If most of the dilithium is gone, why do people still have anti-matter, except for weapons. Why would they still build anti-matter powered warp cores?

I guess the writers don’t know that dilithium isn’t fuel. Anti-matter is fuel. Dilithium is used to regulate the matter - anti-matter reaction. Dilithium crystals are like the control rods in a nuclear reactor. The control rods aren’t the fuel, they don’t generate any power. It’s the uranium and plutonium that’s the…

Since George Miller doesn’t really care about continuity, he had the same actor play two different characters on two occasions, I don’t think the movie will turn out the way people expect. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got Charlize Theron back to play a different character.

Is there also an increase in searches for what the opposite of irony is?

So Annie’s ability allows her to absorb electricity. Was that already established or did they just reveal it this episode? They showed TV’s and lights flickering when she used her powers but did they ever establish that’s where she gets the power for her light blasts? It could be a hint of how they’ll take down…

The Zhat Vash attacked the Federation due to the Federation’s intervention in their internal politics. How hard is that to understand?

The Zhat Vash’s opposition is internal politics. The Federation does not intervene with other races when there are factional splits within that race that oppose their intervention, even in response to natural disasters.

Why would they need to attack the Federation fleet? Just shoot the planet. Do you know how big planets are and how big space is? Those Federation ships are specks. It’d be like if I tried to shoot a house and there are flies in the way.

Except it’s not. The Prime Directive prohibits Starfleet from interfering with the internal politics of other races.

Except Picard has refused to help other races due to internal political conflict in order to preserve the Prime Directive.

I’ll forgive them for the copy+paste Starfleet ships. The special effects companies were probably impacted by the coronavirus quarantine.

The Romulans also forgot that they had cloaking devices. They could have arrived cloaked, targeted the planet, decloak and glassed the planet before anyone knew what was going on.

Except this has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the audience saw the golem thing coming. It’s about the message they were trying to convey with Picard’s last conversation with Data and how putting Picard in the golem completely undermines that message.

Magical resurrection is a Kurtzman trope. Shia LaBeouf was resurrected by the Matrix of Leadership in Transformers 2. Kirk was resurrected by magic Khan blood in Into Darkness. Tom Cruise was resurrected by a magic dagger in The Mummy. Burnham was resurrected by time magic in Discovery season 2.

"I think Zack’s criticisms are valid—I’m not going to sit here and say that killing Picard, mourning his death, and then immediately bringing him back with no lingering consequences made a whole lot of sense”

They crapped the bed with this show.

You’d think that one of the super advanced god aliens they’ve met would have warned them about the synthpocalypse.

Don’t worry, they got Marc Bernardin, who worked as an intern on DS9 and freely admits that he’s not smart enough to get DS9, to be a writer on season 2 of Picard. That’s just as good as Ron Moore, Ira Behr, or Rene Echevarria, right?

I’m still holding out hope that it’s not a Skynet/Reaper scenario. Sutra is intentionally misinterpreting the message. The super synths are not malevolent but Sutra is planning to use them like how Lore used the Crystalline Entity.

It doesn’t matter to Fox News. They’re already saying that liberals and Democrats were hoping this pandemic would happen so Trump would lose the election.
