Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)
5/10
Season 3 tries, but falls short
7 January 2024
I haven't seen the first 2 seasons, only 5-6 episodes of the third. At first I had a few moments of cheering and joy and nostalgia as classic characters like Worf and Riker were introduced. But the whole thing is very self centered, and in stead of being classic Star Trek, it's more nostalgia and looking back. What's worse is that the characters have changed. Picard is suddenly unsure, Worf is doing meditation, Jordi is more concerned about protecting his daughter in stead of doing what's right, which was especially annoying, since it's cheap story telling and a nostalgic mess where they make changes that does not fit into classic Star Trek story telling and then we're supposed to clap our hands when Jordi finally comes around.

There are emotional moments, but I feel they are drawn out and self centered and in between moments of lots of action.

I haven't even mentioned captain Liam Shaw, totally unbelievable and I'm not sure about the motivation for portraying him the way they do.

My preference is Star Trek driven by deep exploration of space, the human condition and tickling of my sense of wonder.
