Benjamin Sisko was the best of all the captains, which made DS9 the best of all the Star Trek series.

Wait, wha???

DS9 was awesome in spite of Sisko. Sisko was cringe-worthy.

However, to be fair, it may have been Brooks who I hated and not Sisko. Brooks is just horrible.

The way I saw it, when the writers weren't making him mourn his dead wife or being confused in the role of emissary, he portrayed a strong commander. The dead spouse/emissary scenes were cringe-worthy. And it didn't help that his son was such a foolish wiener.

Yes to those points, but Brooks was a complete looney toon in real life, and often that came through in his performance.

If you want a good laugh, watch The Captains. Shatner interviews all the ST captains, and even he is scared shitless by Brooks.

Favorite character and runner-up from each series:

TOS: Captain James T. Kirk - Spock
STNG: Lt. Com Data - Barkley
DS9: Worf - Odo
VOY: The Doctor - 7 of 9
ENT: Trip - T'Pol
DSC: Lorca - Admiral Cornwell

You took the Dr (whose real name ironically is Picard-o ) over 7 of 9? Turn in your man card immediately!

So glad I did not get myself invested in this ST spin off.

Turn in your brain. Of course I liked looking at 7 of 9 better, but Picardo is a far better character and his "The Doctor" character was more dynamic and interesting.

Ever...


I so can’t wait for this show...

So are we supposed to assume that Locutus is a daddy?

So are we supposed to assume that Locutus is a daddy?

It's pretty straight forward thinking... You got borg ships shown. Fucking 7of9. Obviously Picard being Locutus of Borg. First Contact having the borg queen that is free from hive connective control. Then you throw in Data, that was "assimilated" If this hovers around the borg queen, I really hope they also include Janeway and Voyager crew memebers since that series was so heavily dependant on the borg on their journey back. This series has serious potential if they cross paths with Star Trek series.... I would subscribe just for this series.

But the voyager only crossed paths with the Locutus Borg Queen at the very end. They dealt more with Queen Hendrickson.

I am hoping that Jeri Ryan will be a full cast member, but I suspect we would have heard about that if that were the case.

She is on the show but not right away. I only watched the first episode. Data was the only one on that one.

So I decided to pony up for CBS for Disco and Picard.

I am caught up on Picard (6 eps so far). It is good, but doesn’t really feel like Star Trek. It completely removed the camp in favor of grit. That’s fine, and it is done well, but it just doesn’t feel like Trek. And too much cursing. I am no prude, and have no problem with F-bombs. But again, just not Trek...

I will binge Disco in the coming week or so...

 

[calsnowskier]

And the theme song reminds me of West World...

 

[GNG]

So there is a new Star Trek series in development, and it appears to be centered on Picard. I would assume it will be a CBS show, but I haven’t seen any confirmation of that. I can’t imagine it going anywhere else (even though ST has history with both NBC and the CW). I also assume it will be on their streaming service. Stewart is, of course, reprising the role.

But what is the show? Will it be a drama centered on a retired military man? That sounds like a movie, or limited series, not an actual series. And how will the destruction of Vulcan change the timeline in this show? Will this be the same Picard, or an alternate one? Will Picard actually be a central character/theme, or will he just make a cameo to launch the show?

Bring back William Shatner.

Bring back William Shatner.

Too busy with his duties as chancellor of the ADAA...
