I really don't get the fawning over PIC season 3. It was bad. I'd love to see more of Ryan in a new series, but only if they recruit writers on par with SNW and lose the phone numbers of those who did PIC.
- Yeah, I can’t wrap my head around it either. Easily the worst, most self indulgent season of Trek in my opinion.
  But it had the TNG crew back aboard the Enterprise D so for a lot of people it’s hitting the nostalgia button.
  
  It wasn’t great, but it was notably better than season 2 in that it actually felt like a season of a show with some thought put into some kind of continuity. Season 2 was a huge clusterfuck of awful
  
  It was.... Okay. Better then the first 2 seasons of Pic by a mile at least. If it was just the first 5 or so episodes I might even call it good. Yeah it was big, dumb, and loud, but it was also full of nostalgia bait, some of which admittedly did resonate with me. The bar was just so low after the TNG movies and first two season of PIC that traumatized fans were happy to have a seemingly final sendoff that wasn't completely terrible.
- I barely got through S1. Terrible show.
  Jeri has aged like a fine wine, but I'm not so desperate for TNG nostalgia that I'll watch fat Data.
- Indeed but it was unapologetic fan service towards the end.
They have to cast her. She’s one of the most compelling Trek characters we’ve seen.
Can this please be marked as some sort of spoiler? I haven’t watched Picard Season 3 yet and this was a massive spoiler bait title…
- We generally don't protect spoilers after about a week. In this case, it's been nearly a year.
- Same, but to be fair we really should have watched it by now
- It it's any consolation, it has literally zero bearing on the actual plot.
TrekMovie […] asked if she is ready to lead the much-discussed Star Trek: Legacy spin-off
Much-discussed but still to be officially verified.
IMO they need to jettison at least Jack Crusher and his Jedi lineage for that show to be even theoretically tolerable. Terry Matalas really showed with Picard s3 that he has no flair for Trek.
- I don't think the actor was bad. Having him be a doctor on Legacy (he is a doctor, right?) would be a good use of the actor and the character's past without having it be the focus of the show.
Omgz she kissed a girl thats a major plot point
- Gaaaaaaaaaayayyyyyyyyy _/s
