       I wrote off Picard when they killed him off and replaced him with an elderly android. Give me a break.

       @lauren Indeed, but the payoff in Season 3 makes the slog through S1 and S2 worth it

       @knova You&#39;re kidding, right? The Borg. Again? AGAIN? A G A I N? Season 3 is just dripping with fan service, little more.

       @lauren I was disappointed at that reveal, yes. But I liked the first eight episodes. And yes, I’m a sucker for the fan service - you know what you are getting with Picard. If you want the non-fan service Trek, Strange New Worlds is coming back soon…

       @knova Believe me, having working on the first Trek film (ST:TMP) I know about fan service.

       @lauren To be fair, Stewart was getting old, and the animatronic version is actually less stiff than the original. I support the change.

       @lauren The first 2 seasons were good. They explored a different story line than the traditional ST.  Then they went to full-on retread of the ST:NG series. I gave up

       @lauren that should have been the end of it - him dying. A suitable exit for the second of Patrick Stewart&#39;s most iconic characters, after Professor X passed away in &#39;Logan&#39;.

       @lauren I assumed they did that to explain away him surviving an incurable brain condition. Funny now that the incurable brain condition is an integral part of the season 3 plot line.
