Star Trek Picard and Discovery
Mar. 1st, 2023 01:08 amYesterday I finished watching Picard season 2.
(trigger warnings: suicide, murder, death of characters we know)
... I dont know quite what I thought of it, but I know I felt ever so many things, probably as per their plan, including getting very big feelings about the whole age and mortality thing.

So I dont know what I think of Picard, because it makes me feel.
Also the biggest feels were about the bits I saw on tumblr already.
I like the no surprises version fine, which is good, because tumblr be like that.
I do feel that Picard makes more sense as its own thing than it does if I think (or feel) too much about fitting it in with every other Trek. It tells a strong emotional arc that seems self contained.
But it did keep my whole attention, to the point that I put it on in theory while I did my exercise for the day, but in practice I only got the exercise done in the last hour of the day, because watching.
... I did get the second Perfect Month this year, and my 500 move goals since I got this watch, so, feeling pretty good about exercise. 🖖
When I finished with Picard I ate dinner and started watching Discovery seson 3.
Only the first episode so far.
That's feels heavy but in kind of an opposite direction?
Time travel, and heavy losses, but, hope.
Hope that Starfleet and the Federation is worth building, as many times as it takes.
So I stopped after that one episode, partly because it is one in the morning, but mostly because that is a much better set of feels to try and fall asleep on.
