There’s so much feedback, the crystals that sealed the Magnetic Containment Bottle have burnt out. We were offered an explanation on why Borg-Jurati sings that Pat Benatar song, but do we accept it? And please Paramount, put subtitles on the screeners.
Set your frequencies to picard@baldmove.com and send in that feedback.
What has twice the T-Rex and three times more running time than the original movie? That’s right, it’s Lost World where life finds a way and Steven Spielberg finds a way to make an underwhelming sequel. But it’s not all bad CGI! Jim and A.Ron relive their favorite moments, and it’s no surprise many of…
In this episode of Picard, Patrick Stewart does some of the best acting of the show accompanied by some of the worst scenes of the show. Ogres and onions aren’t the only things that have layers anymore, join us as we try to track a couple different plot lines through multiple layers of nonsense. It’ll have you asking important questions such as, is Q a sociopath or party animal? Is Borg-Jurati getting a high off of smashing windows? If you love Star Trek, maybe this isn’t the episode for you, but if you like absurd comedy, this is right up your alley. Maybe there’s too much snakeleaf going around.
Feedback will be in a different episode so we can properly address it. And we’re wrapping up this season soon, so you better send it in at picard@baldmove.com.
Your feedback has been held in the Magnetic Containment Bottle on the Starship Bald Move and Captains A.Ron and Jim and are cracking it open to read what you have to say. The Picard writing team have phasers set to stun, and stunned we are. Let’s decipher the portrayal of mental health and dream about what a present-day episodic Star Trek would be like.
Okay, okay, the liquid in the vial is blue! A.Ron concedes. And acknowledges he might be colorblind.
Do you want to emit EMPs from your cells and then put on a cover concert of 20th century rock and roll? Yes? Well, then you may want to look into getting borg-ified like Agnes Jurati. Join Jim and A.Ron as they tackle an episode that ranges from impromptu concerts to the aftermath of domestic abuse, a topic very personal to Patrick Stewart’s own childhood.
There are things that we like, and there are things that are weird. Join us as we discuss the benefits of Old Trek being an episodic show and the challenges Picard faces because it is serialized.
We’ve seen The Matrix Resurrections and the only thing we want to say is “not bad”. Seriously, we don’t want to spoil anything for you and there’s a lot going on in this movie. You might want to see it again or, like Jim, you might want to see another sequel before you make up your mind about this one, but at the very least it’s more enjoyable than either of the previous Matrix sequels. Join us for the spoiler-free podcast and trailer talk and then, only if you’re a club member, stick around for the full spoiler review.
Everyone has seen the first 2 episodes of this season so it’s time to consider your feedback. First though, we talk about the 2 X-Ray-exclusive webisodes and the announcement of the TellTale game that seems to center around Camina Drummer. Join us for the podcast to get your fix of The Expanse until the show returns later this week.
For the past few years, The Expanse has been a big part of our Christmas season. It’s been like the giant present sitting under our tree each and every December, waiting for us to unwrap it, brightening our winters. When we were planning our coverage of this final season, we kept wondering, what would Christmas be like in the universe that Dan and Ty have created? We kept turning the idea over in our minds, and this audio-drama A Very Belter Christmas is the result!
We talked with Showrunner and Executive Producer David S. Goyer again after the conclusion of Foundation season 1 and he was gracious enough to answer some of our lingering questions. Thanks again to David for being a good sport and for a great season of epic science fiction TV. Respect and enjoy the interview.
