I only watched the first episode so far. I swear to god, if they don't bring Data's daughter back to life, I'm going to commit warcrimes.

is this still true even with s3? My friend has been trying to talk me into Picard for ages and they said s3 was good Star Trek.

@lwaxana_katana @StrangeWorrier
S03 is up there with the best of Trek. I liked 01 & 02 also, but that's me. They're hard to recommend. I absolutely recommend 03, and the other two seasons aren't prerequisites.

[–] SnowWomble@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I agree, I also enjoyed S1&2 - each to their own really but S3 was by far the best.

Hrmmm interesting, ty!

I'm someone who hated season 1. Season 3 is worth the watch and feels like a great coda to TNG. It's almost like an extended reimagining of "All Good Things" which also ties up a few loose ends from the movies and dedicates more time to showing how the characters have grown as people and, in some cases, parents.

There are some moments where it feels like Discovery or prior Picard, but not enough to weigh down the show.

Maybe I'm just a simple man, but season 1 was just kind of ok, season 2 I'm still not sure what happened, but season 3 really hit the spot for me.

[–] coolcrowe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah this is how I feel. If you go in without expectations it's pretty enjoyable, I liked it for what it was.

[–] struds@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

It's solid. It's a lot better than s1 or s2, and a better than any season of discovery. It's not as good as Strange New Worlds or Prodigy.

[–] porthos@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, S3 is like a big long TNG movie and it is awesome

[–] DoctorWheeze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's a hell of a lot better than the first two seasons, but that's not a super high bar. Season 2 is probably the worst, most baffling season of television I've ever watched. Season 3 at least mostly made sense and was reasonably entertaining most of the way through.

[–] KelsonV@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Depends, did you like TNG the show, or TNG the movies? If you liked the movies, you'll probably like Picard S3.

[–] StrangeWorrier@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Eventually is turns into Picard again and has some inexplicable decisions and bad ideas.
