I wonder how many people are just watching for the one girl's boobs.

And this, this was beautiful:

I'm not surprised, I think a lot of people thought Patrick Stewart was a much smarter person than he was because of how he played Picard in the old series and seeing this now just makes you realize how much of a generic Hollywood tard he really is. William Shatner, as goofy as he is, is probably a more mature and complicated person than Patrick Stewart.
Patrick Stewart to many seemed like someone who was typecasted as a lot of mature wise old men, but really is a man with a late life crisis that wants to be seen as this action actor who could be seen as intelligent as the roles he plays.

I very much thought that, as he usually played a more reserved and intellectual character. Meanwhile Shatner who was the more fun loving captain and later the Alzheimer afflicted lawyer Denny Crane is doing cool shit like taking flights into space and trying out treatments to prolong his life decades ago.

For a lot of people, myself included, Picard was probably the face of Star Trek as he was the transition to the more stoic and serious version with the only character more serious than him being Sisko and that was because it was war time. At this point I don't think we'll ever see a real Star Trek series again, it's all going to be shitty politiTrek and action trash, to the point that you might as well just call it something else. Which is sad, because unlike other sci-fi universe that are far more limited in scope Star Trek was probably one of the few that could continue on with new adventures and not change the feel of the universe as it did up until the Abram's movies.
 
Nutrek is so dreadful that I thought mike and rich were nearly done with their re;view but only 16 minutes actually passed
 
I was hoping this ReView would explain the plot of Star Trek Picard but everything they said about the plot is just baffling. None of what they were saying had any connection to each other. It would be fine if it were an episodic series and each episode dealt with one of these plot points in a self contained episode, but they have ten different plots that all need to come together and no rhyme or reason as to how they all fit together.

6 minutes in and I hate Wil Wheaton even more than I thought. Just making that after show a G4 Froskin level of setting fire to goodwill that the show was already destroying
All those clips of him interviewing the actors is just pathetic. Its like he's on his knees begging for a job.

He really should have retired instead of doing this shit. Take the last few years of his life to enjoy his millions: go muddinn in dune buggys, play with his grandkids, go golfing, relax on his yacht. If he needed to have his ego fed and inject his politics into something become a producer for a Star Trek show, have them fax him the script every week, spend an hour reading it, and then page them saying he approves because they said Orange Man bad before going to tee off. No need to subject himself to being in this dreck for months on end.
 
I can't wait for the finale video, because honestly it feels like they've accepted that it's over, they have moved on, but they are also gonna be forcing themselves to watch the season finale even after no more fucks were given.

The next one they will be either raging, or sitting apathetically without the energy to talk much about it.

Or literally lying down in graves
 
Mike's feeling of cringe and pain about something so beloved reminds me personally of Mass Effect. I know they trolled everyone with a Mass Effect Andromeda review on Pre-Rec but I would like to see Rich honestly talk about the series and how he liked it more than Star Trek after ME2 only to have it shit on with ME3.
iirc it was ME2 that killed the series for him and he didn't play ME3 at all, one of the things he mentioned was how Jack could just walk through vacuum while only wearing a small breathing mask while half her body was open to space, and how fucking stupid that was
 
All that I am getting about Picard is that every single episode is unrelated, but they pretend like its telling one big story, and the only consistent through-line is a bizarre substory involving a time traveler getting in trouble with ICE.
 
Star Trek has always been COMMUNISM IN SPACE™.
They're just being honest about it now.
No, it was liberalism in space, a world where the Federation advances the American political ideal of legal equality and social advancement through equal opportunity. The early issues were because this doesn't correctly mesh when you have instantaneous construction of matter, but TOS was simple and condensed enough that it wasn't that noticeable. When the newer shows expanded the series into covering almost everything about human life and their own contemporary issues these compounded into a bit of mess. It's only today where open Communists are writing Star Trek because they completely misunderstood the original intention. They think the show was always about some Communist utopia when the truth is Roddenberry was at heart a liberal who hated on the far left plenty of times. He was against the Soviet Union as a bastion of tyranny and laughed at the counter-culture of his day for being useful idiots.
I like Mike's Alex Kurtzman cosplay.
