I love star trek and wanted to like this for so much.
I followed it for a few seasons when everyone of my friends and forums were already criticizing it. But then it got to be too much and even I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Such a pitty but this is not the trek I came to love. I hope they have success but I really can’t stand the writing and am out off by some acting I won’t name.
@Nadalofsoccer They wasted Jason Isaacs. I was fascinated by his character and if his arc as a Terran secretly manipulating the spore drive project to get back home had lasted seasons, maybe even to the point of redemption and wanting to stay…I would still be watching. They could even have still let Michael be a Mary Sue. Maybe even have her find out at some point.
It (will have) lasted four seasons without him. I liked his character and wish they hadn’t killed him off, but five seasons is a decent run for a show, and I don’t think it’s obvious that it would have lasted longer if he had remained.
Did it? Can I skip whatever the bad Seasons were and have it still make sense. Picard was always my favorite captain so I was super bummed when I heard the show was super jaded / gritty / bad.
Season 3 is mostly the TNG crew with some others from earlier Picard seasons. It stands alone well enough. The plot is maybe a 6.5/10, but the fan service and nostalgia is 10/10, and it is a perfect goodbye to the TNG crew.
The new producer took over for season 2. Season 3 is clearly what he imagined 30 years after All Good Things to be like, undoing Generations, and in season 2 he focused on changing the parts of Picard’s character that were too major to stuff into season 3.
I believe Season 1&2 had more good than bad, even with the obscene Klingons, but after that I strongly dislike it, and that’s from someone who liked Enterprise the first time I saw it.
The one thing I wish they’d do is go back and refilm the Klingon scenes for future viewers.
For me, it became too much with the identity crisis that actor had, such a not so subtle metaphor it felt like force feeding, and I just couldn’t buy the acting of too many of the cast (I loved some of them too) Even s03 was kind of ok, I liked having more trek. It’s unfortunate that it became a meaning to sell other stuff. I was there to buy equality, moral highgroung, positive outlook of the future and profesionalism.
I thought we’d get a reverse Breaking Bad like arch for the main character to evolve into the future captain, instead they worked hard to make them not suitable so they could have the person who was captain just say at the end of the season, ‘youre the true captain’ with no justification or attempt to mak sense.

I’m just happy Picard finally found it’s groove.

To me, there is no bad Star Trek.

That would’ve been nice, and such a good idea… Now fix SNW, I liked lower decks but now feels weird
