I didn't find much to like in the Picard show. Is Picard the hero of the show or was Soji (sp?)? For me it's that there is a hero is what was lost from earlier Trek shows. I didn't know it was planned as a 10 episode season, they didn't have enough story to fill ten episodes. The most nostalgic episode, number 7, was basically added in as filler, from an article I read. The plot was basically the same as the Mass Effect video game. I would have much preferred Picard meeting and overcoming the threat at the site the Romulans encountered it. I found the scenes at the very end to completely be devoid of stakes since it was obvious what was going to happen. I'm glad that you found things to enjoy.

It certainly took some work for me, though, and somewhere in a parallel universe there's an episode where I just rant about all the stupid stuff they did with Romulans. I am looking forward to John de Lancie in Season Two, but I am not sure I really want to see a type of Pinocchio story with Picard as a robot and Q as the Blue Fairy. But maybe there will be a third season that is just a ten-hour Dixon Hill story?
