Re: PIC S1: Stardust City Rag

"Let's just hope that an old humiliated white guy assembles a team to save the United Federation of States. Is Al Gore still alive??!"
I really agree with you on this criticism of the show. I have enough investment in Picard that I enjoy him as the lead, but I would have opted for a well-written original character who's not an old White guy. It's problematic to suggest that the problems of a failing democracy can be addressed by a little squad having adventures, doubly so a little squad following our father figure from the 80s.
Will this show motivate questioning and action? Or will it only be wish fulfillment?
Oh, and it looks like about 100% of us dislike the gore. I looked away from the screen entirely as soon as it started, which may affect how I then reacted to the entire episode.
