Picard, A New Hope For Star Trek?

[BoredSysAdmin]

I just finished episode one. So far very well done. Mostly a teaser thought. But it couldn't possibly be any further from the disastrous 2009 movie.

Han Solo would kick his Trekkie @ss from here to Pluto.

j/k. I don't follow this stuff enough to remember a 2009 movie. Thanks for the rec.

Start up has been great.

The movie did get some decent reviews but I didn't particularly like it. Didn't hate it either but the plot changed the story of the original series so much it was hard to follow...

I actually liked all 3 of the new Star Trek movies. I mean they are not great, but enjoyable enough.

I grew up with TNG, I guess you could call me biased, but IMHO TNG was the best Star Trek series era

I grew up with the original series, but the next generation was by far a better series. The original has plenty of nostalgia and was neat because it was a lot of new concepts being introduced and a bit of a trendsetter of a TV series, but the next generation was just more refined overall.
The original series probably had about as many fist fights as there were in an old western series. Somehow in the future I don't think people will fight with their fist very often

So who would win in a fight to the death between Captains Kirk and Picard?

Picard would try to talk it out and convince Kirk to see reason and Kirk, of course, would kill him.

I gather it is a weekly episode series unlike ones on Netflix of Amazon prime?
If so, I will wait till all is on and binge.

I just saw 1st episode of Picard. I am totally hooked.

PQ is great. SQ is great. Story is great.

Of note, I never saw the Star Trek series with Picard in it so I have no idea what happened in that series.

WTF are you waiting for?
Netflix has the complete series IIRC!
This will give you something to binge while you are waiting for the next episode of Picard!

'Star Trek: Picard' breaks streaming records on CBS All Access | TechCrunch

CBS' streaming service, CBS All Access, credits a trio of high-profile events -- including the premiere of its new Star Trek series, "Star Trek: Picard,"

techcrunch.com

It sounds like CBS All Access went all in on this one in the hope it will be their "Game of Thrones"! It does seem to do a lot to put CBS All Access on the streaming map!

 

[snakeeyes]

So I read that Seven of Nine is in it. I think I can wait and binge one or two seasons though.

 

[Alex2507]

WTF are you waiting for?

He's waiting for a The Game of Thrones version of Star Trek where Picard is The Mother of Dragons and No.1 rides a horse on the bridge.

Although PQ and SQ are only part of the experience, I’ve become very spoiled when it comes to PQ. Thus, I can’t watch anything with “lower” PQ, which means all the old stuffs.

I tried watching all the ST series when they were initially released, but I really hated all of them.

So I guess ST Discovery and Picard are the only 2 ST series I like.
