I got to see The Snyder cut last year at a special cinema screening here in Ireland and recently got to see the The Godfather during it’s fiftieth anniversary rerelease.
I think it’s still good fun, I’m enjoying it every week. I do think it’s striking just how much more characterful and likeable the main team of this are than the bunch of nameless drips in Discovery.
I am enjoying Picard despite the writing and totally agree the cast are streets ahead of Discovery.
I still have not watched Season 4 of Discovery the only way I can currently watch it if I pay £19.99 on Prime which I am reluctant to do in case its really bad. I probably will buy it when I have finished my current TV watch list.
I thought you were only talking of a full theatrical rerelease?
I was.But there are no screenings of ANY kind for TMP in my country ( as far as I know ) which is a damn shame.There was a limited window where I could see Godfather and ZSJL in cinemas and I’m glad i managed it.
Looking it up, in the US there was only charity screenings in LA and NY for ZSJL.
But to my earlier point, at least in the US, Fathom Event screenings have become the standard way of screening classic films for their anniversaries. Usually hosted by Turner Classic Movies. It’s because of that I was able to see movies like GONE WITH THE WIND, REAR WINDOW, PSYCHO, THE BIRDS, TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD. I even got to see my very first viewings of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and DOUBLE INDEMNITY thanks to Fathom.
They did screen THE MOTION PICTURE for its 40th anniversary but I skipped on that because I was pretty sure it wasn’t the new 4K remaster that wouldn’t come until 2021. With the Director’s Edition, I’m making that a priority. On a similar note, there’s a 40th anniversary screening for WRATH OF KHAN later this year. Last year I was able to see the new 4K remaster of THE VOYAGE HOME for the first time because of Fathom.
Outside of Fathom Events, it depends on independent theaters being or certain chains to be able to screen certain classics.
I gave up on Picard series one. Just thought it was a confusing mess
2024 Guinan doesn’t remember Picard because she’s in an alternate timeline where Picard never goes back to 1893 since the future is radically different.
That's the guilty pleasure one. ;-)
Only seen up to episode 4 but doesn’t the event that causes the alternate future occur in 2024? That’s why they have gone back to this time to time in the first place,to fix what happens around this time.The time previous to 2024 should be pretty much unaltered.
Also,the fact that they are in 2024 means there should be at least SOME mention of the Eugenics wars that occurred during the nineties that caused Khan to flee earth.
What you’re seeing is the past being altered due to the future changing, which is why Guinan doesn’t remember Picard because from the future that Picard travels from there was no time travel to 1893. It’s a good example of how the past AND future changes both ways depending on the critical point which is 2024.
Without spoiling anything, Episode 5 heavily infers the eugenics wars via the ban on eugenics experiments that was imposed after the war.
I actually thought it was more egregious that VOYAGER had an episode set in 1996 and there was zero reference to it aside from an Easter egg in Sarah Silverman’s work office of the Botany Bay. Turned out that was a conscious choice of the writers, who felt such a reference was too distracting.
Interesting.Will check out episode 5 tonight.
I never read them but there was a trilogy of novels about Khan going from the actual eugenics wars to being marooned on Cetus Alpha 5.One of them actually managed to make the Voyager episode make sense in the timeline and included the characters from that episode as well as Dr. Gillian Taylor from The Voyage Home.
Epic!
And that one who keeps calling Picard “ JL “ is a terrible actress.She completely overacts in every episode.The season started off well but Q IS totally wasted and the storyline is going nowhere at a snails pace.And how many times is Picard is going to have that flashback of his aunt/whatever saying “ Look to the skies Jean Luc! “
Please tell me the next episode is better cos I’m seriously thinking of ditching like i did for Star Trek:Burnham.
Modern live-action Star Trek in a nutshell. Many plotlines that could go somewhere but never do.
I should rephrase my last post.
You have my sword.
That thumbnail pretty much sums up the state of modern day Star Trek.
Totally understandable.
Here is the intro to Strange New Worlds...

Picard S2 Episode 9, wow the budget dried up in this one. God dam awful.
Sounds encouraging.
