In which we get a two-parter where the second part is a bit of a letdown, and when you think about it, isn't that the most TNG thing of all?

Star Trek Picard: 1x07 (Nepenthe)
Mar. 8th, 2020 03:38 pmIn which I could really go for a pizza right about now.

Star Trek Picard: 1x04 (Absolute Candor)
Feb. 15th, 2020 03:51 pmOn the plus side, this week's episode referenced Spot, had an old-school Bird of Prey, and Romulan Warrior Nuns. On the negative, this was our first episode without Laris and Zhaban, so I have to mark it down for that...

Star Trek Picard: 1x02 (Maps and Legends)
Jan. 31st, 2020 07:32 pmA bit of a step down from last week, but still excellent. I am a little worried that with all the pieces being put into play that the show will struggle to come up with a satisfying resolution for everything; that has, after all, been Discovery's constant weak spot.
( Romulans. So predictably treacherous... )

Star Trek Picard: 1x01 (Rememberance)
Jan. 24th, 2020 02:50 pmWell, that was very impressive. I don't like to get my hopes up, but if they can maintain that level of quality, this will be more than worthy as a continuation of Picard's story and the TNG universe.
