And how is an Android pulling off a mind meld?

So Dr. Soon magically had a son nobody knew about and Soji has an evil twin that hates/fears everyone and is homicidal. Hmm where have I seen a story like this? That's right on Enterprise where Brent Spiner essentially played the same character except he was nursing sociopathic genetically altered super humans.
And what's up with these magical orchids that can EMP any ship including a borg cube? And how is an Android pulling off a mind meld? So dumb.
I've enjoyed a few episodes (1,4,6,7, and 8) but the writing in this last episode was so bad. Dr. Soong having a son was awful, especially the fact that he appears more talented than his father ever was if he created more androids. Also, I don't get the yellow faced ones? Those ones should be closer to Data, and not die from something going through their eye. Why make them yellow? I was also predicting the plot as the episode went along. Just disappointing. I'm really only watching it at this point because it's a sequel to TNG, and that was my favorite show as a kid...
I agree,the whole thing was awful.
The worst thing about this is a better writer could've actually told a good version of this story!
I'm a couple episodes behind but if you mean Soji and not someone else, she's organic, remember? Insert handwaving here.
It's sojis evil twin who is clearly an androidish type of synthetic being, closer to a machine than human.
yeah episode 9 was pretty bad. I kept asking myself "wtf am I watching?" it was almost as bad as Wesley Crusher falling in a flowerbed and being sentenced to death or something lol
I really had high hopes for this series, but I'm left disappointed so far. I agree with the others here about the weak plot and unimaginative characters. But another thing that really stands out to me is Picard just seems to be along for the ride, he's contributed next to nothing except being chosen as a safe haven by those original two android chicks.
Yeah, I just couldn't get into this show because it's just "Old man goes for ride in space and does nothing except listen to everyone complain about him." I watched through episode 3 with a friend, and had no desire to watch more.
I kinda understand why Picard didn't keep in touch with these assholes. It's the only part of this story arc that makes sense.
They already tackled Data's child in The Offspring, so this is just more of that. Nothing new to see here.
It would appear that most people on this forum hate the show .... but for those who are interested the entire season just became free to non-subscribers (well you still have to sign up .. you just don’t have to pay): Picard Free
I only hate because I care. If it was some random netflix sci-fi you wouldn't give a shit. That being said if you have fond memories of the old show I recommend you just watch episode seven. It's a break from the main plot consisting of pure fan service to catch up with old friends.It would appear that most people on this forum hate the show
lol worked on me with amazon. thankfully my little sis watches crap on it all the time, i dont.So the show is now completely a marketing scheme to get people to sign up for CBS and maybe hopefully pay or forget they signed up and auto-charge keeps going through.
I actually enjoy both Picard and Discovery ... its the numerous other posters who always criticize both and toss around the SJW card.I only hate because I care.

It's probably one of those where you have to give them your credit card and you automatically get billed on day 31 though....
ive had to provide a cc# for every "free month" ive every signed up for. people should not be surprised.Yes and you better believe a lot of people are mad about that--just scroll down and read a few comments.
CBS all Access is free for 30 days right now.

how long is this offer good for?...meaning can I sign up next week using that promo code and still get the free month?
I used a free one month trial of CBS AA back in February and watched both seasons of ST: Discovery...perfect timing as they recently added Dolby Vision support for half of the Season 2 episodes via Apple TV 4K...Picard also has Dolby Vision

What is Dolby Vision?
Edit: Looked it up. It's a form of HDR. I'v e never bothered with HDR on anything. Not worth upgrading my TV over before it dies.
Is Dolby Vision only through the AppleTV app?

HDR is amazing, but probably worth waiting for as TVs with it are only getting better and better as the years go.
I've been thinking what exactly does "Picard" add to this series? They have basically painted him as some mostly clueless avg-joe that needs everything explained to him. If they replaced him with some random person with a different name, the show would be the same. His character doesn't really contribute much, and It just adds a small nostalgic factor based off his name, but that is about it. The writing though... they took a character that was in command of a star ship and now have to spoon feed him what is going on. I think he should have been written better.
I suspect it's on the latest Shield, but I haven't tried the CBS app since I got it. Kinda want to wait till Discovery and the Good fight are done airing (or within 4 weeks of ending) so I can just binge it all in a single month.Yes...when I used the CBS-AA free trial in February HDR/DV support was limited to Apple TV 4K devices...don't know if that's changed now but I'm guessing it's still only available via Apple...it was 1080p HDR...no 4K DV but it definitely looked better then the standard 1080p SDR version...CBS-AA and Hulu are very slow to support 4K HDR...Netflix and Amazon have had it for years now...even the newer Disney+ and Apple TV+ support it
