Kurtzman looks completely miserable. He's never been good at this stuff, but it seems like he's being held hostage by it all now.

Omg, covid was nature's attempt to save us from section 31!!

"Noone has sex with a corpse in the whole movie" Tell that to ATJ

Modern Star Trek is made by people who hate Star Trek and for people who hate Star Trek!!!FACT!!!

I've missed 'the laugh'. It was there in all its glory, starting at 23:05!. 🤣🤣

You guys are spot on. I’ll be watching tng-voyager on repeat till i die

Dude! hearing you guys talk about the "influencers" kissing ass to sell this shit to people, reminds me of Jenny Nicholson talking about the Evermore theme park and the Star Wars Hotel. How these jerkoffs will get a good experience if they "Nerd Crew" their awful shit (SOOOOOOO COOOL) Love you guys, keep up the great work!

You have "misophonia" my dude ... Google it!

All of the original cast's movies RESONATED because they dealt with real issues being worked out in society. ST:TMP - the space race & the last frontier. ST2:WoK - the poison of revenge, getting older. ST3:TSfS - All for one, resurrection, reuniting. ST4:TVH - environmentalism ST5:TFF - God, false gods, we still have each other ST6:TUC - Chernobyl, the cold war. None of Nutrek resonates because none of it is written in response to the real world outside of performative recognition (which in fairness, the recognition of certain groups' existence has been long overdue). But merely "giving a shout out" is not enough. Where is the restoration of JUSTICE? That's what's truly resonant & satisfying. The problem in our politics stems from how RACE IS A PROXY FOR CLASS. We can play inclusive language games around inclusion, but if we continue down the path of neoliberal economic policy that only benefits the ultra-rich, then all we're doing is jerking each other's donks as we slide into the poorhouse. Either that, or our continued problem of using race as a proxy for class will create a ultra-nationalist counter-revolution & Sadopopulism. So no more recognition that certain people exist. BUT we'll still be managed by the same neoliberal economic policy that exclusively benefits the ultra-rich.

5 years ago we knew... it's made bad on purpose. Star Wars... this..... all of it.

Do these super weapon morons know that if an explosion happened in the center of the galaxy, and it traveled at the speed of light , it would take 27,000 years to reach earth and 100,000 years just to reach the edge of the galaxy and 2 million years to reach Andromeda? And 46 billion years to reach the edge of the observable universe ? No of course they don’t know that because they write Science Fiction without knowing science.

im pretty sure the original plan was for guardians three to come out before endgame.

So the things obsessed with are seeded in ALL of his projects throughout his career: -Mirror Universes (Fringe) -Brain dead melodrama (People Like Us) -goofy out of place humor (Transformers) -revenge (Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) -secret societies (The Mummy) -stupidity (Hercules the Legendary Journeys) -super weapons: every Star Trek project now

Rich Evans losing his shit for 5 minutes straight got to me 😂

My husband and I celebrate "Thingsgiving" every year. We watch this movie over a spaghetti dinner. (Note; Spaghetti's not the best visual for this movie, but you get used to it.) BTW, with Blair and the noose in the cabin, that's when we know he's taken over. When he was still Blair, he was going to end it to avoid a horrible fate, but the fate got to him first.

You should have him back for another botw!

Discouraging Star Trek nerds from caring about inconsequential Trek trivia is quite a feat, I'm not gonna lie.

Colin mimicking the lady having sex is hilarious 😂😂

You know what they're trying to do with her? They're trying to make the Empress like Q, except while Q was vague and camp enough from day one to make his antagonism impersonal (he's gonna judge humanity!), the Empress *eating people* and ruling a fascist society is specific enough and close enough to real life villainy that it's a point of no return for most people no matter how badass and funny she is.

"Genesis, what's that?"

It will never not be funny that the first spin on the grand unveiling of the new wheel is a fuck up.

When Tomas wakes up in the church the nuns explain how Orlok became a vampire.

The characters are spastics & need to be more subtle. Especially the little micro bug in a mechanized Vulcan suit. There's a difference between horrible accent histrionics and good acting.

Yes Section 31 was bad. I love Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh. Love! But I don't want to find out if a woman her age can still pull off (the very tired trope of) an Asian dragon lady.

How to become a teenage ninja? But I’m in my mid thirties

What does the small print at the end at 46:16 say?

Alex Kurtzman feels like a spoiled child that steals other kids toys, breaks them, re-glues them together, poorly paints it black because "its cooler" then smashes it into piles of dog shit then when the other kids get annoyed or mad just acts confused about why those kids don't understand his genius for his cooler way to play with said toys.

I hope you guys wore a mask while you broke that plate! Don’t breathe in any Californian carcinogens!

Section 31 on DS9 was obviously influenced by Cold War spy fiction novels, particularly those written by more "realistic" authors such as John le Carré (with "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" episode plot being essentially a rip-off of his 1963 book "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold"), and now it's a plaything of Alex Kurtzman, a man with intelligence and subtlety of a toddler with a sledgehammer. I can only be thankful that he obviosly haven't watched DS9 in its entirety, because in that case he would've totally made Andrew Robinson to reprise his role as Garak, which would've ended up being another secular blasphemy, just like this "Picard" character in first two seasons of """Picard""". Although what I can't understand is how he managed to degrade even comparing to some of his previous works. Now, I haven't actually watched Alias (one of the earlier Bad Robot efforts, where he was on the writing staff), but general opinion is that it's a fun action spy TV show: not exactly cerebral, but enjoyable; when I would rather eat a dozen of lemons sliced and served on a Commemorative Star Trek Cancer Plate™ in one sitting than watch this load of tripe. P.S. 13:39 Mike mentions so many relatively modern titles, if only he could just watch, you know, THE GOOD THING (upon reading those words Farscape theme starts quietly playing in background, then becomes louder and louder, and finally reaches the climax when Avigail Herman's vocalise kicks in, signifying that it's time for Crichton and co. to embark on another genuinely fun adventure; God, I miss Farscape and Stargate SG-1 so much, but I also pray to all gods and buddhas that they never got "revived"). Besides, Guardians were directly influenced by it, IIRC, James Gunn has even publicly acknowledged that on Twitter. P.P.S. I hope Jay will make them watch all of the David Lynch's body of work (or at least the original Twin Peaks up to S02E09 and Mulholland Dr., both of those can be relatively safely recommended to normies). Followed by Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom by Pier Paolo Pasolini, of course.

as someone who is a) a star trek fan b) irish section 31 felt like it was purposely made to annoy me specifically

I do think that Section 31 developed a biological weapon of mass destruction, designed to exterminate the Foundlings.

"I don't know that people can believe in a universe as hopeful as classic Star Trek is anymore." I really try to, but......yea.....I think the way that modern social media/news frames our world has continually smashed that over its knee.

Mike didn't break the plate. Kurtzman did.

23:00 i laughed so hard lmao

Rich "I Like to Win" Evans!

Wait was this random, hmm they should have asked to make certain. 😊

Jesus 8 years old already??

How the hell is this that many years old :|

Old actors shouldn't be doing action films. They can barely move. It's not convincing. The action sequences are usually filled with cgi to make up for the old actor's lack of stunt work. They should replace harrison ford with someone else like they do with the actor who plays james bond in james bond films They should also do this with the terminator. They should replace arnold schwarzenegger. he's too old. if it can work for james bond why can't it work for other films? it worked for mad max fury road. mel gibson wasn't in that

Mike was thinking of William Sanderson.

Picard Season 3: hey we're hopeful. Section31: it's been dead for a long time. ................... What?

I've always called this episode "Flowers for Barclay" since forever

I'd give 487 points for Josh's Morgan Freeman impression!

Killed me when Jay looked directly into the camera at 4:50

If you don't like it, just don't watch it.

Why you guys wear shoes on the couch! 😅

27:25 auntie worm

Revenge and a super weapon? Dark and gritty but also with humour and heart? Wrath of Khan aced that back in '82

EVERY single self-appointed arbiter of what belongs in the STU, every single "fan" bitching up a storm, every single commenter polluting the ST fandom... needs to watch Rob Kazinsky's interview with Seán Ferrick on TrekCulture. "Star Trek isn't for YOU, it's for EVERYONE." "It should stand in there with the feature-length episodes." (referring to the budget, the limitations on runtime, etc) "Am I disappointed at the cruelty? Yes, because we're meant to be better than that in the Star Trek fandom. We're not Star Wars. We're not any of the other fandoms out there. We're meant to be kinder, we're not meant to be going online trying to hurt people's feelings. That's the whole point... I feel that... if you love Star Trek, you MUST be a good person." Etc, etc, etc. Watch it.

Velma S2 didnt' get greenlit because of hate watching numbers. It got greenlit with season 1 because 2 season animation projects is the norm.
