i think it's fascinating and awful how star trek went "hey this guy* just wiped out an entire species of approximately 50 billion. anyway next episode!"

The consensus I've seen is that most canon Trek romances suck, but what people think the exceptions are is very variable. I've heard Troi/Riker, Worf/Jadzia, Sisko/Kasidy, Bashir/Ezri, Chakotay/Seven, and T'Pol/Trip (among others, and this is excluding the more recent shows), and conversely some of those same ones as examples of the general trend.

Soooooo ... I just finished episode 6 of ST: Picard, season 3

... and can I just say ... How can anyone not love this season so far?!

No, seriously. If folks are complaining about Picard this season, I have to question whether or not they were ever fans of Star Trek, in general, and Star Trek: TNG, specifically.

Forgive me, but this is going to have some spoilers below. So if you haven't watched episode 6 yet, please keep scrolling.

...

Is it safe to squee?

...

OK.

Seriously, folks. I fangirled so hard throughout this entire episode, you would've thought I've never experienced joy before. It was that f*cking awesome!

Oh "The Bounty," how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:

(Almost) the entire TNG band getting back together again in one episode

The first appearance of Geordi LaForge looking all distinguished and sh*t

The younguns sneaking off to try and figure a way out of this mess while the parents argue and deliberate

Riker's "We're all gonna die" line

The trip down starship memory lane including a moment for Seven to reflect on what the USS Voyager meant to her

Me immediately recognizing the Bird of Prey from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

The cameo by Daniel *motherf*ckin'* Davis as Professor Moriarty. Oh. My. God! I literally leapt out of my seat when I saw him appear on screen. That was such a beautiful gift. Michelle Forbes last week was an amazing, but bittersweet gift. But this. This was just a truly beautiful gift. Thank you to whomever made that happen.

Geordi still being a badass engineer even though he's all "play it safe Dad mode" now

The flashback to season 1 Riker for a quick recall of "Pop Goes The Weasel" which he somehow manages to recognize by the isolated keys on their own 30 years later

Brent Spiner cycling through all the "Data's" he's played over his career, and me immediately recognizing Lore before he even said his name

Amanda Plummer just killing it with the villainy. I'm here for all of it!

And that ending?!?! Oh. My. God. Come on. How are folks not loving this?!

See. I honestly don't get the folks who are complaining. I know a lot of us Trekkers are fully enjoying this, but for the ones who aren't ... Honey, I don't know what to tell you. This season has been so much more than I ever expected, and I'm in ... just ... pure bliss with this episode and this season overall.

And no. I'm not just watching this season alone. I loved Star Trek: Picard seasons 1 and 2 as well. So much so that I was sad when I heard they were only going to do one more season.

But oh boy! What a season to end it on.

I am in deep smit with this show. And just to be clear, I also love Star Trek: Discovery, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds. I even like Prodigy, even though I've only watched about halfway through the first season.

Yes, I'm one of those Trekkers who loves Trek with my whole chest, so it was unlikely that I wouldn't relish this final season of Picard. But I never expected to love it as much as I have so far.

At this point, I'll probably cry when the season finally ends, but that's OK. Because I'll just watch it all over again to experience this joy one more time.

Beverly Crusher's promotion to Admiral was 100000% deserved, BUT... why wasn't Will Riker promoted to Admiral, too? did they just forget to show that??? bro put it ALL on the line and nearly lost his life.

Encounter at Farpoint might be a bit of a mess for a lot of reasons but one scene that unintentionally has me crying in the club is Picard and Riker's first meeting. When I go back and watch that scene and I see how cold and dismissive Picard is to Riker, how he doesn't even look at him... makes going back and watching Picard Season One all the more wild.

Sure, there's thirty-ish years in both canon and not between Riker being some fresh-faced recruit not yet acclimated to the Enterprise, to Picard going out and finding him when he needed a place to hide with Soji because he knew Will Riker was the one man in the universe he could always trust. So in Farpoint, I can only imagine being the new guy, the Enterprise crew didn't have any idea what the first officer would be like, if he'd mesh well with the rest of the still-adjusting crew. We of course now know Will Riker has the uncanny ability to befriend almost everyone he meets.

It's a long time between that and Picard speaking at Will's wedding, or taking a picture with his first born son, between that and bunnicorn pizza at Nepenthe. A long time between Picard not so much as looking his new first officer in the eye and naming his dog "Number One" - and a long, long time between Picard questioning why Riker didn't let his captain on away missions, and Riker hauling across space with a fleet of ships on his back to save his captain's ass one more time, for old time's sake.

When they first meet Will says "A captain's life means a great deal to me" and Picard says "Isn't it just possible that you don't get to be a starfleet captain without knowing whether it's safe to beam down or not?" So when Picard is dying in Et in Arcadia Ego he doesn't tell Riker he's dying (as in, actually, currently dying), because he knows that his first officer, still after all these years, would do everything he could to try and fix something he can't. Because he can't fix it, not this time. So when Riker says "I'll see you around" Picard says "Adieu."

I just think there's something really special about their friendship, and how the rocky beginnings of a science fiction show accidentally made for a really beautiful character arc, and I can't wait to see it continue, and perhaps conclude, in Picard Season Three.
