Star Trek General Discussion

[Fero McPigletron]

Oh, I guess I forgot Bump of Chicken did that Transformers tribute.

Ok, watched Next Gen movie Insurrection. There's some cute moments but the story is kinda basic. Fighting over a resource? Aliens didn't even look that cool.

Did Troi really not kiss Riker during his bearded years? Yuck? Really?

Geordi getting to see was nice. Puberty Worf was funny. Picard in love was, um, wha? Data playing games was ok. I actually kinda liked the singing during trying to capture Data. Hokey but Ok.

While the start felt very sci-fi, I felt the plot to be like a TV ep. Could have been bigger, c'mon.

One more movie and I go with Discovery and Picard. I already know I'll be sad when that Borg kid who grows up gets killed

This is generally the consensus, is that it feels more like an upscaled 2-parter then an actual movie.

 

[Cybersnark]

Which was a criticism at the time, but has become praise as we get further and further from having TNG on TV.

You can watch TNG on Pluto TV.

Well, the aliens were basically just old people, as you see how they look on the planet.

Did Troi really not kiss Riker during his bearded years? Yuck? Really?

She did a few times, there is a youtube clip showing all the times that she did on TNG. This was really just to setup them finally getting back together and the tub scene. I loved the scene later where he says smooth as an android's bottom.

Geordi getting to see was nice.

My favorite thing about this film is that Geordi gets his vision.

Picard in love was, um, wha?

So the last two films, you have to remember were very rough for Picard. Losing his family in the first film and then dealing with the borg again in the second. They were very hesitant to pitch this idea to Sir Patrick Stewart as they thought that he wouldn't go for a film where he is overthehill and him feeling more youthful due to the briar patch. Stewart loved it though. He was a bit tired of Picard being sour or angry, and wanted a chance for the character to cut loose a little.

Data playing games was ok. I actually kinda liked the singing during trying to capture Data. Hokey but Ok.

The whole setup with a malfunctioning data was great to me. The singing was a neat way of getting him to trust him.

While the start felt very sci-fi, I felt the plot to be like a TV ep. Could have been bigger, c'mon.

I loved the ending where the Riker maneuver is coined.

"He wouldn't!"

Enterprise E getting closer on a collision course.

Captured Worf sitting on the enemy bridge, "Yes. He would."

One more movie and I go with Discovery and Picard. I already know I'll be sad when that Borg kid who grows up gets killed

Watch Picard before Discovery, as it picks up right where the last film leaves off, and its a much better series overall.

 

[Axaday]

I liked Insurrection better the second time I saw it. I think there have only been two. But...

It isn't an insurrection. It is just insubordination.

And they totally screwed up their McGuffin. If you are seriously wounded and trapped where people cannot get to you, the last thing you want to do is slow down time.

 

[Fero McPigletron]

I'm sure the Riker maneuver of sitting down was used by fans first. How did the fans feel that their term was used for something else tho?

I'll see Nemesis tomorrow, so I have time to watch Picard Discovery while mourning for the loss of Lower Decks in two days.

Oh I did see Next Gen Nemesis. Funny to see Janeway on screen (Voyager is showing already?). They keep pulling Worf out of DS9 to join their adventures? Weird that Riker shaved but whatever. Dang, that wasn't Lore? I thought it was Lore somehow.

Anyhow, this was more exciting for me, even tho I was surprised to find out that Tom Hardy was the bad guy?!?!? I kinda sorta don't like seeing his pouty lips, haha. But have to admit, he was an interesting enough villain. Just weird that everyone was probably suppose to be surprised at his reveal that he and Picard were suppose to look alike. I was wondering why people were a bit shocked during his first face reveal; like, what are they seeing that I'm missing?

Didn't expect Data to die here. It kinda happened so fast. Maybe he could have teleported the computer console instead, haha. But, yeah, the not Lore could be the new Data or something.

Nice that the Romulons are making peace but I guess Lower Decks shows that it didn't really take.

I'd put Nemesis and First Contact as better than Generations and Insurrection. First Contact would be higher if only the Earth side part matched the urgency in space vs the Borg.

So I'm to watch all season of Picard first before watching Discovery? Or do I watch them parallel?
