Star Trek: Picard (Paramount+)

[carrrnuttt]

Question, can I skip the crap that is seasons 1 and 2 and just move to season 3 (what SHOULD HAVE BEEN)? I know all of the TNG and the movies.

You'll miss the intros of some of the newer characters that are still around this season, and the first meeting between Seven of Nine and Jean-Luc, but so far, it doesn't seem like this season ties in a lot to the past seasons.

Good start. The Picard/Riker stuff was gold.

"Nice recovery, Admiral."

Well you could. I enjoyed the first two seasons and there are some carry over characters. However, this season truly feels like the focus will be on TNG crew so not critical IMO.

Bunk beds..........freaking hilarious.

Watch Red Letter Media's reviews instead. You'll get everything you need out of them and watching Rich and Mike melting down over it is more entertaining than the show.

Loving this season so far. It's early, but this might be the most engaged I've been with ST in a long time.

 

[Covert Rain]

Loving this season. For some reason, it just feels like "home" with all the characters.

I’m trying to decide if I should subscribe to paramount now or wait until the entire season is released so I can binge.

If you haven't seen any of the earlier seasons, you might be able to time it so you're caught up by the time the last episode of this season airs. I wish I had the patience to wait until they were all uploaded, but I don't. Ah well.

I don't know how dedicated you are, but you might even be able to fit your Picard binge all inside the one month preview period.

Just a note that if you happen to have TMobile for your phone that you can get a free year through them.

I’ve seen the previous seasons. I tend to wait until they all come out so I can subscribe just for a month and then cancel. This season I’m pretty excited for so it’s making it hard to wait.

Understood.

I think there are 10 episodes this season and the last airs April 20th. That means a late March sub would get you through this season inside 30 days or however they calculate the cutoff.

This season is absolutely blowing my mind. Some of the best Trek I have ever seen through 4 episodes. Wow.

 

[NoelPHX]

Ive done something I haven't done with any other 2008+ Trek and that is actually want to watch the episodes again. While its still not the Trek I enjoyed many years ago, its the closest I will probably get.

 

[Town Drunk]

Couldn’t wait to binge it so I started episode one. Fantastic. Thats the trek I miss.

 

[Chaplin]

This is easily the best Star Trek in YEARS. Unbelievable how much the quality has improved. Every episode has been fantastic.

This is better than Discovery and New Worlds by a mile IMO. Not that I don't enjoy those shows but this season of Picard has been fantastic. When Picard is done, the creative team around this season seriously needs to be given a license to branch off into something new.

It's amazing what happens when you dump an idiot like Kurtzman and bring in a show runner that respects the franchise and the fans. Switching to Matalas was what the franchise and all of us wanted/needed. Hopefully they give him another series.

I thought it was Chabon in Season 1 and Akiva Goldsman in Season 2.

They were the runners but still under Kurtzman and they're his guys. They're all from the JarJar tree. This season he's executive producer in name only and it's all on Matalas.

From what I read story direction was decided by Chabon and Goldsmith S1 and 2.

All caught up. This show is so good.

 

[Chaplin]

Every episode is better than the last. Episode 6 was off the charts.

Have some last minute stuff for work I am doing but watching it right after!!!

They shouldn't be able to do something this good this late in the game, but here we are.
