Best and Worst of Star Trek: Picard

[FlyingWave]

i'm about to finish season 1

for me the worst: the blonde girl and raffi. i hate both of them. the blonde girl is too much of a cry baby. raffi is a despicable character. constantly talking down and insulting picard and shes a junkie to add to that. but overall i dont think the show is THAT bad. i just think its mid. but i wouldnt say its as bad as lets say star trek discovery.

i mean for a show claiming to be expensive and have bunch of modern CGI all over, they sure dont like to show us important key scenes that they constantly mention. like the attack on mars. when ds9 does that and they do this sort of thing alot (mentioning stuff and never showing it to us) you know its because the lack of budget. here, there isnt any problem with the budget

Which blonde girl are you referring to? Agnes or Seven?

That was featured in Star Trek: Short Treks S2E10 "Children of Mars."

I suspect that they mean Jurati. I can't imagine anyone would describe Seven as a cry baby.

Best: While I agree it ended up being too nostalgia heavy, and I don't think the ending was terribly good, season 3 was far and away the best season. The Changeling infiltration had a level of existential dread that DS9 never really approached (although sadly they somewhat dropped the idea by the end of the season). Season 1 had some interesting ideas as well, but never quite pulled it together, and ended up making just odd decisions

Worst: The lack of a cohesive narrative is probably the worst one. This should've been a show about a retired Picard looking back on his life, but it seems like they wanted to do anything except explore the life of a 80+ year old man, throwing him into complex action plots and schemes. They left a weird blotch on the canon as well, between not exploring Picard's death and turning androids into the very thing TNG warned against. I also really can't stand Raffi. An interesting character on paper, exploring how a character with modern vices would exist in a post-scarcity world, but she never took responsibility for anything she did, and was insufferable

yes her. and as it is right now they are gonna forgive her for what she did. and i really dont like it

Loved Laris, Liked the pirated Klingon warbird battle, a bit unnerved at how Picard was treated sometimes

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Laris was great and should have been Picard's love interest right till the end

 

[korblborp]

at the very least, she shouldn't have just completely disappeared

 

[Turtletrekker]

I had absolute zero investment in the relationship with Laris. It was contrived just to give Picard a motivation.

in season 3 episode 5 there is a fire on the federation ship, makes no sense whatsoever. fire cant exist in the vaccum of space because it needs oxygen and they should have not made this mistake. they shouldent in the old trek but especielly now not do this fatal mistake.

The only good thing about the whole show were the field jackets in Season 3.

Considerably less contrived than Jack, or much of the rest of S3. I'd prefer sticking with the show's own established contrivance than casting it aside for even more obvious ones.

 

[Oddish]

We find that Picard and Beverly got together and things went penguin-level south between them. They did it in "All Good Things". Would've been nice if they could've done something different here.

 

[gweeps]

One of the best was Laris, and one of the worst was just abandoning her after the first 10 minutes of Season 3. They should've at least had her show up or be mentioned near the end of the show. Terrible.

You're asking a show that has replicators and transporters to be scientifically accurate?

If you're talking about season 1, I agree. I would have happily enjoyed three seasons based on the season 1 characters and status quo, especially Soji and Elnor. The relationship with Laris, which came in season 2, felt entirely contrived and did nothing for me. Season 3 isn't even entering the chat for me on this one.

Sound can't exist in a vacuum either, yet we hear the ships going pew pew and woosh all the time

there is a difference between something you know does not make sense and something that could be explained existing with future technology.
