I guess.

Watching Mortal Coil, its interesting but I don't remember it. I loved some of these episodes, fun times.
Anthony Rogers
Anton Yelchin and John Cho and Q's son and Wesley Crusher are relentlessly handsome.
Wyatt Watson
Rewatching old stuff is all we have now. Feminism has taken the rest. ;_;
Bentley Lewis
ha! im watching the ep now as I shitpost. I paused to take that screenshot and comment on the mind meld scene, speculating that the show is referencing the creation of golem and that it's made by people (Chabon, Krutzman,et al) who care very little for Star Trek but do care about being Jewish. Then the very next scene pic related happened.
I see now what years of lurking has prepared me for. Yas Forums was right all along.
Aaron Scott
This is what we've been training for, lads!
Zachary Lee
Why is Picard such garbo?
Carson Gonzalez
What a shame Marina never did any men's magazines.
She was a stunner.
Brayden Morris
She got better after the show
Aiden Watson
>please post Marina's embarrassing bikini shoot photos
Not right now, sweetie. I'm watching Picard.
Owen Williams
Why is her face gold?
Gabriel Myers
Camden Nguyen
Since I learned that she had a huge B.O. problem shes kinda ruined for me
Josiah Torres
Well she had scrubbed up very nicely indeed by TNG.
That only makes me want to like her pits more.
Luke Gutierrez
hnnnnnggg
Michael Wilson
so they are ripping off the plot to mass effect?
Jace Lopez
Wait a minute I know where this is going
Henry Harris
Rich Evans said so
Connor Jenkins
>she had a huge B.O. problem
She's Greek
Colton Rodriguez
Well then it must be true. He's never had sex.
Zachary Butler
>Why is her face gold?
Umm, she's a Data obviously. So, we've decided that cosplay is kind of gatekeep-y and problematic so the amazing Star Trek: Picard (available now on CBS All Access) is taking a bold step with introducing characters that allow fans to easily participate in cosplay culture in an authentic way. Feeling like you didn't get details right or can't afford an elaborate costume is literally being told to your face that you're ugly and not good enough. Plus, who has time and money to spend on a hobby. Everyone has the right to be included.
Men have so often had it easy with cosplay for years. Want to be Indiana Jones? Grab a whip and fedora. Well, now it's HER turn.
Eli Diaz
God fucking damn it, user.
Andrew Cox
She did all those kinda seedy Canon films. So, that soured her on that kinda stuff.
Lucas Wilson
I assume it's normal data makeup plus the "color correcting" piss filter that everyone uses now.
Jeremiah Perez
Why are they all dressed so boring and shitty?

Why is her face 40% chin?
Kevin Davis
Boobs are sexist. You know this.
Brody Smith
I'm the user she fondled as a preteen and she smelled heavenly.

Yeah, for a second in that voiceover sequence I was almost persuaded. TNG would make an episode that addressed in abstract symbols the idea that the human march toward perfection is destruction of what is definitively human. It would be covered over by some cheesy colorful Buddhist planet, and it would look a lot like the way that episode looks.
But then the whole thing segues into this meditation on victimization and minority. The whole question about whether a victimized minority should rightfully hate every member of the victimizing majority. We literally heard the phrase "Not all [humans]". And honestly, I can't see how they're going to resolve this one. Either they conclude that the minority discriminates against the majority rightfully - then they've established a weird pro-violence conclusion that contradicts the entire pacifist ethos of Star Trek, an ethos which they explicitly revive in the episode itself. Or they conclude that it's wrong for the minority to discriminate against the majority, which is a conclusion with plenty of pro-white connotations if you at all care to carry the symbol into the real world, which they're so obviously trying to do.
I thought for a few moments in this season as characters were being gathered into a cohesive ship cast that maybe this was heading toward an interesting season-long symbol-arc that might replicate the symbol arcs we would see in a single episode of TNG. But no, the scattered series of disconnected symbols was nothing more than what it originally appeared to be.
Isaiah Scott
Watching RLM... Why.
Benjamin Butler
They look right out of a TNG episode of the week
Logan Anderson
>I assume it's normal data makeup plus the "color correcting" piss filter that everyone uses now.
The classic Data makeup is white with some metallic added. They would not use white makeup for her. I'm surpised they used it on the synths that were on Mars, but I guess they really wanted to lay down the connection to Data in a clear way. Going forward, its' just metallic hue to the actors natural skin tone most likely because they don't want to send any messages about a person "needing" to change their skin tone.

Who is this show for?
Kayden Jackson
Not for the viewers, obviously
Grayson Watson
>Why is her face 40% chin?
Her chin is capable of learning to mind-meld. So, stop being a misogynist.

Samuel Turner
The 90's were wild
Christian Flores
The TOS movies are all canon except maybe V. Unlike the TNG films, the characters act like they should act all the time.
Alexander Lewis
this. wtf?
Hunter Jackson
what the fuck is this shit
why bother calling this star trek
Evan Ortiz
Final Frontier is far more canon than The Motion Sickness.
Charles Ramirez
I mean some of them are good, but they are all retarded.
Evan James
You take that back you son a bish
Nolan Morris
I can live with this. It's a deal.
Samuel Green
It's a passe political statement. Nobody went to Hillary Clinton rallies either but she ran anyway.
Kevin Wood
>I mean some of them are good, but they are all retarded.
??? TOS movies are by far the best part of the franchise
Tyler Allen
>Decomposing fox
Isn't that from True Blood intro?
Adam Ward
Take your shiny comms badge and stick it up your ass.
Kevin Allen
Explain nibba. Was that on the show is what?
Adam Evans
tha's a good question user
Julian Roberts
and the video for nine inch nails "hurt" I think
Carson Davis
>Q: How can an android mind-meld? Wasn't this something tied to Vulcan physiology?
>A: So Vulcans have always lead us to believe. As a physiological effect, it can be synthesized, or rather the physio-anatomical basis can be synthetically reproduced
Adam Campbell
Swill for the piggies.
Eat up, buddy.
Charles Richardson
>As a physiological effect, it can be synthesized, or rather the physio-anatomical basis can be synthetically reproduced
>Muh technobabble
Sod off Kurtzmam
Isaac Martinez
Your universal translator is malfunctioning.
Ryder Evans
>How can an android mind-meld? Wasn't this something tied to Vulcan physiology?
She's clearly trans-Vulcan. And just like regular trannies, you magically become what you pretend to be.
Zachary Parker
well, to be fair Data was able to nerve pinch so you can just assume androids were just built with those kinds of capabilities.
Logan Phillips
>How are you liking it so far?
Brandon Rodriguez
So could Picard when he had Sarek in his head
Jeremiah Mitchell
We're experiencing some interference due to our phase coils being out of alignment
William Harris
>say canon
>mean headcanon
Adam Myers
he does it in 'starship mine' so presumably he retains the ability
Isaac Thompson
>well this other character could do it when he literally had a vulcan's soul inside him possessing him
That was kind of a different thing.
Daniel Ortiz
You should have let it stay dead, old man
Jaxson Baker
>Scanning. Their coil emissions are normal.
Jaxson Campbell
That is so dumb as Troi's "plexing." The Vulcan nerve pinch isn't just pressure points, it relies on their tactile telekinesis to overload the nervous system.
