Spoilers Is Picard season 2 a failure?

True.... There is that.

Also on the whole Q thing. yeah I can picture their next meeting

"Oh Jean Luc, I got BETTER" in that tone

 

Yes, I guess better writers could have made this an overall better story, agreed!

 

I don’t think knowing why was important

 

Yes but at least to have some kind of explanation beyond "I'm dying" when we know full well Q is capable of lying and does that often.

 

..."It seems I caught some form of virus humanity had recently struggled with. Nasty little bugger... but no match for the Q!" <wink and wry smile>

 

Short answer: It is. Greater failure than season 1.

 

Shorter answer: that's an opinion not fact.

 

I'm only 5 episodes in, and it certainly doesn't look like a failure to me.

Then again, the punchline of Bob Newhart's "infinite number of monkeys" bit doesn't show the monkey's failure until the very last word: "To be or not to be, that is the gezornenblatt."

 

Give it another episode or two. It took me several to realize what a loser Season 2 was. And as much as I didn't like the first season, I rate the second even lower because it started off so well and held such promise.

 

I always scroll the comments. Some snarky people there.

 

Was really necessarily to write this? Ofc it's opinion. This whole topic is about forumers to write their opinions about season 2 and give an answer was it a failure or not.

 

And, you know, Q are supposed to be immortal.

Any other race? No. A Q? Yes.

Of course they did not have an explanation, so we did not get one. The while thing was a conceptual plot point to tug on heart strings that went unexplained (or they did not even care enough to try and explain). Typical NuTrek.

And it is not like this stuff did not happen in earlier iterations. But I just think it hapoens more often (fewer episodes), and is even more jarring when it is the crux of a serialized plot line.

 

Except when killed by another Q.

 

Which wasn't the case here. Q just said he's dying or something, he probably is lying.

Now on that ending.
If a sizeable portion of the Borg now want to join the Federation are they members in the future?

 

He was scared. I believe he was dying, but let's say he was lying? Why?

Was the season a failure? That premiere felt like a film. Cinematic from first frame to last. After that, it just fell off a cliff.

 

I don't know in all of TNG and Voy we never saw or heard of a Q dying of natural old age, only another Q can kill a Q that's what the show tells us.

 

I did not get the sense that Q "dying" was some natural part of their life cycle. I got the sense that there was some kind of attack or externally-induced decay.

 

What can kill a god?

 

We see borg children part of a classroom in a LDS far future scene.
