Looks good.
That region block though
To this day I don't know how they convinced an actor of Patrick Stewart's calibre to lead a the sequel to a campy 60s sci-fi show. He's so fucking good.
Look how much he conveys in this one gif!

Feel so lucky we're getting this. The dude is 80 next year. This kind of thing doesn't happen every day... and I'm amazed we've been led to believe it's running for multiple (three?) seasons.
Looks good.

This is cracking me up for some reason. All I remember from this episode is that klingon talking super condescendingly to Worf. What's happening in this shot?
Fact of the matter is that garak who was in something like less than half of the episodes of the main cast of TNG had more character development than everyone bar data and Picard. It's not even close, my god, Rom, Jake and Quark who although I love as characters are most definitely not main cast....have more development than Riker did. Then we haven't even gotten into the first officer being a former terrorist (resistance fighter), a science officer whose been a man and a woman over several life times, a captain who is a minority raising a child alone. Even the character synopsis if you line them up are just more interesting in ds9. And I love TNG, I honest to god do, and I don't think ds9 "shits on it", but TNG gets a huge pass for how paper thin it's characters are. Let's not even get to how women are treated, troi never changes and for years just exists to be in something skin tight that has cleavage. *Talking to a romulan* "I sense deception captain" well no shit lol. Waste of a good actress
Wesley in the Naked Now almost destroyed the Enterprise and he was off his tits
Weird choice for the main starship in the show and those uniforms will take some getting used to but this show has me hyped like nothing else on TV.
I liked it, goofy warts and all
An episode that inverts all the familiar character traits you have established about your crew and has fun with them drunk - good idea!
To do it as effectively your first true episode of the series post the two part intro though is pretty nuts...
I'd expect that kind of episode in season 2 or 3 in a normal circumstance
Data and Tasha having sex will never not be ???????
Just looked it up, it' episode 17 of season 3, where Kurn comes aboard the enterprise in an officer exchange program. He basically gave his introduction and commands as a first officer to the crew.
It's quite hilarious how Picard looks straight into the camera for a quick second.
No, that's 'Night Terrors' somewhere in season 4. That's a fairly solid ep
Data looks weird. I think he'd look better if they just painted him silver and left his hair natural with some excuse about improved hair follicles or some shit lol.
I loved the "Good to see you up and about sir" line haha...

I'm liking what I see so far. Glad to see Stewart looking zippy in a couple scenes. Data's look is still a mystery to me though. Why no de-aging? Something more going on there?
He was designed to age physically (cosmetically) by his created noonien Soong. Not even a retcon, straight from the horse's mouth in a TNG episode
It'd look a lot better if it wasn't paired with Spiner's very-70-years-old voice.
The uniforms are still kind of terrible, the Minority Report UI stuff is bad (RIP LCARS), and I'm concerned about excessive and thoughtless fan service, but I'm glad they're actually going forward in the universe instead of mucking around with prequels after all this time. They've got some good writers and some good cast, so hopefully we get a good show too.
I actually agree with this 100%, except even with all that, it never hits the heights that TNG did, and I'd argue that DS9 has the lowest lows too. TNG suffers from a very questionable first season with an episode so bad I never watch it anymore, but it ramps up so well and only really stalls again at season 7. No other trek has been able to match that.
Didn't Data sacrifice himself in the last movie? I think it's a dream.
Oh, thats the one that scares me.
I will give the naked now a watch, sounds funny.
Fair money says this latest trailer with Data is a dream and the previous trailer he's with B4...
Needing some info from B4's memory imprint of Data?
Do ittt...
I know Season 1 and 2 get some stick round here but personally I thought they had a freewheeling charm
I'd take 1-2 over Season 7 anyday where they are entrenched in autopilot in their characters and recycled efforts at plots done more effectively in seasons 3-6
All Good Things still remains one of the best finales of all time though, so IDK
in the last trailer i thought he sounded pretty much exactly the same as he did in TNG--it was kinda amazing actually. i'm pretty sure they're deliberately distorting his voice for that dream sequence.
Pretty sure Kurtzman reached out to Stewart to try and get him to return to the character and then Stewart helped him develop the idea for the show itself.
Trek uses this location a lot, not just these two.
Plot twist: Picard is actually already captured by the Borg, and they're continually running deep learning simulations with him to counter every possible strategy the Alpha Quadrant can come up with.
Wow, they got the German VAs from TNG back. Seeing the German version of the trailer was fucking unreal.
Whoa, didn't know that, gotta look that up. That crafty Soong!
Do you reckon this is supposed to be the same place as where kirk fights the gorn or do you suppose they just thought it was a cool location to film in and didn't realise they were using a past location?
As mentioned, it's used a bunch in Trek. Spock hangs out on it when it stands in for Vulcan in STIV, for instance. The jagged peak is definitely the most recognizable vista from the location though.
People remember TNG through a nostalgic haze of ionic interference that completely prevents the use of transporters.
Meanwhile, DS9 would just be one of the most genuinely diverse and progressive shows in the world even if it aired today.
DS9 is not gonna get any love in this series. Just look at those uniforms. Any of them. The dream ones, the new ones. DS9 never existed.
Yeah, it's wicked clever writing too. Basically garauntees Brent spiner can always play Data
How pissed is everyone going to be when
They kill Picard off in the first season and then the crew renames the ship after him and that's why the show is called Star Trek: Picard.
I want to like it but ehhhh at it being so action heavy. I don't want to see an 80 year old Picard sword fight.
And yeah that Data was rough. Looks like they didn't bother to deage Picard in the TNG uni.
Glad to see Frakes and Troi, though I'm a little surprised he's not still gallivanting around the universe
