Television The Star Trek Thread V6.0

It was a nice first episode, but I felt like everything was happening too fast. It could've benefitted from some slow down, maybe show Picard doing some farm work, develop the newer characters first, then dive into the Data story. I liked it, but it felt like each scene was real convenient, and the way the girl zipped from Boston to France to San Franscico each time they showed Picard was weird. Does she have teleporting tech?

I like the story, fan service or not, Data was the best part of TNG. I wonder if these new kids use any of the tech that he used to make Lal.

Um, yes.

It's the 25th century and they have transporters. Early in Trek their use for civilians was fairly limited but they loosened that restriction as time went on. Add to that how insanely resourceful this character is, and there are a lot of options, including theft and use of a shuttle class vessel that could get anywhere in the solar system in minutes.

Distance and travel within a single Federation planet is a complete non-issue.

That's cool, maybe have like a 5 second scene showing it instead of having some assuming how she got it.

This is the Star Trek universe, which we've been watching for half a century. It never would have occurred to me that someone could have had a problem with someone travelling between cities with the technology we know they have.
 





There are so many cool hidden Easter eggs within Picard. In the Boston skyline you can see the ferengi embassy and a billboard for Kassady Yates transportation company.

They have mass transit teleporation hubs, that go between busy city centers. Also have to remember shuttles and other transports can go anywhere in the world in just minutes.

The EW review has got to be a troll job

Yeah I have seen a few negative reviews, but that one takes the cake.

Director Duncan Jones had a grea tweet that I think summarizes what many fan thought, and the fears they had

I actually read a review on German fan site that I'd like to partially translate here:

Jean-Luc Picard has retired. However, a chance encounter with a stranger leads him to become part of a conspiracy...

The author of these lines admittedly had a hard time with the last publications under the "Star Trek" banner. While the last movies reduced "Star Trek" to action and entertaining entertainment, he found a progression of the incapacitation of the viewer especially with "Star Trek: Discovery". Various scripts were too superficial and too "sloppy".

All the more worried therefore the mind in relation to "his Captain" and the new series with a leading actor, who will celebrate his 80th birthday on July 13th. Did Stewart let himself be talked into it in his old age? The concern went so far that the author already made a facepalm statue out of marble filament for the purpose of the review, in order to then post it cynically as a picture.

So much for the reader's prehistory and the possibility to classify it with regard to the following assessment of the first episode of "Star Trek: Picard" shown today. And to make a long story short: the above small statue of the Captain may remain hidden in the closet for the week.
 
It was far better than it has any right to be. I actually put off watching it because I was nearly certain that I was going to hate it.
 
I had no idea the new star trek was out. Voyager is one of my all time favorite shows

And as guys who love ST the overall impression I get from them, which I share, is that this ST just isn't for me.

There's a segment of my generation of ST fans who really don't care for what it's become.

I thought Enterprise was too dull with the limited equipment.
And I consider Discovery more along the lines of the recent movies, which I didn't like.

For me, the movie Nemesis was the last film or show I liked.

And I like Picard so far, let's where they take it.
