RickR Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 I have not seen tonight's episode yet, but unfortunately, I came across a LOT of spoilers today. People were pretty excited about it I guess. It just makes me a bit miffed is all. Mrs. R knows none of it, and I'm keeping her away from her phone until we watch it 🙂 Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Ep 6 - the streak continues. There's a lot to geek out over this one. Enjoy it, everyone. Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Thanks @RickR! I wont be able to watch until the weekend. I will steer clear of everything Trek until then. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- Ω - Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Since everyone thinks this season is great, I'll sign up for a month of CBS All Access next month and watch them all. I'm paying for far too many plans and services to keep them all active at once. TrekMD and Sabertooth 2 Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 I am doing the same with Disney+ (I'll subscribe once all the new Mandalorian episodes are out), and then Apple to do the same for Ted Lasso. Sabertooth and - Ω - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 So I finally watched episode 6. Personally, my feelings are a little mixed but I understand why so many are extremely excited by this one. It reminded me of the 2008 traveling Trek museum exhibit, but as an episode of tv. The 'memberberries are strong with this one. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted March 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I really enjoyed the episode but I have seen mixed reactions to the episode. RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Doug Drexler called that episode "starship porn", which is appropriate. I thought it was a good one, but I can understand the mixed reaction. It's a "push the story along" kind of episode.

RickR Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Episode 7 "Dominion" - RickR says: Right along the same lines as last week. Lots of action, and more of the mystery is exposed. Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 I really enjoyed episode 7. It was solid and didn't lean too hard on nostalgia. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Yes, the episode was great. I've already watched it three times to catch all the details. Three more episodes to go! Spoiler And what the hell is going on with Jack? What is he?! He controlled Geordi's daughter like a puppet! RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

RickR Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 S3, E8 - good stuff! Satisfying. Some hidden notes below so as not to spoil. Spoiler "I cut off your sight" doesn't really make sense when the whole ship is already uncomfortably dark 🙂 🙂 🙂 Maybe she should have turned up the lights full brightness -- that would have blinded everyone. LaForge and Data together are like peanut butter and jelly. Perfect. Data vs Lore = well done! Worf. Well, I'm sorry, but that character feels like a caricature to me. Without any backstory, his character just doesn't feel right. Although he is pretty hilarious. If you squint your eyes, it could easily be Elnor with this role. They've done a great job in giving themselves time to solve the mysteries. 2 episodes left. Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I agree. It was an excellent episode that continued moving the story forward. Spoiler Data vs Lore - I had it figured before the "battle" ended. Data giving Lore all of his memories meant Lore was joining Data and that is exactly how it played out. It was well played. We're finally going to get to know what the hell is happening with Jack. It was cool seeing him using his "powers" to try to help but the way he played Vadic was fantastic. Love Data telling the Titan's crew that the pissed off security system was changing shifts! RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Sabertooth Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 S3,E9: Võx There are some definite highs and lows in this one. I happen to be out with a bad cold so I watched it twice - once at 3:00am and again around noon. Overall, I liked it. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Oh no on the bad cold! I hope you feel better soon. I loved episode 9. There was a lot of fan service, sure. And some of this story feels pretty tired and rehashed. But I love how they at least give a bit of logical explanation to it. And that ending....WOAH! Goose bumps. It invalidates a crack I made earlier this season. Once again, I tried to stay off the internet on Thursday to avoid spoilers, and I'm so glad I did. I knew NOTHING about this week's guest and that ending. Avoiding spoilers makes me do this a lot while watching: Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Yes, the ending definitely got to me. Even through this cold, latinum-plated heart. 😉 RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I just thought of one really cool thing about episode 9 Spoiler It took them 30+ years, but they finally figured out really good usage for the character of Troi. I thought those scenes of her helping unlock the secret of Jack were super effective and engaging. Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) I watched it late last night and I can only say I loved it. CANNOT wait for next Thursday! I will admit, though, I have mixed feelings of it being the final episode. I sure do hope Terry Matalas gets to make Star Trek: Legacy to continue the stories in this era. Spoiler It was great seeing Shelby again! Even it was short-lived. Quite the nasty way the Borg have developed to assimilate people now. Very, very insidious. The Enterprise D! The Enterprise D! Need I say more? I have wonder how much Jack's personality will affect the Borg. I don't think he's just going to be their "voice." Had to add this one...

MaximumRD Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 My wife and I enjoy PICARD having been big Star Trek TNG fans, we've yet to watch any this season only because we have a long list of shows and movies in our viewing line up, likely we will wait until all episodes have aired and I will collect them all at once and add it to our weekly viewing at some point. I was intrigued by the trailers and defintiely look forward while also not reading too much of this thread. IN THE MEANTIME however 😁 New shirt from my wife 😀😎I'm prepared for it!

RickR Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Nice shirt! Season 3 has more of the TNG flavor, and I find it unfortunate they didn't go this way from the start. And I'm glad we have the "spoiler" tag here to hide that commentary. It's so much better without spoilers.

RickR Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) S3, E10 - the final episode! Spoiler Am I satisfied? YES! I loved this season. The final episode was mostly fan service, but I'm good with that. The resolution of the plot was pretty well done, but the Borg just feel so tired by now. I *do* love that they brought back the orig Borg Queen. But it begs the question -- what happened to Agnes-Borg? Did season 2 even matter? The highlights here are many. ANY scene on the Enterprise D were pure gold. Data with emotions and age is pure gold (pun intended). The trust between these old characters -- you got it...pure gold. And Seven as captain -- I hope they turn that into a series. Favorite line: "I've missed that voice". Chills. Missed opportunity - a return of hWesley in this season would have been great instead of the pretty pointless cameo in season 2. Overall: This season is a solid A and I wish they'd done it like this from the start. Edited April 21, 2023 by RickR Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Oh yes, the final episode was just awesome! Spoiler Oh, I'm fine with well-executed fan service and that is what this was. The Enterprise D never looked better! Dr. Crusher, crushed it as a tactical officer! Yes, pun very intended The Agnes-Borg are a separate offshoot of the regular Borg. They were unaffected by the Janeway virus that crippled the Borg. Alice Kriege only voiced the queen. Another actress played the body. So, the Agnes-Borg are still around but they are "benevolent." Likely they are the Borg that were mentioned on Discovery's third season. Hearing Shaw praise Seven and calling her Seven was a tearjerker. I'm glad she is captain of the Enterprise-G and I really, really, really hope Star Trek: Legacy gets made because Terry Matalas really did a superb job and he deserves to follow through. Did you see the mid-credits scene? Talk about a set up for a new show! Edited April 22, 2023 by TrekMD Sabertooth and RickR 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
