I like that they wake up in ancient egypt in front of a pharaon and their reaction is just “something is wrong”.

The bigger problem here is that the writers do not understand the term REFIT, even after messing it up last year by calling the new Stargazer a refit.

It’s just so weird that the Titan was so well-established in Lower Decks, then the class was shown on-screen, then they turn around and basically erase that ship just out of producer fiat, and for a design that has no connection to anyone on the show. At least with the Stargazer in S2 the connection made sense.

Yup. I get the argument that it would have been a bit long in the tooth (lord knows any ship with Riker and especially Troi* on board would’ve crash landed AT LEAST once in 20 years), but why not an “A” upgrade of that ship design?

Who else are you supposed to write for? People who aren’t fans of the show? They’ve got Discovery for that.

The show is literally called Picard. Why didn’t the ship look like a throwback to the Enterprise-D????

Except it’s not. They explicitly state in the episode itself she’s a refit, and the same ship Riker commanded in Lower Decks. The Captain even made a remark about having to scrub all of Riker’s jazz music out of the computers when he was being a colossal dick at dinner.

My favorite was that 21st Century Guinan didn’t remember meeting Picard in the 19th Century, because Picard traveled back in time from a timeline where Time’s Arrow couldn’t have happened...yet Bus Punk remembered his encounter with Spock in 1986.

The problem is Lower Decks is the only NuTrek series that actually cares about connecting to the past shows.

“I said to production designer Dave Blass, ‘I think the Titan should feel something like this.’”

Everything I read about Discovery is just more and more nuts, and not in a good way.

I’ve never seen a property-B based on a Property-A so dead set on doing everything they can to NOT be accused of property-A nostalgia that almost every choice other than character names seems like a callback to another form of fiction or property.

Why Star Trek: Picard’s New Main Ship Looks Like the Classic Enterprise

I think it would have been really powerful to just show the same Luna class we've been seeing in Lower Decks. It would've helped connect this era of Trek in a way we haven't seen since the few TNG/DS9 crossovers. 

Perhaps it makes sense then that, on reflection, as a new century begins and the Federation picks itself up from a period of crisis, that it wants its flagships to reflect an old era—a time of optimism and exploration.

There’s more solid streaming content than you could ever consume to entertain you while you wait for the next Marvel show. We discovered in the video game live operations space years ago that you can NEVER keep pace with the rate at which new content is consumed,  and tying to do so is burning out the creators, VFX…

Your ranking isn’t wrong to be honest.

I’d rank BP2 lower than Eternals, honestly.

I’m fine with it. While Marvel Studios has always released what they announced (with Inhumans being partial exception), they have no qualms about pushing release dates for different reasons. And I like that - I prefer something delayed than something rushed. There is more than enough entertainment to keep me occupied…

It looks like a Disney remake: a poor, muted copy of a colorful, dynamic animated film.
