Star Trek: Picard Season Three is going to look a lot like Star Trek TNG Season Eight

You know how it is when a baby shits in a diaper and no one changes that diaper for hours -hoping that the smell will just go away?

Well, that's the Picard series

Season 3 premieres Thursday 2/16/2023

The one thing I'll give this series is that, unlike the really shitty Star Wars sequels, they actually put the band back together.

You just reminded me that I had only got through half of this and then forgotten to watch the rest - or maybe it wasn't that great.

The only one of these recent Star Trek/Wars TV things I've actually thought was good was Andor.

I'm actually in the middle of re-watching Picard as a Roman with hair in 'I Claudius' from 1976...

Nice!!

Sesh...BBC shows were almost always much higher in quality than typical American network shows.

Dallas is probably my favorite TV series of all time...but for the most part, the BBC made shows with such high-quality writing and acting, they hold up perfectly today.

And damn, does I CLAUDIUS still hold up or what? I have the whole series in a DVD box set, and I love it.

After my back surgery, I was holed up in a hospital bed in our living room and I watched lots of old BBC shows during my down time. I watched I CLAUDIUS, I watched the surviving episodes of Peter Cushing's SHERLOCK HOLMES BBC show. I also watched a couple of excellent BBC TV movies (from the 70s) of Shakespeare. Their JULIUS CAESAR show was pretty incredible. It had Charles Gray (from ROCKY HORROR, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER) playing Caesar...it even had the kid who played Damien in DAMIEN: OMEN II in a small role. The performances were stunning.

British comedy too. One episode of FAWLTY TOWERS is better than 20 episodes of almost any American sitcom.

Too many limey actors in season 3.

Jack Crusher.


Ridiculous.

[Seshmeister]

Hahaha

So you are saying that it is unrealistic that British people will be in space in a few hundred years time - maybe the realistic thing is that people like you won't see race or nationality any more and just see people.

[Kristy]

I've been over this. Limeys are not a race.

Well, so, what are they? I'm descendant of Irish/Scottish/English/Welsh/Norman French among other West Euro things and am very white. Am I a "limey"? I mean, I also enjoy vitamin C FFS!

[Nickdfresh]

Scurvy does fucking suck!

They are barely a culture of thieves and oral hygiene challenged miscreants. They're not even human.


Go on Nick, please show me this race of lime people.

I've learned to take Kristy with a grain of salt. Hell, I've learned to take Kristy with a whole bag of salt 'n' vinegar chips.

I married an Irish/English/German/Scottish/French girl.

I did one of those ancestry tests (well, my brother did but we have the exact same parents) and I'm Swedish/Armenian with a bit of Norwegian, Scottish and Egyptian blood.

All this makes my daughter Irish/English/German/Scottish/French/Swedish/Armenian/Norwegian/Egyptian.

I guess that makes my daughter part-limey.

Her teeth are fine.

I play Van Halen around the house a lot. If I leave my iTunes going and something like HUMANS BEING or GET UP comes on, my daughter makes a face and says, "Baba, why are you playing Van Halen with this awful singer? Put on Dave."

I'll add to this that the English created Monty Python and Jeeves/Wooster. The English still have the best sense of humor on the planet, in my opinion.

That is all.

[Kristy]

Looks like someone wants a cookie for ruining America.

[Kristy]

Picard sucked. 10 long-winded, over acted episodes just to get to....The Borg.

How divine.
