He was on Breaking Bad.
Oh good! Dont think I could take a canon explanation of Q deciding to show himself as fat.

Picard was a million times better than Discovery though.
Getting shit thrown at your face for 45 minutes would be better than Discovery.

And still ten million times worse than even Enterprise.

This won't change anything. It might provide us with 5 minutes of a good show until it gets ruined by whatever else they decide to do. And isn't Picard an android now? He's in no position to represent humanity, that loser.

Picard s1 was one of the worst things I’ve seen.
50% of it was Picard just visiting people and crying.
Q can’t save this shit tbh.

I keep hearing conflicting noise about Lower Decks. I've seen parts of both Discovery and Picard, and thought they were mostly crap, and it seems most reasonable people think so too. But I haven't seen any of Lower Decks, and I've heard wildly varying opinions from every direction. So I legit can't tell if your post is sarcastic vs sincere.

It's hilarious with some seriously insane deep canon pulls. I mean they have the Spock helmet in it!
Season 2 is going to have a lot more Riker as one of the main characters transferred to the Titan at the end of the first season.

How do they explain Q looking older?

There's nothing to save if the intent is to ruin.

The show was ruined the minute they made it take place in an alternative universe that is based on events that didn't happen in TNG show or movies.

It's not an alternate universe. The supernova happened in the PRIME Universe... the one with TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, DISC, LD... Spock Prime went through the singularity and came out the other side in the Kelvin timeline after Nero (I think that was his name) already created that divergent timeline.

Still incredibly confusing and the events never happened in a mainstream TV show or movie.
I was a bit lost at the start of Picard and thought that I had somehow missed a TNG movie.

Ehm, so it's not the same timeline as TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY since Romulus never blew up in those.
How is a different timeline not an alternate universe?

Huh? Romulus blew up in the PRIME universe years after those shows ended.

Romulus blowing up in the PRIME universe happened in the 2009 Star Trek movie that made more money than any previous Trek film. That’s pretty mainstream.

I just told you ... These events (the supernova) happened YEARS after TNG. They didn't happen in the Kelvin universe and won't until 100 years into THEIR future.
Tho the timelines diverged, certain events will still happen... Like a sun going supernova. That's why Spock was so taken aback when Nero destroyed Vulcan... Because it didn't happen in Old Spock's timeline, which is the PRIME timeline we all know.

Any show where Jonathan Frakes gets to shit on both the Enterprise series finale AND the terrible theme song in the same joke is worth watching.

I confused Romulus with Vulcan that was destroyed in the 2009 movie.
Assuming what the 2009 movies says is canon (which I don't since I see it as a reboot) then yeah Romulus gets destroyed in 2387 in the Prime timeline.
Either way, Picard and Discovery are a dramatic tone shift from the more optimistic Prime series.

It didn't reboot the Prime universe though.
The first season isn't bad until they reveal ANOTHER lost Soong and (again) completely forget that Lore exists. The Riker/Troi episode of Picard was perfect.
It's much much much better than Seasons 1 and 3 of DISCO. Season 2 of DISCO isn't bad at all and they cast the best Pike in Trek - Strange New Worlds will be great as it's all Pike.

Indeed, it's an alternate timeline/universe that sadly is getting all the ST series/movies made for now.

This. Too. All I see from Hollywood right now is the 2020's grasping at the '90s trying to be cool again. Well, it ain't happening. If the '90s could travel through time to meet us here in the present, they'd kick the shit out of us and conquer us. The '90s really knew how to be. We just don't want to invest the time and money to be original anymore.
Granted Star Trek wasn't original to the '90s or even the '80s, TNG at least flipped Trek on its nose and did what anyone would have said would be a prime time disaster: space soap opera.

It's not an alternate timeline or universe. Discovery and Picard are set in the Prime universe. The Kelvin universe is pretty much dead now that JJ Abrams is exclusive to WB.

Mate it’s really not confusing at all lol.
Everything happened in the main Star Trek universe including spook going through the black hole.
He ended up in an alternative timeline which contains the 3 Star Trek movies with Chris evens/Pratt etc as Kirk.

And that universe is pretty much dead now.
Not only is JJ Abrams exclusive to WB, but the whole reason it was created in the first place was because CBS and Paramount were separate at the time. CBS wanted to do TV shows and Paramount decided to do movies. So Paramount made the reboot universe with JJ Abrams to set the movies in.
Now that CBS and Paramount are the same company again, there's one universe and it's the Prime universe. There's literally nothing from the Kelvin timeline announced to be coming, EVERYTHING is now in the Prime universe again.

It’s more of a threat than anything. They are dragging back every bit of nostalgia possible.
Tried watching Picard and couldn’t make it past the first few. Trek is dead.

How is Vulcan's destruction not an alternate timeline/universe? There's even a name for that universe, Kelvin.
I was under the mistaken impression that STD & STP were in the Kelvin timeline so I stand corrected on that. But from what I've heard about those series they raise a lot of questions and destroy a lot of Gene's vision of Star Trek.
Where was I confused? Nero travelled back in time from Prime and caused the Kelvin timeline.
