I haven't watched most of Picard yet except the first few episodes of season 1, but I weirdly picked up this detail from the IDW Picard's Academy comic. I enjoyed it. Maybe not a masterpiece, but it was at my local library and I would read it again just to look at Spock's outfit:
There's just something weirdly fitting about business casual out Starfleet Academy Instructor Spock.
That's "Professor Spock", cadet.
That’s the same as the clothy casual red uniform Kirk wears during Star Trek II & III. But I guess his is blue because (Captain or not) he’s from the science branch. Or maybe the Academy uses blue while the fleet uses red.
I'm still not decided on which is worse, Picard or Enterprise. But I'd probably choose Picard.
Enterprise has Dr Flox and T'Pol.
Picard has... (I'm blanking on trying to think of something good)
I didn't even care for Picard in Picard, and I love Picard!
Seven-of-nine (I think), I watched season 1, maybe season 2. I feel like I only watched two or three episodes and the rest of that time is lost to the universe, so I'm not even entirely sure what I watched.
Enterprise at least had the spirit of Star Trek. Picard was just... not that.
TNG: You must respect Data's right to bodily autonomy and self-determination!
PIC: Federation's got SLAAAAVES!
"Starfleet could've sent a probe out here to make maps and take pictures, but they didn't. They sent us so we could explore with our own senses."
Enterprise had some redeeming qualities.
Was Enterprise the Quantum Leap one without any Quantum Leap?
Aside from the tropes that were the major plot arc, I found Picard to be an enjoyable watch.
What else are people hating on it for?
First season had promise.
Second season was awful, a two-part episode stretched out to a full season.
Third season was too much fan service. I love me some fan service, but I really think it was a detriment to the season. Ro Laren never should have been allowed back in Starfleet, but they brought her back just to kill her off. I would have liked to see a new antagonist besides the Borg and especially the Founders, the latter of which was never a Picard nemesis in the first place.
Old Data. Just why? Data has died twice, can we let him rest? It cheapens each of the two deaths beforehand.
And on top of all that the most interesting original characters, Rios and Elnor, were written off in favor of TNG Season 8.
