Star Trek: Picard has been (and presumably gone) with season 3 bringing the band back together for one last crazy big story. From what I see (eg Rotten Tomatoes), it’s been well received by both critics and fans. I’m afraid this leaves me as an outlier — I thought it a spectacularly well-produced of over-contrived fanfic, noted only for the possibly emergence of a Seven of … Continue reading Picard season 3 — some thoughts
SPOILER ALERT — don’t read if you’ve not watched Star Trek: Picard season 3 yet, though if you’re that bothered, you’ve probably seen it already! Here’s the question — what to call Seven of Nine’s spinoff series? Will there be a Seven of Nine (7of9) series? For all the faults (I’ve yet to write my thoughts down) or otherwise with Picard season 3, it crammed … Continue reading What will Seven of Nine’s Star Trek spinoff be called?
One of the highlights for February is Picard season 3 (which I still hope we get in the UK on Prime Video). While we wait for the 16th, here’s a full trailer to enjoy — plenty of familiar faces, some humour and more than a little sense of doom for some of the characters. Continue reading Picard season 3 official trailer
Paramount recently revealed a new poster for Star Trek: Picard season 3, and confirmed the start date for February 16. I’m assuming we’ll get the show in the UK via Prime Video as per the previous two seasons (and Lower Decks). The article linked also contains some information on the new season as well and there are also suggestions maybe it’s not the end for … Continue reading Picard season 3 — poster reveal for “final” season
One of may things we learned from Star Trek Day 2022 (if you weren’t otherwise engaged with the sad events proceeding at Balmoral) was the date for Star Trek: Picard season 3, the final season. It arrives in the US on Paramount February 16, 2023. I’m assuming we in the UK may still get it on Prime Video the same day. The trailer starts with … Continue reading Picard — final season date and teaser trailer
While (for me) the most interesting Star Trek news from SDCC 2022 was the unexpected crossover, I do like a good piece of art, and the posters for Star Trek: Picard season 3 work for me. You can read a little bit more in the official summary. LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd star … Continue reading Star Trek: Picard season 3 character posters
Several Star Trek reveals on Day 3 of SDCC 2022, including a surprise crossover! There’s coverage of Picard season 3 (7of9 is now an officer, Geordi a parent, but the big news (even if we need a Paramount+ account to watch) is an unexpected crossover… It’s the crossover you’d be hard-pressed to guess — Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds in a Jonathan Frakes directed … Continue reading Surprise Star Trek crossover announced at SDCC
Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard comes to an end with the appropriately titled Farewell. I’ve had plenty of reservations across previous episodes (starting here) and still feel the same complaints have merit — too many characters, too clunky, too much nostalgic casting, so what but at least it comes together. It’s even vaguely coherent! By its own bootstraps Too many time travel stories end … Continue reading Picard 2-10: Farewell — some thoughts
The penultimate episode of Picard season 2 let me more disappointed than pleased. While there were several interesting moments, most of it seemed like filler, and very one-dimensional at that. It adds to my sense this whole season is very padded. Meanwhile, Picard et al are facing a small challenge following on from last week’s Mercy in the form of a dominant Borg Queen with … Continue reading Picard 2-09: Hide and Seek — some thoughts
With Star Trek: Picard episode 2-9 Mercy the season builds tension towards the final two parts. For a change most of the core team had something to do, though in the case of Rios it’s mostly cake and romance whilst waiting to determine the Borg Queen is up to something bad. Things I liked Pacing seemed better and we got progression on most threads (even … Continue reading Picard 2-08 Mercy — some thoughts
Season 2 rolls along, and this latest episode, Monsters, splits into two — inside Picard’s mind and outside. There are plenty of monsters (depending on your definition) but, like many previous episodes, not a lot for most people to do. Picard is trapped inside his own mind after last time, allowing us the chance to meet young Picard, his mother and a therapist. First there’s … Continue reading Star Trek: Picard 2-07 Monsters — some thoughts
We’ve a glut of Star Trek news at present (eg the trailer for Strange New Worlds) and now we have a cast reveal for season 3 of Picard. It seems the bulk of the core cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation are onboard — we’ve had Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes and Whoopi Goldberg, now we get the others. Mostly. No sign of … Continue reading Picard season 3 is a Next Gen reunion — but where’s Wesley?
