It’s a matter of opinion of course, but to me Picard 1/2 suffers the same malady as S31: “all we need is a big star to sell our franchise”

Season 3 felt to me like the owners of the franchise desperately trying to salvage the final season from Patrick Stewart’s meddling.

As for Kirk’s stories you’re right he’s done if not already overdone, at least as a main character. Who knows how he may work as a supporting character 🤷‍♀️

I wish the best for those legally compelled by their HOA to maintain a colony of unwanted plants.

Maybe one day sanity will return to their regime and they'll be able to grow tomatoes and other peasantries like the rest of us.

Imagine you could sell $39.99 shovelware to almost every single kid that watches Jimmy Neutron, because you're gonna drown that show in ads for it.

The child then grinds down the parents' resolve and the money is eventually spent.

I totally didn't witness this first hand when sculpting feces into nickelodeon-shaped games.

I’m dying, this is a great rundown 😆🤣

As I stare at this meme, bewildered, I realize I am only a dilettante that knows 2 songs 🤣😆

Viva Mintaka III 💪🏴 I love that episode for having primitive superstitious Vulcanoid aliens instead of generic humanoids.

Which episodes do you find the most timeless?

I have never seen so much monotone reading of dialogue. Renegade Soval carried every scene he was in, so at least there’s that.

Thanks for opening my eyes to something new 🍻

Hey thanks, it's all new to me. I know what I'm watching this weekend.

What's this, what's this? There's Trek alum everywhere!

First time I saw him outside Star Trek was in a Scarlett O'Hara TV miniseries.

Imagine my surprise when he's driving her around in a horse and buggy: an olde time transporter chief!

I felt like in S4 they really hit a balance between episodic and serialized star trek. The arcs are 2-3 episodes and tightly focused. The standalone episodes seemed like a way to walk back from the whole season arc in S3.

Watching it now, S3 feels ahead of its time. I want to believe there is enough content to edit it down to a Netflix style 10 episode season of all the best parts.

Also augment trilogy deserves praise for shooting Archer out of a hatch into deep space and transporting him mid-trajectory and half-dead from exposure. He's seen some shit.
