Reply to comment by mikevago in Comparison of Star Trek Series by IMBD Ratings [OC] by insaneplane

I’m glad you’re enjoying it (most people seem to be!). I don’t totally agree on S3 but 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I like Patrick Stewart, I like the TNG cast, but Picard has been easily the worst new series for me, possibly the worst overall if it weren’t for TAS lol.

I agree the first two seasons were a huge waste of Patrick Stewart's talents. But they really righted the ship with the third and he has some terrific acting moments. (And Frakes really shines as both an actor and director)

For me it's the plotting (I haven't watched today's episode) -

  • Picard has a secret child that he never knew about, with his best friend, who also has special john wick powers
  • Bringing back the Dominion is great, except these are like, renegade super changelings that behave totally differently to the Founders we've already met. Also they've infiltrated the highest levels of the Federation, just like S1 Zhat Vash.
  • Hinging last week's episode on Ro Laren. It's great seeing Michelle Forbes again, but there's a lot of presumed emotional resonance for a character we haven't seen in 30 years.

It feels like *Nemesis-*level plotting.
