Although that movie also recast Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, and fans have generally responded positively to him. So much so that he's getting his own Disney+ series or movie, depending which rumor is circulating this week.
Picard film in development

I think Discovery suffered from every season being structured as a season-long arc where the survival of everything was at stake.
I think the more episodic way that Strange New Worlds treats things would have benefitted Discovery.
Though I do prefer SNW's approach to a season, there is also room for season long story arcs. The problem with how Disco and Picard handled them is that not every seasonal arc needs to be about the galactic apocalypse.
I can see that. Discovery, oddly the one that seems to be the least favourite of the fans, seems to be the one that had the smallest connection (I'd say less than a crutch) through Burnham being raised by Sarek, but other than that, has definitely moved past it.
The others really can't as it's baked into the DNA of their respective shows, but agreed, it's definitely there.
I can that PIC seemed rather meandering. And, in the end, there's a lot of things that seemed like they were going to be a thing (or a bigger thing) but never really amounted to something (like Elnor) That being said I stopped watching pretty quickly and mostly know about the later stuff from friends who are into Trek or from here.
With me, though, it's more that a lot about the show just rubs me the wrong way. I don't like it. This isn't my preferred kind of Star Trek. This isn't my preferred feeling and flavour for a show.
But wasn't that already a impossibility for many towards the end of the Berman Era at least? I mean...ENT...large parts of Voyager, and wasn't DS9 pretty controversial at the time? What I will agree is that Berman Trek largely seems to be the same product (sometimes to a fault), just varying in quality. New Trek is more varied.
And as a result, it takes on the sins of Berman-era Trek (It veers from the profound to the ludicrous. Musical episode? Seriously?)
Second best episode of the series.
Arguably the 2nd best episode of an amazing season.
Glad they did it.
(Amusingly, Moore was fighting for a musical episode even back in the Berman days as well).
Agreed overall, but they still managed it. Robin Hood adventure, a Klingon in a western, most Ferengi episodes of DS9, Bride of Chaotica... they were there, just seemed farther spread out.
Yes. And it's not close to being like Berman Trek.
The musical episode was one of the best episodes of not just SNW, but all of Kurtzman-era Star Trek.
Fair enough. But there's just something about SNW that makes it feel more TOS'ish.
I would watch one of those episodes and think, "Shouldn't they be WORKING?"
Do you work non-stop every single day of the week without a break?
I'm sorry if so. But the fact you had time to watch an episode of Star Trek implies at LEAST a 45 minute break at some point in your week.
Didn't he order the Titan's new name to be changed from Picard to Enterprise ?
Ships aren't normally named for living officers.
It's something akin to watching the cast of Law & Order play racquetball for an entire episode (once, twice ... three times or more every season
).How many "holodeck gone haywire" episodes has Trek had over the years? It's a distraction. It's lazy writing. It's not why people tune in every week. It ignores the entire premise of the show.

Starfleet is a fictional organization whose decisions are made at the whim of the writers of the show. If the writers want to name a ship after Picard, they would do so.
