How did he become an android?

They transferred his memories/personality to a new android, and they were able to make it age-appropriate, so rather than sticking a very elderly man in the body of a 20-something android so that he could continue to be productive for decades to come, and so the fancy expensive android wouldn't be a waste, they made the android so that he would continue aging at his natural pace.  So maybe good for another 20-30 years.

One of the dumbest fucking things in Picard, more so than Legolas.

No.  The dumbest fucking thing in Picard was season 2, where the Borg know in 2023 that they're gonna hafta team up with Starfleet on 2400 (or whatever) but spend a decade in between trying to wipe Starfleet out.  THAT is the dumbest fucking thing in Picard.

That was JuratiBorg’s offshoot. Not all of them

Episode 2.  Not good.

Spoiler

So Picard is retired and has no actual rank...until th wants to override Captain Sourpuss.  Then he says, "Admiral's orders!!!" and everone obeys?

I'm pretty ok with that. Picard is a legend, he knows the crew will probably just follow his orders on reflex. The bad part is him having a son he didn't know about with Beverly Crusher who he hasn't talked to in what, 20 years? What?

They can't pass that actor off as being 20 years old. It has to be something else. I did wonder if they might try to say she gave birth during that season of TNG when she was gone. That was like 1988 our time, so her kid would be roughly 35.

So can I ask, how how old is Jack supposed to be?

23, 24, I think we’ve discussed in the in the series.

And you’re 34?

Yes.

That was  good episode.

They did a lot with Worf's character in DS9, but left SO much on the table.  Now we're getting it.

"I'm, as humans say, working on myself."

"It is not warrior gear...it is...casual."

I just finished watching the first season of Strange New Worlds and it's so striking how much better that show is than how the first 2 seasons of Picard were. I hope this season turns it around.

SNW really did feel like the Roddenberry-era, specifically TOS.

The idea that S3 could have been Picard finding out he's never left the Nexus, and that everybody he cares about is in the Nexus with him, except for Wesley, who wasn't invited, would have been so fucking amazing.

Idk the immortal milf hasn't shown up (yet)

Also that was a really good episode

Also, can we talk about Worf? His look and vibe are the best it's ever been so far, in my opinion. He might actually make Raffi's character arc worth a shit.

Spoiler

Think I missed the pregnancy timeline explanation. She said "Remember just before I left the Enterprise". That would be just after the events of Nemesis?

Also, Riker was right. Good lord, don't try to bow up and fight that thing. Hide as long as you can.

Buddy cops fighting enemies of the federation? Now THAT is the Section 31 show we deserve 

#525
Spoiler

Several First Contact call backs. The theme music for sure, but also Worf practicing with Berlioz's Les Troyens opera playing in the background. 
 

The season, so far, has a lot of STII Wrath of Khan to it. Main character dealing with aging, finds he has a son he's never met, goes into a capital ship battle in a nebula....too many similarities. Almost as bad as Nemesis stealing the plot of Khan. 
 

It's still good for Trek, but I want more. I'm enjoying it, but R5 is right, B to B+.

I'm getting a bit of a yearning to go back and watch this, it's been many years since I watched it from start-to-finish.  Has it held up well?

Outside of the top-tier movies, I've always felt that with a little better writing and editing, most of the medium/mediocre films have a good film buried inside of them.

True but she's like 75 so I'll give her a pass

Episode 4

That was friggen good.  But since this is Surly, I do have a quibble:

Spoiler

The holodeck has backup batteries so people can have a safe space when everything goes to pot?   Millennials, man.

But I'll allow it.  Show keeps getting better and we have 6 episodes left.

2 best lines in the episode, with Picard’s little smirk when he said that

#536

Also feels like Picard s3 could/should spin-off 2 different and distinct shows:

  • Section 31 - procedural crime type of drama with buddy cops Raffi and Worf
  • The New Next Generation on the Titan-A or a new Enterprise
    • Shaw
    • Seven
    • LaForge (both of them, the pilot daughter and the soon-to-appear engineer daughter)
    • Mura (Bajoran Tactical Officer)
    • T'Veen (science)
    • Haliian comms officer

Shaw is the most interesting character on the show.  He's an insufferable ahole...but you kinda like him.

Why wouldn't you?

Spoiler

His character arc is basically Sisko's - absolutely struggling with PTSD after Wolf 359.  Definitely an asshole, but we sympathize with what he has been through.

I'd love a legit TNG:TNG, but I'm not sure there are enough good plot lines to share with SNW.

With Discovery and Picard both ending, we will be down to 1 live action and 2 animated shows. We do not need to go into a Trek blackout again

Anyone else think the crew quarters Seven was searching looked kind of like Odo's office on DS9? I wonder if that's on purpose or if I'm imagining things

This season kicks ass

It's because, unlike S1 and S2 of Picard, the Lower Decks writers/producers love the original source material and don't feel the need to shit all over it.

Matalas is also a huge fan. A great choice for Picard season 3

#548

Also, in episode 1:

Spoiler

When Picard and Riker are at the bar and Troi is jacking him up for not being at home with her, I said, "You're becoming your mother."

 

#549

Hiring Matalas was the best decision Paramount made, besides Green lighting SNW after Disco season 2

My god this is good shit 

#550

Also the 12 Monkeys influence by Matalas is obvious. I wonder how many more 12M alums will show up in Season 3
