My thoughts on the overall structure of the "season/series/whatever" aside, Patrick Stewart is so weak and frail and spaced out that I've only felt like I was watching Jean Luc twice in four episodes. The rest is Patrick Stewart looking aimless, lost and exhausted.

It's like taking Logan and putting him in X-men 2 but everyone else is old too but they have their faculties together. It's a bizarre tone for a show.

I still haven't watched the newest episode. I'm considering giving up on it, because if I have to watch another episode without Picard or is Picard lite, the title fucking character, I'm gonna flip. He's the only saving grace of the show. The rest of it sucks. It also doesn't help in the slightest having to watch a former heroic character get chewed out and bitched at by literally almost everyone.

Why did he choose to do this show? He doesn't need the money, and he can't be so attached to the character that he would throw away his legacy like this (although I guess you could argue all the movies did that already). Did they tell him that it was going to combat racism or something? Is he just bored?

The guy is 79 but clearly he doesnt need to be portrayed as a feeble old man. Im not sure what they were thinking.
I haven't watched the show, but I'm guessing they saw Logan and realized how good he is at pretending to be older than he is.

Watching the train wreck that clowns at CBS has allowed Star Trek to become is sad. That is what happens when they keep Alex Kurtzman around.

ST has always done political and other social issues in a thought provoking and fair light. Picard is like Frank Drabo from the movie Super where they take a wrench and bash your head repeatedly.

Damn. Did you guys know Patrick Stewart is married to a chick whos almost 40 years younger than him? The guy is 79 but clearly he doesnt need to be portrayed as a feeble old man. Im not sure what they were thinking.
Actually, only 38 years younger.

And that just shows you how pimpin Patrick Stewart is to be able to land a new wife that's 38 years younger than him.

Sunny Ozell is only 41 y/o right now, so she isn't exactly a spring chicken either.

The tone of this show is so dark and dystopian, it's a real downer. No character is allowed to be happy; every single one of them has a tragic backstory. The actors are all selling it way beyond my expectations, so at least it's believable... but it's still depressing.

Not gonna stop watching though. They got me.

It is a weird world whenSeth Mcfarland is the only one making a true to heart Star Trek show, and had to pretend that it was a parody in order to get it made.

How is Seven?

She was okay. She gets a few nice moments with Picard, especially their last scene together. But...overall, unless you're a hardcore fan of Seven's character development, it is a very meh experience.

1. Hire Ian McKellan.
2. Cast him as Picard's best bud.
3. Let them make magic.

I absolutely detest what they did to Seven's character
What's wrong with a woman who spent four seasons learning about humanity and overcoming the basic, violent instincts she'd been taught turning into a mercenary who obliterates the woman who murdered her surrogate son?

How many people have you seen in fiction take revenge for a lost family member?

Plenty.

The only thing I really got from that stuff was: she went on to have a life and became fully human succumbing to the trappings of humanity instead of Borg like instinct or rising to higher echelons of humanity as the Voyager crew tried to show her.

It sucks, but that's to be expected inside this ginormous dystopian world of bullshit they're creating. At least they put some actual thought into something.
