Star Trek: Picard (Season 3)

I haven’t watched Seasons 1 & 2; everything I’ve seen/heard/read about them convinced me that the lunatics in charge either don’t understand or don’t care about the spirit of Trek, so I avoided them like the plaque. But I heard different about the third season. Of course, I heard the same about Strange New Worlds, and watching the first season of that, I found it juvenile crap. But after watching the RedLetterMedia reviews, I decided to take a leap of faith; if those jaded hackfrauds could enjoy it…

So yeah, I loved it. Very, very much. TNG was never my favourite Trek series, but I always felt that for all its flaws – and I do consider it very flawed – its heart was mostly in the right place. And I always felt that the TNG films did the TNG crew dirty (including the overrated First Contact). Season 3 of Picard, I feel, rectified most of the damage those films did. I wasn’t completely satisfied. There were lots of references to the Dominion War, but not a single DS9 character could make an appearance? And

SPOILERS

The Borg Queen just had to be included. I hate the Borg Queen.

But overall, I was more than satisfied.
