You are not going to explain him are you ? lol. There is a special name for these types of  items, "easter eggs", usually though they do not hog the story line, are hidden in plain sight. If it turns out we do not see him in the last 2 eps then thats all the guy is? and a waste of time

Re: Star Trek: Picard

well thats eps 9 done. I suppose we will have to wait until next week to see if the show is able to pull all the dubious threads together. Stewart does sound really old & more than a bit feeble doesn't he?

Well he is 81 and the shooting of a TV show is no walk in the park either and puts a toll on you.

2x9. Not a fan.

The gunfight felt like they were trying not to damage anything, the gun lasers weren't used properly, way too many illogical decisions (like moving too slow while being chased or talking too loud with the bad guys literally around the corner), and worst of all: letting the Borg Queen just fly away and thus endangering the future of humanity.

well

the bad guys cannot hit the good guys? The lasers were giving the bad guys away - not very prefessional. I still wonder how that cop of eps 8 is going to figure in the final eps & I can not wait to see why Picards mental problems affected Q & he is dying as a result, absurd idea really - my mind boggles at that, I bet it will be  a cop out.

I think the show has been going downhill since eps 8

Re: Star Trek: Picard

Without spoilers, there was one thing that I saw before it was revealed but in totality. I did not expect the ending.

...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

Aside from those 2 bad episodes in S2, I've enjoyed S2 more than S1. I'm hoping for a good season finale. smile

Re: Star Trek: Picard

210 gets an eyeroll, a faint "meh", and the sappiness gets an "oh please gag me", that said, the best part for me was when....

▼Spoiler

...Wesley Crusher showed up and I started quoting Mr. Butlertron from Clone High, saying:  "Don't mention it.......Wesley.", over and over and over again. lol Still no Federation Starship Relativity?  Did Wesley re-create another version of the Temporal Integrity Commission? That could be a good show, actually.  We'll see next year in season 3.

I guess the nice thing about these shows, is that the torture test is only 10 episodes per year. lol

Re: Star Trek: Picard

so the cop was a time waster & served no purpose than to excite some trekkies ( I assume). I subtitle this eps the "get your tissues out, touchy/feely eps". Realy a badly thought out season. Q not really necessary and Picard's love life embarrassing. This show achieved what Discovery took 4 seasons to do, in 2 seasons. puke.

Good question.  Who knows.  Season 2 almost completely ignored season 1 and created a highly tedious and pointless storyline that went no where, and really brought out the best in us as Wizard was yelling profanities like "FFS" lol and I was busy puking, sooooo, season 3 will probably be whatever annoys trekkies and makes them hate Star Trek.  Just guessing. wink

▼Spoiler

Let's reset the timeline and have the Borg queen become part human and create a bigger threat so the Borg have to work with humanity.  Yay!  Just what we always wanted! roll Season 3 will be about whatever is about to come out of that hole the Borg are guarding in Federation space.  Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was Wesley Crusher who comes out of the black hole; he's the threat the borg are scared of. lolz.  lol wink

Re: Star Trek: Picard

season 2 was a S.T version of Avengers Endgame film? saying good bye to the old characters ,  though rather diluted  by fact that Picard is coming back! Pointless. It seemed to think providing backstories was a good basis for a season ( eg Sung, a really nasty man). It was a vampire season feeding on the life blood of past star trek, though setting up false hopes and good feelings

▼Spoiler

( the whole point of saving the ancestor space mission viz saving the ocean) since WW3 and first contact stiil happened? And all of this so Picard can sort his love life out.

▼Spoiler

And of course it had to have The Kiss so the diversity box could be ticked

big_smile I liked him showing up.

I liked 2x10, and thus 80% of season 2. A good (enough) season for me, better than season 1. Now let's see what season 3 will bring. smile

he has a habit of turning up in other shows. He appeared in a Supergirl-dc universe crossover cameo as a doom-sayer

Re: Star Trek: Picard

@ All of you

One look at Wil Wheaton's stupid face and I'm laughing.  Knee jerk reaction.  Doesn't matter what.  So, every show that's boring should add Wil Wheaton, as far as I'm concerned.  Great for my inner Crow T. Robot.  The season was already quite comical (not in a good way), so it worked for me.

Didnt he also turn up in an eps of the Big Bang Theory in a monkey suit. It seems these cameos are the only parts he gets these days?
