I know! Been bitten too many times to not still be a little nervous, but that whole first arc was really quite good. It's still not 100% of the time, but Picard actually feels like the character most of the time now, which is great. And the emotional conversations feel earned, rational, and human. Instead of everyone acting like children with emotional intensity dialed up to 11 at all. times.
And look, Star Trek. Look how much more enjoyable smaller encounters are with capital ships. Riker
was so much more satisfying than any of the incomprehensible effect messes at the end of Discovery season 2 or Picard season 1. Keep doing this.
The first four episodes also have a nice little contained 'arc' that resolved in a satisfying way. IMAGINE! Instead of throwing 7,000 plot ideas at the wall and only continuing whichever one serves best to end the current episode on a cliffhanger. And Shaw, even if a dick, manages to be a well-rounded character the likes of which everyone from season 1 could only dream of being.
I'm sorry to keep couching my praise in complaints about the other seasons/shows, but it's so hard to believe that has most of the same writing staff from season 2. It's so different, and oh so much better. Please keep it up the rest of the way, show.

If I can be taken as a quote “expert,” having watched ST for about 3.5 decades now, I would concur. It *is* good shit and it makes me wonder why it took so long for NuTrek to get here.In my non-expert opinion, the most recent episode was good shit

Ep 5 continues in not disappointing. Clearly, the writers of S3 decided to do the time-honored task renowned the world over as "their homework."

Perfect.We all knew that's what would be in the bay, but I confess to kinda wishing it had been the E. I just like that ship and it never got a chance to feel like a home for the characters and this show would have been a nice chance for that had the whole series gone a different way.
But I'm not gonna pretend it wasn't great to see the D, and I'm glad they at least acknowledged the E and Worf calling out that it would have made more sense, offensively, to be going up against the fleet.
Rebuilding the set was impressive, but my main thought as they filed in was "Now I KNOW this ship has lights inside."
Waiting for it like

Just finished S3E10.
I enjoyed this ending

Not sure this needed a post-credits type stinger though.
The Borg Queen looking all creepy alien freako like was dope.
Troi copying Empire Strikes Back there at the end lmao
Didn't expect the Titan to become the Enterprise-G. But with the Constitution throwback design I guess it was almost obvious. Seven being the captain is cool.
Little disappointed they didn't do the Star Trek VI thing with the signatures but I read somewhere they didn't do it because Avengers: Endgame beat them to it?
The credits rolling over them playing poker was great though.

I was not expecting this season to be this good. The last two were lackluster. I tried to like them, I really did, but in the end, I was disappointed. This season, however, is marvelous. It feels like the best of old times and new times. I think that's the only way I can describe it, lol.
I haven't finished it yet, so here's to hoping it's an awesome ride all the way to the end!

It's night and day. Hard to believe any of the same writers were involved in the first two seasons as this season.
