Well, there it is. Jack Crusher appears to be Picard’s son. Even though there’s no way in hell that man is under 30 years old and the timeline doesn’t line up at all. Which is why I’m still holding out hope that there’s some other explanation coming (perhaps another clone of Picard, who Beverly discovered […]
I think it’s safe to say that Picard has had a shaky run thus far. The main culprit has been uneven storytelling and character development, taking a universally beloved character in Jean-Luc Picard and saddling him with a story that doesn’t work alongside new characters who don’t pop the way his former crew members of […]
Early on in the series premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, there’s a name drop that is meant to peak the audience’s interest: Captain Pike (the excellent Anson Mount) has requested a Lieutenant Kirk to join the crew compliment. Any Trek fan worth their salt is aware that Pike was the captain of the […]
And with that, we bid farewell to Star Trek: Picard season two (while we wait on pins and needles for the highly promoted Next Generation reunion to come in season three – although Jeri Ryan has gone on record saying that she will be making at least an appearance in the final season of the […]
This was the first episode of this season of Picard that felt wholly of what fans are terming “Old Trek*” – you know, classic Next Generation or Voyager where the good guys manage to fight against seemingly insurmountable odds while battling inner demons to reach a key moral by the close of the episode. And, […]
This week’s episode of Picard felt, much like Jurati’s mind, fractured in its effectiveness. Some elements worked very well – Jurati Queen’s continued plot to assimilate Earth, Soong’s downward spiral, the revelation that Q is dying and doesn’t seem to know how to go gentle into the dark night – while other pieces felt half-baked […]
For the first time this season, an episode of Picard felt more like it was spinning its wheels than providing us with something new and worth watching. I certainly don’t begrudge a series the right to take a breath and take stock of just where all the pieces lay on the board as it dives […]
Once again, Picard churned out an episode that was firing on all cylinders this week. From continuing to move the narrative forward with smart character choices and interesting confrontations to finally allowing Patrick Stewart a chance to shine while chatting with his distant ancestor, I honestly couldn’t find a fault with the episode (ok, I […]
So, I wasn’t anticipating writing a review of Star Trek: Picard centered upon mass praise for Brent Spiner’s work this season. Sure, I had heard he would be appearing in the season as yet another Soong in a long line of Soongs, but I didn’t think that the series would allow him to truly flex […]
A sign of a good episode (at least within a serialized drama) is that it answers some questions while creating more – and with those new questions, creating a desire to find the answers. While not a ton happened within “Watcher” (outside of meeting at least the physical representation of Picard’s Watcher – more on […]
