The new episode of Picard was ... good.
I almost didn’t watch it, but was pleasantly surprised. The shit of the Titan leaving space dock was spot on, and Picard seems closer to his TV persona that the first two seasons.
Of course they could ruin it all.
Liked the fact that one of the characters was the actual daughter of the actor, nice touch.

@Kirwan Interesting that they brought in a show runner who had worked on Trek before (Voyager, Enterprise), and dumped most of the new cast.
It does help when the show runner (he directed the first episode too) has seen Trek before.

@Tim yep, another good episode. The thing they have done is make Star Trek tv again, there have always been plenty of shit bad guys and hokey stuff.
Here we had light action, good special effects, people talking through conflict and making plans and moral questions.
It felt like a new generation episode made today, all I wanted. Picard is far closer the tv version now, back to being gruff.

@Kirwan I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Discovery with Michelle Yeoh - despite it having so many whiney, woke, unlikeable characters - but gave up after it went all eco warrior save the Dolphins
I wanted to like it very much. I just couldn't handle all the crying and non-Star Trek ethos. Nobody seemed good at their jobs, it was all about Micheal's character saving the day - not the normal teamwork with a strong leader.
I noped out after season 3.
So happy to have Strange New Worlds, that still has left viewpoints (like the original Star Trek) but done with class and nuance, and kept the core of what makes Star Trek great which is positivity about the future. Add in the third series of Picard and and the worm seems to have turned on these shows.
