The first TNG episode was absolutely horrible so this is promising
I agree. Discovery is totally for emo retards that don't really have an appreciation for Star Trek canon. "Picard" isn't perfect, but it's leaps and bounds better than Discovery and does have strong connections to Star Trek canon, while still adding some modern elements.I'm not going to get into an argument about your post but yes it has weak points but I enjoyed the episode. I thought it did a good job of moving past the previous history of the Star Trek Next Generation while it brings back many of the original people. I thought the other Star Trek with the jumping ship was a dumpster fire but this one is getting a lot of positive reaction from people online.
Understaffed? I don't know what gave you that impression. My interpretation was that Starfleet had become corrupt, which is realistic and analogous of the times. The Romulans are still villains, and working against the Federation in the shadows, but their current state makes sense considering what happened in Nemesis and then Star Trek (2009).It's got almost nothing in common with the original show. The federation seems totally understaffed. The Romulans are dogshit. So much for their big empire.

That is a different point, but there is some logic to it. Who really knows what that would look like though? A "star empire" suffering the fate of a super nova? Maybe they didn't have many options to relocate all 900 million residents. It sounds like a massive undertaking (especially since they didn't have a lot of friends and real estate may have been limited). But, they clearly did relocate some of the 900 million. You begin to see that they are still a "player" in regional politics in episode 2.The entire massive Romulan Star Empire can’t evacuate 900 million people from their home world without federation aid? They aren’t even a regional power anymore? Nemesis didn’t break their whole empire...at least it didn’t look like it did.
Maybe I don't understand all of the details about what happened on Mars, but it looked to me like a pretty quick strike that resembled something like a terrorist attack. What do resources have to do with that? America had tons of resources during 9/11, but it didn't prevent the event from occurring (or the long term damage of the event).And if the Federation wasn’t understaffed compared to where it used to be, setting up a rescue mission like that wouldn’t even need to take place on Mars. Hell it wouldn’t even need to take place at all. The old federation had literally thousands of ships with large crew capacities all over the alpha and beta quadrants

It seems plausible that a workforce of androids could pull that off from the inside.The moment one of them started shooting at Mars...I mean, there were ships right there in orbit. Picard was right there. The best officer in the federation. And how do you just “set Mars on fire” like that? They have had enemies literally full on attack Earth and Mars they couldn’t do that. The Borg didn’t with a huge cube, the Breen/Dominion didn’t with their surprise attack, and the Federation itself needed a whole genesis project to destroy planets in the earlier movies!
To each his own. We all have different sensibilities about these things. I am not discouraged by this Picard show (yet).It might seem like I’m nitpicking. Maybe I am. Sometimes if a story is good enough it can cover up for this. But the missing shots really got me too. Like those guys beamed in and fired a bunch of blaster shots and got taken out via TV-Karate. It just felt so lame.
With TNG, DS9 I watch it and feel like “this is the best they could have done given the time and place.” Even with some of the silly Klingon brawls. The other stuff on TV were sit coms and police procedurals while TNG was coming out with classic episodes every week. I really feel like they overachieved on those given their resources and this new show doesn’t seem that way at all...
I’ll keep watching, it’s an OK show, but it’s really not for old school fans of Star Trek

They were anticipating it with the Dominion.
First Contact was garbage. It's the most overrated film in the franchise. I think there was some anticipation there too though. I don't think it was a total surprise.

The review is fucking hilarious, and sadly accurate.
