Star Trek: Picard

Season 1 was okay not bad but not great. Had its moments mainly involving... Don't want to spoil it.. Season 2 was a direct sequel to 1 in story but went horribly wrong and for the first time ever I just couldn't be bothered to watch the last episode, it was that bad. I even managed to finish season 4 of Discovery, that's how die hard a trekkie I am lol.

But season 3 is just genius and classic star trek from the start.

Episodes 3 and 4 especially blow me away.

Being Jonathan Frakes back as a director and actor just bring that magic the show was missing.

The story, the cast, the sets, music, effects, acting, humour, it has it all just down to perfection.

Watch them all of you are a die hard fan only, or just watch seaaon 3, you'll pick things up.

If they can keep this up for the rest of the season I will be a very happy trekkie.

Live long and prosper my friends.

After fun but uneven seasons one and two - during which I was glad to see Q - Star Trek: Picard really takes off when it gets the gang back together for season three. Their chemistry is what make it all work back in the day, and it really pays off now to see them all together again.

Fantastic supporting cast in Michelle Hurd and Burton the Younger et al, and of course some well-earned cameos from familiar faces. Some viewers will gripe about a nostalgia-grab - but who cares: I'm just grateful to see my ol' pals back on the bridge doing what they do best.

I've lopped off a star each for seasons one and two, which were all up just a tad disconnected and humourless, but season three is Trek to the core: fun, well-scripted, slightly ridiculous and very good-hearted. Glad it's here.

I can't believe I'm writing this review after the crap they gave us for the first two seasons. But season 3 of Picard is outstanding. Whoever took over for this season is a true fan and knows what they are doing.

Why oh why could we not have had this for the first two seasons. Season 3 is everything I would want: well written, great character development, good pacing and action, adequate amounts of fan service without going overboard- it's fun and great.

The standouts to me are the interactions between Picard and Riker. It's great to see that chemistry once again. Worf is the best he's ever been. Beverly is fantastic as well- especially the scenes between her and Picard.

I have to say, so far, the performances of the TNG cast is the best I've seen from them. They really put in their all.

The only thing that saddens me is that there are no plans to keep going after Season 3. I would totally stick around for more seasons of this. I hope they change their mind.

The first season has been mediocre. I didn´t expect much and had limited fun. The 2nd season was just so terrible that I refuse to write about it.

But in the 3rd season they finally got the twist and deliver what all fans of Star Trek and especially TNG have been waiting for! This finally feels like Star Trek after decades of boredom and stupidity. We finally meet again with all the great characters that we all missed. Even characters like Rafi who has been a real pain in the *ss in the 1st and 2nd season developes nicely and isn´t so overacted as before. It really feels like in times of Rick Berman and Michael Piller. Thanks!

This show is completely forgettable. Does not have any fiber of good writing in it. Probably they thought that if they threw in Picard and some old-time star trek names/images, then it would work. It doesn't. You have to force yourself to watch it, and only if you are a Star Trek fan. It is quite a drag. After watching a few episodes, I still don't know what they were doing exactly. Some artificial characters, Picard who is very old and frail, some action that nowadays is lame, and some ships (these are nice). That's it. No big ideas, no atmosphere, no strong new stuff. Quite disappointing.. I guess the 7.4 rating on imdb is from ST fans nostalgic for Next Generation episodes.
