I really think PIC would've been better if season 3 came first, get all the fan service done early, and then do stuff on its own to distinguish it.
I mean there was no way that these guys wouldn't want to reprise their characters together, and of course everyone liked that part.
I feel like everyone was hearing rumors of them getting mostly all back together and no one knew when it was gonna happen, so the first 2 seasons got overshadowed by the anticipation and then finally got paid off at the end of the show, but the show never had its own chance to shine.
I am glad they finally did show the group back together, and if you enjoyed TNG and didn't shed a few tears when the D came out of Geordi's secret garage, then are you even human? But I still feel like the anticipation of that one part made waiting over 2 and a half seasons unbearable. If it did that first, and then told its own story, I think it would have had more of an impact.
All that said, seeing Voyager at the museum and Seven's reaction to its presence was nice for me, as that was my first show. Seeing Seven finally become her own person was really nice as well.
I still demand a scene on some show somewhere where Captain Seven (or is it Captain Of Nine?) meets back up to have Janeway see her in her new role. I will lose my mind. Janeway would be so proud of her. 🥲
@wheeldawg @joe DIS had really bad scripts which appear to have been forced after a certain pattern. For DIS its clear that certain topics had to be extremely present. It never felt smooth or pleasant to watch the episodes (at least for me). I always felt being forced to notice these certain topics at any cost. For PIC its more subtle. The first two seasons could have been condensed to max 4 episodes. It appeared like the authors had no ideas & tried to stretch the story as much as possible.
