Shives is unimpressed by LD being a "reference" show that just throws jokes at you but loves or likes some of the humor. He genuinely dislikes PIC Season 2.

He's said he hasn't gotten screeners. I suspect it's because he's just not that big a channel.

He does like Prodigy. Except Kobayashi, which he feels has to many callbacks to legacy characters. Same reason he doesn't like Lower Decks.
It is interesting to see all the different reviews. Overall, the reception seems rather positive though the season is obviously not going to be perfect.

I'm changing my re-watch plans before PIC Season 3. Instead of finishing re-watching PIC S2, I'm re-watching all six TOS Movies and then rolling right into PIC Season 3.
That's the Ultimate Test. Going from TUC to GEN always feels jarring. If going from TUC to PIC S3 doesn't, it did its job.

I did wonder if Vadic was really Jil Orra, but then remembered that was Gul Madred's daughter, and not Macet's.
To be fair: Patrick Stewart is 82. And I think he's in season 3...
If anything, because it's starting to turn out that many people are still watching over the air channels, and sticking with some sort of cable like package; I would think they would try to get each series to 100 episodes so that down the line they can still sell syndication packages to some media outlets in various markets.
I mean they are still making money off of selling TOS in syndication; that series is going on 60 years old, not to mention it's been nearly 20 years since TOS Remastered.
So yeah I'd be surprised if they're not still trying to play the long game with anything Star Trek related.
An Instagram log video similar to the Janeway ones for Prodigy has been posted, about the history of the Starships Titan.

Savvik was the captain of the original Titan and it became the flagship. And the Titan-A does contain internal components of Riker’s ship, hence the “refit” term banded about.
Canon? No idea.
EDIT: actually there’s loads of them! For ships and characters. The Enterprise one states the Enterprise-E’s final mission was classified, and the Enterprise-F is about to be decommissioned (launched 2386).

That seems like a really bad explanation. Either make it a new ship, or keep the old one.
It uses parts from the Titan not all of it
Since this thread ended up being the home of the written reviews, some quotes from a straggler CBR one:
"Some of the drama between these reuniting characters comes off as a bit contrived, particularly between Picard and Riker. Fortunately, these moments do not dominate the first half of the season. Whenever the narrative focus isn't on the returning characters, the story drags, but as plot threads converge while the season progresses, this becomes less of an issue. Where Picard Season 3 does excel in its pacing is ending each of its episodes on a genuinely intriguing cliffhanger that is sure to get fans talking as they eagerly wait each week for the subsequent chapter in its overarching story."
"Compared to some of its other science fiction counterparts, Star Trek has never been particularly known for its action set pieces, but there is a heightened sense of spectacle here compared to the preceding two seasons. This is a season with a tent pole blockbuster budget, from its visual effects to its production design and cinematography, giving the proceedings an appropriately cinematic sheen. The season's score, composed by Stephen Barton with Frederik Wiedmann, provides the show with a plethora of musical callbacks to the franchise's history that elevates the scenes and feels like a collection of sonic easter eggs."
"While Star Trek: Picard struggled to find its voice and direction to take its fan-favorite protagonist in its previous two seasons, the show fully clicks into place right out the gate with its season-long send-off. As intense as Picard has gotten while remembering to take the time to breathe and check in on its main characters, Season 3 lives up to the hype. The highest compliment to the final season is that it's so good that it makes sitting through the more tedious moments in the first two seasons worth it."
