#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I hated the character in season one.In later seasons he became a bit less irritating, and I actually think Wil Wheaton, when he got a bit older gave a few good performances.But the character never really appealed to me.

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Wheaton was bad in the first episode. But so was everyone else. Even Patrick Stewart was horrible in the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange 446 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Even Patrick Stewart was horrible in the pilot.Indeed. At that stage he was still stuck in the "very loud and ever so slightly angry all the time" theatrical peformance he had been used to for years. Watch him in Excalibur or Dune (84) and it's "Pilot Picard in forest/desert settings". Over the years he chilled out and as a character is someone I would like in real life. Before that it was - "Oh please stop being so theatrical"I guess even that Janeway character was the same. At first she was "Margaret thatcher", but then chilled out.P.S : Yeah Wesley was slighty annoying at times. But he got better once they ditched that "chosen one" concept.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What annoyed me about TNG was that Picard wasn't often the main character, the rest of the crew was as a whole, and their stories often bored me. The movies rectified that by focusing more on Picard and Data, and to a lesser extent Riker and Troi as a background thread.The original series got it right by focusing on the "big four", Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Kirk's beloved USS Enterprise.

TNG is about the main officers.Nevertheless I like DS9 as much as TNG and it has wider arcs comparing to the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Yes actually, the first season. I've started from the start.I don't understand the dislike for the earlier seasons. I think it's great so far! Picard's a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Because the writing is often apallin, the plots were often the worst examples of sci-fi, in many cases they were just ripping of plots from TOS, the aliens planets feel like they were set onb a sound stage, the music calls unwanted attention to itself and even the acting is a bit iffy.You really like stories like Justice, and Angel One, do you?

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 even the acting is a bit iffy."A bit"? The acting is lousy, and in the first couple of episodes, even Stewart looks like a total amateur, and a bad one at that. And don't give me any of this "still in his theatre mode" crap, he doesn't come over like he's on a stage, he just seems like he has no grasp on the character at all and no confidence in getting any, either.Luckily, he quickly improved (the rest of the cast took one or two seasons longer). Sarek features some of the best acting I've seen from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
