Star Trek: Picard – Season 2 (TVR00024) – 🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪

The PolyBlog
April 28 2024

Overview

The authoritarian regime of Altered Earth was interesting to visit, although the trajectory from Point A to Point B is left a bit weak. Where there is actually some action, with an Emergency Combat Hologram and playing hide and seek with newbie, low-end drones, the show is decent. But many of the episodes feel like a VERY long episode that should have been a two-parter like it was on Voyager. Season 1 was way better. And don’t get me started on Picard trying to be the “old wise man” imparting great pronouncements while having NO sense of connection or chemistry with just about anyone. Even Guinan feels very forced.

List of Episodes from Season 2

S02E01The Star GazerNone of our tomorrows are guaranteed. Particularly
when large-scale anomalies appear out of nowhere,
calling your name. However, it might be better
than Q calling you.
🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪
S02E02PenanceIn an alternate Q reality, a safe galaxy is a human
galaxy. President Hanson, Rios, the Borg Queen and
others are more confused than present for
Eradication Day.
🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪
S02E03AssimilationLA in 2024? Wasn’t that a Voyager episode? Any
29th century tech sitting around anywhere? No?
Oh, well.
🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪
S02E04WatcherGuinan may be a listener, but only when you say
something interesting, like your name. Oh, and
ICE grabs some of the time travellers.
🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪
S02E05Fly Me to the MoonPicard’s ancestor probably isn’t helped much with
Q as her therapist. And Data with his child in a
bubble is a bit creepy.
🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪
S02E06Two of OneJean-Luc meets his ancestor, gives her a pep talk,
and there’s a bunch of gala stuff going on.
🐸🐸⚪⚪⚪
S02E07MonstersA trip inside Jean-Luc’s head and past is not
particularly interesting.
🐸🐸⚪⚪⚪
S02E08MercyGuinan and Jean-Luc are arrested, everyone else
just wanders around accomplishing nothing.
Good line from Guinan that the boy who met
a Vulcan had to have that experience in order
to grow up to be the FBI agent to arrest them.
🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪
S02E09Hide and SeekOkay, an Emergency Combat Hologram is pretty
cool. As is playing hide and seek with newbie
Borg at Chateau Picard. Hippie love moments?
Meh.
🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪
S02E10FarewellIn the past, double the ancestor, half the risk,
a bit easy; but that project Khan file sounds
intriguing. In the future, Agnes is Guardian of
the Gate? That sounds intriguing too. A bit
shmaltzy in places though.
🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

The Bottom Line

Not as enjoyable as Season 1, needed more action or a lot of editing.

Series premiere: Star Trek Prodigy

The PolyBlog
November 2 2021

I knew there was a new show coming called ST: Prodigy and that it was animated, with a holographic Janeway to help train a misfit crew. There have been other shows in the ST universe about raw cadets who are unseasoned but manning a star ship, but not animated nor as the full premise of the show. Episodes or books, not shows. But I figured I knew a little of what to expect, as I’ve watched Lower Decks. I assumed it was similar in concept but with the LDers running the asylum. Star Trek shows are always good for multiple … Continue reading →

Series premiere: Invasion

The PolyBlog
November 2 2021

My first reaction to Apple TV’s “Invasion” series was based on the description and the trailer. And I was completely confused by two totally different marketing approaches. Invasion on Apple TV is about an alien invasion, but seems like it is more about how one woman copes, trying to keep her two kids and herself safe, since the father is useless. But I can’t be sure as the description going around looks like “family-during-crisis” while the trailer looks like “monsters-are-here”. Pass, predict cancellation. I gave EP01 a go, and well, I have NO idea where the woman’s storyline went. The episode … Continue reading →

Series premiere: Chicago Party Aunt

The PolyBlog
October 20 2021

When I read about CPA in the previews, my reaction was this: Chicago Party Aunt…an animated show on Netflix about a drunk 40yo woman partying in Chicago. Wait, isn’t there a show about a 40yo pretending to be 20-something in New York? Pass but I predict it will make it to at least season 2. Then I watched EP1, and I’m changing that prediction to no renewal. Maybe the later EPs are good, maybe Netflix wants to be in the animated business, but EP01 is gratingly bad. Low-bro lower-middle class can work with comedy, including 262 EPs of the life … Continue reading →

Series premiere: CSI: Vegas

The PolyBlog
October 20 2021

The original CSI was awesome, and it really started a whole genre of shows where it was not about a pathologist going rogue or detectives doing their thing, it instead put forensic science front and centre. It grossed some people out, inspired others to go into science, and tricked entire populations into believing you could do a full DNA test while someone was getting coffee. If the science said you did it, the science was always right. With a relaunch of the series, technically a spinoff of sorts and hence the “: Vegas” name to distinguish it from other CSI … Continue reading →
