STAR TREK: PICARD SEASON 2 REVIEW

Patrick Stewart returns as Jean-Luc Picard in this second season of the Paramount Plus television series. This time, Q (John de Lancie) has shown up to wreak his special brand of mischief and it’s thrust Picard, Jurati (Alison Pill), Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), Raffi (Michelle Hurd), Elnor (Evan Evagora), and Rios (Santiago Cabrera) into an alternate timeline where the Federation is the Confederation, a “Mirror Mirror”-like version of the universe where humans are xenophobic and have conquered most of the galaxy. In order to restore the timeline they must travel into the distant past year of 2024 on Earth and figure out where Q has messed with the timeline. Oh, and they have the Borg queen (Annie Wersching) in tow and have to deal with her likely machinations to boot. Along the way they meet old friends, some in different incarnations of themselves, perform musical numbers, deal with ICE, get in car chases, and confront their troubled pasts. Chris, Harmoni, Jordan, and Marco engage with the season and check their tricorder readings to see how it performs.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

 

 

Harmoni Anderson (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Unstabletop Gaming)

Harmoni is a mermaid-haired, millennial, rum drinking, Section 31, Slytherin (who’s divorced J.K. Rowling) preschool/nursery teacher and multi genre geek who also loves all things film, tv, fashion, makeup, and an embarrassingly huge BTS stan. Like really embarrassing. As in,
