those pythons were serious business, they allowed him to casually snap the Queen's metal (tritanium?) spine like it was cardboard. why didn't they give him the "Assimilate this!!" line for that scene, instead of Worf?

I'm still thinking that a bet on a forwards half-shoulder roll into a crouch shooting a phaser is safe money.

that's not even counting him grinning like a space redneck while driving that stupid dune buggy. I want tea sipping, flute playing, kurlan naiskos collecting Picard back.

Absolutely shocking that the character who became who he is by fighting three Nausicaans might still have an ability to throw down.

The first Star Trek movie from Viacom, plus a Star Trek short from Discovery has bits of the back story.

I assume by Viacom you mean 2009 movie. Oh right.
I’ll check out the discovery short.

The evacuation is right out of the first Star Trek with Chris Pine. When Romulus’s sun goes supernova.
Edit: oh right Viacom. Lol missed that!

Ok this was fantastic. Picard is old and was portrayed as such. There was an engaging story line. Visual effects were well done and not “discovery”
I am looking forward to what this series can deliver.

I enjoyed it for a first episode, in one foul swoop they showed that humanity was maybe not the bastion of goodness and enlightenment that was pushed as part of the original Trek universe.
I honestly thought that the most brilliant part of the episode was the interview with the reporter which was a really clever way to catch up on a lot of backstory
To be honest, when Dahj showed up on Picard's property I leaned forward in anticipation of the typical response of an elderly slightly bitter old man "Get off of my lawn you shiftless teenager" Instead we were driven head first into a compassionate Picard eager to dive into another mystery.
We have Picard chasing down threads, and it leads to another nifty encounter. My worry stated earlier would be that Picard would once again be doing forward shoulder rolls and firing phasers, but they brilliantly made him what he is, a slightly confused old man who can barely walk up a stair case and sat huddled behind a barrier while the young girl carried the fight.
Overall I liked this because so far it hasn't fallen into the trap of normal star trek with ships in drydocks and a familiar clue with a snobby federation with a superiority complex.
Patrick Steward did a great job of playing a man who for the most part was crushed by his own beliefs and the failings of those around him and he was clearly a man that wanted deaths chilly embrace for the most part.
If I had a complaint again it was that the whole premise around

Uh, if you can transport Romulans in to shoot at and beat up the girl, why can't you transport the girl out!?!
But otherwise yeah looks good so far, looks like its going to be an adventure with some far reaching implications but more personally focused, which is great.

Really like the first episode. Pacing was good, and it seems a lot better written so far compared to Discovery. They had a shot of the Enterprise-D in the first minute, loved it.

It was a good episode, though I am not as hooked as everybody else is. The acting was fine and everything, but I feel like what I was in the mood for was something in a more stand-alone episodic format like ST:TNG. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy this, I just feel burned out by having to stay somewhat engaged (hee hee!) and attentive through the whole season for all of these shows.

That was awesome! We're only one episode in and I feel like it's already a better show than Discovery. The story was intriguing, the acting was solid, and the visuals/effects were well done.
Top notch performance from Stewart in that episode. Dude is such a terrific actor.

I thought it was excellent! Just casually dropping a Borg cube at the end, damn. Can’t wait to see how this season goes.

The one real weird inconsistency that kind of bugged me.

I'm happy that they weaved a bit of the old theme into the intro.
This episode is great so far. Stewart's acting helps.
