He’s a different person at that age, definitely more careful, and he's aware that he doesn’t have all his former health, abilities or status - and that’s ok! He saves people, reconnects (and makes up) with old friends, and has a long-term relationship (maybe?). He’s doing pretty well!

Plus, he reminded Starfleet and the Federation a little of ideals.

All that, I found very hopeful and more effective as if neither Starfleet nor Picard had ever met failure.

Lol, sorry that was long!

Don't be sorry for your reply being long, it was clearly well thought out and considered. I agree on all the points you've made ... perhaps the majority of people here didn't like Picard 1 & 2 because it wasn't repeating the type of story telling that Star Trek has typically given, but was a whole new thing. People, generally, don't like change and I think in the current world there's comfort to be had in the "monster of the week" style 90s shows.

@7of9

Thank you.

Yes, I think so, too. Familiarity is comforting, and I also feel that episodic storytelling is comforting, because it’s reminiscent of my childhood, and because it introduces new, interesting concepts but sticks with a familiar structure. I just get value out of the other type of stories as well.

I am curious what they’ll do for a Picard movie - or a show of Seven and crew.
