Hi, I enjoyed watching all the new Star Trek, but I’m not sure its as re-watchable and memorable as 90’s Trek. I think it all looks great visually, but some of the story lines don’t seem that well thought out, especially as you said with the end of Picard season 1. Then again the first season of most the series wasn’t their best, so there’s always room for improvement.

Have high hopes for Strange New Worlds too, who doesn’t love Captain Pike. The way the producers are talking about the show suggests it could be the great optimistic vision of the future that I always loved about Star Trek.

Also really looking forward to the new series of Discovery coming soon, the time jump should give us the chance to see some things we haven’t seen before.

Yes, I agree. 90’s Trek is so far the best Trek, better thought out (for the most part) and thus a greater story overall.

Regarding Picard, as you say, many series are not at their best on the first season. I was discussing the other day that it is sad that many series are dropped after one or two seasons, and many have a lot of potential. But because they don’t win big quickly, they are dropped. TNG was definitely not the best on its first season, nor DS9, but I would rate both higher than Picard’s first season. Though I still will gladly be watching the second season of Picard, with Guinan back reportedly I am greatly anticipating what is in store for her.

Many series spend the first season at least finding their foothold, what works better, and what doesn’t.

That is also what I love about what they are suggesting about Strange New Worlds, seeing the more optimistic sand bright future that Star Trek inspired in me as a child.

I have finally managed to find an unblocked trailer for Discovery season three, and it definitely looks to be fascinating, and as it is due to come out in October a birthday present for me 🙂

Thank you for your insight.
