    To be honest, I reported this video. Not only is he admiting to spread fales informations/lying (which is a break of YT ToS) he also clearly trys to stir up "drama" between himself and/or other creators, which is (thouse who might have heard of the whole H3H3/Keemstar thing already know) also a break of the ToS. Don't know if he has ads in that video, I'm using Adblocker, but if he does (making money of it), that's a thrid violation of the ToS.

    The most funny thing is thought, that if there weren't such lying a**holes like him, who on purpose spread "fake news", 4chan would be a very good source for valid leaks. For example:
    Each and every leak posted about TLoU2 since 2016 was 100% true.
    80-90% of all leaks posted about the last 5 Star Wars movies were true.
    And the list goes on and on.

    Totally off topic here... but I honestly can't decide if he's closer to 25 or 40. One of those faces.

    I enjoyed Season 1 of Picard more than I did Discovery. However, I remain entirely unconvinced as to how they are handling the character of Picard. It seems to be more like Sir Patrick Steward playing himself than former 'Admiral Picard'. Age would change a lot of things, but he's just not acting like a leader, he feels overly emotional and lacks that vigor and purpose. I completely agree about wanting to see Starfleet ships, although I understand why Patrick Steward didn't want the show to revolve around Starfleet - he feels like he's done that.

    I had high expectations for the finale with the 'Fleet' of Federation ships commanded by Riker. But it had the opposite effect on me. The ships were horrible. The design was way off and felt much more CGI than any other Trek movies/series I had seen. It really looked like a 'fan production'. It was plain horrible, even the uniforms didn't seem to fit properly. It was a major let down. I don't understand their obsession with lenses effects, over the top shininess with overexposed space elements. Whatever happened to those static 'clear' shots of the ships just going through space that made us all fall in love with the ships in the movies and series? Drop the CGI and go back to models, they looked better.

    The Riker & Troi episode was great. Almost makes me wish the series revolved around them.

    Seven of Nine was a complete miss, they took the actress and substracted absolutely everything that made the original character interesting and different. That mix of arrogance, strength, and vulnerability. Went from a cold, rational, emotionless 'Spock and data-like character' to a complete gung-ho. I don't even remember how they killed her off, or did they? - If so it was probably quickly and unmemorable.

    The bar for series is really higher in this day and age, they are the chosen medium to develop slow, complex, and intelligent stories (ex: The Expense) - I'm sorry to say neither Picard or Discovery cuts it in my opinion.

    What they needed to do was take Ronald D. Moore and Ira Steven Behr and tell them: Go and do it however you want.

    I recommend everyone to go and watch the movie: What we left behind: looking back at deep space nine. Prepared in 2018 by Ira Steven Behr with digitally remastered scenes from DS9. He sits with Ronald D. Moore and they both come up with the first episode of the rebooted DS9 using the same methodology they used to back in the days. What they come up with is amazing and the premise alone gets you hooked.

    Please just put Alex Kurtzman out the airlock.

    Unless I've forgotten what happened, they didn't kill her off. Seven is alive and appears to be starting a relationship with Raffi. No?

    @Dark it's very possible. I don't recall honestly. Which says a lot. All I recall were my impressions at the time.
