Discovery statistically the worst trek series? sounds right

Also what episode of picard got a 9.4!?

The latest episode is at 9.3 so presumably that one when this was looked up. It will probably come down a bit but this season has been good. I don’t know if they’ll stick the landing though.

The showrunner this season is the guy who did the 12 Monkeys series, which I quite liked. If opinions I respect stay positive by the end, I'll actually watch it (and give SNW a shot while I'm there).

I wasn't going to. Four seasons of Discovery and Two of Picard and I'm all out of good will toward the thing I used to love.

I know I’m just another echo on Reddit but SNW is fantastic.

I did enjoy the nostalgia in seasons 1 and 2 of Picard but they really fumbled the conclusions to each season. Which is why I’m not proclaiming season 3 a success until it’s done.

I've heard that about SNW. The principle problem is the same with Seasons 2+ of LD: if I don't watch it, it's a nugget of potentially good Star Trek that, if I don't let it prove to me that it's bad, hypothetically might not be.

Honestly, I rather liked season 1 of Picard. It was a little wonky and the bits that weren't were basically Mass Effect with the serial numbers scrubbed off, but sure. (I've been trying to finish this thought about Picard, but I can't find a way to not be extremely unkind if I say anything else, so I'll stop there.)

Star Trek is just... not mine any more. It broke up with me. If Picard season 3 seems good, because I like this show runner theoretically, we'll get together and have a little fling, but that's about as far as I can take it.

I feel like the new episodes of Picard are getting skewed ratings just because this season is a lot better than the last two seasons. It's pretty good but I don't really think it's as good as the best episodes of Deep Space 9.

I see, interesting to hear season 3 of picard is better, I gave up halfway through season 2 just because it was so bad.

It is a lot better so far. I dislike the Raffi scenes (but a certain returning TNG character makes it a bit bearable), but everything else has been pretty great and feels more like old school TNG (not just because of all the returning cast). Strange New Worlds is still easily the best new trek imo.
