He has seen the entire season 3 times.
So yes, ignore his opinions, but I think anything he says info wise can be taken as truth.

OT: I'm in Florida. I've long had a bone to pick with CSI: Miami over this issue.
It's obvious that none of the production people have ever lived here.
Note to Jerry Bruckheimer: Florida does not have mountain lions. Florida does not have MOUNTAINS (and Space Mountain at Disney World doesn't count
).What Florida DOES have is the critically endangered Florida panther (there's little over 230 left in the wild).
Conference room builder: Choose your favorite Enterprises, just not all of them please.
Picard: I want the Probert-C, not the real one!
They have panthers. And there's very small differences.
My quick Wikipedia search says there's Cougars in Florida.
So I guess it's just an error of using the wrong term for the region.
Genetically, that may be true.
All I ask is that they use the appropriate terminology (only someone who doesn't live in Florida would call a Florida panther a mountain lion).
It just grated on me. It's as if the writer was screaming, "I'M FROM L.A.!"
Then there was the episode where Jeff Corwin plucked a human foot out of a crocodile's stomach using a piece of PVC pipe!
(Sure, guys ... tell a police officer to put their hand down a hungry crocodile's throat. Do crocodiles have gag reflexes?)
Well, the DSC Klingon design has been retconned out of existence in favour of the TMP/TNG look. See exhibit A (Worf in PIC S3) and exhibit B (some Klingon who will appear in S2 of SNW -- a picture was floating around a while back).
I agree. His opinion is irrelevant. The information he has is what matters.
He's seen the season multiple times. He's also pretty prominent in the opposition fan community online, and is trying to get other YouTube influencers to give Picard a fresh shot. Star Trek videos from a certain Scottish novelist gain hundreds of thousands of views. Red Letter Media in the millions. If word of mouth spreads, the season could be very successful not just creatively but in the ratings.
And RMB isn't the only person present to see the whole season. Popcast, which hated Picard season 2 but liked SNW season 1, saw it a few months ago and are starting the hashtag terrytrek campaign. If I remember correctly, they even have Terry Matalas Star Trek merch!
I have a near photographic memory, and have visited more than 50 countries. I essentially can't watch any television procedural that jumps international setting episode to episode without getting knocked out of the narrative unless they get the location shooting down <G>. I can never visit Vancouver again without it risking ruining Stargate, Fringe, and The X-Files. And since I lived in Los Angeles for several years, I can tell when even things set in Los Angeles are filmed in the wrong neighborhood.OT: I'm in Florida.

Florida Panthers are a thing down here. (We have an NHL hockey team NAMED after them!
)
I mean, if I'm unfamiliar with an animal I'll call it what I was raised with. I grew up in LA, and heard the term "panther" before "cougar/mountain lion" when moving to Idaho. So, I called them brown panthers. Sometimes I get terms wrong. I expect TV writers to get them wrong nowGenetically, that may be true.

I used to be more irritated by stuff. My profession routinely gets portrayed wrong in shows. Psychiatric diagnoses are used incorrectly, and improper terminology happens a lot. I shrug now.
Mike Stoklassa got one and a half episodes into Strange New Worlds because it's had some elements adapted to a modern TV audience, the idea of the friendships, "more human" elements and quips. He dislikes the lack of the thoughtful, evolved human portrayal, and even joked about launching a twitter campaign of #makestartrekboringagain.
Their Picard Season 1 Recap in which every thumbnail slowly has more and more phaser beams coming out of himself and Rich Evans really does slowly become torturous to watch as they're so not into it and want it to end, but as professionals they've started it so will finish.
They aint tuning in to watch it or signal boost it in any way.
They also did Star Trek: Galaxy as a show pitch which sounded brilliant in the video they do and you can hear their passion in comparison despite knowing full well it'll never be picked up.
For those who didn't see the video: The main story development hook would be an older admiral in charge of a group of Plucky Cadets to rescue an elderly Glaxay Class ship which is lost in a distant part of the galaxy.
Which doesn't remind me one iota of any other current show airing on the Trek Universe at the moment.
They also did Season 2, so I wonder if they'll bite their tongue and do Season 3 as well.
Genetically, that may be true.

When I moved from Oregon to California I was shocked to find out that prairie dogs are a type of squirrel, ones that live in...the ground?! I don't even think I've ever seen a ground squirrel in Oregon (I only ever saw grey and brown tree squirrels), but the term prairie dog is common for us because we all learn about the Oregon trail...FOR YEARS, in school. It was like that for me at least.
I'm pretty sure I'd get laughed at if I called a ground squirrel a prairie dog here.
Ok, I brought up canon and SNW etc and somehow managed to make that loop back into the thread. So, I hope that earned me the allowance for a super OT reply...
Imagine the largest dog you've ever seen. Then imagine seeing... something... that's 2-3 times the size of that. And that it kinda looks like a like a squirrel or a guinea pig. You've never known something like that would exist, but you see it right over there. You ask what the hell that is, oh it's a capybara (link to wikipedia)!
My sister in law called them "dog weasels" one time. It works.
Similar experience, though I haven't had the privilege of seeing a capybara in real life. However, my high school was right across the street from a farm and they had giant birds. But, they looked like a really messed up ostrich until I looked it up and found out it was an Emu. Being a life long Australiaphile I was quite excited.
Sure looks like the Army of the 12 Monkeys boarding the Titan-A...
