    I dunno, her dropping the f bomb on Picard was pretty funny I thought. It was kinda interesting to see how the establishment had moved on from Picard as he was in his dotage, forcing him to move into unofficial channels to get his mission done.

    Yes, it was mostly shit, but there were some good bits here and there and I liked Clancy. She was a badmiral in classic Trek tradition.

    Season 3 was fun. The other seasons were awful, but 3 was pretty good imo. Sure it was just TNG fan service. But it was cool to get the band back together, and since Stewart can't be like running around in action scenes, they did these scenes where people just like sat together and acted which was IMO pretty fresh compared to a lot of shows that force all these effects and action scenes, at the expense of everything.

    i don't think a plot where young people are the problem and olds need to save the day from them is a good or appropriate star trek story

    good or appropriate

    That's a stretch. Its fine if there's something that put you off the series, that you don't "see yourself" in it, but I don't think its a form of intergenerational warfare.

    I won't deny there's a narrative emphasis on the competence of the older cast. But the antagonists were robots and shapeshifters (the changelings were scary AF) not young people. Its marketed to older fans of TNG.

    What do you think about Starfleet Academy? Younger cast, younger emphasis and appeal. Took a minute but I thought it got pretty good, I look forward to the next season and I'm bummed its getting cancelled. Prob has to do with Ellison and the right wing freaks in charge of Paramount. But ultimately, I found S3 to be much less reactionary of a narrative than the first two seasons.

    lol what? no i'm an old head. s3 of picard is literally about some bullshit that infects only young people. the next generation if you will. fucking wild for the tng capstone (even though All Good Things was perfect) to be built around that.

    it's not commentary on anything, it's anti- torch passing, still reactionary, and it parallels the ossification of government and culture that we're going through now.

    the only thing i know about academy is that someone ate their combadge and it was a common enough event to exasperate the doctor.
