PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I'm going to try to do what I can. (Last one I promise. Just twice. Not going to spam but dude is a big part of the Lemmy community, especially with Trek, and he deserves the help.)

The fucking puppets episode is when I quit watching. It was supposed to be Pike's arc, why did they throw a muppets episode in? Is that really what the arc needed to be told effectively? JFC. Is ST:Picard really going to be the last show that doesn't go off the fucking rails?

The "fucking puppets episode" is when you quit watching? The episode that hasn't been released? Also, I don't know. Maybe it could have been what it needed for the arc to be told effectively. I have no idea as the episode has not been released yet. I have no idea the context of it. But considering the fact that Season 1 had a hyper-goofy episode with M'Benga and everyone else being transported into a fairytale from a childrens book that ended up being MASSIVELY and deeply impactful for M'Benga's character? And something that was actually extremely helpful to tell that arc effectively? Then I'm going to wait for release before making a decision on whether or not to even continue things.

Is ST:Picard really going to be the last show that doesn't go off the fucking rails?

I mean it kind of started off the rails but it also ended two years ago.

What's your deal here, exactly?
