Not convinced by the villain, don't like Jack, don't mind the Raffi stuff but it's been done before. The Raffi B story has allowed Worf to do some good stuff, so I’ll allow it. Fair fucks to all involved to give the audience essentially what they wanted after the shambles of series 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Enjoyed episode 3. I like the use of music from Wrath of Khan at the start when the Titan went in to the Nebula. Picardy asking Crusher why she was such a c**t regarding not telling him about Jack was good stuff. Who is this Vadic bint? Why does she want to capture Jack so badly? Enjoyed Worf's patter. "Beheading are on a Wednesday" was a great line. River getting Picard tell was top stuff too. Picard's repeated insistence that they attack was just daft and Riker kept trying to tell him this. When eventually they ran out of options Riker was shown to be absolutely correct. Picard really did look like a daft old tit in that moment.

scottsdad Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I am very much enjoying this. Episode 3 was excellent, and good to learn who the baddies behind the scenes are. Worf alluding to his old friend, an honourable man, was a subtle but touching tribute, I thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squalor Vic Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I had no idea what was going for large parts of episode 4 but I'm still all in with this. Great fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Enjoyable episode but a bit of a filler one, with only a couple of scenes of note to the overall story (those being that Vadic is a changeling and the final one with Jack; incidentally, that red door thing was terrifying!). A tad silly with the escape mind, with some convenient energy pulse nonsense, but I suppose that's classic Star Trek stuff. Also, nice to know that you can still get fish and chips in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Good but a few things came to mind. When Shaw was in the holodeck talking about Wolf 359 I honestly thought he would be revealed as a changeling at that stage. Second, why isn't Shaw back in command of his ship? A wee leg injury that hasn't stopped him for a minute surely isn't reason enough to hand command to Riker. What are those visions that Jack is having? Bound to be the root of this whole thing. Finally, was this Picard's first f-bomb? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfleet would surely have a regulation since the dominion war they could dig out. Could have occurred off camera I suppose. Reckon when Admiral Picard override Shaw's orders he had lost what lingering authority he had. Given the way he spoke to Picard probably lost lot more respect from his crew. Feels like he will get some sort of redemption by sacrificing himself at some point to save the crew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for a bucket (which by the end Odo never used) was a little odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for a bucket (which by the end Odo never used) was a little odd. It got touched on in the latest episode. There was some sort check before boarding as default. These changelings have evolved though. Which can explain the CGI meaty soup being sucked down the drain look instead of the shiny 90s effect. Seen a recent betting ad (PaddyPower/Bet365). Reminding everyone that Colm Meaney's right there! If we're doing the cameos bring it on Picard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went off the first two series after the first couple of episodes, this one is great so far. I still don't think dual or multi track narratives work as well on TV as they do in Sci-Fi books, and I still can't stand Rafaella, she acts like she's just walked off the set of Law and Order or something, just doesn't work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also makes an appearance in the first episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, he’s the Admiral that chases Pike, who’s on horseback, through the snow in his shuttle and tells him to get his arse back on the Enterprise!!! Though he looks a bit different from the animated version!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Episode 8 is, sadly, really silly. Brent Spiner really cannot act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
