All in all giving it a chance unlike

"Star trek discovery, as the Michael Burnham world turns" soap opera.

but it would probably take a lot more for me to hate it than most people. Been a Trekkie since the 60's and have made my way through all of them except the new one before this and am slowly making my way through Enterprise (meh).

Lots to think about after seeing this. Lots of open paths to follow. I have been waiting for this for a long time and got CBS all access just for this.

Just a fan girls opinion but I was entertained, the time went fast and now I am waiting to see where this leads. Borg, OMG there will be Borg. That in itself makes it all worthwhile. <----just a fan girl.

It established the story line for the series which really begins in the next episodes. It is in real time the show begins 20 years after Nemesis. Data is still dead Brent Spiner's appearances are dream sequences and the Romulans are going to be a key player in this series. It looks promising much more in sync with the canon 90s Trek than Discovery or J.J. Abrams Kelvin timeline.

Get a VPN and mask your IP as if its coming from outside of North America. Pick Germany or France or something.

You will then get access to Picard.

I've watched "The Good FIght" and "Star Trek Discovery' But I've waited until they've both been released then sign up fpr CBS All Access and watch them. When I finish I cancel the subscription. A month subscription is more than enough time to watch the 2 series. That's what I'll do with Picard as well but for some reason I thought the whole series was released at once.

I have not checked today though. I was kind of surprised by that too. I cannot remember how many episodes there are supposed to be but after it is over we will be canceling. How on earth are people supposed to pay for all of this? We are worried that John Oliver will only be on All Access too, debating what we can or should just drop if that is the case. It isn't that we watch all day and night it just seems all spread out in a way that we end up getting mad about the entire mess. Ahh well, had all this changed a year ago we would not even have been able to stream so at least our Internet provider was able to upgrade.

I have watched ST since 1968. Picard is as topical as TOS was back then.

The RW fanbabies male assholes are all up in arms about "politics" and SJWs. So at gives you sort of an idea about the series.

Also, Picard is being made under the "alternate license" (long story Google it) between Paramount and CBS. This means it is taking place in the alternate timeline that was started with ST 2009, where Romulus got destroyed, and the timeline established with Discovery.

This means that even though Picard and rest of STTNG cast are being used, the hopefulness of early STTNG is not there, This is darker, grimmer time period. Think a Trumpish early 25th Century.

This season will be 10 episodes, and season 2 has already been greenlit.

Dystopian science fiction is cheap.

If I wanted to see a futuristic dystopian horror show I'd hook my television up to an antenna watch the news.

I hated the Star Trek reboot movies and haven't seen Discovery.

When Patrick Stewart declares he NEVER wants to do Picard again, the character is transferred back in time and space to prehistoric Earth. He dies there, near what is later Kennewick Washington. And that is why Kennewick Man looks like Jean Luc Picard. Because he IS Jean Luc Picard.

Wold

But i'll also watch pretty much anything Patrick Stewart is in.
