Picard 1.04: Absolute Candor

One of my favourite things about both Disco and Picard is that we're finally getting Star Trek that's been influenced by my favourite non-Trek SF of the 2000s, e.g. the way they physically fling digital files around like in Minority Report. It's even more satisfying when it's inspired by things that were themselves inspired by Trek, like Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica reboot. (And I've never played Mass Effect, but I've been told there are serious Mass Effect vibes so far too.)

I remember seeing Firefly shortly before its cancellation and wishing for a Star Trek show with a similar premise: the people who fly under the radar of the big shiny capital ships we're used to seeing. Voyager did a good job showing civilian life in the Delta Quadrant, and both DS9 and Disco gave us a few tantalizing glimpses of life outside Starfleet, but the truth is, what I've really wanted is a Firefly-esque cast of rogues rogue-ing around in the world of TNG, and I've wanted it for my entire adult life.

Since the end of this episode, I have had the biggest fucking smile on my face.

Spoilers within:

Looks like they're sticking to a broadcast-friendly 40 minutes per episode. Slightly disappointing, since I like what Disco does with their extra ten or so minutes, but honestly I'm okay with this show's pacing so far; I shouldn't be greedy.

Seeing Jean-Luc in that white suit and hat surrounded by the dusty, vaguely Eastern setting of Vashti just screamed "douchebag colonialist" to me. Which was probably the point — mainly I'm wondering why, if he was there on Starfleet business, he wasn't in uniform.

The sound design on this show fucking slaps. La Sirena's engines are straight-up ASMR to me.

Michael Chabon writes sparkling dialogue. Jurati in particular is just adorable this episode.

The subtitles refer to the Emergency Hospitality Hologram as "Mr. Hospitality."

Another thing New TV Trek has picked up from the Abrams movies that I quite like: starships at warp feel like they're going fast. Like, scary fast. Like they're hurtling barely-controlled through space. Space travel in general feels more dangerous than it did in the 90s — more like TOS S1, honestly. I approve.

Extremely annoying that they cut from Rios's suggestion of a bribe to Picard beaming down, without establishing what that bribe was going to be or how they'd pay it.

We finally meet (the astonishingly pretty) Elnor. If Romulans can be Irish, I guess they can also be Australian.

That scene of Narek and Soji sliding around in their socks was extremely triggering for me, because I used to do that as a kid on my aunt's hardwood floors until I slammed into the wall one day and broke my toe.

"Kar Kantar" is such a Star Wars name.

Maybe it's just my own abandonment issues talking, but I appreciate that the show is taking Picard to task for turning his back on the Romulan rescue mission — and Raffi, and Elnor — when Starfleet did. He has as much to answer for as Admiral Clancy, or whoever had her job in 2385, and he knows it, and I think we're going to see him try to atone for that over the rest of this season.

What in the entire galaxy was Picard planning to accomplish by walking into that "Romulans only" bar and starting shit? Was he trying to see how much trouble he could get into in the seven minutes before they could beam him up?

I felt bad for that Senator, tbh, and Picard was right that he didn't deserve to die — but he was also running at Picard with a sword immediately after being warned off by an obvious ninja. Was Elnor just supposed to let J.L. get impaled?

Narek is so boring, and he makes everyone he shares scenes with boring.

"Your little robot girl has a plan." (laughs in Cylon)

There was so much to love about that battle sequence: the old-school Bird of Prey, the hungover Chilean tactical hologram, that little Delta Flyer-looking ship, and then SEVEN OF GODDAMN NINE, FINALLY.

And next week looks like they're bringing back some of the silliness. Can't wait!

WIE R.W.F. ZUR BLUTWÄSCHE NACH TANGER

10:14h. Ein Gefühl von Strafversetzung, wenn die Nachbarn Sonntagmorgen um 10 Wäsche waschen und im Dojo die Kampfsport-Schreie losgehen, Männer in den Wehen, aber im Knast ist’s schön heute, ganz hellblau. 

Die Schönheit der Das besondere Restaurant Reihe, sind vielleicht die am schönsten gestalteten Seiten im FAZ.net

Das superstrenge, kantige Gesicht des koreanischen Mannes im Asia Market um die Ecke, und dann, wenn man ihn anspricht, wird er ganz sanft und freundlich und lächelt und ist der süßeste Mann der Welt. Er trägt immer ein weißes Hemd und eine schwarze Buntfaltenhose. Wie machen die das da, können die davon wirklich leben, das frage ich mich immer, wenn ich dran vorbeigehe. Gestern starrte ich auf eine Packung mit den gesüßten roten Bohnen, die die Japaner in Ohagi machen. Shigeru hatte früher manchmal Ohagi selbstgemacht. Danach fragte ich ihn ständig, wann er wieder welche machte, ich glaube, ich war fast schon aggressiv dabei.
