I'm currently rewatching it, and at first I admit I hated the season and didn't understand all the praise it got, but on this second viewing, I am actually warming up a bit to it. It still is deeply flawed, with a lot of things that don't make sense or could have been done better, but I kinda like it regardless. What do you think?

It's a lot better than season 1 or 2. But its still no where near where even season 1 of tng was.

I just want an optimistic view of humanity's future where they do moral plays on the problems of today. And so far in all 3 seasons of picard they've failed that.

@startrekexplained @keeb420 I forced my way through PIC S1 last year but abandoned it when I discovered SNW. I cannot with chaotic plot arcs threaded everywhere and shoehorned cliffhangers that turn out to be insignificant. TNG/SNW tell a complete story per-episode with some wider arcs holding seasons together. That works and is the only trek I can enjoy. The PIC/DISC format invites lazy writing and breaks suspension of disbelief, which is needed to appreciate trek.
