No. Please, no.

The Picard show was already dreadfully bad and has effectively destroyed TNG and Q for me, please let the dead body rest on piece, no more.

Did you watch Season 3 of Picard?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's dreadful. Just gathering up the old cast for nostalgia sake. Quite an anticlimactic resolution to the enemy fight too.

That's fair. I enjoyed it, but I can see why you wouldn't. Hopefully we can agree at least 3 was better than 1 & 2.

In my opinion the first Picard season is the best. It actually tries something different; a new crew and ship and rules.

Season 2 is in that patronizing and lecturing tone that feels extra misplaced for anyone outside the United States.

Season 3 is complete creative sellout and I hate it. It was sort of nice to see them all again, but that’s pretty much it. Nostalgia bait everywhere, with a weird hamfisted plot. Barely a single original idea in that series, just a theme park ride to check all the boxes… look at the old crew on the bridge! Even data is back after we just let him die in season 1! Look at the E N T E R P R I S E, and we are fighting the borg PLUS the changelings!

I agree with you. I actually enjoyed the freshness of season 1.

Oh man, I'd repressed the memory that Q was in s2 of Picard! I kind of liked the first season but the follow-ups were nostalgia dumpster fires. Literally what Sir PatStew said he didn't want to make going into the show.
