The best possible outcome!
Crusher-Picard, over and done with. Please don't shoehorn these together. It didn't happen over 30 years, it's not happening now.
Go Team Laris
I thought about watching this morning at work but instead I came here to just read about it and get spoiled that way. Also to look at screencaps. From what I've read, it doesn't impress me. They've done Jean-Luc dirty in nutrek. I care enough to read spoilers but not put in the actual time watching it. Maybe I'll get around to it one day. I just HATE having to wait a week between episodes. What's the point in having a streaming service when it functions like old fashioned tv?
Imagine having to pump-action an energy rifle before every shot.
People love a hero. (And a villain, but enough about Berman.) The idea that Matalas has come in to save us from mediocre Trek excites a lot of people...even though his hand has been lightly on the rudder for some of the most mediocre Trek in recent years.
Lots of the best Trek has been around lately too, so no real need for this. They're critical successes, and hugely popular. Just keep things steady Matalas. You're trying too hard.
Gotta keep the monthly subscribers in it for as long as possible.
Somehow I got a feeling that this is not the real William Riker. "Deanna and Kestra will appreciate the time away from me" reminded me of what Thomas Riker said to O'Brian in the DS9 episode "Defiant" in order to keep him away.
And the way he told the story about Crash LaForge felt like it's sole purpose was to show off his knowledge, so nobody would ever think he wasn't William Riker. There were parts in the trailer where I had serious doubts that this was the real Riker, so maybe it's Thomas Riker? Or even a Changeling?
And did anyone else catch the lilie about "Enterprise F - slated for early decommission"? It's being shown at the same moment as the Voyager B.

I know. It's stupid.
Sure why not? Bring back everyone who has ever been in TNG. This will be the equivalent of the Seinfeld finale.
Riker asked why Beverly cut everyone off, not Picard.
I think my favorite thing about the episode is that it quashed my fear that they would completely mishandle Laris' character. We knew she was back for, supposedly, just one scene. That has me highly suspecting she'll meet an unfortunate end. What I dreaded was that she'd have 30 seconds of screentime saying she's leaving, or we'd just see her for equally as long wherever she is before she's killed.
Instead, we got all her smarts, played to perfection per usual by the wonderful Orla Brady. It'll be grand if reports were faulty, and there is more Laris to come, but at the same time... I'm satisfied.

Other than Netflix all the other streaming services do the same. I hate the wait as well, but I do like discussing them after each episode. I also find that I don't remember shows I binge as much as the ones I watch week to week. Having that time off allows me to absorb them. I watch a lot of streaming shows and they are all week to week so maybe I'm just used to it.
How do you think Picard was done dirty in the season 3 premiere from what you've read?
I love the level of excitement...but I feel totally left out LOL!
I always watch these shows with my wife around 9pm EST on the day they premier, so it's like old-school TV watching. So, I'll be way behind and the show literally just dropped a few hours ago!
I said they've done Jean-Luc dirty in nutrek. I mean, it's pretty obvious if you watched the last two seasons.
Ah ok. I also re-watched all the treks except TOS , during the pandemic ending with Enterprise last year.
Just to get myself in the TNG mood I watched Elementary, My Dear Data and Ship in a Bottle yesterday for obvious reasons..lol ...will probably watch the Lore episodes soon as well.
OH, I must have misheard.
So i assume did not learn their lesson from Nemesis by allowing the actors too much control, and not that i am dumping on Nemesis, i mean that movie is now on Citizen Kane level compared to the mess the franchise has been in since its reboot in 2009. lol
Trying too hard. Trying please all fans. This is Icarus in the making.
I don't see any of that.
Same here.
