The magnetic containment unit experienced core meltdown, and the feedback is smoking. With the madness of this season it's no surprise your feedback covers the gamut from bad borg face effects to the nonsensical character arc closures. What do we want in season three? A full cast reunion sharing a scene together. We don't want Patrick Stewart to catch covid, but when else are we going to have the chance to see this?  Hailing frequencies are going dark. We'll see you next season. If this is your jam, check out our other episodes in Bald Move Pulp! Hey there!

Set phasers to mildly entertained. There were a few good moments sprinkled amongst the madness. Q and Picard's relationship comes to a somewhat satisfying end with Picard now unshackled from his past decisions. The road getting here was rough, but was it worth the journey? And A.Ron has been cured of Jurati syndrome. Thank you for all the sympathy cards.  Picard Season 3 episode by episode coverage is TBD. Who's looking forward to the reunion next season?  Integrity of the magnetic containment unit is deteriorating. Power crystals might last for one final episode.

“Don't make me defend this show.” A.Ron five times during this episode.  We're glad to see that elements of this show speak to some people. But when it's not speaking to us, it's confusing us. Don't miss Picard: The Lost Episode, a dramatic reading from A.Ron of a fan spec script that explains this madness. Before you get too giddy about the next Star Trek shows, it's the same creative team from Picard behind the other shows.   Integrity of the magnetic containment unit is deteriorating.

A.Ron is showing strong signs of Jurati-syndrome. And Picard is showing strong signs of “jumping the shark” syndrome. With the Borg rampage continuing and more battles being introduced into the show, Jim and A.Ron have a couple of useful suggestions. Who else wants to see these guys direct an episode of Picard? Though the show is a shadow of itself, we see a glimmer of hope for season three with the exciting cast announcement. But until then, we don't have high hopes for how season two will end.  The subspace frequencies are open and the containment bottle efficiency has been increased by 66%, send in your feedback to picard@baldmove.com.

“Highly illogical.”–Spock. OG Spock said it right.  Fans of Old Trek admired the show for its unique personality, but now Star Trek and all of its spinoffs have gone the way of the blockbuster. With uninspired action set pieces, unnecessary character trauma, and nonsensical behavior of Star Fleet Officers, we're really missing Classic Trek. The intellectual heritage got blown away by the lens flares. Let's explore the universe, not have another silly battle.  The subspace frequencies are open and the containment bottle efficiency has been increased by 33%, send in your feedback to picard@baldmove.com.  Hey there!

If we're going to enjoy Picard this late into the season, we need to stop thinking about it. Join us as we attempt to answer the pressing questions such as “Is Soji programmed to be stupid?” Seven takes it to an eleven and Jurati is sipping battery juice in an episode that goes off the rails.  Send in your feedback to picard@baldmove.com.

There's so much feedback, the crystals that sealed the Magnetic Containment Bottle have burnt out. We were offered an explanation on why Borg-Jurati sings that Pat Benatar song, but do we accept it? And please Paramount, put subtitles on the screeners.  Set your frequencies to picard@baldmove.com and send in that feedback.  Hey there!

In this episode of Picard, Patrick Stewart does some of the best acting of the show accompanied by some of the worst scenes of the show. Ogres and onions aren't the only things that have layers anymore, join us as we try to track a couple different plot lines through multiple layers of nonsense. It'll have you asking important questions such as, is Q a sociopath or party animal? Is Borg-Jurati getting a high off of smashing windows? If you love Star Trek, maybe this isn't the episode for you, but if you like absurd comedy, this is right up your alley. Maybe there's too much snakeleaf going around.  Feedback will be in a different episode so we can properly address it. And we're wrapping up this season soon, so you better send it in at picard@baldmove.com.  Hey there!

Your feedback has been held in the Magnetic Containment Bottle on the Starship Bald Move and Captains A.Ron and Jim and are cracking it open to read what you have to say.

Okay, okay, the liquid in the vial is blue! A.Ron concedes. And acknowledges he might be colorblind. Do you want to emit EMPs from your cells and then put on a cover concert of 20th century rock and roll? Yes? Well, then you may want to look into getting borg-ified like Agnes Jurati. Join Jim and A.Ron as they tackle an episode that ranges from impromptu concerts to the aftermath of domestic abuse, a topic very personal to Patrick Stewart's own childhood.  Send feedback and tell us your thoughts, theories, or references we missed at picard@baldmove.com.  Hey there! Check out https://support.baldmove.com/ to find out how you can gain access to ALL of our premium content, as well as ad-free versions of the podcasts, for just $5 a month!

There are things that we like, and there are things that are weird. Join us as we discuss the benefits of Old Trek being an episodic show and the challenges Picard faces because it is serialized. Picard provides impetus for plenty of fun and wild theories for the futures of these characters and this episode is no exception. Ponder the pressing questions with us, such as “How does the ship keep up with the biometrics of the crew?” And help us figure out what color the vile is. Is it blue or green? It's the dress all over again (iykyk). Send feedback and tell us your thoughts, theories, or references we missed at picard@baldmove.com.
