It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it a lot. Didn't think I would but it's much better than Picard, such a boring show.
Picard existed for one reason: To provide a vehicle for ending a bunch of TNG-era storylines so they wouldn't end up fucking the next Trek series as fans ask, "What happened to the Borg? Where is Q? Why doesn't Guinan show up? What about the Romulan homeworld?" and so on. (Okay, two reasons: The second is "money!")
In that, it did an acceptable job, presuming you look at it as a series of endings. And season 3 was an absolute blast full of nostalgia, while still giving the post-TNG era a relatively clean slate to start from.
In keeping an audience engaged with an exciting storyline, or a coherent plot... not so much.
The way I read this, what you are saying is that they made PIC so they can make even worse abominations in the future without being limited by classic Trek canon. That is horrible!
They kinda went clean slate on tng stuff... It's aweful if you're out age... But to new trek fans, it's the start of "their" era of trek.
I honestly pitty them
Picard season 3 is a beautiful love letter to TNG
