Star Trek: Picard (1.06 - Finale)

So, the first season of Star Trek: Picard has ended, and to the end, it was a mixed affair of "oooh, I like this" "eh" and "better not think about how that's supposed to work, because it doesn't" to me. In terms of the show itself, I don't think it presented as good a first season as Star Trek: Discovery did, and I suspect that if it hadn't gotten a second season pre release, we'd have gotten a slightly different ending; it reminded me of the Doctor Who Christmas special The Last Christmas that way, i.e. you could tell what Moffat added at the last minute when it turned out Jenna Colman did want to do one more season.

But "mixed bag" for me means also a lot of elements I enjoyed, and no, I don't just mean Patrick Stewart (and some other suspects of Yestertrek) back on my tv screen. I mean, for example: This was a show that celebrated affection in general and love in particular, in a completely uncynical way.

( Spoilers have always known. )

In conclusion, I wasn't swept away by this first season, but what I liked, I really liked a lot, and I look forward to s2.
