The woman is greedy and stupid to the point of vulgarity. What else can be said?
@Marina_Sirtis
I like those actors too, but nobody should be praising Star Trek Picard in any way.
That episode was just adding to the clusterfuck. Something about a super rare disease that only antielectrons can cure, but reverse charged electrons are unobtainable to retired starfleet admirals with dying kids, and it was somehow Picard's fault.
I guess it was the most memorable episode. They went to a cozy house in the woods where Riker cooks a pizza in one of those outdoor brick ovens, and they all sit around talking pleasantly for a while before smoke comes from the oven, but it was just a slice of tomato that fell from the pizza into the fire, "Burnt tomato!", the pizza was fine. Out of all of season 1, this was the least regrettable sequence to watch.
Agree completely that Retired Admiral Riker's Cooking would be a big hit on CBS All Access. What? Oh.
How do you cancel Paramount Plus?
Though I seem to recall it was Riker who made a really snooty speech to a carnivorous species' representative, during a discussion about whether or not the food the replicators made was "real" or not, and he was bragging to this most furry of the live-action shows' aliens about how Humans had evolved morally and blah blah. So, now, in this new show about robot rights garbage, he's bragging that his kid is killing non-technological beings for to make pizza.
Imagine that.
(Oh, and this alien species was only shown/mentioned the once, in a bit before the real story started, and hasn't been seen or heard from again. Kind of like the Cats from the original Animated Series, though they did show up in Diane Duane books, and now Lower Decks has one as its doctor.)
As someone who doesn't watch the show, I assume you're both having a stroke right now.
Wait, the quirky kid was actually hunting? I honestly don't remember any of that nonsense, and nobody could persuade me to watch it again. Alt Universe Will and Deanna seemed nice though, would have dinner at their cabin.
Yep. It basically ruined his appearance for me, and I figured if anything was going to save that stupid show, it might be more of the old cast, but no. It was just the icing on a stupid shitcake.
Congrats on making the first Trek pitch in years I'd actually watch.
(Edit: That's not entirely snark, either. When I grew up I watched cooking shows like Stephen Yan's Wok With Yan and Graham Kerr's The Galloping Gourmet. I'm used to the host being an entertainer and something of a character in his own right, even if only in the same way a stand-up comic onstage is a character. An entirely fictional character hosting a cooking show is actually a novel enough idea that I'd definitely watch it at least once.)
Sorry, it's going on the new streaming service StreamTrek.
