Did they do test audience viewings before the premiere? This happens all the time in order to do last-minute course corrections.
How could they see audience reactions before the show even aired?
Season 3 finished filming the same month Season 2 started airing.
By the time the episodes are ready to view, Season 3 would still be mostly finished.Did they do test audience viewings before the premiere? This happens all the time in order to do last-minute course corrections.
You've seen the entire season?I found the season's style a bit frantic for my tastes. It reminds me of J.J. Abrams' style in his Star Trek films. And I wasn't a fan.
Hilarious...
I don't think anything of the sort. Nor do I find this something funny at all. So, I'll just agree to disagree and move on since this is not a serious conversation any more.

But there's no evidence they had test screenings for Season 2.
Could always ask Terry on twitter.Film producers are coy about test audience reaction etc....it would not be different with tv im sure...

I know the director for the new Indiana Jones film outright said there's been no test screenings after rumours came out about screenings.
Indeed. It seems Matlas had his idea, and Stewart was in agreement so it got made.By the time the episodes are ready to view, Season 3 would still be mostly finished.

To whom? Where is the humor in this? This strikes me as laughing at a car accident.So yeah it's funny.
PIC Season 2 looks like it was designed to write out most of the original cast. If PIC Season 3 was a reaction to Season 2, then those characters wouldn't have been written out at the end of S2, they'd be written out at the beginning of S3.
Rios falling in love with Teresa is integral to most of the season. Jurati merging with the Borg Queen is pivotal for the vast majority of the season. Elnor has virtually nothing to do for the most of the season, except be dead. Soji was written out and Kore is just a place-holder for her so Isa Briones could still be part of the season. The wrote these characters out because they knew they weren't coming back for Season 3.
The entire last seven to eight episodes are geared towards writing these characters out. These weren't things were inserted after the fact. They're too integral and too embedded into the overall story flow. They don't look tacked on. If the they were tacked on, it would be easy to tell.
"But maybe they didn't like the first two or three episodes!" No. That's bullshit. The first two episodes were generally better-received than the rest of the season.
If you pay attention to Season 2 -- I can't take for granted that the people complaining actually did -- it's clear that they didn't change things due to reactions. They knew they wanted Season 3 to be a Big TNG Reunion. That's why they paved the way for it by getting rid of most of the original cast.
Raffi is the most Picard-esque character of PIC and they kept her around.
We don't really know. Yup, so we speculate based upon our biases.
Klingons shaving their heads and having different houses makes them way more interesting than TNG ever did with them.
Good. They're aliens, who experienced an augment virus. They should not look identical, any more than humans should all look identical.The klingons looked entirely different.
