PIC s3e1 “The Next Generation” and TNG s5e25 “The Inner Light”
PIC season 3 is good, season 1 has stuff that matters for season 3, and season 2… happened. It’s so weird to me that seasons 2 and 3 were shot back-to-back but 3 totally ignored 2’s loose ends.
Shaw tied it up nice and neat.
Yeah, 2 is a hot mess with little to no bearing on 3.
I think you can go straight from TNG to PIC season 3. No need to watch 1 or 2.
1 has some interesting concepts, but weak characterization and pacing. Helps to know some of who Raffi is and to bring Seven into the fold.
week characterization
Hallmark of the Kurtzman era.
I don’t understand how he has a job anymore.
my eyes are still burning from when they get on the bright Galaxy-class bridge at the end after standing around in the dark for three seasons
The shuttle 1 scene prior:
To the bridge, which is still slightly dimmed, because drama:
A nostalgic breath of fresh air.
After reading that there’s torture porn in Picard I will never watch any more of it than the first maybe three or four episodes I did see many years ago.
Hmm… there’s Icheb a few episodes into season 1 (still salty about that). Season 2 is a bit like torture to watch unto itself, but nothing overtly graphic that I recall… oh, there is that sequence involving the Founders in season 3. Though it’s not there to glorify, but to point out mistreatment.
Rated R Trek does take some getting used to. Some of the swearing is a bit hamfisted. Not Captain Shaw, of course. Watch season 3 if only for him.
Thank you for the info on what to look out for if I do decide to watch more <3
Even if it’s depicted to point out mistreatment, it still really really fucks with me and I just cannot expose myself to it
