I really appreciate your site. It is so hard to get a real read on stuff without getting cancelled. I agree about what a turnaround Picard season 3 made, simply by going back to good writing and leaving the woke shit out it.
One observation about your take on the LaGorge sisters schooling Geordi. Had we not been bombarded with so much of this emasculation of older generations in favor of the young smart generation, I think this would be a rather viable plot line. I can certainly see that Geordi would be far more cautious protecting his children and “out of the mouths of babes” would be a good refresher.
It sucks that we have to be en guard about all of this, I hope that if Star Trek Legacy comes to pass, they don’t f#@k it up with Seven and Raffi. Anyway thanks again and keep it up!
I agree that there’s nothing inherently wrong with the sisters having and expressing an opposing point of view. The problem lies, much as you elucidated, in the persistent efforts to emasculate strong male characters. Until Geordi’s character stepped foot on the Enterprise D, he was almost unrecognizable as Geordi. Instead, he was a borderline coward. It was unnecessary, and added nothing to the narrative.

I have not watched this yet. After season two featuring “Nazi cops” and literally, everything woke, I said I would never trust them (the Hollywood liberal elite) again. Season 2 kneeled at the altar of liberalism so much, I began to think of the season as having “Liberal Tourettes” syndrome.
Their on the nose ability to spit in the face of goodness, making ICE a bunch of Nazi loving bigots, was so far from the truth it was insulting to those who give their lives to protect our borders.
I may give season 3 a watch, but it is difficult to reward Hollywood for bad behavior!
i did not watch the first 2 seasons, and in hindsight, glad i did not. I am not a massive “trekkie” but remember watching alot of ST:The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, so know some things that would have peaked my interest in Picard season 1 and 2. However, hearing LOTS of reviews about how WOKE those seasons were, i avoided it, until watched The Critical Drinker preview this, and recommended it, and i must be honest, i am glad i did. Aggree that Raffi is pointless to the extreme and only a token insert for the “woke” agenda. What i LOVED was that it was older members of the crew that had to save the youngsters, and that experience and knowledge prevailed, not brute strength, sheer numbers or “you are old, sit down” mentality. And damn, Gates McFadden still has it!
I had given up on all Star Trek related shows since Discovery was a disaster for me, Strange New Worlds I couldn’t get passed episode 1, I rolled my eyes so much watching it that I got a headache. Picard season 1 was meh but season 2 was TERRIBLE. Boring, woke all the time, a complete failure. So I gave up. Thankfully I saw season 3 review here and watched it. It’s so good that it makes me very sad knowing that it’s probably the last good Star Trek thing we will ever watch. It’s really worth it for those who enjoyed Next Generation when younger. How can we help this service provided here to grow stronger? I’m never watching anything again until I find a safe score here.
Thank you so much for the kudos. Right now, the best thing that you can do to help us is to tell people about us and share share share our content on social media. God bless.
I remember feeling much the same as you about previous (woke) Trek. I was quite excited about Picard until lI heard Patrick Stewart in an interview about how great this show would be and how it even reflected Trump’s rise to power/ politics. In that moment I knew it would suck. As reviews started coming in (addressing wokeness) it was confirmed… 🙁
Glad to hear that S3 finally shows a change in direction for the show! (Hopefully the whole franchise too!)
Season 3 was no better than the first two. It IS liberal woke garbage all the same. People are blinded by the fact that the old school cast is in it, appealing to reminiscent memories. Look past that. It IS totally woke garbage.
After watching as much of the first seasons as i could i before shaking my head in disbelief and disdain and not throwing my TV off of my deck, I simply did not even consider watching the third season. Like the poster just above me, i will have my own standard of probably what some would consider “knuckle dragging” metrics before wasting my time watching even the slightest of Woke nonsense. I refuse to participate in a real life world that mimics what should be a satirical version of society in Demolition man and not reality… Watching any commercials between the shows is even worse. i just walk away or turn the sound off.
I kind of liked the first season when I watched it years ago, when the second season came out and I started watching the episodes I couldn’t get past episode 5 so much garbage was being spewed. Nothing anyone says can make me go back to watching that pile of feces. I don’t consider myself a conservative or someone on the right, but I hate the woke agenda and I end up becoming more familiar with the right.
*I do not speak english*
If I skip the first two seasons and start with season 3, will I be scratching my head the whole time? After reading this review I really want to watch it, but I don’t think it’s worth suffering through the first two seasons.
No, as long as you know that ***SPOILER*** Picard died at the end of the first season and is now a positronic robo Picard with his memories etc. you should be good.
Oh, and 7 of 9 is arbitrarily gay now and had a relationship with Raffi.
Had one instance of trans woke. When Vadic checks out the crew. I knew who she’s gonna pick just because wokeness demands it- and yep, it was Ensign Pronouns, just so that 7 can exclaim the “Them” pronouns. As the only instance in the series, it could be much worse, thank goodness Vadic didn’t ask “what’s your pronouns”.
I do agree with the “surprisingly non-woke” rating. I went into this expecting them to retro-queer half the TNG cast.
Instead, they totally dialed down the woke! Yey! Even the nauseating Raffi/7 thing was unceremoniously abandoned and barely mentioned again!
Perhaps the tides are turning?
This was quite helpful, thanks. Going to go out on a limb, and buy season 3 as well. Something I probably would not have done except for this great analysis. Seasons one and two were quite disappointing, the second much worse than the first. I left a review online regarding season 2; ‘You’d find more sci fi satisfaction watching tele tubbies.’ lol.
Twenty years ago in the TNG days, we were excited about the future. Now a days, due to woke liberalism, we no longer like the future, even if that’s here and now. Find a cure. Asking politely for the woke activists to take a seat and be quiet because we’re tired of hearing about their ridiculous world views. We state quite simply and with firm resolution; we are never going to bake that cake.
Now, when are they going to bring Backula back and run another four seasons of Enterprise? Those were the best of all time, sadly too few episodes… I’m sure it’s logistically easier and probably less costly to swing by the retirement home and wheel out the old legends, but for real, we’d rather have had another run of Enterprise than any of the Star Trek offerings of the past decade. Thanks
