I'm pretty sure it's bc Alice Krige was not about to put that makeup on again at age 68, lol. I love Kestra and was amazed they got Lulu Wilson for that part, but Lulu stays very booked and busy these days and I would be surprised if they secure her long-term going fwd. I do wish some of the mooted plans for Ro, etc. had come off. But they clearly had a tremendous uphill battle with budget and time as is.

This has some wild reveals:

Now trending: #StarTrekLegacy.

So, the finale. Very happy. Protip: Stay through the end credits, there is a mid-credits surprise (and big teaser for the spinoff). Overall this season was a very strong farewell to the TNG crew. Color me very happy and bring on Legacy.

Yes, it's that time again! Star Trek: Picard finale spoiler - watch through the end credits.

DeSantis is already being (let's just say it) cucked by Trump. That marks him for death inside the right. His star is already falling in the eyes of elite media and it won't last another five years, if it even lasts to the general. FL will absolutely suffer in the meantime - as will other states - but the grim consolation is knowing he won't survive, and the party will suffer too.

You pay attention to the icons?

A great finale poster.

Tracy has supposedly been shacked up with Luke getting stoned on primo ganja in Amsterdam for years and turning a blind eye as he keeps bringing young men resembling Ethan home. Let her live.

Amidst his latest horrific actions today, there's this:

I'll be that guy. I love Jane's long Gandalf hair.

You don't know much about Fox's audience.

I did get some key details re: the end spoiled, but nothing relating to the actual plot, the action or any surprise cameos (well, There is one thing I think a lot of hardcore tech nerds will be up in arms about and it wouldn't have been my choice, but I understand why they're doing it for the franchise. It's not that serious lol.

All I want to know about is Janeway. But don't tell me!

I liked his found footage movie (IIRC) but his fascination with spinning the camera upside down in every single shot on DSC became a running joke for me long ago. I have a lot of feelings about the wildly varying talent at DSC, I'm sorry lol.

I do think Ned and Olivia should probably be endgame unless some miracle occurs with Lois lol. But I am not against playing out romantic drama with Olivia and Scorpio too in the meantime, and maybe Ned and Alexis again, who knows. Though at this point I would try Alexis with someone new and probably a woman, preferably not a man like Gregory who resembles a Founding Father.

As I suspected: The Section 31 series no one really wants is now a movie. They could never have secured Yeoh for a full series after this past year, and fan response to DSC's obsession with Section 31 has been wan at best despite Yeoh being popular. I'm fine with this though; I love Yeoh even if a little of Mirror Georgiou goes a long way for me. So a movie is probably the best format possible. Focus on SNW and the Terry Matalas spinoff.

He is apparently Australian by birth (which I didn't know til today), but was raised in the States and yeah, no accent offscreen. Weirder still: I knew of him before GH. Back in my weeb days in HS and college I watched the classic anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, which took the bold step of hiring actual child actors to voice kids for the English dub instead of 45 year old women like cartoons usually do. The lead hero boy, a French kid with a very thick accent? Voiced by Nathan Parsons. When they cast Ethan I did a double take. It's the same person.

Nathan Parsons was raised here himself. He has no accent.

Many times. They also went to the Ball together.

We've talked about it before but there is a lot to play in the relationships with Spencer and Laura or Trina and Ava. They are unique, particularly IMO the Trina relationship with Ava where you have a purely heroic young character with a dark horse, like Robin with Jason or Sonny back in the day. There's also the art connection between the two, with Trina becoming a modern artist. LW is capable of better material. I think they showed some of it briefly, in the Bobbie montage at the Ball; I could swear they showed the scenes from early in her run where she apologized to Bobbie at Tony's grave.

It also varies by the day. Some scripts or blocks of scenes, especially the veteran corps dealing with their past issues like Ryan and such, or scenes with Ava scheming away, often have real heart or depth. Many others are purely and simply functional and filling space. But Frank's shows have had that kind of filler forever. All soaps do now. It's not like '90s GH where scenes would go ramble along and tell a story between the characters in vignettes. This has been her resting behavior for what? 15 years. I just can't get excited about giving Kristina story, lol. I feel like they missed the boat with those Davis girls and I can't get worked up about it, even though I think Molly as ADA has decent potential. I'd sooner see most of the young women (except Trina, BLQ, and Joss who would get recast) ushered out and new ones brought on. But I suppose you could try it with the others gone in the meantime.
