    The writing on Picard was fucking awful.

    Strange New Worlds is the first (live action) trek series since Voyager worth the time, but we'll see how it goes after the show bible ends in a few episodes and they start winging it.

    • show bible?
      Why does everyone hate Picard that much? Can't Star Trek be new? I'm sure everyone will hate Strange New Worlds in about a month too.      CyBrainX
    • Voyager's first three years before 7 of 9 was the worst Star Trek television aside from the original series season 3 but was much better after that.CyBrainX
    • SNW is nice, its more episodic. I'm tired of those bulky arcstank02
    • A show bible usually lays out the first half of the first season. After that new writers and new storylines can be introduced and the vision/direction lost.i_monk
    • Can I apply for that job?CyBrainX
    • Trek can be new but it has to be well-written. Picard was sub-Xena Warrior Princess.i_monk
    • And I'll say it: Brent Spiner and Wil Wheaton are terrible actors.i_monk
    • The thing that use to bother me about the episodic shows is that they would churn out so many filler episodes in the holodeck, and horse riding dwarves.CyBrainX
    • It wasn't the episodic storytelling, it was the length of the seasons needed for syndication. That's how you get filler.i_monk
    • Re: Wil Wheaton. Apparently h thought this was necessary, At his age:Nairn

    • Oh, come on. Picard was a self-indulgent shit sandwich. I didn't bother watching the season finale.Continuity
    • ^^The captions are the best.i_monk
    • Picard Season 1 was tolerable. But season 2 is a slog. Boring, and borderline ridiculous at times.ETM
    • Strange New Worlds is pretty tight - nods to the 60's show are everywhere, from the funky coloured console buttons to the sound design.face_melter
    • They even have the pulsing 'alert' graphic used in the films. Hugely enjoyable show so far.face_melter
    • People who like non-nineties Trek are new to Trek. Non-nineties Trek is missing the point of Trek.jagara
    • Never really watched TOS, I admit.jagara
    • @face Oh! Oh! Time for me to be a Trek pedant! That alert graphic was never in TOS. It was first seen in The Motion Picture (1979).Continuity
    • Now I hate myself for even saying it.Continuity
    • Also ... I just re-read your comment. You said films, and not TOS.
      I hate myself twice.
      Carry on.      Continuity
