No one, literally no one, is going back and fondly remembering watching Picard. No one. Same with Discovery.
The music from this show, is wasted. It’s great. The inner-light flute in the intro is a slap in the face to anyone who thought we were getting a love-letter to the character of Jean Luc Picard. I wish the music had been released and not the show.
I loved season 3, as the 10-hour long TNG send off movie. I’ll probably never rewatch the other two seasons. Even though the cast was fantastic (love me some Rios)- they were wasted.
It had roughly the same structure as any Muppet movie (we gotta get the whole gang together for one last show!) Say what you will about the Muppets (and by that I mean: choose your words carefully) but God damn it’s a formula that works.
It’s certainly the last time we’ll see that crew together. Never in a million years could I comprehend they’d put them on the bridge of the Enterprise D.
Did it have the philosophical explorations that I loved from the series? No. Did I need it to be? No. Where my boys at, how they been? Did thier bonds stand the test of time?
Rios had so much potential, and instead stays in the past hanging out with Guinan, changing the future DRASTICALLY and dies in a bar fight… over medical supplies. While smoking a cigar.
Holy shit, that’s some fucked up writing from a 12 year old.
You can literally just start Season 3 clean, it feels like a totally different show. The only thing you might need to know is who Raffi is, and a small scene with Picard talking about his body. IIRC, season 2 is only referenced once, and it’s a bit of a retcon. Enjoy.
The hate this show got, was totally deserved.

Also loved S3.

It needed at least two courtroom episodes tho

Even more fucked up than Rios and the black flag directive?
Damn, this means I do have to go back and finish it after all. I stopped watching during season 2 somewhere.

Season 2 was so bad I burst out laughing multiple times during moments that were supposed to be serious.
The writing was so contrived and the backstories so tediously explainy it reminded me of fanfic I would write in middle school.
EDIT: And omg the whole Inception arc about his childhood abuse (but it wasn’t abuse, actually?!) was such a slog…
It reads like middle schooler fanfic whose only exposure to Star Trek is MemoryAlpha
The Inner Shite more like.
I do, my wife does, a couple Trekkie buddies at work do.
All you whining, terminally online dweebs need to learn to speak for yourselves.
You’re making a lot of assumptions about me, for having an opinion that is different from your own.
If you can name Soji’s sister without looking it up, I’ll believe you.
