37 minutes of the Picard pilot was more than enough for me. 3rd rate garbage that you'd expect from the SyFy Channel. Nothing interesting in the slightest. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Nah, this was good. More character based, slower paced, Picard was still Picard.
All I want is a continuation of the old series with a modern touch. This is that, so far. Like with The Mandalorian there seems to be a step away from woke crap and just telling sci fi stories.
Doesn’t all have to be Hamlet.
Much better than Discovery, feels like Star Trek, good acting, nice nods to the past with the CGI and sound. And Tim, seriously some of TNG episodes were terrible, some were great. What I mean is this just has to be consistent with that source material, not be the best thing ever made.

I liked it. I’ll watch the next episode for sure. The last half was better than the first once the exposition was out of the way.

@Tim yeah, just watched it and they have fair criticisms. Particularly about the loss of an optimistic vision of the future. That’s reflective of the poor level of discourse in US politics, and the left leaning need from the writers to paint people that disagree with them as evil.
It’s amusing that the hokey original trek handled those themes more subtly than today.
