PIC S1 was pretty good, IMHO. Especially on the front end (Remembrance, Nepenthe, Impossible Box, etc.).
Picard Season 1 is pretty hard to rate, because it's a mishmash of different subplots. The main thrust of the show is the synths and the search for "Data." But then you have the underbaked XB plot, the Romulan refugee backstory which doesn't go much of anywhere after Episode 4, etc. So you'll have flashes of utter, utter brilliance, cut back and forth with whatever the hell Elnor was doing with Seven and Hugh on the Artifact. And the uncreative Mass Effect ripoff threat. Which makes it a ...
Pics for 103 are up now at TrekCore. It's been a pretty decent run so far but...
Look at all the cute glowy bullseyes on everyone's armor. Just what I would want to have pinpointing my precise from three directions (and probably one on the back, too) in a darkly-lit tactical situation.
Did DSC and SNW do that? I honestly can't remember...

Remember- they're costumes in a show designed to entertain; not a depiction of the real world.

You want all costume details/designs clearly visble to the audience as fans will wan't to buy replicas of those pins/badges.

That's obviously laser tag gear for training purposes and not the sort of thing they would wear into real combat.Pics for 103 are up now at TrekCore. It's been a pretty decent run so far but...

Same problem. We train how we fight.

I think you're in the wrong thread. This is the review thread not a preview thread lol
No such thread yet. If further discussion is warranted, I'll move it over.
There is, it's pinned at the top.
Understood
I think the ratings are often based on the initial episodes.
I did not like any of S1 or S2, but I can see why some critics would be soft on the first few episodes.
To boldly keep the Youtube comments section open..
Im in Canada so the free for all YouTube drop is/was geoblocked. Some are reporting the premiere received less than 2k live viewers? Im guessing there's missing context or that's an inaccurate or wrong number by the hate channels. Can anyone confirm what the numbers actuality were?

i couldn't watch it on youtube either (Australia). I'm sure the geoblocking is something the hate channels didn't take into account.
My P+ app here says its number 4 on the streaming charts in Aus.
I've been scouring the internet to find reliable numbers, but can't find anything yet

You're probably not going to. They only are a necessity to Paramount.
BBC with an incredibly accurate review -
Scott says "some parts of it work while some parts really don’t work.”
“It is just pretty dry. The main characters very much have a sort of big sob story attached to them that you sort of have a sense of inevitability that it’s all going to end up being OK.”
“It doesn’t really feel particularly special in regards to the plot or the overall feel. It just kind of feels like a normal offshoot of any sci-fi series like this.”
Hayley agrees saying she "felt no desire to watch what I was watching. It was just basic Star Trek to me and not in the kind of fun Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner way.”
“The show itself, I thought, was a weird mixture of performances that lean into the theatrical silliness of it and then these other ones that are entirely dead on their feet.”
“I think I’m going to probably be watching it, but skipping to Paul Giamatti’s bits.”
Hayley and Scott say this one is not a Must Watch

“It feels very much like Harry Potter’s sort of wizard school, but of course as a Trekkie, set in space.”

You know I thought discovery was the lowest point in trek and we were on a bounce again with SNW, Prodigy, Lower Decks...then this car crash comes along
“Accurate”? Genuinely sounds like they didn’t even really bother watching it. “A wizard school in space” … set on planet Earth for two out of three times. I mean, yeah, Earth is in space, I guess.
Who?
