Is it just me, or did the personality of Captain Jean-Luc Picard change quite a bit? I'm not saying that he was Captain Bligh at the beginning of the series, but he seems to have become a recognizably different person.
>>220045292Everyone seemed to change between season 1 & 2 compared to the rest of the series. Only Jordie stayed consistent.
>>220045380No, Geordie was your fresh 90s black friend a couple times in S1
He’s certainly more idealistic and spirited in the earlier seasons. He went through some pretty horrible shit including getting assimilated, that takes a toll.Also the show started in the 80s, actors still treated TV like stage acting and hamming it up a bit was the norm.
>>220045380>>220045431Was just about every character more lewd during Season 1? What made The Next Generation people change that?
>>220045380Geordi went from helmsman to chief engineer in between 1&2
>>220045492Gene Roddenberry was a huge pervo. For as much as people shit on S1 and 2 for their cartoonishness, I think the aesthetics and production values were far better
>>220045560If it were up to me.Geordi wouldn't be on the Enterprise at all.Because he's blind.
>>220045560I always avoided the first season because everyone told me it was awful. Watched a bunch of it recently and I was really confused seeing Geordie in a red uniform flying the ship. I know promotions exist but it's a totally different area, a consultant psychiatrist doesn't get promoted to head of hepatology.
>>220045833They never say anything about him getting promoted. He's just down on the engine room with a new rank and everyone acts like he's always been there.
>>220045935>>220045833It’s not really unbelievable. Wesley did both too
>>220045978Wesley's promotions and duties were announced though. Geordi was just suddenly a lt commander. I guess it took the writers until season 2 to figure out that having the blind guy fly the ship was kinda stupid.
>>220045292>>220024487
Dismissed, cadet.
>>220045292 Patrick Stewart just started changing Picard into himself and made the character worse and worse
>>220045292Just the new Picard series is what's wrong. I can accept the movies things.
