wow

1st episode, brilliant

watched it a few times now, and i see more things each time

[Capt. Henry Morgan]

After what little I could stand of Discovery, I'll admit that my expectations were low for this one. After seeing the first episode, though, I am absolutely impressed.

Thought it was going to be a Star Trek version of Alita Battle Angel when it began. Still might turn out to be that. I also enjoyed it immensely.

Surprisingly, ST: Picard feels great! Hope they won't ruin it...
First episode is a little rushed at some points, but still gorgeous!

Now lets see how Star Trek Online milks money out of this.

I always thought Paramount was missing an opportunity by not doing something where Picard assumes his Flag and commands a squadron. That way, you could run interwoven storylines with multiple ships and up and coming actors.

Periodically, you could get the squadron together to perform heavier operations, rescues, etc.

I wasn't impressed by it.

I've seen the first ep now.

My thoughts (SPOILER ALERT):

Spoiler

I loved the opening shot with the camera closing in on the Enterprise D (which had some interesting design modifications) and going through the window into to the room.. the kind of shot you always wanted to see as a kid watching TNG but knew they couldn't really do effectively (well not without spending some heavy money lol, which is kind of ironic considering the 60s failed trek pilot sort of has a camera through bridge window shot)..

I enjoyed the whole episode but I feel like I can't quite give judgement yet. I need to know more about what's going on and need to see how things pan out story wise.

Also the zero mention of Lal and Lore seems a bit strange in a world where the daystrom institute desperately wanted to replicate Data. I mean what happened to their parts after they were disassembled? B4 was in a drawer so where's the Lal and Lore drawers haha?

First thought was.. did the writers forget them?.. but that seems unlikely consider they brought Hugh back which means they clearly remember Descent 1 & 2 which Lore was in. The whole Daughter 2.0 storyline suggests the Lal episode is something they know too. Plus Frakes directed that one and he's involved in Picard.
