In the States, this is showing exclusively on CBS's dumbfuck streaming service, so I'll never see it

But it looks pretty fun and I hope it ends up better than it sounds like Discovery turned out

[Shallowed]

Just pirate it

[topleybird]

No

[redbreegull]

yeah it sucks that it's only on the CBS service like who the fuck wants that

i'll probably get a free trial to watch the first ep though

[smashingjj]

i pirated it cause I already pay for Netflix. Pretty sure whatever judge ruling about my case gonna be like yeah but he already had fuken netglic.

[redbreegull]

yeah first ep was pretty good I would say. not a fan of the CGI and the ship effects look like the phantom menace but other than that I enjoyed it.

[MyOneAndOnly]

I loved it. I suggest watching the last "Short Treks" as well, cause it acts as a 10min prelude to the Picard series.

I have my fingers crossed right now for a Capt Pike series. They seem to be hinting at it, cause several of this winter's Short Treks episodes involved Pike, Spock, and Number One.

[redbreegull]

seriously though the cgi, like it's 2020 guys

[MplsTaper]

[redbreegull]

those effects were, at least, average for their time. the effects in Picard are bad and very fake looking. I would take the special effects from the 90s shows over this for sure

since enterprise, every star trek has just entirely ditched real effects and models and it sucks dick

[Kahlo]

I really enjoyed it, but Red Letter Media have informed me that I am of course wrong:

[TuralyonW3]

It was great, I’m on board

Fuck red letter media. Fuck all stupid white fanboy online reviewers really

[Jerry's Ray]

I fucking loved the first ep. Hooked me right in.

Oh and I’ve been gone awhile... hi to everyone that remembers me.

[redbreegull]

hey guys pro tip

if you sign up for a 1 week trial of cbs all access and cancel in the last ten minutes, they give you a free month trial

[wHATcOLOR]

i coincidentally started rewatching The Next Generation a few weeks ago, midway through season 3 now. looking forward to checking out Picard after this

Wife and I have done this as well. Just watched The Best of Both Worlds, which will probably come up at some point with Picard.

[topleybird]

If you're in the States, CBS has put up the first episode for free, I assume for a limited time:



I liked it well enough. TNG, especially in the movies, always seemed very Picard-and-Data-centric, and I kind of wish they hadn't gone right back to that well for this (even though Data was always my favorite). I was also sighing heavily toward the beginning at the tired "frail-looking young woman has been programmed to be an ass-kicking superweapon" idea, but at least there's, I dunno, more to it than that in her case, maybe?

I dunno, kinda mixed feelings. If reviews continue to be good, maybe I'll get a free trial at the end and watch it all in a week.

[Kahlo]

The second episode felt quite obvious and a bit flat. Still beautifully presented visually, but fairly plodding in terms of plot.

[Joey Goldberg]

i don't know anything about any of this but i really wish they'd left out the "Star Trek" & simply called it "PICARD"

missed opportunity, i suppose...

Accurate.

[redbreegull]

I thought the 2nd episode was better than the first

[wHATcOLOR]

i love this so much

[topleybird]

I've seen both of these like a dozen times over the years and I'm still sputtering with laughter rewatching them today

[redbreegull]

the best

[Joey Goldberg]

that's good but it's no "The Picard Video"

i'm sorry
