I'd just like to remind everyone that Discovery S1 is completely plagiarized from some small indie game on Steam. Even though the poor guy lost the lawsuit, its pretty fucking obvious the writers had someone use literal google results for inspiration.
I loved her video and this is a great compilation but others have made the same criticisms for some time now. The RLM reviews go over most of these issues in a much shorter time.
I did not know about the Patrick Stewart biography thing but it only serves to show how much of a useless piece of shit he is. I do not care about the whatever good contributions he may have made or said, he can go die in a fire.
If you haven't already I recommend once again reading FADE IN: From Idea to Final Draft. PDF here. Its not like Michael Piller is a saint or anything but the Patrick Stewart letters should be put in any Trek museum IMO.
Again the quotes I love from PS
PS letter quotes
One deliberate change we made was to Picard. We toughened
him up, chipped away at his smooth surface, roughened and
intensified his feelings. Shifted him from Captain/
Diplomat/Philosopher to Captain/Rebel/Activist.
I feel that,
in a sense, we had reinvented ourselves - or had begun to. The
‘story’ of the series was over and we were now telling a different
story with our movies. That is what I want to see continue.
That is the background to the unease that I feel with this new
story. It seems to reflect the series much more than where we
were at the end of First Contact. This compounded by Michael
referring back several times to aspects of the series you want to
see in this film. That is what I see as retrograde and dangerous
and, ultimately, dull.
The family building aspect of TNG is passed. Not
dead, but the work is done. Most of our audience know who these people are and how they feel about each other and our
new audience - the audience the studio are so eager for us to
win and hold - don’t need to be told that. They will pick it up.
I don’t agree about our being explorers again. I think that is
series material but not movie material. Heresy though this may
be, I do not think our movie duty is “to seek out new life and new
civilizations...” though it still is “to boldly go...”
I think there is real danger in the mindset that “there are certain
things that our audience come to expect...”
And lastly - though far from leastly - sex and comedy. Two
elements of life that I have come to think as critical in the TNG
movies. I tell you I think our stories have got to be sexy. I don’t
mean ‘sex scenes,’ God forbid, but a certain eroticism, a certain
sexiness about our characters and situations is really helpful
and fun. Let’s be honest, there is an inclination to stuffiness
about our crew. For the same reason humor is vital and again I
don’t mean set-piece scenes - though as I have said, Picard with
the mariners could be a great sequence. I think our crew are
adorable when they are witty, ironic, self deprecating, teasing,
cheeky.
Yes, witty, ironic, self deprecating, teasing, cheeky are definitely traits that describe the TNG crew. God what a moron.
When she talks about Nemesis and the movies in general its important to realize just how terribly similar all of this is to the TNG movie era. You can read the nonsensical Patrick Stewart letters and how he so desperately wants to abandon the TV series.
Yeah they got PS because of Logan but Picard also turned out like this exactly because PS is an idiot that hates the TV series. If PS wanted it we could have had a more TNG relatable Picard series, but this idiot only wanted to make a statement about Brexit. The whole segment of why "Space Fox News" exist is exactly because of that mandate I'm 100% convinced. Yeah in the biography he brags about Season 2 but that was not his only input lol.
He said he didn't want a TNG "reunion". That was major bullshit, not only to shit on his fellow actors, but it would force the show back to the TV era. He always wanted to be a Movie StarTm like it was popular in the 90's and I fully believe that the Picard series was doomed from the start, PS would never come back to do actual real good TNG era Star Trek again, period. The success of X-Men did not change his mind, in 2018 he still wants nothing to do with the TV series.
Kurtzman and all are still complete assholes but its not like they could have made TNG 2.0 with Patrick Stewart either. It all just sucks for 30 years now.
The TNG movies convinced me that Stewart no longer understood his most famous character. The series Picard convinced me that he never did in the first place.
There was a series of blogposts/reviews from when Picard came out where the author more or less convinced me that Stewart did understand character - he also didn't like him. The reason why Picard is filled with these unearned emotional moments is precisely because Captain Picard is a stoic character.
There was a lot of talk on that lawsuit but sadly it was taken by the anti-woke rw YT grifters. but here its his blog. Anas's personal life was quite sad actualy, but the blog is still online and the case story is absurd. The game was created years before Discovery and the theory is when Brian Fuller left the Kurtzman team was crunching for time so they just copied whatever.
Show
What makes it a slam dunk is not each one taken individualy obviously, but how everything just happens to be a coincidence.
The trial ended up being about the Tardigrades and that was what the CBS wanted to focus on because it was the only technicality.
Its funny because if you make a science fiction show with a French Captain, an Android, a POC engineer on a ship that has a particular disc shape section where they all wear red blue and yellow uniforms, where they work for an "alliance" of planets and end up fighting a sort of cybernetic enemy you know Trek lawyers would be on your ass.
