    One thing that's frustrating me is the dialogue. Characters constantly state, re-state, and then re-restate what they're doing, over and over again. It's like this:
    "The black hole is pulling us in like a vacuum cleaner. We can't create a warp field to escape, and the nearest help is days away"
    "Yes sir, we're being sucked into the black hole"
    "Cavalry is nowhere in sight, because we're out beyond the border"
    "If we don't do something, in 1 hour, this ship will be torn apart by the black hole"
    "Thank you, Ensign. Yes, and we can't call for help, or warp out of here"

      There are probably so many small details that annoyed the hell out of Alex. Like how everyone is impressed with the Shrike being able to use their tractor beam to throw a ship at the Titan even though we've seen ships use tractor beams to move much more massive objects. Or how Shaw calls Jack an intergalactic criminal. Intergalactic, meaning between galaxies, even though everything takes place in the Milky Way and the Federation doesn't have the technology to travel to another galaxy. Or how they could have just scanned Jack with a tricorder to find out who he is. Or how Jack could have just told them that he was willing to be given up to Vadic instead of escaping from the brig and making it look like he was trying to run.

    I can't get over how irresponsible Picard and Riker are. They lied to Shaw to try to trick him into taking them to Beverly. Then they had Seven countermand Shaw's orders and change course to go to Beverly. At no point were Shaw or the crew warned that they might get into a dangerous situation. That is incredibly irresponsible.
    We've seen in previous Trek shows that ships need time to prepare for battle. Getting into a fight before the crew has had time to do battle drills, prepare the medical bay, charge the weapons and shields, get the warp core to max efficiency, etc. is very dangerous.
    In fact, we don't even know what kind of ship the Titan is or what its mission is. Starfleet has thousands of ships and different ships serve different purposes. Shaw said that the Titan is an exploratory vessel. So for all we know, it could be a science ship that has a crew of mostly scientists and engineers, and minimal weapons to make room for a lot of research equipment.

    • @Corbomite_Meatballs
      @Corbomite_Meatballs Pƙed rokem +6

      That's what bothers me about this show...the Jean-Luc Picard from the ENT-D (and even ENT-E) would *NEVER* have put up with a Badmiral coming onto his ship, squatting on his bridge, and acting the way he and Riker are. He would've brigged them after a 30 min. monologue about what bad people they were.
      I get it that people "change" as they age (Great Bird knows Kirk stole the ENT to find Spock), but I can't believe Picard has gone that mushy in his positronic brain that he can't work the angles with a Starfleet captain to figure out how to get what he wants.

    Coincidentally, clearly the writers don't know Starfleet Runabouts exist for the exact purpose Picard and Riker needed one.

    *Stuff I liked about picard:*
    -A Ferengi!
    -The cynical captain is ok
    *Stuff I Disliked*
    -Why is the big bad enemy ship just waiting?
    -Computer predicts 100% chance of ship destruction (thus 100% chance of death) no one really cares, almost like that know they will be fine.
    -Raffy is telling her handler (Worf) stuff he already knows (almost like she is trying to explain the plot to the audience)
    -Of course, 10minutes later, when Picard has finished his conversation the enemy ship starts attacking
    -Oh no, more Raf-fail telling people stuff they already know so the audience can understand
    -So Raffy failed to save Starfleet, was a drug addict, and now we know she abandoned her son and was a failed mother, can they make this character any more dislikeable
    -Is Riker to stupid to realize that on someone else's ship, when someone yell's "Captain!", they are not talking to y
    - Enemy gives Picard 1hour to make a choice that takes 20 seconds.
    -Picard asks incredibly stupid question "what just happened?" so they can have the line "She threw a ship at us!"
    -What happened to Beverly no one has mentioned her for ages (its almost like they know Beverly will be fine, and no one cares)
    -Seven was fired for insubordination, when (on this occasion) she was not insubordinate, she asked the captain and he eventually agreed to rescue Picard
    -Raffy contradicts her character. She carries money, she asked for a pay rise, she complained about Picard's wealth, but now she says Starfleet doesn't care about money
    -Captain asks "How do you know he is Beverly's child?" If only you had a super advanced medical facility capable of testing paternity
    -Why did Riker go against the doctors order, wake Beverly up from sedation in order to drag her to the bridge?
    -Of course its Picard's son, guessed it in the first 10 seconds, but that now makes Picard a failed father.
    -Picard yells "Engage" but they fire weapons??? who doesn't understand the command "engage"?
    *Worst stupidity*
    -Admiral Picard takes command of the ship, despite being told in the very last episode that Picard is an ex-admiral and rank doesn't apply to him any more

      I would be fine with loosing Alex... he has turned into a angry and mean spirited reviewer to the point me and my friends have dropped "The Angry Joe Show" for reviews. I get the show is named "Angry" and all... but it is much less fun with the format and constant whining over the last year or so. What I liked about this channel originally was it was "regular" gaming and movie "fans" talking about the movies... like me and my friends would often do. This channel has turned into Joe trying to stay positive (to keep the viewers)... little joe basically asleep/has no clue half the time... and Alex acting superior and annoyed at basically everything. In the end... I just can't regularly listen in anymore... just brings me down. I pop in once in awhile when I am digging a show/movie/game... and see what the guys think... and like clockwork... they (mainly Alex) just hates on the show/movie/game. I am being a bit dramatic with this post to make a point... I know Alex and the guys don't "hate" everything... but even when they "like" something it's with qualifiers...etc. Also get that it's a review site/channel.. and they are entitled to their opinions... I just don't agree all that often... and I don't need the extra negativity. L8

    The episode went back two weeks for the opening scene. Jack said that it was Fenris Rangers, then Klingons followed by some Starfleet guys after them. But he says "we've been running for months." Must be some space-time continuum shit going on (or bad writing).

    I also had a problem with how much it took for Seven to get relieved of duty, then she leads a security team and gets her command back so easily. Especially taking into account Shaw's take on former Borg. You also have Worf who I am afraid might turn into Elnor and become an assassin ninja warrior cutting people's heads off. Riker and Picard should at the very least be confined to quarters, but they get free reign to walk around the ship.

      I think they might have forgotten that Shaw had other orders and the Titan is supposed to be on a mission. They're acting like the Titan is Shaw's personal ship that he can do what he wants with it. But Starfleet ships are always being assinged missions, going to mediate negotiations, rescuing colonists from a natural disaster, delivering medical supplies, patrolling a region of space for pirates, etc. Did they just forget that going on this random detour may jeopardize the mission they're supposed to be on?

    I'm 100% with Alex. This is drek and no one should watch it, other than for research purposes or as torture.
    Although the bit with Rafi's husband is not as bad as you guys make it out to be. It's a pretty common cliche where a character is forced to choose between their job or their child or partner.
    But it would work better with a character like Bond or Ethan Hunt, Rafi hasn't really earned that sort of drama....
    Also, it irks me every time but I'm pretty sure the federation cured addiction, I think there was even an episode about it where they found this planet where everyone was addicted to some drugs and Beverly was like "bitch please, I got this".
    So for Rafi to be a junkie makes no sense in that universe... Also since drugs are usually a symptom of poverty and poor life choices, whereas the Federation is a utopia where everyone has everything they need to have a good life. Especially members of Starfleet and especially people living on Earth... It's just so stupid.

    I had a flash of standing in my parents’ bedroom looking waaaay up at the TV while TNG was on; my mom was fixing my bed or something and I was waiting to see one of my two favorite characters, Deanna or Wesley.
    It was a show I watched for maybe 5-10 minutes at age 2-5 but it was so important to me that I was always writing and drawing TNG fanfic on my little drawing pads. I wrote one where Deanna and Wesley went on an away mission to a cat planet.

    I don't think they're banking on the fact they're legends for why the crew obeys him, at least not only. From the beginning we've seen Shaw's command style actually be quite detrimental to unit morale, for example when he was tearing Seven a new one in plain view of everybody in tbe bridge. Each of the bridge personnel showed with their expression they weren't on board with that, or him. Compared to that, Picard wanting to save his own son, hoping for the best of outcomes instead of compromising and, right then assuming his autority was just the push they needed. Shaw commanded respect and was efficient at it, but Picard always was the one who made you "want" to respect him and obey his command. It also didn't help that their first officer was also plainly on their side.
    Short answer : Charisma and definitely more battle experience.

    Last year I figured it was time to get into Trek so I watched DS9.
    Loved it.
    I'm going to go back and watch TNG eventually but I'm curious; I want to go ahead with Voyager and Enterprise, but should I go back to TNG 1st?

    • @chuckj.4659
      @chuckj.4659 Pƙed rokem +2

      TNG is some of the best television ever. Season 1 is rough. I would consider just starting at S2 and saving season 1 as kind of a “dvd extras” once you’ve finished the rest.

    • @matthewjarek3026
      @matthewjarek3026 Pƙed rokem +2

      Yes you should watch TNG. It starts out a little rough and quality may vary episode to episode but the characters are the main attraction to me and when it’s good it’s REALLY good. I watched Star Trek in chronological order beginning with The Original Series and movies. I would recommend you watch them too. The Animated Series is more of an option.

    • @vaisravana2092
      @vaisravana2092 Pƙed rokem +3

      Pretty much what the other guys said. DS9 is my personal favorite Star Trek, but TNG is a close second. (we do not talk about some of those movies though. )
      Quality had some serious fluctuations, there are def some real stinkers in there, but when it was good it did SHINE.
      Voyager to me was a very mixed bag, but still plenty of things I did like.
      I do like the really old stuff as a guilty pleasure. Kirk in a way to me feels like one of the heroes into old adventure flicks, like indiana jones and so on - just in space 😂

    • @chrishewitt5826

      Same here. DS9 is so cohesive as a series that builds to amazing crescendo. TNG was groundbreaking and you fall in love with the crew.

    • @KingOfMadCows
      @KingOfMadCows Pƙed rokem +1

      In my opinion, DS9 is the best Trek. TNG is great from seasons 3 - 6. Season 1 and 2 are bad but still had some amazing episodes. Season 7 really feels like they were running out of ideas but still had some great episodes,. including an incredible series finale.
      Voyager overall is weaker but it still has amazing episodes, it's just that there are a lot of episodes that are just OK, not good but not bad. You should look up some fan lists of essential Voyager episodes.
      Enterprise started out very weak, but got much better in season 3 and great in season 4. Even though it's a prequel, it actually helps to have watched the other shows since you get to see how the Federation was formed and how earth made friends with these other species.
      TOS is pretty outdated but there are some amazing episodes. Again, look up some fan lists for the best episodes.
      As for the new shows, Discovery and Picard are terrible. Lower Decks is pretty fun but I can see why some people might not like its tone. Prodigy is surprisingly good but it's for kids, it's definitely one of the better kid's shows. Not as amazing as something like Batman: TAS or Avatar but still pretty fun. Strange New Worlds is good, it still has some of the weak writing of modern Trek but the actors are just so damn good.

    Both Nerdrotic and The Critial Drinker have had early access to the full 3rd season and both say it's surprisingly really good and gets better as it goes, and they hated on the first two seasons. I trust their judgement on this as much as I refuse to go back and watch S02 it does make me want to watch this latest season.

    Your disillusion with the show so far (S1 and S2) has been fuelling your pessimism because you've been making predictions on the story from the perspective of how S1 and S2 would have treated it and your joy is gone. Understandably so, don't get me wrong. You have no reason to assume that this season would be any better than the first two. But it's sad to see that you can't enjoy what we've gotten in S3 so far. Which, in my opinion as someone who has boycotted Star Trek since watching S1, is so authentically Star Trek that it's a completely almost unbelievable fluke. This season has righted the ship so hard and so right that I have to continually pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming and making this all up in a fantasy in my head.
