So far my fears about this moving to the cw have been for not. First episode and it’s hasn’t been CW nized let’s hope the rest of season 2 stays on point.

@grumpyv That's because it is still made by Geoff Johns. Because Geoff Johns created Courtney Whitmore in the comics to honour his sister after she died in a major plane crash, he is going to make sure that the tv show is as high quality as possible and he is not going to allow the CW to do their usual bullshit soap opera drama.
Geoff Johns also worked on the Snyder cut and he had enough power to be able to tell Snyder what he could and what he couldn't do with the project. Geoff Johns is arguably the best DC Comics writer of all time so he makes the best stories. This is why, as long as he is in charge, this show is going to always be amazing, even if it is on the CW.

I love Giancarlo Esposito as a villain, he is absolutely amazing.
it's really sad seeing Elliot in pain crossing the line but he's got no choices anymore. this show gets better episode by episode.

@the_argentinian Cobb Vanth, Fennec Shand, The Mandalorian, Grogu, Grand Moff Gideon, The Armourer, Koska Reeves, etc. It's no different to wrestling - you bring in the legends to accentuate the newbies.
Luke is also one of the biggest protagonist and has the biggest mystery behind him in the 30 years from 6 - 7. You're going to get more Luke.
No joke, this single episode is the best Star Wars I've seen since the throne room sequence in Return of the Jedi. I can't think of anything else that comes close except maybe the ending of Rogue One.

@xaliber Compared to the prequels and the new movies. Yes, this is StarWars.
[8.5/10] Expectations can be a difficult thing to manage. When you hear that an actor is going to reprise one of your favourite roles of all time, it's easy to get excited. When you see trailers and it looks good, you get more excited. When you start hearing positive early reviews, your excitement level can go through the roof. If anything, I was worried that my expectations for Picard were just too high, and I was only going to be disappointed.
But almost from the opening moments of this premiere, I was swept up. Picard avoids excessive nostalgia (but provides just a nice amount) and begins by telling a tale full of emotion and character. It's markedly different from Star Trek: Discovery, both in terms of visuals and writing. The pace is measured and characters are given room to breathe, the action is sparse but hard-hitting. Patrick Stewart himself is a frailer man than the one we remember, but there's no mistaking that this is our Jean-Luc Picard back on screen.
It's still early days and there are a lot of directions this story could take. But here I was surprised at just how impactful some of the emotional moments and revelations were. Isa Briones is strong in the role of Dahj, seemingly an unknown "daughter" of Data's,, but it was Picard's reaction to it all that made it have so much more weight. No mention of Data's other daughter, Lal, but that may come up later.
There was some awkward exposition early on with an interview sequence that didn't quite hit the mark due a mix of writing that was a bit too on-the-nose and the actor for the interviewer feeling weirdly out of place. For a mostly calm opening there was a surprising amout of information and story to be digested here and a lot of questions that I can't wait to be answered.

@lefthandedguitarist excellent review of this premiere! You always manage to put your thoughts into words much better than I'm able to. My brain rated this episode an 8, but my heart gave it a 9. I feel that this pilot episode got us both excited for the rest of the season. It sure feels great to have a weekly fix of Picard once more after all these years. Now bring on those cameos! And I want to see Jonathan Frakes directing an episode or two, at least.
How exactly do they plan to conclude all these plot points in one more episode?!?
I've loved this season, but this feels like it needs another 5 episodes at least!loading replies
@isaac_paech Extra-long finale. (Also, be prepared for a Rogue One-like ending)
So after all that they just let the rebellious clones walk away? I mean, anyone who has seen Rebels knows that Wolffe will eventually change sides, but did nobody else in his squad really had a problem with letting their #1 target walk away (Isn't "Good soldiers follow orders" still a thing due to the inhibitor chip?). How are they even going to explain that to their superiors? The resolution just felt poorly made.

@essenslug Ok, that makes more sense. But I still find it hard to believe that no one else in the squad objected to letting them go when they were both outnumbered and outgunned.

@ghax1111 It was a plot in an earlier season that the inhibitor chips eventually stopped working
Not alltogether bad but watching it almost 10 years after it aired you instantly get the feeling this is one of this (now) overused story arcs of a cat and mouse game between a cop and a genius killer who will always get away in an unexpected twist until the final episode where she makes a stupid mistake.
The whole setup is very generic, the characters are clichèd (cop with marriage issues, child prodigy killing her parents) , and I am already tired of the sexual angle. Plus there is an awful logic issue: why did no one in the crematorium find the gun parts ? If you want to be recognized as an intelligent drama don't make such mistakes.loading replies
Yeah, I feel exactly the same about this show just having started it ... Not only the gun parts, but why couldn’t they have Zoe identify the voice? Isn’t that basic 101 police work?
This was a hilarious episode! Loved seeing another side of Casey's personality! Great character development

@si_crazy Especially after being told he needs to kill Chuck once the new Intersect is functional!..
Acting is ok, visuals are great, Iroh and Zuko were the best here.
But what I‘m annoyed with is how they completely changed Bumi‘s character. Iroh is slightly different, too.
And the worst is how they changed the story. Zuko and Iroh weren’t supposed to be in Omashu.
The Omashu tunnel should have come later.
And when will Aang start water bending? He hasn’t even touched water since the beginning. In the original series he starts in the first episode. Yes he was in the avatar state but still…loading replies
@NBA20 it’s not supposed to be a copy of the animated series. I don’t want to repeat the same thing again. I am glad they are going with a new story

Am I the only one that really liked the episode? Sure some things were rushed or off but they also had great scenes/elements from the anime! I like how they also try to make it their own. I do wonder how people like it who don't know the original (feel free to comment to let me know :wink:)

I haven‘t seen the original series or movie, and I found this first episode incredible. The story is fresh to me, the visuals are amazing, it’s easy to connect with the characters. Definitely thumbs up, hope it will continue that way.

@leanmrk Agree--- this was an absolutely delightful way to put it all together. Probably the most comic-book-like of nearly any of the myriad comic book movies and shows Marvel has put out yet.
Wonderful.

@desmond206x I really liked this episode, but the baby scene.. my daughter is 1 months old and it hit me hard
Amazing!
Apart from the scenes with daredevil which I adored, Jen going mad and damage control showing up, this is the plot I root for on a super hero show, not some personal growth issues at a wedding...loading replies
@hamadam Well it's a sitcom, so personal growth issues is defintely something I root for
As someone (apparently) without any sense of good taste, I found this episode to be highly amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. Haters gonna hate.
loading replies
@misnomer It's been absolutely charming the whole series. I agree.
With a "franchise" (gods, I hate that word) as large as the Marvel stuff, there's gonna be stuff NOT FOR YOU, everyone... It doesn't make it bad if you don't vibe with it. :D
i didn't think it was possible for an MCU show to get worse with every episode, but She-Hulk somehow manages to up the cringe factor every week. ep 6, and once again, nothing of interest happens, which is a common theme for this show. Jen goes to a wedding, her friends back at the office represent a man who gets out of marriage by killing himself (he is immortal) and that is basically it
they devote a few seconds at the end of the episode to the actual plot of someone wanting She-Hulks blood
loading replies
@quasar1967 Besides it being the hilarious MCU introduction of the famed Avenger Mr Immortal, leader of the Great Lakes Avengers, sure, nothing "important" happens.
Does something "important" need to happen in every episode? Did something "important" happen in every single episode of Friends, for example?
Jessica Gao is just an outright awful writer who disgraced every actor and actress in this show by ruining a wonderful Marvel character. If she believes that every man is like this, she really requires substantial help. It's really terrible. If I weren't a completist and wanted to know everything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I would've already abandoned this show. I will have to endure all of this, tragically.
loading replies
@eddierdy I'm more concerned that even though the series also shows normal male characters, you only look at the toxic ones to shout "she thinks all men are like that".
Let's see if it's going to turn out that you identify with those types of men and the one who needs help is you.
Complaining that you're "tragically going to have to endure" watching a series is nothing to beat your chest about either.
It was kinda interesting but, The Silent Slenderman made it a bit irritating..

VIP4I think if I tried pointing out all the illogical parts of this episode I'd run out of space, but let's just go with the dumbest part: Why on earth did they bother with bringing Dixon and O'Donnell on the chopper just to dump them? Obviously it was just an excuse to open the doors so Reacher could crawl in, but so far this season the writers don't seem to bother asking themselves "what is the goal of the character here"
And why was Reacher in charge of what happened with the money? A bit weird, as he's not their boss but whatever
