Picard - Is An Awesome Series

[BLUEVOODU]

Late to the party?  Sure.  We got a really good deal on the complete series of Picard Blu-Ray!

The series is really really good.  Ratings were not favorable for the 1st 2 seasons.  Honestly... I really liked them.  Outside a couple oddities, I don't see what the fuss was.  The 3rd season is so far really awesome as well.

We had an older Topic a few years back:
Star Trek Picard - is it good?
There were a couple good comments at the time.

How many have seen this?  Have you gone back and re-watched?

Thoughts? Comments?  Post it up!!

I loved it for what it was. There were flaws but it told an entertaining story. Die-hards will / did hate it. Without spoiling anything, there's a back story that was rushed and had liberties taken. Even the showrunner addressed it, basically admitting it was shoehorned in.

I didn't appreciate the earlier series until later in life and have not been through all of it yet. They were more soap than action, so I wrote them off and have only recently started watching the legacy stuff. The Next Generation movies were great and cut the fluffy stuff to seemingly attract a wider movie-going audience and was more my thing. I think that's why I liked Picard. It took a little more of the action route and had some ties to the Star Trek materials I most enjoyed.

I get the hate, when Marvel or DC takes too much liberty with some of the comic story lines I read as a kid, I took it as a put-off. Sometimes big changes work, other times they don't. People are always going to find issue when others take liberties with source material. I'm less resistant to it than some, I just ask for quality, which in general does seem to be fading.

I am also going back through some of the older series.  It's pretty cool

Especially in this day and age... it really seems like everyone complains about everything.  I get it, there are opinions about... and strong opinions at that.

Outside the liberties taken... and coming from not 100% remembering every main or back story... It was very enjoyable to watch. Again, there were certain points that were rough and some over active at certain spots, but the series was very enjoyable to watch.  Maybe if I knew everything... and was a uber Trekkie or something... it might matter much more lol
