Cunk on time
You new to Star Trek or something?For starters...if the 2020s were altered that drastically from the original timeline, Picard, Seven and all the others shouldn't even exist in this new timeline. It was very Akiva Goldsman-esque writing. Assumed the audience wasn't very bright, and wouldn't care how thin the 'logic' of the narrative is.
So people who enjoyed earlier seasons of Picard aren’t “very bright”. Good to know the tedious gatekeeping continues unabated.It was very Akiva Goldsman-esque writing. Assumed the audience wasn't very bright, and wouldn't care how thin the 'logic' of the narrative is.
I thought Season 2 descended into complete stupidity by Episode 2, with all the Confederation nonsense.
I could buy that as perhaps a fantasy world created by Q to teach Picard a lesson, but they wrote it as an actual alternate timeline.

They did. They told me at their private meetings.Also, same complain could be said about the TOS and DS9 mirror episodes. I guess Gene Roddenberry (TOS), Ira, Ron Moore, and the DS9 staff also assumed the audience wasn't bright?
I mean, Worf did acknowledge the Romulans onboard the Valdore in Nemesis were honorable. But even putting that aside, this new Zen-warrior-philosopher Worf definitely would not automatically take issue with Elnor because of what species he is.Worf would have issues that Elnor is a Romulan,

I think Season 1 was just...alright. It never quite "felt" right, a lot of the new characters and villains fell flat, Picard didn't quite feel right either and then it shit the bed in the last two episodes. From my perspective, we're at a point now we're at the very very least we've gotten a fantastic "mini-movie" from the first four episodes and a picking up an abandoned plot point from TNG with a great send off for said character. I thought at the time that the writers of season 1 were hamstrung by the higher ups and this season seemingly having Matalas with a lot of freedom to make a TNG reunion backs that up.Season one was great until a very flat ending. Discovery season one was great until an awful ending.
They can still fuck this up real bad. They have the time and talent to do so.
I mean none of the people working on Season 3 worked on Discovery Season One or Picard Season One.They have the time and talent to do so.
But you are totally cool with the Mirror Universe, right?I thought Season 2 descended into complete stupidity by Episode 2, with all the Confederation nonsense.

I would've preferred to see Elnor teamed with Worf to be honest. They're both warriors, but their characters are so different. Worf is the seasoned, mature veteran while Elnor's relatively new. Worf would have issues that Elnor is a Romulan, a race he hates, but also have to admit that Elnor himself is an honorable man.
Jack Crusher is in some ways a redo of Soji. If I knew what they were going to do to Crusher what they did to Crusher, I'd have preferred Laris to star in this season to be honest, and the MacGuffin the changelings are after could just have been Soji again.
Rios and the Stargazer could take Shaw's and the Titan's place and not much would be different honestly.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, the stuff S3 is doing right could easily have been done with the original Picard characters. The TNG characters themselves aren't what's making this season better, but unfortunately that may be the message that CBS is getting right now.
I said earlier in this thread that this question should have been asked 5 weeks after the question was originally asked. Now that it's been 5 weeks I guess it's fair to respond. Season 3 has been great, and I look forward to seeing how it ends. Unfortunately, the "righting the ship" feels more like too little too late.
I feel like a story like this could have been told with Jurati and Rios and Soji and Elnor. My original idea for the show back in Season 1 was more of Picard not only getting over his grief for Data, but finally being able to put past his experience of being assimilated by the Borg, and becoming Locutus the Messiah of the Ex Borg. That was why I was upset when they killed of Hugh. They had a story there with Hugh and Picard and they squandered it.
