I suppose I could blather on about Picard
May. 19th, 2020 04:29 amHad a whole rage filled rant about Widget's mother and I decided nope, not going to commit that to memory.
Instead, let's prattle on about finally finishing Picard, shall we? Mom and I started it a week or so ago (a little more, I think) and then she left me in the dust. ;_; So I circled back, armed with one spoiler that I kinda brought on myself (I asked a question and she answered with a little more info that I anticipated) and watched the rest.
Technical stuff first: the sound balance on the show is terrible. In order to hear a good hunk of the dialog, you have to crank the volume up to something ungodly. I know our TV's sound isn't great but I've never had to crank it up to damn near 100 to hear simple dialog. Annnnnnnd because it's a Trek show, there will be a long stretch of important dialog that immediately cuts to EXPLOSIONS and PEWPEWPEW and you will go deaf. At first I truly thought it was just our TV, but a friend (hi, Al) posted a question on FB about it and yeah. It's the show.
I dig the opening sequence though it goes on for forever. The music is pretty and thus I let it play, but for an opening that is that long, they sure didn't see fit to actually list the big names in each episode. Specifically... ( might as well go into spoilers now, huh. )
Oh. And finally, the decision to have Rios in multiple forms? That person deserves a raise.
