It is all decent 'disengage-brain-and-watch' stuff - I've watched all the Star Trek tv series and films...Picard does seem to have me questioning why I am though - each episode finishes and I'm thinking 'glad that is over...however, I need to see the next one to find out what unfolds!' - so I'm my own worst enemy with this stuff.
I watched Discovery until it went to a subscription service - that one really wasn't great, but as I'd started it, I had to see it through.
Lower Decks I do find the most enjoyable of the recent stuff, I think because it is a cartoon then I'm fine with it being 'odd'
I won't be watching the new Star Trek stuff, all this stuff despite clearly being watchable for me does feel like it is raking over old coals and trying to flesh out back stories...which will no doubt attract a whole new audience which is a good thing.
ION, I just tripped over this. Brent Spiner is a magnificent lunatic.

It went to a free subscription service, didn't it?
won’t be watching the new Star Trek stuff,
Brave New Worlds is enjoyable enough.
Credit where it's due though, the best Trek in years has been the last series of The Orville.
And how many Borg queens are out there?
One on each Borg ship.....?
9 episodes in my original assumptions from ep1 are holding true - just seems to be an series of reunions of characters and things from Next Gen rather than an actual decent stand-alone series. Watchable but unmemorable.
It went to a free subscription service, didn’t it?
Don't think so, it was removed from Prime (admittedly you pay for that but it is bundled with the Amazon package) and I think, did it not, then get moved to Paramount or some other streaming service that needed paying for...
Cleverly, I've assumed Amazon Prime was 'free' in my initial statement as I don't consider the £8 a month to Amazon is for the streaming as that is just an included part. Son having to pay for another subscription service meant it went from available to not available.
Warning, plot spoiler from deep space 9.
Don't watch this unless your most of the way through series 3.
I bet Worf regrets stopping Garek who just might be in my top 3 favourite characters of all time on star trek. Not bad for a tailor. I think the episode where they try to plant evidence and Garek just blows the ship up is one of the best episodes ever.
I also want a section 31 spin off.
I don't think Garek died in the end, would love them to shoe horn him into Picard.
I also want a section 31 spin off.
Been announced today. Movie, not series.
@DickBarton Tasha Yar has made an appearance in this. Early on some main character was holding a cube with a hologram projecting out of it while reminiscing. The hologram was Yar.
Edit it was Data

I believe that's my coat.
Yeah, I wasn't counting that as it wasn't a speaking part...hahahaha
No spoilers, but the finale sticks the landing perfectly, IMO. Enjoy.
(And if you think Terry Matalas did a decent job with this series, another plug for his '12 Monkeys', which I've strongly recommended on STW a few times.)
Watching it tonight...absolutely certain I'll be thinking 'Glad that is now done and dusted'...but then be thinking it is a shame as despite me complaining about it I've enjoyed it.
I thought it was aired on a Thursday but I checked at 21:10 and it wasn't available, so hoping it will be this evening.
IMO they did a good job of laying the Generation crew to rest and bringing in a new Enterprise crew.
Just watched the finale. Really enjoyed that. All the feels.
Aye, that'll do! Very good.
Admittedly I'm rather late to this party but I finally got round to starting this last night - have they decided season 2 was so rubbish they should just forget it ever happened it or do...
S2 Spolier
(a) reincarnated random space ninja make a reappearance? (b) did the huge never before seen spacial anomaly that needed a whole fleet plus the Dr's good borg just get forgotten? (c) it's clearly to do with locutis which means bad borg (or rather it's alien resurrection style) are behind it all, what happened to good borg? (d) does Picard just wake up in the shower wondering how his cybernetic body had arthritic hands)?
Hmmm seems
I've been on the look out for it but I dont know what channel it is on
Included in prime, I imagine also paramount if you pay for that but not prime

Don't really want to spoiler it, but just forget that S2 ever happened, sit back and enjoy it like an extended TNG+ movie with some decent extra characters.
but just forget that S2 ever happened
To be honest that's about the best possible outcome.
Though it's usually even numbered trek that's worth the effort

Yep good summary.. it’s a good enjoyable romp.
