    In between the ruminative Picard scenes are promising action sequences.

    A heavily serialized, densely plotted affair, one that only finally begins taking shape after the third episode.

    The show seeks to pull together notions of mythology, personal lore, and futuristic considerations of very modern problems, but often trips over itself in the process. But every time Picard was starting to lose me, there would be a spark of interest across the screen — a line, a gesture, a moment — that felt piercing and true.

    Picard has flashes of eccentricity, and any science-fiction show with a Miguel de Unamuno shoutout demands a quantum of hope. But for now, this is another disappointing Star Trek. Should we give it a chance? My advice: Disengage.

    Since the show is produced by the same people that brought STD on us, it is no surprise that this does not feel like Star Trek on may levels.Since the show is produced by the same people that brought STD on us, it is no surprise that this does not feel like Star Trek on may levels. Strip it of the characters named Picard and Data and get rid of the Starfleet insignia and the Bat'leth on the wall - and it is nothing more than a simple story of a bitter old man with a once better life, a standard textbook plot for first year's screenwriter’s school. But what disappoints even more is the fact that the first episode does not encourage you to want more, the writers did not manage that the viewers start to care about the characters and the events and it simple does not tell you why it is relevant and worth to watch. This is bad writing, period. On top of that, the show kind of looks cheap, no big bang to open with, the locations shots do not convey the look of the 24th century at all. The inside of the borg cube seems to be a rip-off from an old STD set. If this first episode marks the level of quality the procedures can come of with, I rather have an Earl Grey - the real one, not the decaf stuff Jean-Luc drinks now.

    The 1 point I give is for Dinero who does a hell of a job playing Number One.    … Full Review »

    After bringing you „how to **** with every aspect of Star Trek – Discovery” we bring you “omg what happened here again – Picard”. Even PatrickAfter bringing you „how to **** with every aspect of Star Trek – Discovery” we bring you “omg what happened here again – Picard”. Even Patrick Stewart can’t save this mess. The treasured memory of Star Trek is now overshadowed by the wave of new movies and shows that have at best nothing to do with Star Trek and at worst introduce or change elements that are far form the original. Iam officially done with the “new” Star Trek.… Full Review »

    sadly the sleek cinematography is undermined by a fairly clumsy story line, a convulated plot and clichés. Very underwhelming.
