Star Trek Picard and Strange New Worlds

[Josephus]

I am just still bitter that Picard is breaking the Trek formula.

Explain

The episodes are not self contained. There is no fun episode arc, only a season arc.

Discovery is a bit like that too.

I think that is just Discovery/Picard sharing in the overall trend in television shows that have moved to longer/season arcs instead of episodic plots.  Nothing unique here.

Agreed.  And it helps that I prefer this form of story telling.  I much prefer the Expanse/B5/Discovery season/multiseason arc.  If you want self contained episodes only connected by different things happening to the same people every episode then this is not for you.

If you like more in depth story telling, this is definitely for you.

It's boring, guys. You are allowed to say it.

Yep. My brother dislikes it and he's an ST addict. That's enough for me to steer clear.

patience is required.
Not many sci fi shows were great on their first few episodes.

[Josephus]

Liked the last episode.  Even had a contained story within the arc.
Disappointed Seven's not going to be a regular.

[Grey Fox]

Unsurprisingly, I liked this one.

Same here.  I thought it would end boringly, in a Startrekish kind of way, but I was pleasantly surprised

I don't understand. Why would anybody read a thread called Star Trek Picard and be surprised to see people discussing the show?

Just surprised at people not using spoiler tags for episodes that were released just a day or two ago.
The Star Wars thread looks like the Mueller Report, what's different here?

See, I haven't been inside the Star Wars thread because I'm the one guy here who hasn't seen it yet

But yeah, fair enough.
