I dunno, the failed attempt at the augment virus was a lot better than “we didn’t have the makeup budget.”

And Georgia, where he was from. 😉 </nerdypedant>

Then there was the tweet from a VFX artist who worked on Cats, saying that the joke was absolutely hilarious in the light of his having to work many 80-hour weeks on it, after which he was laid off and the studio was closed.

And the look on Picard’s face after she said it!

I need to make a “sheer fucking hubris” gif. It’ll come in handy.

As a caller said in the Mission Log Live episode for Picard E3, a flawed and vulnerable hero is much more interesting than an invincible one.

Young fry of treachery!!

I just rewatched Star Trek: Generations last Sunday instead of the Oscars. Kirk says to Picard, “Come on in. It’s all right, it’s my house. At least it used to be -- I sold it years ago.”

I read an article Matt Zoller Seitz about this — apparently the actual shocking hair-curling swearing in the real Deadwood was along the lines of “Damn your eyes, sir! You son of a whore!” Kinda yawny by contemporary standards. By the way, I’m REALLY looking forward to his Deadwood book.

“They are not the hell your whales” and “Double dumbass on you!” have become staple catch-phrases at our house.

Exactly. I hope she finds out the whole story and they reconcile (somewhat, at least — “I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye”) by the end of S1. I kinda like Clancy (and not just because of her name), despite my thoughts that Starfleet was wrong about their decision regarding the Romulans (shades of Adm.…

Also ... as much as Picard is our hero, Admiral Clancy had a point. Jean-Luc did not approach her or ask his favor in a humble way. We love him, and he is our ideal of Starfleet, but he has moral flaws just as pretty much every other human does.

See also, “That green-blooded son of a bitch. It’s his revenge for all those arguments he lost.”

It was also a comedy and that scene was played for laughs. I see it more as a 23rd Century person not knowing how to swear in the 20th Century, sort of if you went back to the 17th Century you wouldn’t know how to swear or insult someone in that time period’s vernacular, thou mutton-scented tallow keech.

You are driving through a maze of twisty back roads, all alike.

I’ve got to catch up on that show one of these days. Thanks for the reminder.

I’m so fucking sick of these video whingers/haters. All they’re doing is monetizing their whinging.

I’m totally spoiled by cases. 😄

Yeah, I’m older than I look. 😆

I love the idea. I do not love the low resolution and the fact that it looks like an uncompleted Heathkit. I think this needs more time in the oven.
