Star Trek: Picard Season Two has received its first official trailer.



Streaming exclusively on Paramount+ beginning Thursday, March 3, Star Trek: Picard’s second season will seemingly attempt to top the fan-favorite admiral’s initial journey out of retirement with a new time-traveling adventure and testing him against returning adversaries such as the godlike Q, played by John de Lancie. Patrick Stewart, who is reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, will be joined by other recognizable cast members that include Jeri Ryan and Brent Spiner.









“Season two takes the legendary Jean-Luc Picard and his crew on a bold and exciting new journey: into the past,” Paramount+ confirmed in a brief synopsis for the next chapter of its streaming series based on Gene Roddenberry’s long-running science fiction franchise.

Meh made it like 2 episodes... It was meh. Discovery is quite alright.
 
Picard is definitely worse than Discovery, but the latter isn't a good show either. I'm sick of Kurtzman Trek. It needs to die off already.
 
I made it as far into picard as I did into discovery. The first episode. The first episode of discovery was worse than picard's, but from what I've heard they both get even worse with time.

This trek is not for star trek fans, it's for "the message" fans. I've no interest in how they ruin the character of Q after they throughly ruined Picard, Data, and 7of9.

I've heard from people that watched the whole first season that they can't even watch TNG anymore without getting nauseous. At least discovery is crap on it's own, you can ignore it, it isn't dragging a whole legacy through the mud.

I've seen all of Picard and Discovery up through the completion of season 2. The fact is, Picard is worse than Discovery for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is the one you pointed out. It more actively damages the Star Trek legacy than Discovery does. Although, it does plenty of that by turning Spock into an emo hipster who wants to have sex with his adopted sister.

Picard is also worse for a number of other reasons but the big one is its boring. Discovery isn't good but it's better paced and the action, while nonsensical at times makes it easier to watch than Picard is. Then there are the overly derivative plots Picard uses and the cheap visual effects. STD, while a piece of ****, at least has a decent budget and doesn't come across as cheap. It's just badly written.
 
Finally. I have been waiting for this to come out.

I enjoyed the first season if Picard. Can't wait to see what happens next.
 
Red lobster dumpster on a hot summer day.

That's what Piccard is.

To each their own I guess. Picard basically got the Rian Johnson Luke Skywalker / Last Jedi Treatment. The plots were derivatives of a video game and a totally different science fiction property and it was about as paced as old people ****ing after a double hip replacement.

When it came time for the show to do something bold besides give us TNG cameo sequences, it failed miserably and what they ended up doing plot wise made about as much sense as a choose your own adventure story written by a drunken teenage fan-fiction writer.
 
Never been luch into Star trek, I watched most of Discovery on Netflix more out of boredom, but it was not that bad imo though some weird casting choices.

Never been into TNG so going to avoid this.

If you've never been into Star Trek, then the newer stuff like Discovery wouldn't be as bad. You would be unaware of the monumental cock ups with continuity and the way it ****s on legacy characters or tries too hard to bank on nostalgia. The lack of substance of the newer stories doesn't sting as bad when you aren't invested in the franchise.

I grew up watching Star Trek and wished I liked the deluge of Star Trek material we've gotten over the last couple of years. Unfortunately, it's so bad its offensive to me.
 
I've never been a huge fan, although I have watched most of the material - mostly just as mindless entertainment

Discovery drives me up the wall in the latest seasons. It seems too sugar coated; Star Trek has always been a big proponent of projecting a "more perfect society" where humanity manages to get over itself and find better ways to do things, but external forces keep us from reaching that utopian plane. Discovery takes it just a bit too far I think, and it feels artificial, almost Pollyanna-ish.

Picard I didn't mind so much, wasn't great, wasn't horrible.

The biggest problem with Picard is the way it treats the main character.

You could very well be right. I did watch TNG and the latter movies, but I never paid them too much mind. All I can really remember of Picard are "Make it so" and that one scene in the Nemesis (?) where a pretty aged Picard is wrestling a Romulan with no shirt on and I think "How much has he paid to a personal trainer just to make a vanity shot with no shirt on after he became a AARP member".

It's pretty much the same problem as what we saw with Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi. The character's portrayal is inconsistent with its established behavior and what we see comes across as nonsensical fan-fiction. The man we see in Picard isn't the same one we saw in TNG. The show also provides insufficient reason for the change in the character.

This is a very well established character that's had growth and change over the course of several seasons of TV and across four movies. Literally all of that has been undone and walked back without justification. What we have is a character that can't be reconciled with his history. The show doesn't just do that with Picard either, but Seven of Nine as well.

There are tons of other narrative problems with the show as well, but that's more than I care to get into at the moment. It's a bad show for a number of reasons but its treatment of the Picard character is the number one reason why I won't watch anymore of it. I gave season 1 its fair shot and it's worse than Star Trek Discovery. I know its not as hated as STD is, but in my opinion, it's far worse.
