Star Trek: Picard

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 one and especially two have been pretty disappointing, but season 3 is completely different. Especially with episode 4. This is now the first proper Star Trek sine Voyager ended in 2001. I'm thankful that someone approved the script for season 3. Yes it has its flaws, but damn it this is real Star Trek - something I've sorely missed. Jonathan Frakes shows how good he is as a director again. Several scenes reminded me of First Contact.

I sincerely hope that season 3 is successful enough that we will get more Star Trek like it. This is very corny, but I really feel the world is a better place with Star Trek - as long as they stick to a positive and optimistic message!

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.

I watched season 3 over 2 days, I paused the episode if i was distracted by my wife. I rewound the episode if I missed something (I'm as old as Picard, give me a break). Loved that all of the next generation (NG) characters were involved and had grown into their roles and brought with them their own back stories of who they had grown to be since NG.

Loved 7 of 9 (Anneka), I'm more in love with her now rather than in lust with her while with Voyager (that's a compliment, I think/hope) and with her new love interest could create another series. Reicher is more relaxed in his role and Worf blew me away with his wit and style, (I want a beard like his). Jordie surprised me with his big blue eyes, I thought the script was weak when he showed a yellow streak. Bring back Scotty!

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.
