Re: Babylon 5 Reboot

Another series going to get sacrificed on the alter of being 'remade' and turned into an absolute mess as modernisation tries to sanatise B5 into a platform for whatever current agendas are running around. You would be hard pressed to find anyone that is going to put out a performance as many of the...

Re: The Mandalorian Discussion Thread (spoilers and such)

Watched it and I appreciate some of the detail being put in but the series has major problems. Empire - Are made of complete glass and incompetent beyond belief. The only time the Stormtroopers were remotely competent was when they were helping the good guys in the episode with Bill Burr. Normally, ...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

Picard ends with a whimper of complete irrelevance. This episode managed to be offensively stupid and boring. 1) I guess Seven of Nine is getting setup for a romance with Rafi... - This can die in a fire almost as much as the semi-teasing of a connection with Rios 2) Incest Brother - They completely...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

218 ships could be small, 1 - 2 man fighters. Basically shuttle craft. While certainly a threat to a barely defended colony, that's not all that impressive an assault force in a galaxy with Galaxy Class ships, and D'daedrix class Warbirds. The Borg cube scanner shows us the same image represenation...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

I could see a 'twist' coming where the magical federation of synths turns out to be all bullshit and is an elaborate trap. Anyone foolish enough to contact them has demonstrated the capability and threat level that results in their complete extermination. Voyager and Enterprise have already establis...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

I am starting to think this series is going to try and jump the shark with Picard. The body that needs a mind transfer - Picard is dying because his body is failing him... I am imagining this as the series means of having Stewart 'die' so that a new actor can take his place while claiming to be Pica...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

This episode was abysmal. The Synth planet is 25 light years from the Borg Cube starting position How the fuck did Seven of Nine manage to guide a Borg Cube to this planet. They had no idea where Picard and Co were let alone know the location of the Synth Planet. Seven bullshits about getting the in...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

This episode was pretty much just a massive exposition dump of people talking. While it is finally nice to get some answers... did they really need to wait this long to actually give them ? We finally get some attempt at characterisation which... I kinda like but it is too little to late. Commander ...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

Next Week: Seven of Nine returns. Predictions: Seven of Nine is going to die leading a Borg revolt. I'm thinking Riker & Troi get killed, because reasons. Logically Seven should be next to die since she's headed towards Homicidal Romulan Dominatrix, but the writers of this show are so fucking d...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

Rios does mention the that Incest Brother's ship has a lot of firepower for it's size. I would assume between that bit of exposition dump and their subsequent actions indicate Rios has no chance against it. Overall, the entire premise is a wash for sense or reason. The Romulans have stealth tech tha...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

This episode was another fantastic waste of time. 1. The Mind Meld - A blatant attempt to 'download' the plot imperative into their character and create cheap suspense.

2. Queen Chamber - This episode just established every cube has a Queen chamber. This chamber has a magic escape system so... I guess they used the Sphere in First Contact in place of the magic teleporter. That seems like a gigantic renovation change but Picard seems to just recognise the room anyw...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

The major problem is that it was completely unneeded. Seven of Nine had already gone off the rails and was fighting on the fringes. Icheb getting mutilated and then being mercy killed does nothing to actually improve Seven of Nine or really motivate her to do much more than what she appears to have ...

Thanks to one of the previews... It shows the scientist lady having an extended scene with the Starfleet Commander which has a very obvious gesture occuring. I am guessing that the Commander used a Vulcan Mind Meld to extract and convert the scientist to a 'secret agent' Seven of Nine - I would happ...

The battle just seems to be a protracted snooze fest with no clear indication of what is happening, who is wi...

Ep 3 - I will give them a massive WTF credit for pulling Hugh out. That was an amusingly subtle name drop and it was annoying the fuck out of me trying to pin who this guy was since the voice was familiar. Then they drop the name and it makes sense. That said, the rest of the episode is exceptionall...

This show has literally created a brand new Romulan secret police and turned them into fools within the same episode. Instead of...

It is rather unlikely that the ENTIRE galaxy magically developed FTL that allows a galactic congress to form.

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]

The show is clearly trying to create an ST equivilent of modern politics with Refugees, isolationism and xenophobia.

Interesting Start. Sad to say that time is finally catching up for Patrick Stewart but with the timeframe it works for him. For Data it does not. Spiner really cannot play the ageless android anymore. The story itself is fairly contained and so far I think it did rather well. From the greater ST per...

Re: Netflix Witcher series (spoilers)

I have read and played the games. I found the series to be a mostly faithful to the short stories the first season is clearly based on. The parts of Yennifer and Geralt were played very well. Ciri and Triss were largely irrelevant and they did not get much to work with. Personnally, I think it would...

Re: Rise of Skywalkers reviews (Spoilers in this thread)

I found the lightsaber situation to be a bit irritating. Everyone seems to be building and rolling around with blue sabers now. I would have been more satisfied if they had shown Rey actually building her lightsaber at the start. As it is, the movies just keep HANDING things to Rey and it is the exa...
