Star Trek: Picard - Season 3, Everyone loves the D

[Barnard]

Riker vocalised my feelings about most things these days very well.

 

Spoiler

Riker: I don’t understand the world anymore.

 

And

 

Riker: We’re all gonna die.

 

[Festoon]

Properly enjoying this now. Nice to see Jeri Ryan get a chance to actually act.

[GwiDan]

My finale theory: 

 

Spoiler

All the historic ships from the museum get used, Picard on the Enterprise, Worf on Defiant, and 7 on Voyager

 

[DeciderVT]

There's some talk about a series following on from this, which Matalas has been calling Star Trek: Legacy. Not sure if the details being wished for by the cast are potential spoilers for who or what survives in Picard:

 

Spoiler

It'd be a mix of older and younger crew from Picard, taking place on the Titan. Frakes, Burton and Ryan are backing the idea.

I think..

 

Spoiler

They'll have to meld them altogether like Devastator to become a giant ship/robot thing that will use it's combined power to hit/warp/go through time - to defeat a massive vat of Changelings that have all combined to become one giant one.

 

Hopefully they'll get all the old captains on board, including Kirk. Who is Chris Pine and that will upset everyone.

More importantly Thor appears as his dad right at the end.

 

[Hamus]

I also thought Burton was excellent in this. Almost the most believable grown up and progressed when compared to others.

 

More of him please.

[Jammy]

More of all of them - I don’t care if it’s fan service, I just wish this had been S1 of Picard, not the final season.

It solves the single biggest problem about Picard, as it

wouldn't have Picard. He's the weak link this series, even if he seemed to find the character more when surrounded by more of the old cast.

£10 says all those old Unnetworked ships are going to have to come save the day when the networked fleet is taken over. So what’s in storage might be leading the charge

 

 

The similarities to Battlestar Galactica continues!

This could work pretty well - a new show based around Captain Shaw, Sidney LaForge, Jack Crusher, Seven of Nine and whichever members of the TNG crew want to hang around could be very entertaining. It would be good to see Star Trek moving forward again, and a 25th century ship-based show would make a good counterpart to Strange New Worlds. No Raffi though, please.

Let’s see who survives the next few episodes first.

Kurtzman seems to think that the Section 31 programme is still going ahead, although I imagine Michelle Yeoh just got a lot more expensive. Given Raffi's storyline in this series, I'm hoping that she ends up being absorbed into that if she survives.

I don’t know if getting an Oscar mean she would get most expensive or get more work.  She’s been pretty busy for a while now.

 

When Picard talk about family etc.  I wish we would get one last reference to Inner Light before it’s all said and done.  It would be crushing for him to have a son, only for it not be real again.

I was thinking about that last week, as it happens- not the first time Picard has been at this stage of life and I also wished that they'd acknowledged it. With hindsight it seems like an odd choice to have him tell Jack that Starfleet was all the family he needed after he'd been through such a profound experience. Am I misremembering something or did we get a glimpse of the Ressikan flute in an earlier episode?

Also, regarding family- it would've been nice to have Picard calling home to Laris at least once or twice after these death-defying escapades, as Riker did with Troi.

[Vulgar Monkey]

True, though I think these writers are of the sort where they only did stuff like that to remind us they exist when it is convenient for a later plot-point, as is the case with Troi. 

 

Otherwise I think 'calls home to loved ones' get filed in the same draw as 'scenes where the character goes to the toilet for a dump'. Just assumed to happen offscreen.

then, just as the USS Devastator is about to be defeated by the giant vat of changelings, Michael Burnham turns up and cries at them and her tears neutralise all the hate and is also found to be the cure for changeling syphilis, so they keep her.

Hang on, Paramount have the Transformers film rights, why haven’t we had Starfleet ship Transformers yet?

"That whole ship... IS A CHANGELING!"

[Haribokart]

I watched the TOS movies, TNG, DS9 and VOY as well as the three most recent movies and mostly enjoyed everything - found season 1 or Picard to be so shite I finished it out of obligation and I can barely remember anything of it. Heard season 2 was even worse, but now mumblings of 3 actually being worth a watch. I normally hate skipping episodes/seasons of a show but in this case it seems that it's fine to skip 2 and go straight to 3 without ruining any plot or characters, but is that really true?

[sir podger]

you can skip season 2 and it wont change a thing

This.

 

You might wonder why some of the season 1 cast members aren't there, but it's not important. That's really it. Even season 1 doesn't have that much of an impact beyond what happens to Picard at the end.

[Kevvy Metal]

I found Season 2 to be really entertaining, fully aware that it was completely stupid.

If they do TNG stuff I'm buying it!

[monkeydog]

I'm continuing to slightly enjoy this steaming pile of garbage. 

 

I'm guessing ultimate weapon is

 

Spoiler

That the changelings have figured out a way to turn the Picard corpse all Locutus-y. Locutus can then take over the networked fleet. 

 

Old crew in a galaxy class ship get to pewpew and save the day somehow.

 

[Sprite Machine]

Okay, that was actually pretty good. Fucking hell.

Absolutely layering on the nostalgia as thickly as possible, but having put up with two and a half seasons of utter bullshit, I'll take it!

 

That said, I did not need to see

a tribble's mouth/anus.
