I’ve heard great things about Season 3 and I wasn’t about to put myself through watching the rest of Season 1 and 2 to get to it. Thank you for this!

[@kristinperkins9288]

Thank you for the recap. I just couldn't bring myself to watch it, and after watching this I'm so glad I didn't see it.

[@ytucharliesierra]

You beat me to it. I heartily agree! 👍

[@frictorious]

Same here

[@ljgil850]

It was so hard to binge. I should've came here first..so horrible

[@kristinperkins9288]

@@ljgil850 I would have to be pretty drunk to watch it. Like VERY drunk. Blackout drunk, so I wouldn't remember it the next day

[@Mad_001]

Season 2 was really good. I was sad it was over

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

I spent the last few days rewatching both seasons prior to season 3 and glad I did because I forgot a lot. I consider your recap required viewing for someone like me who just binged all those episodes to help cement the details in memory. Watched season 3 episode one three times today and loved it. Looking forward to your reviews when you post them. 👍

[@khanchy]

Picard season 1 & 2 never happened. I never watched them. The stories were Picard's dreams or maybe mine.

[@shamnarayan9582]

Cause they were terrible LOL

[@ArchGeek]

Picard season 2, if you thought season 1 was bad (which it was) buckle up. Luckily, Season 3 is amazing. Where seasons 1 & 2 ignore series canon and pushes illogical agenda, season 3 was made for the fans.

[@donny6033]

Why do people behind the Star Trek media not like Star Trek? Seriously how bad do they let it get. The 2000s have been really really bad for storytelling.

[@berndbernd3464]

people say S3 is actualy good. i want to give it a try. thanks so i didnt have to suffer throu S2

[@ytucharliesierra]

Same here, I started watching S2 but gave up at the second of third episode.

[@davidslaton]

Season 3 is like if season 1 and 2 didn’t happen. It’s a huge FIX and is incredible so far!!!!

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

Rest In Peace, Annie Wersching.

[@chaoticcanyon2081]

I like the scene on the bus where 7 calls out on the punk with the radio in parallel to Kirk in The Voyage Home. It was the same song and I believe the same actor, but different result. Plus the guy moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

[@lauriegallant4709]

Thanks for doing such a bang up job of recapping Season 2. I honestly think the Star Trek show producers should hire you to do this!

[@jeanahollings]

Thank you, this helped dig up my memories of season 3 very nicely!

[@chaoticcanyon2081]

I know they wanted to focus on Picard's psyche concerning himself and his mother, but it would be better if they included his older brother Robert adding to his grief since he was supposedly a bit of a bully to Jean Luc. A few choice flashback moments from TNG like Inner Light would work too.

[@macypowell7461]

WOW! Thanks, that was amazing! We need a similar recap for season one. This and the amazing Klingon shirt, today is great day to eat pie, is cause for a super thanks.

[@Sci-Finatics]

Thanks Macy! I have already done a season 1 recap video glad you like the shirt 😊

[@ssia6938]

Nice job, BUT you forgot to mention the Galactic event, that was the purpose of Juratti’s Borg arrival. And of course the fleet uniting with the Borg to deflect the burst.

[@PLAYxPLAYz]

it was absolutely insane,,, just go ahead and forget about the most significant thing that has literally ever happened... just forget about that gaping whole,, and that the borg are part of the federation BUT COULD NOT HELP,,, no no they cant or they would need to explain why the gaping doomsday whole is there and no action cause the being took a year two year long nap( at the end of season 3 the fast foreard to 1 year later,,, gaping whole still there but meh.... the writers FAILED so hard it hurts... i swore i never comment on social media as its a waste of time BUT OMG as a star trek fan it was ludicrous.

[@VactorVerse]

Great recap!

[@kkszwarc]

Thank you so much for the recap of last season! You almost make me believe it was good hehehe

Dreadful rubbish

[@lowgrs1]

really well-done recap. thanks, for the work.

[@Sci-Finatics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@footmerc]

I loved Q but I can't bring myself to watch season 1 and 2. Rewatching all the old TNG sodes then gonna watch the movies, then season 3 of Picard. Gonna be a good summer!

[@stopgeorge]

Yup. Just as crappy as I remembered it.

[@skeven0]

since season 2 and 3 is run by the showrunner of the 12monkeys tv show, theres a couple of references to that show, Picard's dad & Wells ( also a fbi agent and HG Wells was a gag with his character in 12monkeys) both actorw were used in that show, to the bar called Deacons in picard

[@ianhendricks7977]

Watching this recap because I heard s2 was terrible but s3 was awesome

[@thesaurusrext]

Khoury is invited to join the travellers by Wes Crusher is the most random interjection, like, she is barely mentioned. What the hell?

[@heatherdelacruzstevens3260]

Thank you so much for the recap of last season I feel so refreshed and ready for the new one!

[@Sci-Finatics]

You are so welcome!

[@Bobby_TX-210]

Out of all of the Star Trek shows we have gotten, this season of Picard was by far the most confusing and poorly written thing we have ever gotten in Star Trek. Honestly I feel like we would have been better off without it. I have high hopes for season 3 but I’m keeping my hype level turned down because I do not want to be let down, again.

[@broederharry2534]

So you agree that Discovery is not Star Trek?

[@stardusty]

Looking at this recap, there are some good ideas here, but in practice there were soooo many plot holes. Why did Q want to sabotage Rene? Why didn’t Guinan remember Picard? How was Soong able to get mercenaries? Why did Talin have to sacrifice herself?

[@seanbirch]

@@broederharry2534 nothing in disco comes close to this garbled mess

[@johnpglackin345]

I still think this could have been a good series if it was about a young picard going thru the ranks.

[@dominiquecharriere1285]

Thanks for your recaps, Ive heard from the Critical Drinker that seasons 1 and 2 were horribly woke and messed up but that season 3 is very good, so I will watch knowing what happened before!

[@DarkAngel4ever14]

@@Handles_are_garbage From what i can recall from the show there is quite several things. For starters, anything that goes "woke" do not care about lore, story telling but only push there ideas in the show. So you can see how many of themes and lore in star trek have changed. For one the federation did not help the Romulans because of racism? The Romulans couldn't help there own people, the race that was so feared the federation would not dear to enter it's territory. They had ships powered on singularities which is almost a star, but couldn't fix a start about to blow up. The fact that they relocated them on mars and had the hole scene with only we only server Romulans, again racism. But never really showed how the typical Romulan always saw them self as superior to other races. Then you got the whole aspect of changing the Romulan look and just saying northeners. Just a coincidence every show only had northerners in them from TNG to DS9. You had the fact that they had access to a borg cube, why would you give them that? You also had the moment where they said, ex borg people prefer to call them self something i forgot, which sounds a lot like the whole gender movement and self perception that helps no one. Above that 7 of 9 is not recognizable since she has changed so much, heck i think in the first scene when she pored her self a glass of alcohol was the only time you saw something resembling 7 of 9 (the way she moved). No more the rational and super scientific person. The fact that star trek has always been about the utopic vision, while at times you had corruptions and bad people, Picard and discovery just made it look dystopic and very unfunctional. Then you got season 2 and going to the pass and again racism with the whole ICE thing, then you got the optimistic and wise Guinan just a pessimist against humans. But some how she forgot she meet them in the pass in the far western times. Then you had the whole the world going to end because of climate change with the hills on fire. Borgs are no more the zombie type of bad guys, but now they are fully aware of there surroundings and can now do martial arts... Just them going in the pass should of been them trying to adhere to the space and time travel protocol and being super paranoid of not changing the pass. But seems being careless wasn't a big concern. The whole thing about mental health should of not even appear in the show, since these kinds of issue are almost unheard of. Even in DS9 when O'Brien relived PTS after doing a mission that almost got him killed, the next episode he is fine because science is so advance. These are the thing i can recall off the top of my head.

[@DarkAngel4ever14]

@@Handles_are_garbage Simple, they only care about pushing there message then actually doing anything about great art/entertainments/thoughtful/inspirational... So every chance they can to talk about racism, sexism or any other subject of the day they will ham fist it in even if it makes no sense. Just like the last season of discovery with the whole trans issue and having the pronoun talk. Which lead to the next confusing scene where you had a hard time following if they were specifically talking about her or teens in general. You also had the most annoying thing that was constantly push in every episodes about talking about your feelings and this was like every 5-15min, to the point that just by listening to the music i knew what was about to happen before they even opened there mouth. Which this lead to the weirdest scene where people who were trying to outrun some alien monsters, that they constantly said was catching up, no no, time to stop moving and now we got to say what we have to say... Do you understand what i'm trying to say?

I dug this season, though it was definitely too much Small Trek imo. 3 ought to fix that though.

[@smallno]

Why?😅. It’s a season most of us rather pretend it Never happened.

[@Nexus-6]

I watched most of the first season and then gave up on it, and skipped season 2 after hearing how awful it is. I watched this recap hoping to catch so I can watch season 3. And wow, season 2 sounds like a convoluted mess that still makes no sense to me. Thanks for the recap.

[@williamcortelyou9072]

Wow, they made the Borg good guys? Dude thats lame as hell.

[@hottubking1229]

Season 2 was so bad I could only watch half of this recap.

[@mikecontreras5190]

Watched season 1 and hated it, Roddenberry would despise this series. This whole show is a cheap money grab with no heart or vision just wants to cash in on nostalgia. After watching this recap of season 2 I am just gonna give up on star trek altogether after the last terrible movies and this show it think its pretty much dead. Thanks for the recap though, lets me know I definitely don't have to spend money on watching it, ever.

[@zaqqaz]

I couldn’t believe you could make anything worse than season 1 of Picard, then season 2 came out. What a horrible show.

Last season makes no sense and should have altered reality with the borg at least . The whole having a drink to summon a Q was soooooooooooooo stupid and damn Whoopi was older in the 1800s then in the 2000 something’s. Also also the queen acting like what borg can do kung fu and she couldn’t hack the earths computers it’s a bunch of wtf

Ty, forgot half this season, waiting a year for 8-10 episodes sucks and you forget about the shows even being around.

I don't know what on earth (see what I did here) is happening in the comments, I liked both seasons 1&2

[@impinas]

@@St_AngusYoung Yes, 3rd is super. I still like the first 2 though.

[@alejandronopasanada5302]

That musical number was my absolute favorite moment in Season 2. As soon as it started I thought, this IS Star Trek. I hope that season 3 is just all Patrick Stewart fully making it about himself (as he did with the whole kid thing which was more amazingness) and it’s just a musical.

[@PLAYxPLAYz]

you do not need a recap as you need to forget most of the story for the story to make sense... LONG TIME huge fan here, but the writing was terrible. the end of each season literally ends at the climax but nothing happens. ill stop there to avoid the book i just wrote on another comment section... picard is amazing but to go a whole season without addressing the gaping whole that can destroy the whole sector any second for a deep space 9 plot for season 3 is a miss...... a huge miss.... worst miss...ever.... the whole season 3 i was like,, ok they have a crazy ship.... and the dominion ..... but.... what about the big gaping whole that will destroy all of this making any war effort in the sector a waste of time as the gaping whole is just gonna sit there cause what caused it (and wiped out the borg almost all of them) decided it was going on vacation? season 3 was ok... the last two episodes should have been how the season started and they recover from the dominion while dealing with said gaping hole with the new borg that are a part of the federation now..... OMG I have to stop.... im sorry ... i got 5 episodes out of 3 seasons.... should have just been a movie.

Geez. I'm glad I skipped it. I could barely watch a 10 minute recap.

[@tvuser1]

Have you seen season 3

[@stephenstiles2]

Oh my God. I loved Season One of Picard. Started watching Season Two when it started getting bad. First the ICE agents raiding the clinic for illegals? On our Earth, ICE is forced into a catch and release organization. Different Earth I guess, but we know what they're saying. Then Guinan telling Picard how basically privileged people like him were (whites) unlike her. Came here to get recap so I could see if the writing got better. Got halfway through the recap and gave up on the show. Thanks for the recap and saved time I would have spent trying to soldier through to see if the story improved. They should have let the legend of Picard stand after Season One. A really good show.
