To be honest, we’ve already given up on the idea that this is going to happen. The first season of “Star Trek: Picard”, which was supposed to be Patrick Stewart’s spectacular television comeback in the shoes of his immortal character, You started so well And it ended so badly. She did bring the clumsy nineties cinematography and tacky effects of “The Next Generation” the modern update they desperately needed, but in all other aspects she just couldn’t recreate her charm and interest. That season ended with a glorious crash of all the interesting plot twists that were opened up in its first few episodes, and all the aging Turks were left disappointed.
But now intriguing signals are being received from overseas – the third season of “Picard” (the second passed relatively quietly, it must be said) is receiving good reviews, even very good, and critics who have already seen the entire season are even talking about a big twist in its sequel. So is it possible that the third season of “Picard” is-is the wonderful reunion season of “The Next Generation” that we were promised, and (almost) everyone is there – Data (Brent Spiner was already part of the cast in the previous seasons), Riker, Worf and also Dr. Crusher , who finally gets to be the badass we always knew she could be.
So it’s true, we’ve been disappointed with her in the past. But “Star Trek: The Next Generation” is not just another series for us but a real piece of our personality in quite formative years, and yes, we remember very well how we felt about the first season at the beginning and how we felt about it at the end. But we are ready to take another risk because you know, there is a situation that this time it is real.
The third season of “Star Trek: Picard” is broadcast on Amazon Prime (with Fremont+)
