One of the points they overlooked on the trailer for plot speculation was they brought back Moriarty if there ever was a galaxy brain who's the actual villain it's probably Moriarty.

On another note I binged the second season of Picard, and while it could be argued that it is better than the first that was all negated by having Wesley Crushers annoying ass show up on the last episode.  :ufup :trash :kobeyuck :holeup :nope :forspoken

Shaw being a dumbass and letting an old retired admiral make the decisions

On one hand, the new episode is aight

On the other hand, its fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. Picard saying "fucking" Riker says "goddamn", Seven and Shaw talk about cannabis like its still a thing.

And ofcourse we need some ominous save the world type shit to happen, because ofcourse we do.

I was looking up something from a Trek novel and took a look at the upcoming Trek releases across the franchise (fucking barren outside of Paramount+ lol) and discovered that they shunted the previous novels into a new timeline to avoid conflicts with Picard. So now there's the main franchise, the relaunch novels, Kelvin and Online.

Although I also learned that Kelvin is all but dead and even when they announced another movie last year they didn't tell any of the actors they were announcing it. :lol

ViacomCBS is apparently also still pretending there's a Trek movie coming out this December even though there's no cast, no director, no writer, no production team (Kurtzman's people are doing a different movie though Paramount+ series are getting priority from them), etc.

At least the license is finally unified though. Shari Redstone apparently considers it the most important IP they own.

I sat through one season of Discovery.  :yuck


I only watched only one episode of Picard (the pilot).  >:(


All the clips I've seen of Picard season 3 seems like a whole lot of stupid mixed with some forced fan service.


Strange New Worlds is so-so, but nowhere near as bad.

One of the dumbest Trekisms ever: The pilot becoming the chief engineer. Topped only by the child flying the starship.

Fun fact: The pilot also became the chief engineer in The Orville.

Not sure about the Kirk joke. It was pretty funny when he couldn't drive a flivver. But a revolving door?

I guess the revisionist history is that Kirk is dumb and didn't grow up on Earth?

EXCLUSIVE HUGE NEWS from America's Top News Source:
Tim Russ, the actor who played the Vulcan Tuvok in Star Trek: Voyager in the 1990s, has revived his acting career with a fresh gig: portraying disgraced former President Barack Hussein Obama on television and in public, sources at U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) told Real Raw News.

For years, alternative news has claimed that Obama actual had faced justice and been replaced by body doubles and doppelgangers, spitting images of the man who reportedly smells like sulfur and was dubbed “Lord of the flies” after insects inexplicably landed on his head during numerous press conferences.

White Hats, however, remain unconvinced that Obummer bought the farm, and say parables of his demise may be premature. As one high-ranking source at Guantanamo Bay told RRN, “If someone got him, it wasn’t us, and we’ve not seen substantiable proof he’s dead. We’ve never heard chatter—and his death would be pretty big deal.”
Quote
The dossier alleges that Russ has been obsessed with Obama since at least 2014. A then-57-year-old Russ petitioned his agent to secure an audition for Southside With You, a 2015 film—entirely fictitious, by the way—about a young, lovestruck Obama wooing Michelle on a first date across Chicago. Told he was too old to play the part, Russ argued he could be de-aged through CGI and play a convincing Barack Hussein Obama.

“The CIA papers don’t say why they need actors to imitate Obama, but clearly say they approached Tim Russ last year. They mention putting Russ through rigorous training so that even astute observers wouldn’t be able to tell he wasn’t Obama unless they were right up in his face. They taught him to walk, talk, and act like Obama, just like they taught actor Arthur Roberts to pretend to be Joseph Biden. Tim Russ is the new Hussein Obama,” our source said.

Crusher's DNA +Picard's DNA will give the Borg a genetic code they need to unlock the trap they laid 35 years ago as part of the transporter technology's lossy format?! And the renegade Changelings cooperated with them because… what? Why?
[close]

I will watch a Star Trek: Legacy if they have the Enterprise G helmed by 7-of-9 and bossing around Ensign J. Crusher.

Don't need much of the TNG crew after this, but I expect that they'll roll them into seasons for ratings boosts.

Yeah, NEMESIS can suck my dick.

The only good thing to come out of that film was when Picard's clone reenacted the climax of Excalibur, hauling his impaled self along the spear to get to Picard, and I said, "Oh, he's hoisted on his own Picard."

James Kirk becoming captain by picking a fight with the old captain is still among the stupidest things in all of Trekkdom. It's certainly the dumbest thing in new Trek, and that's no small feat.

The first episode for the second season of Strange New Worlds is pretty dumb.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Big conspiracy episode. There's a dilithium mining planet we're led to believe is co-run by the Klingons and the Federation. (Each side gets 30 days in charge?) There's a huge mining cavern and wow! there's a whole Federation ship inside it. But neither the Klingons nor the Federation know about it. Only the bad guy terrorist operation made up, apparently, of humans and Klingons knows about it.

The ship inside the cavern is going to be used to start a war! And there's Enterprise!

Maybe it's me, and maybe I missed something, but this seems a very big thing to miss on a well-populated, heavily mined planet.
[close]

I did like the end, however, in which they attempted to further humanize Spock.

EDIT:

Rewatched the episode...
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Still doesn't make sense. Each "side" is granted access to the planet for 30 days and the planet's government is apparently independent. It's the Klingons' turn for access. Still not understanding how no one but the terrorists know about the missing starship inside this huge mining cavern.

Care button now off, but if anyone can explain it to the dumb folks in the room...

EDIT: The starship was built in, not recovered from, the cavern. Don't know if this is smarter or dumber, all things considered.
