I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happened.
And you will not see me complaining. SNW is the best Trek of recent times.
I'd still say Orville hits the mark closer, in many ways. SNW follows some of TOS' style, but it still doesn't always quite have that Gene Roddenberry feel to the characters. Orville does this better while its style is more like TNG - which perhaps isn't surprising given how much Seth MacFarlane has worked with Patrick Stewart in recent years.
Frankly I want more seasaons of both.
Picard season 3 was pretty great too. I skipped season 2 as I hated season 1. Apparently season 3 just ignores the events of 2 completely because it was that bad.
It was shit wasn't it, I heard season 2 was worse. I wanted to like it so much. What changed to make season 3 good? I'd love that to be true.
I don't want to set your expectations too high, because it's far from perfect, but I thought Picard S3 was basically the good TNG movie that we never received. It was great to see so many of the TNG crew back on screen, and probably for the last time together since they're all in their 70s. The story was mostly good and there were some real high points.
A 10 hour movie 🙄
So annoying the way all these shows are just stretched out into series when they can and should be a movie. And vice versa too, movies are all 3+ hours now I feel like, even friggin Indiana Jones was 2.5 hours, if you got that much to say just make it a miniseries or something jeez.
Now if you'll excuse me I got some clouds to yell at.
I will definitely watch it then, thanks.
SNW went completely off the rails and became a CW science fiction show. It is not Star Trek and is so cringe worthy, it's painful to watch.
Every other episode is amazing then cringe, it keeps things light.
