Star Trek Picard Season Three


Today’s half-time trailer has been released…

I know people like Robert Meyer Burnett are saying this is going to be a return to form, for the franchise, but all I can glean from these trailers is more of the same “darkness” that has plagued this show from the beginning…from the cinematography, to the dialogue, to the situations that we see glimpses of…

There's only one great thing happening that week that I'll be looking forward to and it isnt a group of actors being themselves reading out scripts written by people who don't understand Star Trek, on dimly lit sets.
I'm really excited for Ant Man and the Wasp Quantumania on the 17th of Feb.

I love Rob, but his over-praise of Season 3 really reeks of shilling. I guess we'll find out its really worthy of all that praise soon.

I agree; Rob’s someone I am usually 100% in agreement with.

His take on season 3 is certainly a 180 degree change in the assessment of the series.



“Star Trek, now, for whatever reason…it’s all tropes…there’s no new ground being forged, here…it’s a weird trope / nostalgia trip, all the time…the action and adventure that we’re getting is some of the most ‘dumbed down’, cliched, science fiction concepts that I can possibly imagine…”

So far, I am seeing a lot of “tropes” in the Season 3 trailers, to include lots of ‘member berries, yet another “Khan-like” antagonist with a personal vendetta and need for revenge, etc.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Except that we KNEW Kahn as an audience and we knew his reason for revenge.

Rather than a new villain that we’ve known nothing about for 35 years that is now on a revenge course.

Star Trek: The Vengeance of Honey Bunny

She’s got the wrath of Khan and the hair of Corey Feldman…

Move that lock of hair over to the middle of the forehead and we have a dead ringer for Squiggy…

And how are the TNG cast honoring the franchise?

Dark sets, superhero leather uniforms. Squabbling among each other…

It looks like Batman… on the Enterprise.

It’s dead, Jim.
 
It makes sense, especially when you realize everything that happens after he entered the Nexus seem to center around him and his saving the Universe:

Picard and Kirk - the greatest Starfleet Captain - team up and he (Picard) is left standing while Kirk died

Picard becomes an action hero and goes back in time and defeats the Borg

Picard becomes an action hero again and defeats an evil Starfleet admiral and hooks up with an ageless MILF

Picard becomes an action hero again and defeats his evil clone bent on galaxy domination

Picard defeats a Romulan conspiracy and ends up becoming immortal (by becoming an android)

Picard goes back in time again to defeat Q and the Borg and hooks up with a hot Irish/Romulan MILF

It's all about his delusions of grandeur and the Nexus is giving him what he wants to see (aside of course from that ridiculous Dickensian Christmas scene with a wife and kids, which was the Nexus just testing the waters I think :lol).
 
They may as well bury Trek after this. And while they are at it, any other franchise, since they will ruin those too. Then we get rid of televisions, cars, industry, food processing (all for the sake of "green"), and let everything crumble into dust as we all pay reparations for offending everyone and everything under the sun.

At that point, we just stop all civilization in the name of woke. No one is allowed to disagree with anything, all of us must become vegans and run around in grass skirts, eating whatever grass we can find and letting wild animals devour us.

Our end as a race: sitting around a pile of rocks with glum faces, never allowed to disagree, have an opinion or even breathe heavy lest the shrill cry of "reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" be uttered by the woke ones. Our days end as we sit miserable, all for the sake of not triggering anyone.

Then the sun devours the Earth in its' red giant phase, burns out to a black dwarf, and the universe turns into a sea of loosely-spaced, ever expanding photons, and entropy dominates all.

Darkness forever.

And of course, the one lone voice echoing humanity's last salient thought, drifting throughout space for all time:

"I ordered a latte and THIS is an Americano!! MAKE ME A NEW ONE!!!"

Thus ends the universe: not in a bang or a whimper, but in whining.

Enjoy your evening folks... I'm going to sit in my bedroom, curtains drawn and no lights,

Every single nail was hit squarely on the head with this post.

Except… I’m currently working on a script for a continuation of The Greatest American Hero, with the next Hero, a single dad named Drew with a teenage daughter named Avery who is an absolute comic nerd and she helps him learn his powers after he too loses the manual.

So yeah, I’d like to see that as a Disney + show.

I can't help but reread this like Rorschach's, "this city is afraid of me..." speech

And unfortunately, they ran out of soy for that latte' (not directed at you, but at that last, lone, echoing voice clenching its fist towards the Heavens)

***Continuing in Rorschach's voice***

Good Joke

everybody laugh

Roll on snare drum
