Literally no one else enjoys them. And if people do they know where to find them.

When GG can post 3289373767373 Star Wars videos, I can post a few on Star Trek.

I can’t see Bomber being blocked when GG seems to have free reign in Star Wars threads.
Personally if he finds enjoyment in chasing down videos bagging the show, how ever weird that may seem, then all the best to him.
Show has steadily improved and is much watch for me.

A team of engineers was sighted recently at Gene Roddenberry's grave. Apparently his spinning has become a harvestable source of energy.

Lol
Think it’s a great show and carry’s on the characters and plots from past shows.

Both Discovery and Picard have moved away from Roddenberry's view of an idyllic future for mankind, but seriously, there was not much further they could take that idea, conflict from within is as, if not more, interesting than conflict from without.

There was plenty of conflict in the OS, Next Gen and all the movies.
The ideals are still there.

Yes, but the conflict was from without. Roddenberry had a mandate that the shows had to demonstrate an idyllic view of mankind and the conflict could not actually be between the main characters. In Picard, in particular, Starfleet is being shown as fractured as our current society by abandoning the Romulans out of fear. Picard is at odds with the Federation and Starfleet. The idea that humankind had overcome its fears and pettiness has been dropped.

I'm enjoying the series but I do find the plot is moving along so slowly.

It isn’t over yet. Whose to say we can’t overcome?
And it wasn’t always external, Undiscovered Country? Many Next Gen episodes with internal conflict.

It’s 10 episodes?
Roddenberry hated the Undiscovered Country. And he was booted off TNG pretty early in the piece. That said, TNG was still largely his vision. DS9 definitely wasn’t.
His idea was that humans had overcome their base instincts. Reckon he’d be appalled by the idea that Starfleet abandoned a whole race to die. Not that I care, just why some Star Trek purists might be upset.

You're right, still, it's very slow-paced ATM
Caught up now, I really liked the reunion episode, but it was still a filler episode to the main story. Loved the chemistry between Frakes, Sirtis, & Stewart, I bet they enjoyed filming that.

*Episode 7 spoilers*
Enjoyed episode 7, the show seems to be finding its feet and moving along. I liked Elnor choosing to remain behind and hopefully teaming him and Seven on the cube can make an interesting side plot.
I wouldn't have minded if Riker had suited up and joined the crew although I fully expect his 'very good reason' will lead him to flying in to save the day at some point.
It was a real shame that the original actor (Brian Brophy) wasn't brought back to be Maddox (ditto Icheb), having the original actor reprise the role of Hugh showed how good that consistency can be especially considering how much of the series is being carried by nostalgia and fan service.
As has been mentioned before the biggest problem with the show is Picard's annominity (and the Federation sidelining him) considering how many millions of lives he must have saved over the years. Just one of those suspension of disbelief things and at least there was some acknowledgement of his reputation in the last episode.

My only issue with the show is that Picard has objectively been a bit of an a-hole to both Raffi and Elnor, something that is out of character and never been fully explained away. Otherwise looking forward to seeing where it goes and have actually enjoyed the week to week ride rather than binge watching.

Thought last week's was the best yet.
