Production Quality Of Picard

totally agree. The uniforms were good the bridge design was a mess and actually looked less advanced then the discovery bridge of 150 years before. If kurtzman and crew would have designed the discovery bridges closer to the tos era in the first place we wouldn’t have this problem. Again they have a window view screen with the same neon highlights that go with the alert status color. Also rikers chair is the discovery chair. Lol

They weren't going to make a new bridge for the one minute of screen time Riker had, at the end of the final episode of the season. The fact that it was a redress of the Discovery bridge was no big deal. Just like how TNG did not build a new bridge for any ship that wasn't the main ship, and instead used different lighting and set changes to suggest a different bridge, just like they did here. Sorry, try again.

Or to go back to the movies, the Reliant bridge was just a redress of the Enterprise bridge. That's how set design goes. Why build if you can reuse?
 
I can’t believe they reused a bridge from not only a different Star Trek production, but one that was set a century in the past, and they expected us to just go with it.

We’re talking about the battle bridge in “Encounter at Farpoint” right? Or is it the bridges of both the Nebula class USS Prometheus and the later one from Voyager? Or maybe it’s the Equinox...
 
Wow, whining about reused sets. Have people ever watched Star Trek?
What I have come to learn and what has occurred over the past decade, but is coming in to sharp focus now more than ever is that people don't want Star Trek. They want Star Trek based upon their notions of what makes Star Trek Star Trek. It's like a preconceived box, with parameters that must be checked off or else it is tossed in to the bin. Sadly, there is little room within it to allow for any change or any change is automatically held in suspicion of violating that Star Trek box.

They used the Discovery bridge set. I don't understand how it could have looked less advanced than itself.

I assumed Pubert was referring to the bridge of the La Sirena. I'm not sure it looks less advanced than the Disco bridge - how much can you tell just by appearance?

No, he was referring to the bridge of Riker’s ship.

It not about what we perceive it to be its about the rules of the world that was built. Berman and co did a fairly decent job with the TNG era treks. They honored what came before. They weren’t perfect but much closer then what we get in kurtzman trek.
 
Star Trek Picard and Star Trek Discovery will never be relaunches of Star Trek The Next Generation and Star Trek The Original Series.
