- Ω - Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 This was smart of them, it convinced me to watch season three. I'll wait until more of them are posted on Paramount+ so I'll only have to pay for one month. Yeah, I can be cheap at times.

TrekMD Posted February 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 That'll be the only episode they post on YouTube. The season is 10 episodes, so just wait until it ends to get on Paramount+. Sabertooth 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted March 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) OK, episode four was just awesome! I am going to watch it again tomorrow. There's so much to absorb! Great character moments and loved how the nebula storyline was concluded. Spoiler Riker throwing an asteroid at the Shrike was precious! Talk about poetic justice! Oh, this is not just a great season of Star Trek Picard. Its an excellent season of Star Trek! Edited March 10, 2023 by TrekMD RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Sabertooth Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 So far, so great! I am still cautious after the first two seasons, but it looks like the new show runners don't believe in no win scenario. 😉 TrekMD and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 This is more general Trek, but I've really gotten into the podcast The Shuttlepod Show lately. Hosted by Enterprise stars Dominic Keating and Conner Trinneer, they do deep dives with other actors, writers and other contributors to various Trek series. A lot of behind the scenes and showbiz stuff, but very interesting. Here's a link to the show and a recent episode with Michael Dorn. https://youtube.com/@ShuttlepodShow RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted March 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Yes, that's an excellent show. They also recently had Denise Crosby on it. The cool thing for me is that I've met Conner, Dominic, Denise, Michael (Dorn), and several other actors. 🙂 Edited March 11, 2023 by TrekMD RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

peteym5 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I will be honest. Season 3 of Star Trek Picard feels more like the Star Trek everyone is used to and enjoy. The first 4 episodes are more like an ongoing movie or the DS9 Multi-part story arc than what we saw in the first two seasons of the show or Star Trek Discovery.

Sabertooth Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I just watched Episode 5: Imposters. I will not say anything other than I was entirely satisfied and can't believe they were able to not only continue the momentum, but build on it. I look forward to hearing what you all thought TrekMD and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted March 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 OK, I finished watching it a few minutes ago. Damn! Spoiler - It was so cool to see Ro Laren again. It is sad she died but she did move the story forward. I thought it was cool she felt comfortable in calling Picard by his first name. - Damn, these changelings are something else. They can even form inner organs? Wow! That may explain why they look so different from how they looked in DS9 when in their goo form. - Worf and Raffi together a just awesome! Finally good to see the stories merge by the end of this episode. - Shaw continues to be a total ass. Hopefully, after what he just saw he opens his damn eyes!!!

TrekMD Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I, unfortunately, was spoiled by none other than Google. I opened Google on the phone and there was an article, front and center, that said it all in the title. Regardless, I did enjoy the episode and the character.

I opened Google on the phone and there was an article, front and center, that said it all in the title. Regardless, I did enjoy the episode and the character. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'm sorry that happened to you, it really sucks! The Star Trek: Picard Facebook group has taken the step of not allowing ANY posts on their page for 48 hours after an episode drops, which I think is nice and kind of sad. They couldn't prevent people from spoiling without this policy. Your notes are spot on and I just have a few to add: Spoiler I love how they quickly explain the issues before I can say "pfft". For example, Ep 5 starts with Riker still in command while captain a-hole is standing right there. Before I can even say "why isn't he captain again?", Riker hands over command. GOOD writing! My wife says Jack is a victim of the upside-down from Stranger Things. No argument here. While I don't really like the darkness of the starships, I do like all the little TNG touches. Like the LCARS-like displays and the sounds. These little details add so much! And while I love the old-school design and look of the USS Titan, it makes me a touch sad how they've given up on the Galaxy class look for starships (nobody likes the fat ones). Just sprinkle one or two in -- come on! Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 They haven't entirely given up on the Galaxy-style ships. They have just been modified to be more battle-ready given all the enemies Starfleet has had to face. This class appear in the finale for Season 2, the Ross-class.

Sabertooth Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 @RickR- Re: The LCARS displays and other TNG touches, they apparently brought on Michael Okuda to help in Season 3. For me, this approach is what was missing in the first two seasons. It's not "fan service" to care about continuity and the history these characters already have. This is where the new showrunner gets it. RickR and TrekMD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Yes, we are lucky the show has a showrunner who GETS Star Trek and is a fan who understands what Star Trek is. Bringing back the folks involved before also adds to the quality of the show. Sabertooth and RickR 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
