Carol Kane will be the new chief engineer on SNW. :wub:

I love Carol Kane - but she's pretty ancient at this point (yup - 70 years old).

Hopefully there'll be a hallucination scene where she beats pike with random objects.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Younger than I would have thought.
PDH!

Slowly watching through strange new worlds.
I haven't seen all of TOS so it's hard to know when stuff is meant to be a prequel for that vs just having a weird open ending.
Just finished an episode about aliens somehow living on a volcano world (is it their home world or...?) with a child sacrifice machine. Really feels like a prequel. No ending. Apparently not however.

I would hope, by ST's time, technology would make 70 the new 30.

Picard season 3 is supposedly actually really good. The "Undiscovered Country" for the TNG era.

Undiscovered Country is perhaps my favourite Trek movie, so that's high praise.

But the review is also on trekmovie.com - hardly unbiased.

I kind of liked season 1, but didn't even bother to watch season 2.  So we'll see.

Good for you, season 2 was possibly the worst season of TV Trek I've ever watched. And I've only missed Enterprise.

The most recent season of Discovery holds that accolade.
It lost its course towards the end but series 2 of Picard was pretty good, beat series 1.

Both seasons one and two had their good moments and their not-so-good moments. I actually preferred two to one. But I look forward to three.

Indeed.
But Jonathan Frakes' acting bothers me more than during TNG's run.

Yes. You want to smack that silly grin off him.
