TOS is more of a great cultural artifact than a "good" TV show.

The movies hold up, at least 2, 3, 4, and 6.

Over correcting from how badly S2 ended

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.

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.

Fair enough. I like the last season and wish there was another, it felt like it was really on the upswing. Shran as a regular? Yes please.

The xindi arc had its moments but overall just a worse Dominion.

My most recent rewatch takeaway was that T’Pol really carried the first seasons despite the insistence on her eye candy. Then the writers screw up her character and side line her at the end.

Eh, it has some good parts particularly in the last season, but it's deservedly bottom tier with Picard and Voyager (and maybe TOS....)

A little apples to oranges to compare pre- and post- Disco since the format is changed.

DSC - SNW is 194 episodes and only 125 live action. That’s comparable to Enterprise by itself.

Is something like a grub then technically all meat?

I loathe driving, avoid it whenever I can. Didn't buy my first car until I was 30 and really only because we were having a kid.
