I wonder how much of Patrick Stewart's upcoming memoirs will not be about his daddy issues.

Christopher Eccleston's book was mostly about his dad ( and related issues) , but it never came across as annoying as Patrick Stewart does.

It's what really turned me off about J.M. Stracynzski's book , the whole daddy was an evil criminal fuck thing got real tiresome real quick. Which is a shame because I loved B5.

You're... you're kidding, right? With that fivehead it's no wonder he got together with Torres. And both his eyes seem to be repulsed by each other with how wide apart they are. As for "charming"... a glass of water is more charming than he is. And it's just as bland as he is.

iirc a literal Nazi made Joe wear an S.S. uniform to "toughen him up." Abuse and neglect define your life.

To his credit, Joe was writing his ass off, as though he really was working out his own issues. The condensed history of B5 goes like this:
  1. Declare war on Space Nazis
  2. Space Nazis beaten. Everyone is so grateful we form an alliance that blocks out the sun. Earth #1, bitches!

His complete lack of charisma means boundless charisma; just so far past zero that he's a 10.

True enough. I tapped out a dozen pages in so the Nazi uniform stuff I missed.

My main gripe is that there's a difference between keeping that to books and advocacy and then shitting up a tv character to work out those issues.

At least he managed to kill off Professor X without this parental abuse shit.
 
Voyager would have been at least a *little* bit better if McNeill was playing Nicholas Locarno throughout it, instead of Tom Paris. Change my mind.

I know they intentionally made the two characters similar, but they clearly are not the equal. Locarno would have easily been a better character to follow for the entirety of Voyager after his exploits in "The First Duty."
We don't want to pay royalties though, I get it >.>

See, Nicholas Locarno was an alias because he didn't want to be known as the admiral's son. Then, he used his real name so that when he got caught, he'd embarrass his father.

You know, I'd almost be on board with that bit of headcanon if Paris wasn't just so clearly inferior to Locarno in almost every way @_@

Late as shit but... Stacey Abrams, huh. As if it wasn't bad enough being a woman and liking Star Trek (and having more brain cells than the whole writing team), now they crowbar her gargantuan ass into the show? Is there any backstory as to who decided this was a good casting? Or why the fuck they thought they needed a black woman as president of Earth?

Apparently she's friends IRL with Wilson Cruz, and got him to ask the producers to give her a cameo. And hey, the Star Trek franchise has had a whole ton of cameos like that, such as that prince who appeared on Voyager. However, those roles have almost always been as redshirts milling around in the background. When you try to give an actual speaking role to someone who's famous but has no real acting experience, this tends to be the result:

It's Logan in Space because Stewart is far too old, he can't use his hands anymore due to his arthritis. Every single aspect of it seems to reflect his useless, feeble state. Watching it, I felt like Patrick got the universes mixed up and is trying to play Charles instead of Jean-Luc.

I had no idea about the heart disease thing. But I could tell by how he looks in Picard that he isn't the healthiest. So it doesn't surprise me too much. Wouldn't be shock if Picard ends up killing him in a heroic sacrifice.

Does not matter. As we've already noted, he's based as fuck.

every single line is uttered like Grandpa Simpson in tone. He doesn't sound forceful at all. Listen to him struggle to get out 'activate self-destruct' in S2E1

Flunking out of Starfleet Academy was a serious burn to Locarno's ego. Locarno then used Maquis organic, locally-sourced peyote and became a bit of a burnout. His entire arc in Voyager is him rebuilding his past self.

I've heard that the lesbian showrunner wanted a celebrity and Kurtzman helped her get Adams.
As for why another woman in a leading role, well it's Kurtzman Trek, it's DIE before anything else. Hell, even when they show Earth from space they only show Africa.

And yet Shatner is almost a decade older but looks like he could walk on the bridge and confidently take command at a moment's notice. Stewart really does look like the 127 year old Bones McCoy.
 
So I haven’t been watching Picard, but I am watching the RLM reviews of it. Today the review for 2+3came out, and Jesus fucking Christ the amount of preaching and finger waggin in these episodes is ridiculous. This might as well be a lecture about “shame on you for not being Hollywood-hyper-woke-liberals, shame!”

Also Will Wheaton just exudes “punch me in the face” energy.
