+ poolboy48220 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 "Star Trek: Picard" premiered last night on CBS All Access. I watched it, liked it very much, but I admit I'd be happy watching Patrick Steward read a phone book. Good story so far, and they don't seem to be rushing things. I don't know how many episodes are planned, but it's already been renewed for a second season. jgoo and Becket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy4 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Like you I enjoyed it as well. I thought the first ep seemed a bit rushed, but understand that this series will not be 21 episodes like TNG, and there was a need to set up the rest of the series pretty quickly. Was also glad to hear the Guinan will be in the second season. Saw lots of moans and groans from some of the fans that do not like Whoopie. If they can bring Hugh back what is the problem with having Guinan. jgoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ poolboy48220 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 I guess my "not rushing things" comment comes from not seeing a lot of the characters shown in the previews. Riker and Troi, whoever Santiago Cabrera is playing, some Vulcan guy that reminds me of Legolas from Lord of the Rings. I thought Picard's two live-ins seemed very non-Vulcan in demeanor - maybe they're Romulans, since Picard seems to be involved in the Romulan relief efforts?

+ FrankR Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I really wish they would come up with a better sound track! I mean ALL the "Trek" shows since TNG have had downright boring music with their opening credits. Honestly; they can do better - give me something that will raise some excitement; not something that will put me to sleep!! jgoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have CBS All Access but was thinking of getting it just because of this new series. The comments here are useful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGatton Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I don't have CBS All Access but was thinking of getting it just because of this new series. The comments here are useful to me. I've been liking it so far. It seems to be taking it's time which personaly is a relief compared to the more action heavy tone the franchise seems to have taken more recently. The reviews have been good but were only based on the first three episodes so we'll see how it holds up after that. As far as the theme song so long as it's not another "Faith of the Heart" disaster I am okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ poolboy48220 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Still loving this show. More skin than your usual Trek, mostly Santiago Cabrera, and that's definitely NOT a complaint. He's looking awesome for 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looking awesome for 41. Yes, the plot wheels are finally approching full speed and Rafi's interaction with her son made that character click with me. And there are many scenarios I can think of that would involve me, Rios, and his various holographic doppelgangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to believe Quark had some pretty sleazy programs in his holosuites. I'm getting to love the Romulan kid too (clearly, I'm not remembering names all that well yet). Not in a lusting-after-him sense - his youth & eagerness is just fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBiDude Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Finished a two day binge of “Picard”. Really enjoyed it, visually very well done.

I’m waiting for feedback on Picard, and also for more episodes of “The Offer” to drop, then I’m going back on Paramount a couple months.

Sadly season 2 was a mess, even more so than season 1 which is saying something. I say this as someone who hates the knee-jerk negative reactions a lot people have to all NuTrek shows, but the serialized stories they try with Picard just devolve into a clusterfuck by the end. Now that being said if you are thinking about subscribing to Paramount + I do think Strange New Worlds is shaping up to be an excellent show and would be worth the subscription for as long as it's airing Njguy2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ poolboy48220 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 I watched the first episode of Season 3 and I'm hopeful. Seems more action and story-oriented than Season 2. I rewatched Season 2 last week, and liked it a *bit* more than the first time through, but overall still disappointed in it. The whole thread about Picard and his mother which ran through all of season 2 was just useless. Tallywad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
