You just didn’t get it. Clearly he failed giving the clones force sensitivity, that’s why they were placed in front of his head quarter and that’s why he just let Mando kill them while constantly having his location. After that he bragged about something he never achieved cause how could Mando know otherwise. Some people just don’t get the brilliant writing. He already faked everybody out by telling them he would handle Mando himself, putting on his helmet and walking off, only to then just wait where he left from without helmet on. Gideon is a prankster that loves to play with your head. He makes you think he’s obsessed with the dark saber but then bam just destroys it.

The Court of Opinion ruining Hollywood Careers is nothing new. Look what happened to Fatty Arbuckle in the 20's after a girl he was messing around with at a party ended up dead and everyone blamed him. Ruined his career completely. Seriously, if you're an aspiring movie star who doesn't want to court scandal and ruin it's just best not to have any associations with anyone and live like a monk or nun.

[@GaudiaCertaminisGaming]

Good example. Any sober examination of the facts showed that Arbuckle had absolutely nothing to do with the girl's death, but once the target is painted on your back…

[@DarthQueefious]

The final shot of Mando S3 is how Din should've ended up after S2 - minus Grogu and the suit. He should've retired to a farm or something ("I have Spoken" guy's farm, perhaps) You bring him back for the movies. He gets word Grogu is in danger and, out of practice and unsure if he is capable, has to put the suit on once more to save his kid. Not being part of that weird cult any more would also mean Pascal could get his face onscreen. If you want to do a Din bounty hunting season/mini series, make it a prequel.

To be fair the M1 Abrams is a 40 year old tank and it's kicking ass. So a super technologically and metallurgically advanced spacecraft should easily last that long or at least longer than it's expected service life. Which military craft do frequently.

[@baromareq356]

I agree with Mauler the finale of Angel was pretty epic

[@jrayburn6169]

Appreciate y’all going in on the Star Wars Extended Universe and how it was gutted for no damn reason, literally the whole entire timeline from Old Republic to the remnants of the Galactic Empire was mapped out. Thousands of years of lore and content that just had to be adapted to the screen and now they can’t even figure out how write one movie.

[@Authurious85]

40 years is not old for a starship, especially in Trek. The Excelsior class was the backbone of the federation fleet for 100 years or more. Upgrading refitting the enterprise D to the Galaxy X would actually tie the story up nicely with all good things.

[@rhyscallinan5058]

I'm just remembering 40k ships that have been around for ten thousand years and haven't been upgraded for at least five thousand and repaired for over three hundred.

[@BetaRayBill32]

Agreed, I thought it was weird that they kept retiring ships after about 10 minutes, though maybe it makes more sense than previous continuity in a world with replicators.

[@kevinmccabe7263]

Speaking of Picard 3, I would watch the crap out of the spinoff they set up! Jack was awesome! His and Sidney's chemistry was real, and 7 of 9 had a great arch! If they keep some sense of military decorum and hierarchy (which Abrams and Kurtzmann completely threw out) then I'd watch the crap out of that!

One of the best horror comedies of all time. Instead of horror with stupid gags or visuals they just made a comedy set inside a horror and absolutely nailed it.

[@ferallion3546]

Historically there have been vessels renamed in honor of another ship. Regarding the current GRF class super carriers, they’re designed to remain in service for the next century. One would imagine that starships would be designed to last for quite a while with future fleet extension block updates being designed in from the start.

[@fakecubed]

Yeah, ultimately it's just just a bunch of steel forming an outer hull. As long as there's reasonable places to bolt things in (even floors and walls), you can refit almost indefinitely. It's just a matter of cost. I believe the lifespan of today's carriers is based around their reactors. They're a floating nuclear power plant, and it's that heart of the ship that's got a lifespan. If they really needed, I'm sure the old Nimitz class carriers could be kept in service a lot longer, but they'd have to replace the power plant, and that would probably be cost prohibitive. And the Navy wants to go to electric catapults and laser weapons, so they'd need a lot more power generated, all the steam stuff would need to be yanked out, and at that point you're looking at essentially a whole new ship anyway and it's easier to build something new with all of those systems built into the design from the start. Typically, though not always, newer technology is smaller than old technology. So if there's need for more power, it can often be generated in the same amount of space, or less. I suppose by the time you get to the future where you're mixing matter and antimatter together, efficiencies aren't going to improve that dramatically, so maybe you have to expand Engineering a few extra decks, push out some bulkheads, and eliminate a few crew quarters, but the Galaxy class was an absurdly huge ship to begin with, they have plenty of room.

[@ferallion3546]

@@fakecubed Good points. Plus if tell the any Navy, "bolt on what you can", they will lol. I was watching an interview with some naval architects and they were talking about the GRFs and they're designed to last over a century. There are platforms that work so keep them in service if they can be upgraded. B52, AC130, A10, F15, M to name a few. That's a really good point about the reactor lifespans. It would be interesting to find out if modular ship building allows for that kind of drydock work for these new super carriers? Oh ya I haven't seen the scale but Drachinifel mentioned that someone had worked out the amounts of space per crew member aboard Enterprise and it was something absurd, like 1000 square meters lol. At least she would have the "ballast" for upgrades. Plus with new super materials, modular design, and transporters to add or remove those ships would last much much longer. Now a multi series story based around a single ship that at some point, with every new crew, is updated and that advances the character of the ship.

There are two problems with Picard season three: 1) I’d have to watch seasons one and two first, which isn’t happening, and 2) I’m not paying for Paramount+, and I won’t sail the high seas to find it. If seasons one and two had been good, then season three might be worth watching, but that’s not the case, so it’s not worth it.

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

I receive a survey from Disney plus every few weeks to get feedback about their current and upcoming programming. Because I have answered affirmatively on the past surveys about Star Wars, it seems like I receive quite a few survey questions about how much I enjoy the current slate of Disney star wars programs and what I'd like to see going forward. I'm not sure how many other people are receiving these surveys but Disney is definitely actively soliciting feedback, albeit from a very specific group of participants. Any overtly negative feedback will terminate the survey.

24:00, I have to say, my main gripe with the Borg thing is how intent on pacifying them the studios are. ‘Q, Who?’ made them very OP, then ‘Best of Both Worlds’ made them weaker, then Voyager made them social, and eventually the Borg were peer-competitors with the Federation, all the in the span of 20 years ish. And now, the Borg are broken and beaten by a ragtag group of aged Starfleet officers, but a starship which struggled to defeat the first and second cubes… I know the Borg were damaged, but, it’s this consistent need to make Humanity overcome every adversary which ruins modern Trek for me. There’s a current need in the fan base too to explain away the Borg, and to defeat them once and for all; can we not just have an implacable giga enemy to always be a threat to everyone? And what is with the Borg’s fixation with defeating Humanity; the Borg were logical, even in Voyager.. why would they go up against a superior enemy out of emotional vengeance? Instead of assimilating inferior species and rebuilding. It’s just bad writing in my opinion.

> Picard season 3 is probably the last decent Trek we are going to get. And it's not even really decent. It's just not soul crushing like Picard season 2. The bar has been set so low that "I don't want to kill myself after watching this" is being praised like it's the 2nd coming of proper TNG. If the last Star Trek we'd gotten before Picard season 3 was Star Trek Nemesis we'd be saying this was worse than Enterprise. The best part about season 3 wasn't the characters, or the plot or the universe building, it was solely that it didn't feel like the writers of it hated Star Trek. That's it. I was sad watching it because you're right, it's the best we're going to get out of NuTrek and it was a less than a shadow of Star Trek used to be. A bizarre pantomiming of something much better.

As much as I like the Enterprise-E I have to agree it never really became a character. Has that happened with any movie ship though? Even the TOS movies rely more on your feelings for the Enterprise from the TV show than things that happened in the movies.

In tv guide 2003 interview Joss Whedon said he was running over and so used short hand for Anyas death. Later Emma Caulfield said she hates working with Whedon on set and he might have done her character dirty deliberately

Best line up

[@Yabud_167]

They didn't kill off Mando at the end of season 3 because next season would definitely be DOA. They're probably saving the completion of the bait & switch for mid season 4.

Nerdrotics idea of a Titan series with Shaw and 7of9 sounded great. Oh well..

[@MegaSpideyman]

Why 'oh well'?

For a great Welsh accent watch any of Michael Sheen's monologues.

I feel a little bit sorry that people like AZ and Garry spoiled return of Enterprise D - I would prefer to be surprise. But other than that, now when I watched whole season with my friend cap Jack Sparrow, I have to say that I was perfectly pleased with whole of Picard 3. Don't get me wrong; there is plenty to criticize here but generally it was surprisingly good; it was opposite of SW sequels, it was respectful towards old characters, it wasn't dark, fatalistic and nihilistic - all of main character survived, the day was saved, Seven become a captain and NCC 1701 D is back ! And I agree that I prefer this starship over Enterprise -E - I was never emotionally attached to NCC 1701 E. So, yes refit Enterprise D - give it to seven, Jack and LaForge daughter and I this series would make me happy! But sadly Picard 3 is an anomaly and there is no hope for either Star Trek or Star Wars...
