And you will not see me complaining. SNW is the best Trek of recent times.
I'd still say Orville hits the mark closer, in many ways. SNW follows some of TOS' style, but it still doesn't always quite have that Gene Roddenberry feel to the characters. Orville does this better while its style is more like TNG - which perhaps isn't surprising given how much Seth MacFarlane has worked with Patrick Stewart in recent years.
Frankly I want more seasaons of both.
Picard season 3 was pretty great too. I skipped season 2 as I hated season 1. Apparently season 3 just ignores the events of 2 completely because it was that bad.
It was shit wasn't it, I heard season 2 was worse. I wanted to like it so much. What changed to make season 3 good? I'd love that to be true.
I don't want to set your expectations too high, because it's far from perfect, but I thought Picard S3 was basically the good TNG movie that we never received. It was great to see so many of the TNG crew back on screen, and probably for the last time together since they're all in their 70s. The story was mostly good and there were some real high points.
I will definitely watch it then, thanks.
A 10 hour movie 🙄
So annoying the way all these shows are just stretched out into series when they can and should be a movie. And vice versa too, movies are all 3+ hours now I feel like, even friggin Indiana Jones was 2.5 hours, if you got that much to say just make it a miniseries or something jeez.
Now if you'll excuse me I got some clouds to yell at.
I never laughed so much in a Star Trek episode as I did at last Thursday's episode. That was absolutely not expected lol.
I still haven't watched it. I think I might be done with Trek. There's just been too much damage in the last decade with those godawful jj abrams movies, discovery, picard, blech. It's clear to me the franchise has moved in a different direction and we'll always have tng and ds9, but I just can't follow it anymore.
SNW went completely off the rails and became a CW science fiction show. It is not Star Trek and is so cringe worthy, it's painful to watch.
Every other episode is amazing then cringe, it keeps things light.
I haven't seen any of season 2 yet, and while I agree that a few of the episodes in the first season are a bit off-target on the science fiction aspects, I think they are overall quite a bit better than the first season of TNG. I'm more than willing to give it, say, 40-60 episodes to really find itself and get into the meat of the story they want to tell with it.
