We all like what we like I suppose. I thought Picard was the most inconsistent shows I’ve seen. The character was unrecognizable until parts of the “third season” which was almost a completely different show.
I know Trek has historically always taken a season or two to get going, but now with 10 episode seasons you feel how bad writing is right away without any of the charm.
I have a suspicion of a lot of shows lately. Someone has a script. It makes its way through the system and eventually it lands somewhere with some sway. They say “Good enough script but it needs an IP to be attached to. What do we have available in our library of IP? Slap Star Trek on this. Slap Addams Family on that.” These shows say they are one thing but feel like they were written for an entirety different subject matter. Then when it gets mixed reactions, the next season bails on any of the material from the last and just does something entirely different." In my humble opinion.
Enjoy what you enjoy. Don’t let an old internet nerd sway your opinion or ruin your fun.
I’ll just be in the corner drinking at Quark’s.
It is in fact Duck. I did not intend that coincidence, but it is welcome.
