have any upcoming roles on IMDB Pro. At least for me, this season continues to get better with each episode, and the first episode was pretty good already. Acceptable alternate solution, Picard in a triad with Laris and Beverly (hey its the future in Star Trek, we get to be progressive here). Is that the solution? I think that speech was just way to remind everyone that the doctor character exists. With all of that chaos going on, every moment that the crew exist is unraveling the tapestry of time. Why Star Trek: Picard should explore Picard and Laris' relationship I knew we would see the doctor again and 7 saying Picard had a few transplants and Rafii saying all of them was kinda funny. To stop this new threat, Picard must bring together his old crew, board a relic of a starship, and face off against an old nemesis. Hopeful that Strange New Worlds is legit and will try again to do this, but the young writers of today simply lack the ability or the willingness to reinforce viewership. Its Marvel-tier garbage. High security threats are never forgotten that easily. By Ryan Parker April 4, 2022 10:15am Orla Brady plays both Laris and Tallinn on this season of 'Star Trek: Picard.' Courtesy of Paramount+ Orla Brady was not ready to say goodbye to her Romulan. Perhaps, leader of this tyrant was Colonel Green, Lee Kuan, or Krotus [Patterns of Force (TOS) and Whom Gods Destroy (TOS)]. The story sees Admiral Picard and Captain William Riker commandeering the U.S.S. ago stormypets 3 mo. But Worf's actual position and role is murky at best, as he describes himself more as a "subcontractor" to Starfleet, implying he's actually in service to someone else. Sometimes I feel the writers want us to enjoy, even joke about, the Borg Queen taking over Jurati. Poor Laris : r/Picard - Reddit I am curious to see where that is going. Coasting. That is exactly the word to describe what this show has been doing ever since they arrived in 2024. While the organization played a big part in the background of "Picard," we are given no info on their current status. And Tallinn is part of the same organization that Gary Seven (Robert Lansing) worked for in the classic TOS episode " Assignment . In the Star Trek: TOS episode "Assignment: Earth," Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) beamed to Earth incognito and helped Gary Seven destroy the orbital nuclear platform. So if the writers want to have an annoying and angry character, they better should make him a male white dude if they dont want any backlash from every wining angry Joe on social media. The queen controlled Jurati is so going to cause a lot trouble. Shes closed off from the world. He could have been the mentor to Stavros Keniclius [The Infinite Vulcan (TAS)], as well as the ambitious scientist who, as TonyD surmised, planted the seeds for the Eugenics Wars. And since a lot of streaming shows are produced with the knowledge at they will be binged, this is a problem for more casual viewers. But if he has arleady found love with Laris, the door would already be firmly closed which would mean there was one less plot point to explore. Why New Trek insists on having season long story arcs is beyond me; having two or three mini-arcs would have been perfect. Finally the Kore storyline might be the beginning of the augments as we know from Enterprise that another Soong was involved with those experiments maybe picking off where this Soong left off. is kinda daft to begin with (also the messaging here is kinda alarming tbh); Not saying that real life peoples mental health cant be crippling and debilitating etc. If Beverlys son turns out to be Picards kid and they end up tying the knot Im going to very sad. Every resolution to one question triggered three more questions. Perhaps this is left open-ended by design, to allow for a follow-up, spin-off, or sequel that provides a new future for him, but for now, it's all up in the air. Every Major Story Star Trek Picard Forgot - MSN He tells Jack Crusher that a trial is about to begin. This suggests that the spinoff is already confirmed or at least pending.

Titan to answer a desperate plea for help from their old friend Beverly Crusher. [ SPOILERS] Beverly's Surprise. And what of his goals and aspirations now that he has essentially achieved his dream of becoming human? By Jonah Schuhart / Feb. 27, 2022 1:46 pm EST Season 1 of "Star Trek: Picard" was a huge event for fans of the long-running space franchise, who have missed the likes of Jean-Luc Picard (Sir. In academia/research, a mad scientist will have no funding if it becomes public. I also expected Soongs attempts at curing Kore to pave the way for Eugenics, based on Matalas tweet about the writers concluding that EMPs kicked everyone back decades during WW3. Imagine being the most beautiful woman in the room that also has Jeri Ryan in it, Plus the fact she recently turned 60! Please reboot your Picard to install upgrades. Appalled Sir Patrick hasnt noticed how badly written and plotted this has become. And its not even that thrilling, when its Picard, whos in danger, since this airs one or two days after the cast announcement for season 3 they didnt even even really commit to the flashback format and dropped it halfway through an already short episode. Raffi has been reinstated and assigned to be Seven's first officer, and at the helm is Sidney La Forge (daughter of Geordi). By the time the final episode of "Star Trek: Picard" had rolled its credits it became clear that this was no simple pipe dream, as the story clearly sets up such a series. I feel like i could watch the first two episodes and the last episodes and not miss anything. Guys, I think Im in trouble here, is possibly one of the least in-character lines of dialogue ever given to Jean-Luc Picard. But at a gathering with such tight security how is just waltzing onto a balcony and singing something that can even happen? When she became pregnant, she severed all ties to Picard and her old shipmates in an effort to keep her son, Jack, safe from the danger that comes with being the son of the great Jean-Luc Picard. For a season billed as a proper send-off for the crew of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," the third and final year of "Star Trek: Picard"doesn't give us much of a glimpse into where they end up when all is said and done. This seems strange, what with her protg Seven of Nine getting command of the new Enterprise, and her old nemesis the Borg back threatening the Federation. Earlier in the series, Seven of Nine namedropped an "Admiral Janeway" as someone who helped her secure entry into Starfleet in the first place, and for recently encouraging her to stick with it despite her struggles. To take advantage of these discounts, all you need . Tallin is just another Romulan who, to Picard, looks like Laris. But after Vadic met her end, it isn't said what happened to the rest of the Changelings who had been loyal to her. Yep! I thought this episode was both stupid and mean. To rewrite history from this point? Theyd just have to call her and tell her the dog died or it was raining. In the penultimate episode of the third season, when Geordi La Forge takes the crew back to the fleet museum to retrieve the old Enterprise-D, he notes that the Enterprise-E wasn't available. Its a fascinating story, and this relationship between father/creator and daughter/experiment has really blown my mind. It will be interesting what happens when Tallinn going into his mind will do and what we will see. Youre hired as a directoryou dont choose the episodes. Yet here they are quipping about matchbooks, cigars, and worrying about their love life. At times profound, and other times a bit goofy, the team has some Oceans Eleven-style fun with Picard and director Jonathan Frakes pulling it off much better than their last caper episode (Stardust City Rag) in season one. As for something making it happen 40-ish years later, I think the 1990s was the 1984 of Star Trek. Orla Brady Talks Laris and Picard's Future: 'She's Not Going - MovieWeb Back on "DS9," their leader Director Sloan said emphatically that the agency had no official headquarters or base of operations. 'Star Trek: Picard' Season 3: Stewart Talks Beverly's "Thrilling Many fans have wondered what happened in the aftermath of the Dominion War, and while there were some hints on spin-offs like "Lower Decks," it finally seemed like we might get some answers in "Picard.". It was such a short episode, there should have been time to set up scenes like Jurati singing and Picard escaping and the beginning of the chat between Picards. Jack questions how he could still be alive, but Q gives no concrete explanation, merely saying that Jack shouldn't think so "linearly," implying it's a version of him from before his death. Not looking forward to next week episode either. The story sees Admiral Picard and Captain William Riker commandeering the U.S.S. 90% of the first episode was pretty good. She also has the insight to see that Seven and Rios are a bit too enamored with the 21st century, with Rios smitten by Dr. Teresa.

Accusing someone of griping and nitpicking is rude though, especially when I did actually say I really liked the episode. Another solid episode. Perhaps they could have had Jurarti just sing a song then all of our group could have just waltzed on in with no one knowing or caring? Not sure if it will be as simple as I laid it out, but I doubt just getting her to go on the mission corrects the timeline. Yes I know its only a TV show but still | April 7, 2022 | For some reason, TV writers nowadays love to take about one hour of story and stretch it across ten episodes.
