PICARD

[Kahlo]

Dreadful writing, wooden and stilted acting. The Riker/ Trois episode was the worst for this. The music was saccharine and destroyed any sense of tension...not that there ever was much.

This got off to a good start in the first episode, but quickly descended into a predictable and uninspired plot with dull antagonists, and a crew (save for Rios) who I couldn't give less of a shit about.

haha that's pretty harsh man - are you a fan of TNG?

i fully agree with you on the JL stuff, that got obnoxious quickly

I loved TNG. I went back and watched a few seasons (wow - Season 1 wasn't great, huh?) but enjoyed revisiting a lot of those stories. Picard feels extremely loosely connected to that series in terms of quality.

Believe me, I wanted to love Picard, but it felt like it was written, directed and acted entirely by robots...which on reflection ...OH MY GOD ITS GENIUS.

I guess I don't totally understand that level of criticism because I also love TNG, but TNG is fantastically uneven. There are episodes that are sublime, and also plenty that are difficult to sit through.

Hey, put together some thoughts on the series here, too long to summarize for the board

I agree with you, but they aren't all part of a longer story arc. This is where Picard failed for me - it was a dull story, badly told.

Apparently there will be a Season 2. Join Picard as he boldy goes to the toilet 15 times an episode, meets Geordi and a few other pals along the way, and has an encounter with his greatest enemy: time. Will the dialysis machine save him?
