This is Picard for me. I thought season one was alright, season two was hot garbage, but season three is what star trek fans had been waiting for all these years. Perfect conclusion, but boy was it rough getting there lol

I agree with your take on the first two, but s3 was so gratuitous I could barely stand it. A reunion episode would have been fine, but they didn't do the story justice.

Yeah they completely lost me with the ending of S1 and I gave up on the show.

But RLM said S3 was actually good, so I watched it. Completely skipped S2. Nothing of value was lost. I guess Raffi and Seven are in a relationship? I think that's the only thing that happened in S2 that carried over.

I think I'd have liked S3 more if I was a big TNG fan. But as it was, it was basically the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, just that it brought back a beloved character rather than killing off a beloved character in the middle part of the story. Which of course made it so much better. But still, it's basically the same kind of thing. It was fine. A good ending for the TNG crew.

I hope the Legacy thing can happen, I want to see how things are going on DS9 because that's my Star Trek.

Totally agree, and yeah DS9 is my favorite trek as well (I'm actually watching it as I type this on my phone lol) so would love a revisit to the promenade.

But Picard season three was what I think TNG needed for a good wrap-up. It didn't blow me away but the final scene of the last episode was perfect for me.

RLM didn't like Strange New Worlds, I couldn't take their Picard S3 recommendation
