I’m more disappointed that ‘Movie Picard’ and then ‘Picard show Picard’ abandoned, or at least lost the emotional regulation that enabled him to hold onto, many of the principles that made him so admirable and exasperating.

It doesn’t seem like Picard in season three of Picard would have had any of the same qualms, or at least his emotional attachments would have overtaken them.

I wonder what Ben Sisko’s reaction to Picard’s choices in season three would have been. I definitely think he would have called him out, and made Shaw’s critiques look tame.

How are tights not the best thing, even for Jeffries tubes? No less appropriate than track and field athletes training in compression tights.

A scant is really just a long tunic.

@gaghyogi49@tenforward.social has this covered.

See his post.

It looks like the Orion alphabet and language has a one-to-one correlation with English, just for laughs.

“Weird is our business,” sayeth Janeway.

I would love to see the Breen taken on seriously, and had hoped they were the big bad in Picard S3. This doesn’t have the feel of them at all though.

Perhaps Matalas can take a lead out of the Relaunch novelverse Typhon Pact books and give us some serious Breen machinations.

Thanks as always.

This episode will take a few watches to catch all the jam-packed Orion details.

As Prof Noor is the biological science advisor for the show, it seems likely that he’s the one that gave the SNW Showrunners this specific option for a deep background of the Gorn.

Oh, I completely misunderstood the promotional copy for the comic then. It sounded like the EP for the animated videos was the lead for the comics.

In that case, I will give the preview a view. IDW has delivered some good comedic Trek content.

The videos have made me completely disinterested in even looking at the preview first issue comic.

I don’t want to reward the behaviour in any way. One viewing per very short Trek is all they will get from me.

Paramount can gauge the success from how much repeated viewing these the narrow slice of the mostly American male population of an age to have loved 90s humour. Maybe they think it’s got high overlap with Berman-era fans. I’m dubious but data will tell the story.

I hesitated to watch this one.

The humour is very 90s colonic irrigation level and sensibility.

This one did make me smile at one point though.

To see Riker, who would bravely take on fresh gagh to show openness to other cultural expectations, find the limit of his tolerances, is amusing.

I just wish the humour got beyond school age.
