Damn. It’s so late.
Have to be up in 7 hours. Blerg.
Decided I wanted to watch Picard tonight with Liz and Josh before we recorded our Film School episode. Don’t regret that at all…but it is stressful that I’m getting to bed so late.
Picard is not great.
I’ll watch it because Patrick Stewart still has it. So does Brent Spiner, actually. He was still great as Data, cgi de-aging and all. And we’re going on an adventure. It has that, which I’m definitely here for.
But, it’s not great. It still feels like B-Team. Which is disappointing, given that Michael Chabon is involved. The dude won a goddamn Pulitzer Prize, and he deserved it, too. He can tell an amazing story. But, I don’t know how involved he is on these scripts, nor do I really know how much experience he has with television.
Pilots/First Episodes are hard. No question.
We’ll see where they go with it.
Night!
