April 16, 20233 yr I actually loved the this week's episode. So nostalgic. All the TNG main cast together and Enterprise D! 😵
April 20, 20233 yr Author So final episode has aired, and for the first time in years (Besides strange new worlds) I enjoyed Star Trek again. I actually yelled "Holy" (you know what) at one point. And the epilogues and the final scene in the credits..... Dang! 😃 SPOILER! We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

April 21, 20233 yr Moderator The CGI sucks however. The modeling was rather pedestrian and the livery looks very dull and plastic. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

I thought season 1 and 2 were absolutely terrible and actually can't believe it's the same series. I know it was 100% nostalgia and fan service, but still loved it

Apart from the last one of course, which is one day later for us, will watch it tonight. Not keen on that shape shifter, smoking, antagonist to be honest, she annoys me.

I know it was 100% nostalgia and fan service, but still loved it One of the things I realized, is that like you said, I would watch many of these episodes again. On the other hand I can't think of a single episode of Star Trek discovery that I would be interested in watching a second time. Come to think of it I wasn't so keen on watching them the first time. And despite paying for the service I deliberately skipped a lot of the episodes (as I did with season 1 and 2 of Picard) What a turnaround! We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

April 21, 20233 yr It's hard to believe the same guy who created the awful mess that is Discovery, also created the very good Piccard. Probably the reason was the fan feedback from Disco. Also, maybe feedback from Rings of Power Season 1 will improve Season 2. Like for instance not having women in charge of everything. Galadriel even says her husband Celeborn is dead.
