It gets worse

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

It gets worse

Yes it does.
I cheated and couldn't resist one episode per day ..... I had to watch the whole train wreck, it's like nothing that happened in the past 2 seasons mattered, where was the friendly Borg faction? Oh and THAT final scene.......

Spoiler

Q not dead just bad fan fiction

Maybe with better lighting the train wouldn't have wrecked

What really cheese me off is that none of the seasons ties properly into the other..... Events of last season are just ignored. Yeah the lighting really blows, it's really terrible.

The least of season 3's sins.

Sadly, like with Season 1 to 2, the connections are only loosely tied together.

I'm going to guess a bunch of stuff you don't like.

We agree about Discovery as much as we disagree about Picard, so no worries. It happens.

Yes well I happen to love Discovery Picard not so much

The Crushers worked for Mariposas (the organization Rios and Teresa founded in S2).

Events of previous seasons were inconvenient for the fanbait that S3 was built around. That's about all there is to it, I'm afraid.

I thought the first half of S3 was very solid, but the cracks appeared pretty fast after that.

It's the kind of party you enjoy when you're there... but on reflection, not much happened and it was kind of dull.

Apparently Matalas wanted Picard season 3 to be it's own show, called The Last Generation. It ignores loads of 1 and 2. I'm surprised they didn't somehow undo Picard being a synth. Stuff like Data coming back again and nobody mentioning that he's got a whole damn village of synths created in his image feels particularly insulting.

Data hands everyone a Season One boxed set offscreen.

Oh hell at this rate he could of have done that on screen and no one would care.

He could literally have called them "historical records"

To be fair, Matalas did make clear in interviews after the S2 finale aired that S3 would not cover the Jurati Borg or what lay beyond the transwarp conduit or anything like that.

It ignores loads of 1 and 2.

Even worse, what S3 does acknowledge from the first two seasons, it usually finds a way to look down on them. Like Shaw scoffing about "that weird shit on the Stargazer" or Riker and Deanna going on about how much they actually hate their home on Nepenthe.

They ignored S1 and S2 because they were a disaster of storytelling, were very boring and did nothing for the characters. I'm glad we got Season 3 with a solid story with a consistent theme and characters that we are familiar with rather than characters we aren't (including Picard).

I mean, even if one likes Season 1 (I do) that doesn't mean the characters have to.

And Shaw is a self-described ass so his opinion is one that I put little stock in as he is a very poor character to take seriously.

But, I do miss Elnor, Juranti, and Rios for sure. Season 3 expected me to be onboard for familiar characters that were not as engaging as those ones were. Raffi and Worf being the only exceptions.
