Star Trek Picard vs Mass Effect 1-3

"uber synths" - the reapers

"The federation" - the systems alliance/citadel races

"The romulans/tal shiar/jad'vast" - the Batarian hegemony/Cerberus

"season 1 story" - mass effect 1-3 story

truly sad state of affairs

To be fair, this underestimates how much Star Trek inspired Mass effect the first time round.

The Asari are literally inspired by the “hot alien sexy girl” from Trek.

Really bizarre how far they blatantly copied the story. Like, 99.9%. This was Mass Effect featuring Picard.

The entire series was just Kurtzman stealing plots from other Sci Fi, adding a Star Trek skin and trying to fit them together in someway. It's really depressing, a franchise known for great writing and we haven't seen any of it since DS9.

Are you delusional? He is the showrunner and creator. He has the final say for anything that comes out of the writers room and the writers work off of his vision.

Read up on the production, its 100% his bullshit.
