I hope this is his swan song. Patrick Stewart is amazing, and I love Captain Picard, but he's not Harrison Ford. The franchise will be fine without him. We don't need to play out Too Short a Season in real life
Three seasons of PIC were already a mistake. The only good thing coming from it is the possibility of a Riker cooking/baking show (which I would totally watch).
In rewatching the original series and TNG thereafter, the consistent factor, regardless of the early special effects, was the scripts. The dialogue was always great. In ST: Picard, the dialogue is trash.
Everything about ST Picard is trash. Dialogue, script, Character behavior, 50 years of fransche history ignored, it was all written and executed by people who don't like star Trek, cast excluded though I just don't understand why any of the vast was on board with this turd. We're they so desperate for money?
it's even worse than that they write characters that are not in the world of star trek but written like they are fans of the star trek. that might work for a comedy like lower decks but it stunts growth of the franchise.
since we can't make new stories or ask new questions. They are just stuck in a circle of reference and the bare minimum of a story / scavenger hunt to get to those references. Terry Matalas has said this himself.
But hey at least we have unedited versions of the originals unlike star wars and I hope all the actors got big paydays in their golden years.
The sitcom The Rikers as pitched by Sirtis and Frakes would have been better that the three seasons of Picard, frankly.
2 seasons were a mistake and by far the worst trek seasons from any show, the third season while being massive fan service was just what I seemingly wanted as I loved every second and was a great ending to the TNG crew
I just watch the third season and pretend all of the random references to the early seasons happened in a more logical way.
I knew somebody who was running a "what could have been" Star Trek TTRPG campaign based around episodes of Voyager that could have been executed better, I think I would love to run a campaign that had plot elements from Picard's first two seasons as a personal headcanon.
