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.
