1 00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:04,400 Yesterday the new episode of Picard was released. 2 00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:07,200 In this episode Picard encounters Guinan in Los Angeles, on Forward Street, here. 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,700 However, despite a pivotal moment in both of their lives having been the occasion when Picard saved Guinan's life in 1893, 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,600 Somehow, Guinan... had no idea who Picard was. 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,500 It must be some intentionally plotted messing with the timeline thing - surely Picard was surprised that Guinan didn't already recognize him from 1893. 6 00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:30,600 Actually, sir... 7 00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:35,500 We're pretty certain the writers just had no freaking clue that Time's Arrow was a thing. 8 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,100 Anyone who didn't wonder at least once where the hell Lore was in Season 1 of Picard, leave the room now. 9 00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:17,100 It makes no fucking sense! Can these writers even spell "continuity"? 10 00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:24,400 We already know from Yesterday's Enterprise that Guinan retains memories when the timeline changes. She knew Tasha and she'd never even met her in the other timeline! 11 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:29,300 That episode didn't turn her into an embittered shotgun-toting jerk who doesn't wear a hat. 12 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,600 And she didn't get fucking "af-kelt"! 13 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,700 And I know exactly how this will go, some smartasses on Reddit will come up with some bullshit theory about how the timeline is broken so Picard could never come to the past in the first place. 14 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,100 Then who the fuck stopped the Devidians? What about the temporal Cold War? Who was the real Gabriel Bell? 15 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,000 But sir, they brought back the punk rock guy... 16 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,800 I didn't even like Star Trek IV! 17 00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:46,400 Fucking whales, they give me the creeps! 18 00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:47,800 Sir, we must have confidence that the writers have a bigger plan that we don't yet appreciate... 19 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,900 They've never even watched Star Trek. For all you know their plan is to bring in a Mandalorian in the next episode. 20 00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,600 New Star Trek! You'll love it, they told me. 21 00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:00,500 It was bad enough when they made Picard an irrelevant, incompetent asshole everyone hated in the first season. 22 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,200 Or didn't know that Ten Forward means fucking Deck Ten, Forward. 23 00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,600 Now it's not even internally consistent! If there's no continuity, there's no logic to the story! 24 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,100 You might as well give Picard magic powers and let him turn Elnor into a fucking pony by tapping his knees together! 25 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,400 If there's no rules anyway, it makes as much sense as anything else! 26 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,500 I'd rather watch Threshold. At least it was only an hour long and used established characters. 27 00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:23,500 Maybe they can kill Picard again this season too! 28 00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:33,300 If Picard and Guinan couldn't meet because the future timeline was all erased anyway than what was the point of going back before the divergence? 29 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,900 And if it was erased then why are Picard and his crew even still there at all? 30 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,900 In First Contact at least you had chroniton radiation. Here they have... 31 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,200 But who am I kidding? I've already spent more time thinking this through than the writers did. 32 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:52,100 JJ Abrams already broke both TOS and Star Wars. 33 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400 Is there any sci-fi franchise left that his cronies can't fuck up? 34 00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:59,900 I just pray he's never heard of fucking Battlestar Galactica! 35 00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:02,700 There's nothing else left! 36 00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:05,800 So say we all. 37 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,000 From now on, I'll just need to rely on the very few things left that I can count on as being true. 38 00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:24,300 Han shot first... 39 00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,000 Q is an omnipotent being immune to diseases... 40 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,600 And Master Chief. 41 00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:48,700 We'll always have Master Chief. 42 00:03:53,100 --> 00:04:00,000 They will never compromise his artistic integrity.
