Synergy! It’s what got me to force Miles to finally watch and rank the pilot episode of Picard! We recorded this episode before watching the first episode of Picard season three, so we’ve picked the other two episodes based on guessing what’s going to happen thanks to the trailer. That means we’re covering the first appearance of Lore and of Evil Hologram Moriarty!
Timecodes:
00:00:00 Opening
00:14:21 TNG – Datalore
00:45:50 TNG – Elementary, Dear Data
00:58:46 Miles enters ‘Sherlock Holmes pedant mode’
01:11:55 PIC – Remembrance
Talking points include: Dune (specifically the 1984 classic film version), Vampire Survivors, Treebeard, James Herbert, Elden Ring, Doki-Doki Literature Club, Portal 2, Adric in Dr Who, Robby the Robot style droids in Star Trek, Dr Hank Philip McCoy and his many war crimes, Data is an AI artist, Miles gets to be a big nerd about Sherlock Holmes, getting erased Reboot-style, Professor X’s ability to get over pretty much anything, prestige television fatigue, Logan, the works of Michael Chabon, Alias, Eternal Law. Oh, and occasionally we talk about Star Trek.
(Also: Miles is on the Breakfast In The Ruins podcast talking about some Marenghi-ish horror! He also wrote a review of Picard season three, episode one. Oh, and that Tor article Miles mentioned.)
