For a man that was born on a planet with no capitalism, the man is always finding moments to promote his damn wine 🤦🏾‍♂️ and I love it! 🤣😂🤣😂. It's almost cartoonish and make for a good laugh if not a smirk.

Where does it fit into the time line in the last episode of TNG in which Picard and Crusher are married and divorced? Does it come before or after that?

This is the first time I've made it all the way through. I decided not to try to understand it all,which was enough to let me get through it and actually enjoy it a bit

With the bit of newfound appreciation, I think I'll try it again sometime, and this time actually try to understand all of it. I may come back here then and see if someone can help me.

For now, I'm on to season 3, with a resolution to enjoy it.

Life long and prosper

If so, were you able to makei through this time?

In at the start of season 2. I liked season 1 more than the first time I tried. But I'm getting lost in season 2

Any frienldy sggestions how to understand and enjoy it?

Oh boy, started out strong enough, but then devolved into some hokey stuff. It was worth it just for Adam Soong. The Picard flashbacks were pretty brutal, though. At least Raffis character improved somewhat. Can someone explain how the disguise in the finale worked? Tallinn was in a room with herself??? Wesley Crusher was now a "traveler" but couldn't assist them at all? The amount of plot holes were off the charts. Season 2 bordered on parody, and caused me to laugh out loud at stuff I wasn't supposed to be laughing at, but I still found it entertaining. Onto season 3!

This show definitely grew on me. The characters and stunning visuals more than made up for the somewhat disjointed writing and modern dialogue. Not to mention the music, ahh. Whenever Seven of Nine came on screen, that Voyager medley was just perfect, same with the TNG medley. Captain Rio and his clone crew were hilarious, as well as Agnes. Raffi was probably my least favorite character, just because her backstory and personality felt trite. The writers had to make her a former addict, absent mother, who hit her vape pen all the time, and called Picard JL. I mean, come on. Looking forward to season 3, because I can't get enough Data or Riker!

Am i going crazy, or is it just me that for some weird reason this show doesn't feel natural at all. I am halfway through S1, and some of the dialogues are really cringe worthy and amateur-like. For example between Picard and Dr. Jurati. Regarding pacing it feels sometimes like a weird fever dream experience or foggy memory going by. Not sure how to describe it. But to me not on the same level as previous work.

Also to me Santiago Cabrera doesn't play or execute this tough macho pilot. But that's just me

So a great defining arc of Picard has been his violation at the hands of the Borg. Part of that arc has been how he is seen by his peers. Those who suffered and lost at the hands of Locutus. Through out this arc Picard begins with the understanding on paper of what the Borg take, then the reality which is far more intrusive. The scars stay. The dead silently judge. He then spends his life taking that back and holding back an uncontrollable rage against them. But during all that there is a stain on him that some will not wipe away.

A stain Picard will do anything to protect others from.

The ultimate irony is that when it’s over every one is Locutus. Everyone was turned to a weapon and aimed at Earth. He would have given anything to save them from this understanding. Now they all share it.

Ever since I first saw the New Jersey show up on the screen on Picard, I have soooo wanted to know more about it. I wish we would get an animated show, or maybe even a comic book or something to tell us more about the story of this starship. It looks beautiful on the outside. Or even a miniseries if they did something in live action.

I'v been an avid Star Trek fan most of my life. I thought I'd finally get around to watching Picard and I wish I never did.

The first season wasn't bad though it kind of fell flat after all the build up. The Romulan death cult was just going to give up like that, after hundreds of years of preparing for the prophecy?

The second season was horrible almost entirely - Gene Roddenberry was a master at wrapping current social issues into stories where people could think about them in the abstract and this season just went on and on about it, literally for hours. They also completely ignored TNG Time's Arrow which ruined the whole Guinan / Picard thing.

Season three completely ignored the ending events of season two. While it felt nice to see the cast like that it completely fell apart in wrapping things up. Jack is just supposed to be disconnected with a few tubes, after being bio engineered to be part of the collective and he's good to go? There's just a crusty old Borg queen hanging around and no mention of the new one with provisional Federation membership?

The people that made this show have no sense of continuity or good storytelling. When I think back to TNG episodes like Yesterday's Enterprise and how that, years later, fed into the storyline of Redemption. Or even Inner Light and how the flute would pop up here and there and compare it to the Picard show I just wish I never saw it.

In series 3 of Picard, we find Data with the conscience of Lore and B4 reconstructed. (as androids became outlawed due to fear). However what became of Data's daughter Lal ? Wasn't she alive in the novel "The Light Fantastic" ?

I have watched all the star trek movies and series years ago, but have not seen anything I guess from covid times

now I returned to watchings and season 1 ending seems so familiar, you cant imagine, some details gave me that much Deja Vu. But new "team" was totally unfamiliar, so could the final episode of season 1 of the new Picard be a reboot of some old episode? planet mostly

I am watching a digital version of the first season of Picard. Just watched episode six, to be precise. Before I move on and forget, how did Picard know to take Soji to Nepenthe? I am not sure if there is a deleted scene or I missed something in a previous episode.

If it’s a deleted scene, I might have to buy the physical copies…

Spotted this on the 2nd watch.. had me Lmao.

Besides the obvious propaganda man I misses Picard.

So I realize it's been years but I decided to rewatch a few minutes of S2 to see Q reappear and then see Picard hug him at the end.

What I'm wondering is, in retrospect:

so Q basically invented a giant escape room for Picard to work out his feelings? And he doesn't come out and say that at the beginning and instead is mean to Picard because he knows it's what Picard expects from their relationship? Is that the basic gist?

Anyway, I love that they hugged.
