You know, that thing that happened in the last season? No one remember? Crusher is located at the edge of Federation space. Picard needs a ship that can travel at warp 9.99 so that he can reach her in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks. Even though Crusher warned him not to involve Starfleet, the only ship nearby that can do this is the Titan. The writers had all the pieces they needed, they just failed to put them together.

This makes sense if you simply assume that each season of Picard is in a different universe, each exploring a different what if scenario following catching up with Picard 20 years after Nemesis. Nothing in the previous two seasons happened or matters in this one. Raffi was always

If Riker and Android Picard had chartered a ship, then the show runners would have no reason to use the Titan-A/Stargazer bridge set they spent all of their allowance on, right? You gotta have a bridge set for the core Star Trek stuff like leaving space dock and getting to say 'engage' when you go to warp, having the daughter of a famous character fly the ship. That's like the core Star Trek right there...

Or they could have just not done Season 2 and kept everyone in the roles they started with at the beginning of Season 2 on the Stargazer and it would have solved a lot these problems. But I'm not Terry Matalas, Master Storyteller.

I hope they never bring up the fact that picard is now a synthetic golem. Probably best to put all that romulan sword elf and mass effect rip off bullshit behind as well. Just seems odd that everyone would forget that the federation just made peace with a faction of borg, ones that can traverse space and time... who might be able to reach that edge of federation space faster than even the titan... but oh well.

Again, I've never seen another TV show that was literally just three different TV shows stapled together by a shared title and main actor like Picard. Each season is actively at war with every choice made by the previous season(s). I'm surprised there wasn't active donnybrook fistfights in the writers room over this poo poo. Like I'm picturing Michael Chabon with Terry Matalas's fat goony head in a headlock just pummelling him with a stapler until he's dragged away by security because Matalas told him they were deleting Zhaban from the story or something.

Season 2 is going to be an endless string of "Where the hell is [previously star billed character on the show]?" They all get left behind in various bars. I'm not joking.

I could only get like halfway through season 1, didn't even watch season 2, and so far 1 episode in on season 3, I don't feel like theres a single thread or element i'm missing. It feels like season 1 of a new show is what I mean, the last 2 seasons of the show aren't even apparently required viewing to start watching it.

The thing that confused me the most in Picard was them retconning best of both worlds for seemingly no reason. Now they fought a computer virus offscreen, and Beverly encoded her secret message to Picard with this thing he wasn't even there for? Am I not understanding this or something.

I wonder if the reason we didn't see the other TNG cast earlier was because the actors could command a huge salary. After all, no one else could play them and this would be their biggest payday. I mostly hate the re-hash reference fest that is modern star wars, so I respected Picard S1's choice to go somewhere completely different with it, it is just disappointing the direction they went down was so poorly written.
