Such standards as are applied here. Spoilers ahoy. The good? Patrick Stewart is great in it. It is genuinely lovely to see him in Picard’s skin again. He’s a fucking fantastic actor. The rest is a bit shit. It is fairly clear that the writers didn’t know how to continue TNG, so what we have for the first twenty minutes is exposition of what the Federation has become since the Romulan supernova. Earth is so far removed from the world we saw in All Good Things, the last TNG episode which actually does feature Picard at around this time of his life. I actually found the initial part promising, but by the time we got to the end of the episode, and we’d had the Irish Romulan, and the Romulan that sounded like a bored dad from Reading wearily returning home, it was all too clear what this show is going to be. Another pretty vacant Star Trek series, action led with stuff moving so fast that nothing has any time to breath. I could just about handle these LOST writers creating their own Trek universe. I’m not really up for watching them destroy long established canon. Wank. ---

I don’t know how serious this is supposed to be but I get the sense that he didn’t actually watch any of the program or if he did he was high on something when he was watching it. And his view has been rendered irrelevant due to his views on Discovery… ---

Discovery S1 was great. S2 was utter balls unless you park your brain in neutral and have no knowledge of rudimentary science. The whole point of Star Trek is making you think about what you’ve just seen. These series are just making me think “why the fuck are these fucking LOST writers having anything to do with Star Trek?” S1 of Discovery was decent because they had other people running the show.
