Yeah, well if he doesn't get all of them back; since he WAS involved with Season 2 <--- The writing will be more like S2.
And let's be honest, aside from the character beats; the rest of the writing WRT the main plot itself was nonsensical and nothing special.
(And even IF they got them all together yet again; I don't think a second visit to that particular Well will generate the same excitement with the casual TNG fan. Hell, they might be turned off a bit.)
Indeed. The appeal of the season was all in the casting and later design work. The story was the same as other newer Trek series. It just rang more familiar bells.
Thank you. Yes to all of this.
I don't think it had a lot of time to sink in since the Borg just popped in at the end, but S3 was a mile wide and an inch deep with all the retreads, down to the score for heaven's sake.
The writing was no better than S2, and S1 was Shakespeare by comparison.
However, WRT to the WGA strike, S3 is probably the closest thing to AI-generated algorithmic trek we've had since certain episodes of Voyager.
Maybe this is the future of Trek after all.

I do hope that's a real thing...
It’s from Team America. It’s lead by Alec Baldwin.
Film Actors Guild was abbreviated as "FAG", a homophobic slur, and why a lot of 80s/90s/early 00s edgy humour is ageing like milk now.

The acronym of Film Actors Guild is a slang word.
Yeah, "fag" is a bit less loaded in the UK, just a slang term for cigarette, and doesn't mean "faggot", a snarl word for homosexual men in N. America (presemuably alluding to them getting burned at the stake). But we're kinda drifting off topic and getting uncomfortable here?
Anyway I think Corporate America (which puppet Adam Baldwin ranted about) are the real villains here in the current strike (alongside the alien cockroach inhabiting the corpse of Kim Jong Il) and their greed, their hubris, is to blame for this.

And we're supposed to believe that someone who has been on the internet for as long as you apparently have (which is at least since October 2017 based on your profile) is unaware of the other meaning that word has in other parts of the world?

When she says "The F-- word," she's talking about the slur in question here.
Homophobic slurs aside, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (God rot their souls) were basically not vindicated by their demonization of the Screen Actors Guild (aside from being how very sanctimonious and hypocritical the richer celebrities can often be) and America's foreign policy at the time instigated under the GOP has been a geopolitical catastrophe comparable to 60s/70s Vietnam and Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
And the WGA and SAG are obvious good guys now in light of the serious gaffe or mask slip of the studios' corporate management wanting to ruin and dehouse all of their manditory employees in an apparent fit of rage and megalomania.
