The last episode of #Picard season 2 was finally really good, with a few awesome surprises.
#StrangeNewWorlds episode 1 was amazing! Anson Mount is perfect in the role as Pike. I’m looking forward to the rest of this season.
@ramsey Glad to know I'm not the only one who'd come away with the same opinions.
@ericmann Maybe my expectations are lower than others or I’m just happy to go along for the ride with characters I love, but I’m generally entertained by all the new series. I’m able to separate opinions and inconsistencies from my enjoyment of the stories.
@ericmann @ramsey Discovery has consistently.... confused me by its choice of direction, but that hasn't kept me from enjoying it. Trek is my jam. I will always be here for Trek.
Lower Decks is... not the style of humor I look for generally, but the little references and easter eggs make up for that. Plus, I loved Orville (which was a love letter to Trek) despite similar humor, so I ain't that fancy.
@ericmann @ramsey Paris always held such promise since we don't generally see actual convicted criminals (and how they're treated by 24th century Earth). His intro which showed a rehabilitation focused corrections system set up some world building
and later intersected the Maqui in interesting ways.
I think they didn't quite deliver on that promise long-term well enough, and we shall not speak of the transwarp episode, but he was fun enough.
Now... Harry Kim is underrated.
@ericmann I have enjoyed Lower Decks much more that I could ever have imagined.
