Worst? I hardly think that.

SNW is wonderful. It feels like old Star Trek in such a wonderful way that sets it apart from the weaknesses of Discovery, even though it was birthed out of Discovery.

Picard was at worst inoffensive. Slow in places, season 2 was weird, and season 3 was solid albeit looking back at it with a little time, a ton of it was nostalgia and finally wrapping up everything about TNG.

I agree about the characters. It’s my main problem with the series. It got a little better as time went on but so many of the bridge crew may have well been extras for the first couple seasons. It wouldn’t have changed anything because it was The Michael Burnham Show.

The overarching season plots also keep getting more and more worn out as it goes. It’s okay to have the stakes be lower than destruction on a galactic scale. It’s okay to slow down and tell interesting stories and not feel like a panicked mess.

There is palpable fan interest in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine getting a revival of some sort

They mentioned Avery’s willingness as an impediment but even if he’s onboard I don’t see it without René and Aron, among other reasons.

Yeah that’s always a potential thing they could continue from, or scrap at will. (I watched that again just this weekend lol)

He does like so much like him, however with Odo that isn’t the most important thing. The voice is much more important and René’s voice is so very distinctive.
