Star Trek: Picard - Amazon Prime [** POSSIBLE SPOILERS **]

Time travel shenanigans.

If he does come back I hope he is the Shaw of the first few episode… what a jerk ! I hope he is constantly drinking wine and insulting people #SHAWTREK

Just watched SURRENDER.

This season is without a doubt the most perfect TNG reunion. And also a bloody good adventure story.

I hadn’t expected much out of the character of young Jack and thought he was going to be another in a long line of bad Han Solo copies but fortunately he isn’t that at all and the writing and Speelers’ performance have made him a first rate addition to STAR TREK.

And Amanda Plummer is a top notch scene stealing villain.

I do have two criticism though - the over use of black in the various Starfleet uniforms. The red in the outfits Shaw and Seven have been wearing in the last couple of episode is way too dark. So much black makes the details and work put into the costumes easy to overlook. I’m so glad that the minds behind THE MANDOLORIAN choose to have more a large amount of colour. AND in ANDOR too - I don’t think anyone even wore black expect for a few Imperial uniforms but with the bright sets you could see the details.

The other thing is that Jack and Sydney should have had a few scenes (even one) together in earlier episodes that showed the budding friendship. But in episode 7 they are just suddenly buddies despite not even having any interaction all along.

Minor complaints though.

He lives on forever in our memes

I liked how they compared Star Trek and Star Wars doing nostalgia… Star Wars did it bad

Anyone remember a character called Cristobal Rios?

I prefer slightly unimaginative STO ships than a copy paste fleet of a terrible design.

Yes. But his history is odd, just turned up in LA one day and showed good skill at football.

I was thinking that I must not know what positronics are myself because as far as I knew it is an artificial brain but from the dialogue it seems to say that it is his entire body.

I think it was a silly thing to do in the first place. The illness didn’t even affect him is season one until they needed to incapacitate Picard a couple of times and an entirely new body seemed extreme since he had been completely capable in mind and body through the whole season. Some kind of implant would have been enough but instead they decided he should be no longer human but still human. Or something.

The confusion Rios mentioned in season two is no longer funny when you suggest the writers didn’t seem to know what they think they know.

:p

When Asimov wrote his first robot stories in 1939 and 1940, the positron was a newly discovered particle, and so the buzz word "positronic" added a scientific connotation to the concept.

Just the name, not that antiparticle was used in the robots.

bring back the delete option ffs

I've been saying the same for ages. I heard someone joke they might as well call the next ship NCC:90210

Legacy will be the same if it's made.

Am I the only one who didn't like Jack? I couldn't warm to the character, or the actor.

Shaw was super.

Data, worf and LaForge were great. Riker too, but to a lesser degree.

The rest were okay.

I did think Q was underused in the previous season.

Overall, I found season 3 better but tapered away in quality to basic nostalgia.

Bring back the TNG era future accent. There needs to be more "whom" and no sentences ending in prepositions.
