It’s been great having an actual Star Trek show again.

Lower Decks is also great.

There have been 11 seasons “actual Star Trek” since 2017.

And those other Modern trek shows have been trying to do depressing serialized drama instead of the hopeful episodic Sci-fi stories that made star trek great.

So I’ll stand by my comment.

That’s fine. I disagree that they are depressing and see the spirit of hope and Star Trek in them with the exception of discovery’s first two seasons maybe. Also, 3 of the 5 shows are episodic not serialized.

Picard (spoilers) is dead at the end of his series and no one cares; they replaced him with an android, lol. There is no hope or care there.

Those shows are not great television, even before you get into their problems as Trek. SNE is thankfully a return to form. (And the person you were talking to was clearly meaning the live action shows when they said the other shows are serial, so the 3/5 thing is kinda petty for someone expressing their fondness for the positive spirit of Star Trek.)

For purposes of the show and universe It’s the same Picard. Just like Spock in movies 3-6, and tng is still referred to as Spock not some regenerated entity that had its memories placed into it. Technically the memories of of the original Spock died in wrath of khan

Not sure how factually stating 3 of the 5 shows are not completely serialized has anything to do with pettiness. I said there have been 11 seasons of trek. That person responded by saying they have been depressing serialized drama which is not accurate.
