Yeah, really.

As much as I've enjoyed Seasons 1 and 2, sharing this clip makes me question the sense of the showrunners.

That was the most cliffhangery cliffhanger since Best of Both Worlds, and this is the first promotional material for the next season we see?

Could you imagine that summer, where you don't know what is going to happen to Picard and Riker is about to destroy the cube, and you have to wait for months on end to see what happens, then the first thing you see is a muddy Jean Luc and Robert drunk singing songs?

I had a few disappointments with Picard S3, but S2 was mainly terrible. There was a little bit of good exposition/character stuff with Picard's childhood. I didn't take away anything else that was worth doing. I guess the tying together Travellers and Observers and Wesley. But that was totally tacked on in a way that made no sense. Same with the former really. Q made the Federation into a xenophobic hell so that Picard could go back the 21st century to come to terms with his 24th century childhood? What now?

I mean, it wouldn't SURPRISE me. I feel like the only one that thought Picard S3 wasn't really any better than S2.

Not quite the only one. I always felt like people were suddenly a lot more willing to let little things slide, accept the story on its own terms, etc. now that it was about Beverly and Worf instead of Jurati and Elnor.

Picard s3 spoilers

Well, the cast was better than previous seasons. No offense, but these are legendary actors and characters that we have 40+ years with. Still, the Worf parts were the worst parts of S3. Until he got to the Titan, his parts were meh. The crime world stuff was meh to me. Beverly was awesome throughout the season. Loved that she figured a way to save the Titan. The fact that she and Picard have a kid together is freaking awesome. Jack was a great example of how to bring a new character, and I am totally shipping him with Sidney "Crash" LaForge. Speaking of another new character, she was amazing in this season, as was captain Shaw, who would have made a great addition to the Star Trek Legacy cast. Laforge and Data were great in this series, and you really feel their friendship, and Data's evolution is finally completed. That final episode was epic too. Enterprise D, heading to destroy the last refuge of the Borg and stop their take over of the Federation. Picard's speech about running from the collective for half his life was great and at the end I still tear up when Riker says, "We'll be waiting for you, me and our boy" when he is on the exploding station.


Seven being the new captain of the new Enterprise is great, and I really hope that they eventually pick up on that Star Trek Legacy that they left it hanging with.

Interesting examples, since Jurati and Elnor were barely in S2.

I wanted to be interested in Elnor, but I didn't feel like they ever explained why he was in the show at all. Nothing Jurati ever did was interesting to me. I REALLY dug bringing back Hugh and then they killed him. I could've watched for Cristobal and his ending worked out okay, but it isn't what I would have done. Raffi's best stuff was in Season 3.

Jurati didn't do anything interesting until she was half borg. Remember when she flat out murdered that innocent guy? And everyone is like hey don't do that again.

Elnor was interesting enough, but he got no screen time in S3 and barely any in S2. Champion of hopeless causes is a great character type, and I hate that got discarded.

Rios, didn't really work for me in either season.

It was cool seeing Seven of Nine again, but it was weird how it made it look like Picard knew her on the Titan. Did they meet in beta canon material. And what was with this Picardss old body thing?

The Voyager crew was pretty famous upon their return, and Picard was also a very high-profile individual until he left Starfleet. It's almost guaranteed he'd have met Seven at various functions over the years.

The first season ended with Picard’s soul, consciousness, whathaveyou implanted into an Android body.

An Android body his “friends” downgraded to make EXACTLY THE SAME as the feeble human body he just died in.

For reasons.

If you jump you might get close to finding the joke. :p

I think a scene in Season 1 was explicitly their first time meeting, but they'd known of each other before, of course.

Except without iromodic syndrome, which it turns out the old body didn't have either.

There were a lot of dumb ideas and good ideas in Star Trek: Picard, but I'm actually pretty proud of them for coming up with the idea that a Borg modification had looked like iromodic syndrome (or perhaps really caused the syndrome in an atypical way).

I like to think that it caused it, as that is what killed him.


Still, Daith was joking about Picard not knowing Seven on the Titan, as the post above was stating that there was only one season of PIcard (Season 3).

I am not conversant on the medical terminology and of course it is a fictional illness. I guess that a syndrome is a set of symptoms and if you have the symptoms you have the syndrome and it doesn't imply a cause. I just refreshed my memory and future Picard had the syndrome and so he asked Dr Crusher in the "present" and she scanned and found a structural defect in his parietal lobe that could lead to Irumodic Syndrome.
