Jesus, Joan. This is both the most beautiful and most heartbreaking thing I’ve read in a long time.

“You wouldn’t download a Funko Pop!”

Agreed. He could have uncovered some mystery left over from TNG/DS9, maybe Iconian, and let the story go from there as Picard tries to solve the mystery in an intellectual fashion using his knowledge, diplomatic skills and his humanity. Q shows up in the last episode asking “What have you gotten yourself into now Jean…

They should have gone with your idea and took the risk that some might not find it exciting enough. Instead it’s all about the pew pew pew. 

I came in hoping for more quiet, thoughtful stories like the Inner Light, and Star Trek: Picard showed up guns blazing, trying to be the sequel to a blockbuster movie

Yep.  Instead of a sequel to next gen, it plays like a sequel to Nemesis.  I half expect another dune buggy chase.

I was hoping that as well for Picard. It seems to me that even Patrick Stewart is forgetting what character he’s playing, probably because he feels like he’s filming a broody X-Men and so wanders into Prof. X territory.

Reminds me of the movies where they tried to make Picard into an action hero.

On the plus side, we got the perfect statement encapsulating Picard’s fondness for Data:

I feel like by this point, after all these years, we should know whether or not They are, in fact, Giants or not. 

Wow, did you manage to jam a Mountain Goats reference in that article?!

Good. The trucks should be crushed and molded into the shape of a Prius. 

I said this yesterday and someone told me to take my tinfoil hat off. Haha!

Fast forward a few years and every studio is going to debut their own shittier versions of GeForce Now that they can charge for and that no one will use.

Probably what happened to Netflix. Every developer probably wants to have their own streaming service, or get some bidding war going on for rights to their game/

There’s zero cost for publisher or developers with Geforce Now. They don’t have to do a thing. The cost is entirely on Nvidia, hence the subscription fee.

Publishers once again shoving their “You own nothing!” d***s down our throats. Because screw you. Pay us more.

What is going through the publishers minds? They are not losing out on money, its not like Nvidia is taking money away from them, and if anyone wants to play a game they don’t own they still have to buy it. All this is is giving people access to computers that can run the games they own better than their own…

“Shut up, Mr. Burton. You were not brought upon this world to. Get. It.”

I was never a Carl Sagan fan but I do have some respect for what he brought to the table. He certainly doesn’t deserve to have his skull fucked by a thoroughly third rate attention whore like Tyson.
