Absolutely. She’s smoking hot.Says a lot about this program that a woman in a dress is the only thing worth talking about.
I can’t remember the last program I started watching and didn’t see through to the end but this is really testing me. The acting is woeful, the story for this series is abysmal and the sets wouldn’t look out of place on Eastenders. Genuinely baffling PS put his name to this garbage.
As for the women in the red dress, give me the nurse any day of the week. She seems like the only one that can act and she’s basically an Instagram model. Says a lot about the rest

Absolutely. I don't understand how Star Trek has gone down the route of continual portraying incompetence in their main characters.I much prefer Season 1 (save the dodgy ending) over this mess of a season and that's like saying I prefer nettle stings over eating dog ****.
They've done nothing to evolve the story created in Season 1, wasted 75% of the season on filler and have written the characters completely opposite to how they should act.
Q - Set up a angle of him losing his powers then used him for all of 3 minutes of screen time. Well played
Picard - A shell of his former self. They've made him out to be a bumbling fool stopping to daydream about his childhood in the middle of a Borg home invasion.
Seven - Her whole relationship with Raffi confuses me. Asking her if she knows how to use a tricorder. Wut.
Raffi - The dumbest person in the Star Trek universe. Why would you trust anything she says or want her on your team?
Rios - Woefully used. A bit of side-story with the doctor but has done nothing to help them get back to the future.
Jurati - Proven to be an untrustworthy killer in S1 but gets no character development in S2 beyond the Borg queen takeover. Crazy facial expressions.
Borg queen - THE most dangerous villain in the ST universe.. It'll be ok if we leave her unattended on our only means home with the weakest crew member... Lul.
Dahj - Felt like they were setting up an evil maniacal android character similar to Lore in S1 which they quickly resolved in 15 mins, never to be seen again.
Don't interfere with the timeline..... cue, killing mercenaries, freeing detainees, stealing cars, taunting the authorities. Oh, and check out my spaceship to the nearest pretty lady I happen to get a crush on.
And what's with all the tedious flashbacks and dream sequences. There's not enough content to fill out 10 entire episodes, so they're having to add a ton of meaningless filler. Whatever happened to getting on with the story in one or two episodes and move on to another story. Can't they afford writers anymore?
Star Trek 4, the Voyage Home. Story done and dusted in under two hours. All this Borg stuff that Picard keeps harking back to - 'The Best of Both Worlds I and II'. Two episodes. Story line done and dusted. Yes, there was always continuity and further exploration of the Bog, but an episode later they'd moved on with a new story. Nowadays they'd drag that out to two seasons.
I can understand why so many people just want to wait for a series to be over and then binge watch it. Most the time you can go make a coffee and come back and very little has happened.
Ah yes her, she'd get it
She’s a doctor, she didn’t go to 7 years of fictional medical school to be called nurse! But agreed she’s freaking beautiful.
Not holding out much hope for s3 given the absolute garbage we’ve had so far. Don’t think even the TNG cast can save it.

Doubt I'll watch S3 really. Yes it'll have the old cast back but it will likely be the same formula we are currently witnessing. I'll save myself a whole load of picard facepalming too.

How did they keep that a secret. Wasn't expecting that.

Well the first half of the last episode was as naff as the rest. The 5 mins of spacey bit almost felt like trek. Then back to some naffness. I could do with some more of the spacey stuff.

Just finished episode 10.
Really could have been better.
Seven turns out to be a lesbian.
Q turns out to love Captain Picard and fixes it all in the last 10 minutes with a click.
Guinan has been hiding the fact she met Picard in the past all through TNG.
And Jeradi has been a Borg Queen for hundreds of years.
And Wesley Crusher's appearance....
It was entertaining but I just didn't like the storyline.
Brent Spiner can play a bad guy great though, even though I'm unclear on the link between him and the Nunion Sung character from TNG that created data - is it meant to be his ancestor?

Yes it's meant to be his ancestor

I vaguely remember Guinan saying she'd known Picard for a very long time either in Generations or TNG at some point, she never said when or how long but I seem to remember it basically always being a thing, possibly from the time she first joined the Enterprise. Although it's been a very long time since I watched TNG, I tried to rewatch it last year but gave up
A younger version of her meets Picard for the first time in a TNG episode called Time's Arrow.
It's set on earth in the 1800s.
So she either pretending not to know him in Picard, doesn't recognise him or alternate time line where they haven't met previously. The event's in Times Arrow likely wouldn't have happened in the Confederation timeline. So she could in theory have met him for the first time, repeatedly! Must be hard for poor Guinan to keep track.
Probably best to do what the writers have done, and don't give it too much thought.

What a lot of people seem to forget is the TNG had an awful lot of very poor episodes and a lot of the rest were just average.
Picard may not have been as good as a lot of people would like but the TNG was often heavy viewing too.

I've been re-watching with the other half and honestly it mostly still holds up. Which is a miracle considering it must have been like a factory floor trying to churn out 24 episodes a year. And when it was good, it was very good. I'm amazed that shows with just 10 episodes are allowed to start shooting with even mediocre scripts, let alone bad ones. Such a waste of everyone else down the chains time, money and talent.
Picard season 2 kinda flowed like a worse version of season 1 for me except without a middle bright spot of Riker and Troi appearing. Both seasons start well enough, meander for a bit, have some mind bogging silly bits, and then somehow, despite me disliking a huge chunk of what they've done manage to somehow salvage a landing for me, both revolving around farewells with tng characters. Season one being Picard and Data and season 2 Picard and Q. We always knew Q loved the tng crew and Picard, it was nice to hear it. I'll never watch the season again but I just wasn't as annoyed by it as I was during the season!
My only hope for season 3 is that they basically had a really good story/plot setup and covid put a bust to the original cast getting together for shooting so they back of a fag packet wrote series 2 and then when they could get the crew together got on with series 3 straight away.
Wishful thinking but as I said the highlights of Picard so far have been tng characters coming back so a whole season with them all could be great. The new characters with the exception of Rios have been rubbish with forced melodrama and relationships hamfistedly thrown in. Irony being the one character I'd like to have seen back won't be, they couldn't even get that right.

What is the hot doctor's name or actress name so I can perv. Thx.

It had some boring episodes and the acting was clunky, especially up to series 3. However, at least each story was internally consistent and consistent with the structure of the wider series. It never seemed like throwing a bunch of random **** at the screen to see what sticks or things happening with little to no prior explanation/logic.

What some people forget is that there are around 26 or 27 episodes in a season. There is bound to be "filler" or bottle episodes. Much of this series of Pukehard was filler episodes and they only had 10.
