Star Trek: Picard

[Jimbo]

This episode was a mess.

Spoiler

It barely went anywhere (except in Picard's head), and the whole Guinan/Picard scene could've been so much better if Q had actually appeared and moved the story some, instead of the police showing up and arresting them. With the younger Picard on the way to her mission, technically history has been fixed, so a lot more time should've been spent on finding Alice and preventing the Borg queen from assimilating humanity in 2024. Picard, having already once fought the Borg in the past, should've known better than to leave that queen alone in the ship. He knows what the Borg are capable of (as does Seven), so that whole thing is just hideous.

I could go on, but why?

I agree with what your saying her, but everyone did look Great !

Oh, no argument there.

I occasionally watch the Ready Room if I have time to kill after an ST episode and I'm interested in the guests. I know it's easy to hate on Wil Wheaton because Wesley or whatever reason, but him coming forward in later years to talk openly about his lifelong battles with anxiety and depression earned him a lot of respect in my view. I've also liked him in movies and TV shows over the years, and he does a solid job as an audiobook narrator, particularly sci-fi books by John Scalzi. With that said, I find his gushing exuberance and obsequiousness on the Ready Room a bit much. I've seen him interviewed and hosting in other contexts and he isn't always like that.

He has Over done it a bit often ...
I really enjoyed some of these interviews, Lea Thompson was great, the Borg Queen Annie Wersching was also Great.
Jerry Ryan is always good.

Of course when you have a chance to interview Sir Patrick Stewart are always Excellent.

He guys,
I know that the Picard episodes are released on Thursdays (at least thats what I've been told) .
What time or is there a time when the new episodes are available to watch ?

 

[long_time_DNC]

I've watched a few of the Ready Rooms, but to be honest, it's too much like a talk show kinda thing, and I'm adverse to those...

 

[Derwin0]

I'll watch it over the weekend, but I wasn't looking forward to spending an episode inside Picard's childhood memories...what does it do to move the storyline?

nothing except keep costs low

I just wait for the weekend...then I have time to relax and enjoy (or hope to enjoy).

Depends on where you watch them. Paramount+ doesn't always beat Amazon to the punch and sometimes (like last week) the episode doesn't show up until well after midnight PDT. Other times, it is available as early as 10pm PDT.

I personally enjoy following Will Wheaton's social media, but the ready room gets a little too fan boi for me, and especially when he interviewed Sir Patrick, it just felt like he made a fool of himself.

You would think Wil would not be that way when interviewing and of the cast from NG as he's known them for 20+ years now.
I always enjoy seeing Sir Patrick, he such a down to earth person ... (at least it sounds that way, I have never actually met him, but feel like I know him from seeing him in ST over the years).

It has really surprised me about wil. Sir Patrick was very gracious, but it's like he transforms into the insecure abused 14 year old.

But I am glad he does Ready Room. I wish they had given him, or Traveler Wesley, a guest spot in the show though.

Traveler Wes would be interesting ....
That idea could happen next year when it sounds like the old crew is going to be getting back together.

 

[SamCdbs]

Well, the latest episode seemed more like The X-Files than Star Trek. If they could have made a deal with whoever owns the rights to that show and with David Duchovny that would have worked.

Really weak episode. The plot is not moving at all.

Wesley not a Traveler anymore, remember he was in a Starfleet uniform in Star Trek Nemesis during the Wedding Celebration.

Wasn't that scene cut out of the final release, and only included as a deleted scene on the dvd?

True, but he was shown at the table ( far left) with the rest of the crew at the Wedding Celebration when Picard gave his speech and again, Wesley was wearing a StarFleet dress uniform, the deleted scene just gave information why he was there instead of with the Traveler.

That doesn't mean he can't still do the Traveler things ...
He was in uniform when he went to become a traveler.

Was that the last we saw of Wes (outside of the wedding celebration)

 

[rockymtnhigh]

It was a deleted scene. could have been part of canon, but isn't.

anyway, todays episode was much better but in my mind two episodes too late. If I could go back in time and DELETE the last two episodes this would be a much better season.
