Star Trek: Picard

I have to start by saying I wasn't the biggest Star Trek fan growing up. I wasn't born when the original came out and was like 7 when The Next Generation was on. I would watch episodes of both here and there but I don't remember much at all about those shows. Then JJ Abrams rebooted the franchise in 2010 and I became a huge fan. I really enjoyed all 3 of those movies starring Chris Pine as Kirk. I know some didn't because they compared them to the shows but I didn't. I just enjoyed them as a first time Star Trek viewer. The first series I watched was Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and liked that too. I finally gave Picard a chance recently and liked it so much that I blew through all 3 seasons. So, now I consider myself a Star Trek fan. If you're a fan of Star Trek or starting out like me you should watch this because you'll like it either way.

The first season has been mediocre. I didn´t expect much and had limited fun. The 2nd season was just so terrible that I refuse to write about it.

But in the 3rd season they finally got the twist and deliver what all fans of Star Trek and especially TNG have been waiting for! This finally feels like Star Trek after decades of boredom and stupidity. We finally meet again with all the great characters that we all missed. Even characters like Rafi who has been a real pain in the *ss in the 1st and 2nd season developes nicely and isn´t so overacted as before. It really feels like in times of Rick Berman and Michael Piller. Thanks!

Season 1 was okay not bad but not great. Had its moments mainly involving... Don't want to spoil it.. Season 2 was a direct sequel to 1 in story but went horribly wrong and for the first time ever I just couldn't be bothered to watch the last episode, it was that bad. I even managed to finish season 4 of Discovery, that's how die hard a trekkie I am lol.

But season 3 is just genius and classic star trek from the start.

Episodes 3 and 4 especially blow me away.

Being Jonathan Frakes back as a director and actor just bring that magic the show was missing.

The story, the cast, the sets, music, effects, acting, humour, it has it all just down to perfection.

Watch them all of you are a die hard fan only, or just watch seaaon 3, you'll pick things up.

If they can keep this up for the rest of the season I will be a very happy trekkie.

Live long and prosper my friends.

Star Trek: Picard was much better than I expected. Of all the characters throughout the Star Trek franchise, Picard would definitely be on the Mount Rushmore of most beloved characters so Trekkers were worried about ruining the legacy of the character. I know some people didn't enjoy the first 2 seasons that much, most did but some did not. Almost everyone liked the third season because of the nostalgia of all The Next Generation characters reunited. I actually really liked all three seasons. Patrick Stewart doesn't miss a beat as an aging Picard and the show has a lot of solid supporting characters to make the show that much better. Definitely would recommend to any Trekkers out there or just sci-fi fans in general.

I can't believe I'm writing this review after the crap they gave us for the first two seasons. But season 3 of Picard is outstanding. Whoever took over for this season is a true fan and knows what they are doing.

Why oh why could we not have had this for the first two seasons. Season 3 is everything I would want: well written, great character development, good pacing and action, adequate amounts of fan service without going overboard- it's fun and great.

The standouts to me are the interactions between Picard and Riker. It's great to see that chemistry once again. Worf is the best he's ever been. Beverly is fantastic as well- especially the scenes between her and Picard.

I have to say, so far, the performances of the TNG cast is the best I've seen from them. They really put in their all.

The only thing that saddens me is that there are no plans to keep going after Season 3. I would totally stick around for more seasons of this. I hope they change their mind.
