Did freaking Kurtzman really try and take credit in that video 😂🤦‍♂️

Might be one of the better interviews that Terry has done so far.

He was clearly as excited as the interviewer was. 😅

Dom Keating has a habit of cutting the guest out (which is quite annoying). Lavar will be on next week.

Edit: Does the above pic remind anyone of the DNA Helix pattern to a slight degree or I'm am I totally off my rocker?

As per Admiral Picard's Quote:  "Such Borg Technology" about Fleet Admiral Shelby's tactic of Fleet Formation (I maybe incorrectly in saying that honestly).

I finished S3 last night and I have mixed feelings.  I do not know if it  was good or not.  I might have seen it through the nostalgia glasses.  I loved next generation.

It was not "good," merely less reprehensible than previous seasons... or indeed, most anything produced under Kurtzman's auspices. 🤕

For me it was excellent.

Ah, yeah... Picard season three was meticulously crafted to require viewing through the nostalgia glasses.

Without the nostalgia glasses it's pretty mediocre television.  It's eminently watchable, which is more than can be said for the previous seasons.  A fast food hamburger and fries as opposed to the dumpster diving for ham scraps behind Subway that was seasons one and two or the lovingly cooked and beautifully plated steak and baked potato that is Strange New Worlds season one.  It's good, it's just not great.

Ships of season 3.

Did anyone catch that there seem to be two versions of the intro in the final episode of Picard?

You really didn't miss much.

Taken with seasons one and three, it reminds me of nothing so much as the extended "Canto Bight" digression in the middle of Star Wars: the Last Jedi.  The plot starts out doing one thing, then while that's going on the characters go somewhere else and do something largely unrelated to that for much of the runtime, then rejoin the main story shortly before the end.  Except instead of taking an extended side trip to a resort planet to make judgmental remarks about people on holiday they go back in time by way of an evil alternate universe even more cartoonishly villainous than the normal Mirror Universe to do some hackneyed social commentary about the mid-2020s and a weird subplot about global warming.

For all Starships nit pickers out there (you know who you are).

From David Blass Twitter account and recently posted. Note that there are two references to the Akira Class with subtext.

Good thing with this is that you really don't have to have seen the previous two. Does doing so help with some back story? Sure. But it's not essential, and some things like the Borg, ,will actually seem a little less confusing thanks to Season Two. In the end, it hearkened back to a lot of TNG, which was the point.

[sh9000]

A fan surprise.  This was nice.

Ensign Esmar (Jin Maley) gets a short interview.  Actual chat discussion found Reddit (can be a curse or blessing)

Edit: Found another one! Elizabeth Dennehy (Fleet Admiral Elizabeth Shelby). Maybe more to follow.

Okay, this cements my loathing and contempt for the JJ-Prise.  There's no reason to MAKE IT BIGGER.  The Galaxy-class is big enough for my needs, thank you very much.

[sh9000]

I might order the book.

Lavar on the Shuttlepod Show

Note: This format use today has gotten many people upset as they we're used to the original format and not liking change. Dom has confirmed that Terry Matalas will be on, date to be finalized.

    

[sh9000]

The season 3 blu-ray will probably be released in October with preorders coming soon.

So fun fact, he played the Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise in a movie that featured Gates McFadden as the wife of a man named Jack. 😉

That movie is “The Hunt for Red October”

From Fleet Admiral Sherwood's Twitter

"Is the Enterprise - F canonically the largest vessel to have been docked within Earth Space Dock? I’m presuming it is?? I’m sure #StarTrek & #StarTrekOnline fans will put me right if not ?"

Answer from Mike Urva's Twitter:

"You have to remember that the Spacedock that we saw the E-F fly out of is NOT the same spacedock that we saw in STIII-VI. That is Probert Station, which has replaced the original Spacedock. The original ESD is now in orbit of Athan Prime and is the home of the Fleet Museum!" 

 

Sidenote: 

@sh9000 - I think you might have better luck than I do finding these odd Starship pics. Can you post them if you see them fit?
