ST: Picard
Nov. 29th, 2020 10:08 pmMy thoughts on Star Trek: Picard.
I have finished watching Picard, and you will not be surprised to learn that I have Opinions. I had planned to write a coherent review essay, but that began to seem too much like work, so I will just offer my likes and dislikes in random order.
Spoilers abound, so skip if you want to avoid them. (And of course, if Star Trek interests you about as much as much as used tissues, feel free to Walk on By. [Cue Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick here: "Foolish pride / That's all that I have left / So let me hide / The tears and the sadness you gave me / When you said goodbye-eye-eye-eye. / Walk on by; don't stop."])
( Things I Liked )
( Things I Didn't Like )
Overall verdict: Despite the flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed Picard and will definitely watch the next season whenever it appears. (In fact, the flaws are part of its Trekkie charm.)
I liked that the series is both darker than classic Trek (which makes good sense these days) and yet still very much a part of the Trek universe I love.
