Did they just tease a spin off with that Q stinger?

I liked the show, until the second to last episode. All those people who died every bad thing that happened was Jack's fault.

Honestly after throwing in the Borg I was expecting more internet whining over "omg more Borg!"

I just want this to end either so good or so bad that the red letter media episode is funny. Mediocre would be the worst outcome.

Terry Matalas has been teasing a spinoff for a few weeks, now. "Legacy" says he's only still pitching it, but a lot of people think it's sure, and Paramount is saving the announcement for some reason.

agreed 100%. ep 9 was a huge letdown. 10 was pretty good, though it absolutely would have been better without the random change in direction at the last minute. i did appreciate the endgame tie-in, though. Janeway > Picard, at least when it came to dealing with Borg.

Picard S3 was amazing! However, in my humble opinion, Riker and Worf had to hard carry most of the show. Jack to me really only felt like the man he was supposed to be in the final scene in his quarters with Q. Also, Q!!!

My parents had a collection of Shakespeare with photos from stage productions. There was a picture of Patrick Stewart playing Touchstone in As You Like It. For some reason I thought that was really cool. I found it when ST:TNG was still on the air.

that's awesome. there's a story out there that he only took the TNG job because he (or maybe someone advising him) thought it was going to flop and get cancelled immediately, and he could go right back to stage acting. 35 years later...

I believe it because it sounds like something that would be true.

Janeway was crazy(We love her for it) and didn't have severe PTSD from being assimilated so makes sense.

The whole story of how he got the role is amazing.
Gene Roddenberry and Robert Justma (TV Producer) worked on the new Star Trek TV series. They decided that the captain would be French, and they wanted a real French actor. They didnt knew who, that would be a future problem.
Robert and his wife decided to go on an evening lecture at UCLA about Shakespear.
Patrick Stewart had done much Shakespear in UK, and now he was in USA to help his Professor friend by making a guest speech. When the class was over, Robert knew that Patrick was perfect.
So he contacted Patrick and convinced him to meet him and Gene the next day to try for the role.
They thanked him and Patrick flew home to UK, not thinking about it any more.
Robert knew that they had found their captain, but Gene was still stuck on using a real French actor. Robert kept pestering Gene about Patrick until he got angry, so Robert decided to not mention him again.
Time went and they got closer to their deadline when Gene finally gave up and asked Robert to hire Patrick.
Patrick wasnt really interested in the role, especially when the contract mentioned the possibility of multiple seasons.
But his friends, and his manager, said It will probably be cancelled after a season, take the job and see it as a paid vacation!
There was some worry that the studio would be reluctant to cast a bald actor for the role, and Stewart read both with and without a wig, his custom-made stage wig was flown in from the UK. Thankfully, the studio heads preferred him without it.
He also tried out a French accent for the character but all involved, including Patrick Stewart himself, thought he sounded like Inspector Clouseau.

Is anyone else mad that Picard gave Data the helm commands despite Geordie sitting right there at the helm? And then Data piloting more from the conn for the heroics?

I love how the entire season is a giant middle finger to Picard seasons 1 & 2. There's a scene in episode 3 were I feel "movie Picard" briefly showed up and the writers punished him for being out of character.

The part where his aggressive and not like Picard tactics got the Titan screwed and falling into that gravity well. When Riker tells him off and to get the hell off the bridge felt oddly satisfying to me. As somehow the showrunner was exposing the imposter from the TNG movies and he was gonna show us the "real" Picard now.

I stopped watching after 4 because I got busy and only followed Mando. Just binged 5-10.

Still processing everything, but I fucking loved it. Best season of ST in a long ass time. The Borg stuff was meh, but I still loved everything.

"And I will make it a threesome" "Do you even hear yourself" is the funniest bit of the entire Picard show.

this was way better than Picard 1 and 2, but not a chance it was better than anything Lower Decks (edit: maybe it beats LD1. it's been a while since i watched that one) or especially SNW Season 1.

Fair enough, I have not seen Lower Decks or Prodigy. I meant it more with the live action, but I've heard amazing things about Lower Decks, so I might catch it soon.
