@MirrorAyako @sezduck @allstartrek Threshold had the guts to try something way out there. I commend it. Weird is good.

Star Trek #picard was fantastic. I don't have to like all the decisions made in the show, but I certainly had an emotional roller-coaster and teared up more than a couple times. I want more trek like this, Strange New Worlds and DISCO.

I explained it gets a lot better as seasons go on, and he lost interest 3/4 the way through.

At least it doesn't get all that much worse from here.

Continuing #startrek TNG withZeb.

We just finished "Code Of Honor" and its certainly been a while since I have seen this episode and it is as bad as I remembered it.

Even my son who normally is pretty blind to these things due to his form of autism picked up on the racist undertones with "Why are the aliens bad guys and all black people?"

Yeah. This hurt and the fact the show survived this is astounding.
Denise Crosby is great as always but the rest just falls flat. @allstartrek

@MirrorAyako I choked up hard during shaw's speech last week. This week I cried. Not even going to pretend.
@MirrorAyako I was listening to Dune recently and it really stood out how often the phrase "Dune, the desert planet" is said in that book.
Still great regardless!

So.....my kid Zeb decided he wanted to work through all of TNG. We are just on The Naked Now and it is astounding how poorly the enterprise handles a possible pathogen situation. Nah dont quarantine the guy with clear signs of infection. No protocols in place. none. This season hits different post COVID.

@allstartrek

Sitting down finally to watch Picard Season 3, Episode 5.

Really been digging this season and the naysayers can just...naysay elsewhere.
