Star Trek: Picard

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.

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!

I watched season 3 over 2 days, I paused the episode if i was distracted by my wife. I rewound the episode if I missed something (I'm as old as Picard, give me a break). Loved that all of the next generation (NG) characters were involved and had grown into their roles and brought with them their own back stories of who they had grown to be since NG.

Loved 7 of 9 (Anneka), I'm more in love with her now rather than in lust with her while with Voyager (that's a compliment, I think/hope) and with her new love interest could create another series. Reicher is more relaxed in his role and Worf blew me away with his wit and style, (I want a beard like his). Jordie surprised me with his big blue eyes, I thought the script was weak when he showed a yellow streak. Bring back Scotty!

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 30 years of torturing with some half-baked experiments the real Star Trek emerged! No-one, literally no-one is able to replace iconic Picard and his crew. Finally, in the third season they've gathered all of them (including Seven of Nine from Janeway's ship) in an big adventure across galaxies. Fine story and same old feeling of sense and wisdom which was adorned in 90s show are here again, including magical music and blue "star trek" fonts (ending credits of the 3rd season). That and those crew is legandary and timeless. Hope they will continue in these star trek for many more episodes.
