I'm OK with this, people shit on Star Trek Picard but I still thought it was alright despite the departure from more traditional Trek.

I watched the first season and liked it. The fan service didn't feel so bad (I enjoyed it!). Season twos portrayal by half way through of an old enemy felt too casual to me and I tapped out. Is season 3 worth a whirl of two stopped me?

@VerseAndVermin @FartsWithAnAccent I'm among the few who didn't like S3. I could not care less for "the chosen one" thing, which is just annoying and a tired trope.

Season 3 wasn't amazing, but it certainly wasn't as awful as Seasons 1 and 2. The scene with the D reveal and the fighting inside the cube was pretty dope, but I'll admit it was full fan service start to end.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Picard left me going "WTF how did this story make it out of the writer's room with approval?" With some editing and reworking it COULD have been good.....but it wasn't.

And don't get me started on Discovery. That show has been a Trainwreck forever.
