Watching Deep Space 9. Worf is thinking about resigning! He said the Enterprise was lost. What? When? How? Who is responsible? Why wasn't I notified? This is a disaster! :freakout:

I didn't hate it :shrug:

But then I've recently watched season 1 of TNG. Picard is pretty good compared to some of those ...

I watched through the season. Some seriously weird shit, there.

Not sure I am ready for wherever they're going to take it.

Same with the Discovery thing. Not really enthusiastic about seeing where it is going.
And I thought Star Wars had the most bizarre plot stretchers.

I was done with Discovery before season 1 finished. Picard was/is better, but my issue with this most recent installment of Trek is the same one I have with Discovery and much of television these days. The season-long story arc sux compared with a stand-alone episode format. Because while it's decent enough IF the plot isn't dragged out and IF the character development is greater than my time investment in watching said characters and IF the dialogue is fresh, snappy and entertaining...then alright (notice I didn't say "great"). But if those things are absent in a season-long arc there's no way to redeem it. And I won't waste my time.

If I want to watch great Star Trek I can watch TOS and TNG anytime I want, since I bought all them on DVD 15-20 years ago.

Also, The Orville.

IMHO, Picard was really just OK with some occasional sparks of brilliance. I liked seeing these beloved TNG characters come to life again after the final two NextGen movies were so meh, but it was not so good that I feel even a wingey-tinge of guilt for downloading the whole season offa :ahoy:

It appears to be some kind of streaming video, on some sort of world wide network.

Also for some reason after listening to enough of them, “somekind of subspace theoretician” sounds amazingly dismissive from Beverly.

Garrick. The actor has said he specifically played him as bi and thus anytime it seems like he’s flirting with Bashir, it’s because he was in fact flirting with Bashir.

Two things: I'm sitting here trying my hardest to remember who Jake Peralta is in Star Trek.

:derp:

The great thing about Garrick is, even if he came right out and said his preference? You'd never know if he was telling the truth or lying or both.
