Topic | Is Star Trek Picard worth watching? |
Tom Clark 08/31/21 6:30:30 AM #17: | I didnt mind it tbh. Its not great by any means, and there are certainly valid criticisms to be had ( The main criticism I see thrown at it is that its too gritty and dark compared to TNG, the series as a whole feels a lot darker than much of TNG in places, but its one single story basically a ten-parter. TNG got pretty dark in its two-parters, too, until the story was wrapped up on a more optimistic note (thinking Best of Both Worlds as the prime example) the manner Speaking of, I really liked the new crew, too, apart from Agnes, who is pretty just Alison Pill doing her usual awkward neuroticism, only this time IN SPACE. Pill aside, in terms of performance this is probably the best ensemble that a Trek show has had Stewart especially is definitely putting in a really strong performance. It absolutely should have been shorter/tighter, the effects at the end got lazy, and theres a much derided plot development at the end (that I will slightly defend by saying that they were written into a bit of a corner by TNG for it, but its still so fucking stupid), but its not awful, and I do find myself looking forward to the second story. --- ...
