Enterprise has an alternative take where one of the Vulcans eventually admits they're actually scared shitless of humans.

If I recall it's like Nog telling Quark about human financial history - by their standards, humans catch on to poo poo dangerously fast

I always read Riker forcing himself on Troi in that memory as representative of the violation-in-progress by the telepath, not a real memory. Riker turns into the telepath character in that scene, even.

We watched the DS9 episode Dramatis Personae, where everyone gets infected with a telepathic brain virus that turns them all into melodramatic scheming pricks and started laughing when we realized it had just turned them all into Discovery characters.

Did Riker replicate raw eggs, or did he get some from a real chicken at the last hillbilly colonist planet? Maybe five eggs was all he could get.

The last season is the TNG reunion nostalgia fest that (almost) everyone wanted Picard to be. It's not great, but it's at least par for "reunion specials" for old long canceled tv shows. The plot is nonsense but your old faves get together for one last adventure.

If you thought the last two Indiana Jones movies were good because hey look, Indiana Jones, you might like Picard season 3.

Because it is tonally closer to a post-9/11 anti-terrorism jackoff show than it is Star Trek, feels like it was written with active contempt for previous shows, and its plots are very very bad.

If you remember the DS9 episode where everyone gets infected by a mind virus that causes them to act as melodramatic scheming assholes from a fallen civilization that basically hated itself to death, the entire show is written like that on purpose

That is a real quote.

That and the "power of math" scene are just so... representative of the show as a whole
