The Final Drop Of Sour Mead – The Final Episodes Of PICARD

So I just finished watching the last couple episodes of Picard; the final drop of sour mead from the field of memberberries that have everyone declaring this to be the bestest and greatestest season of the series… which I am inclined to agree with. If only because I actually enjoyed this season more than the first two seasons and therefore, that’s all it really takes to be the best season in a series that is preceded with one promising season that fell off the rails and another season that is so incomprehensibly awful that just giving it any semblance of attention is more than it probably deserves.
I thought about giving this thing one last big ol’ recap to sort of bring things home. I thought about diving deep into some of the plot issues and contrivinces that left me baffled. I thought about diving into talking about that one moment that brought back that warm fuzzy feeling that I had not felt with this franchise in a long time and then watch that moment fall apart in a hail of phaser fire and video game shooter schlock.

Dismemberberries

Yesterday, I watched the MMPR: Once And Always special on Netflix and in a few moments, I’m going to be taking in the final drop of sour mead, otherwise known as Star Trek: Picard. For what it’s worth, yes, I’ll be writing on both pieces, though you’ll have to wait a while before those get posted.

There’s a term that the kids like to toss around the interwebs – memberberries. This has origins in the South Park show, referring to a fruit that, when consumed, will evoke feelings of nostalgia, remembering things from happier, more innocent times. This is apparently the slang used for any show that uses nostalgia and whathaveyou to prop up its worth.

It’s safe to say that there’s going to be a healthy helping of that… but I can’t help but feel that what’s actually being served is a bowl of dismemberberries. You eat the thing, you’re minded of nostalgic things that made you happy, and then you wonder how long it’ll be before it gets FUBARed.

Anyway, we’ll see if that happens to be the case.

Cody Pulled A Luger (Wallpaper And House Show Announcement)

So we’re gonna do a thing in a couple weeks. I don’t know what we’re gonna do, but we’re gonna do it. Have an AI Paint generated wallpaper to get you excited for the big day and then bitch about how that guy looks nothing like Cody, but he has the neck tattoo so it’s gotta be him!

I have not watched one bit of wrestling since Wrestlemania. Nor have I followed the news. The moratorium continues…
