50 Years of Star Trek - RIP

colour me surprised...Picard is getting two more seasons...two years after the first
star trek: if in doubt...time travel
-
@kiwiwomble I don't mind that, some of the best ST has been time travel.
I hope they never mention the fact they made him a shitty old android ever again. Beverly is suposed to be in this as well, which was a huge oversight from season 1.
And I like Q.

@kirwan i do like they seem to be taking a similar approach to Discovery approach of each season being a different arc rather than too episodic

Which is a mistake for ST IMO. Strange New Worlds is supposed to be episodic and they'll be able to take more risks. Problem with a season arc is if it sucks, the season sucks.
Previous Start Treks had good episodes and shit episodes, and not everybody agreed which was which.

Never like the use of a deus ex machina although Q did give us the Borg so all is forgiven.
He looks better in that trailer than he did 30 years ago.
Yeah, but you pointing that out in a show that hand waves away artificial gravity. THe actor does look pretty good for his age. Not all of them are holding up so well.
Fun getting old.

all very true, i really enjoyed Discovery and how different each season was but i can get how if that arc isn;t your cup of tea then the whole season is a write off

I truly hope you're being ironic. Otherwise wait a decade or two.
I just found Q's interventions particularly cumbersome.
they did do a good job of making you want to punch him though which was one part achieved

Oh no, getting old is not a process I'm enjoying at all.

Won't be watching this one either. Looks awful. Picard can barely breath.
i mean picard and patrick stewart are both old...super old...would it not be weirder to see him running around?

@kiwiwomble Nice shot from the season three TNG episode The Hunted.

My favourite bit is look of utter confusion on Carrie, Mark and George’s faces.
George has the most unexpressive face, you could clearly tell he was enjoying it but his face barely registered it.
To be fair it goes with his writing. I've read one or two of his sc fi books and I'm not going to get those hours back.
