three quick ((+/-) spoiler-free) notes on PICARD, 3-10
While I still hate that it took the show this long to get this good, I'm glad it got there eventually – though it was so very, very close to losing me at multiple points in the first two seasons. Seven and Raffi saved it both times for me.
Which means I'm all there for the next next generation – be it a series or a standalone film.
I'll miss the TNG'ers, but what a sendoff. Glad they finally got the farewell they deserved; as they said once before, “All good things…”
four quick (spoiler-free) notes on PICARD 3-9
YES
I hope that 3-10, once we're over the utter glee of seeing what we're seeing for the first time since we last saw what we're seeing, all those years ago, explains why – beyond, possibly, a single line in this episode – the status quo at the end of season two seems to have been forgotten.*
WOW
YES
…AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (trailer 2)
This had me as blubberingly nostalgic as the latest episode of PICARD. Looking forward to one final adventure.
five quick notes on PICARD 3.6
Best episode of the season and of the series. I repeat: why did it wait this long to get this good?
Felt, appropriately, like the start of a goodbye to an era – but also a hello towards a new one.
(Reiterating my desire for a series featuring the crew of the Titan and Jack Crusher.)
Are you going to make it out of this one alive, Will?
Way to call back to the start of the series; that's a hell of a McGuffin.
three quick notes on PICARD 3.1
Why did the series have to wait until its final season to be THIS good?
Assuming Seven and much of the Titan crew survives, they need their own show. The next next generation.
Goldsmith’s FIRST CONTACT theme is the most beautiful thing he wrote for TREK and hearing it again gave me chills.
