Will you settle for my review?

Where's the continuation of the Picard review? I'm was recently watching the Major Grin comedy edits and there seems to be some insane stuff happening in the latest episodes.

Patreon update regarding that:

Hello Friends. This is Mike. Wait. No, this is Rich Evans. I have been editing a very epic BOTW episode over the past week. It's finally done and hopefully should be posted soon. I have not had a chance to watch episodes 6,7, or 8 of Picard and have been avoiding spoilers. Now, that this edit is done I will probably watch those and begin work on the next Picard video. That or smash my fingers in a car door over and over again. One or the other. Stay tuned!

Patreon update regarding that:

That explains it, for some reason I thought a new review would be released every second episode.

Will you settle for my review?

By all means, go ahead.

The new Picard review is here:


Wil Wheaton is a terrible shill. How can one be an actor for a living and do such an unconvincing job?

I've rewatched this and I'm not sure if Mike's reaction at the end is appropriate. I understand that bad new entries in franchise can sour the old ones (example, and since this is a gaming site: I was and am a big sucker for Sonic games, but the series of bad games around Sonic 06 made me almost drop it)
I often read that the woke crowd and """creators""" enjoy taking a dump on dear, old franchises. Looking at what was done to a lot of said franchises there seems to a lot of truth in that.

Now having Mike from RLM, one of the key guys in shaping today's youtube and review culture, publicly weep about losing interest in a franchise might be just what these people enjoy.

Also amazed they didn't bring this up - Picard ripped off Highlander 2!

I'm VERY surprised they didn't bring up with Wesley Crusher scene.

The final RLM review episode was odd. I somehow managed to put the plot together in their reviews of the first series, but had to consult other sources to figure out what seasons 2 was about. I enjoyed them fooling around because I like the guys. Had this been any other channel, I would have turned it off immediately though.

I think that's part of the point - Picard is such a shitshow that there is not much to say about the show. It's stupid and shallow and boring when it isn't blaspheming old Trek.

And speaking of that, at least we got "secular blasphemy" out of it.

Their review of Obi-Wan Kenobi from episodes 1 through 4 is up.

It's kind of crazy how much meta discussion there is on entertainment media.

When did deep thoughts regarding mainstream garbage media become so in demand? Probably when we started filling the holes in our souls with corporate media.

This stuff used to exist for a singular purpose - to give you a sense of the quality of a thing, briefly, solely for you to be able to decide if it was something you wanted to spend your time with. You didn't care about the critic's deeper analysis of anything. "Should I see it or not" was the essence of the media review. Growing up, the entire field to me seemed to consist of quick newspaper reviews of things, Siskel & Ebert, and budding game reviews in magazines.

Now, there is so much fart huffing going on. We have shows with celebs talking about a show that literally just concluded. You have lifetimes of content available now, things like watching people watch things, watching people react to popular things, watching people talk about what they felt about a thing, etc.

Like that Mauler guy did over 9 hours on The Force Awakens.

I think it's just because movies have replaced fiction novels in society. No one called it fart huffing when people analyze Steinbeck.

Yeah, but there was 1000 times more depth and intellectual and philosophical complexity in classic literature than in mass-produced entertainment products. Which is why the latter is so popular while the former has become so niche.
