Paramount+ Star Trek: Picard - Season Three (3 Viewers)

[Wayne Klein]

We finished watching the series on Wednesday night. That was great. I've read all your comments through page 36 so far. I'll read more later.

I started watching the special features on the Blu-ray. I am glad I waited until after watching the whole series as there definitely are "spoilers" for later episodes in the special features on Disc One. I thought there might be since I was surprised when watching the first season of Discovery. The special features on early discs gave away some things for later.

Still, some nice features there and I do plan on listening to the commentaries in the weeks ahead. There a bunch of those. They should be entertaining.

By the way, assuming there are no cancellations, I'll be seeing Todd Stashwick and Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut at the Shore Leave convention at the end of July. I am psyched for that.

Season 3 of Picard is pretty darn good. I would love to see a spin off with the characters from Picard.

The best thing to do to mollify the fans would be a movie or just to do a pilot, air it and see how it flies.

I agree.

I also can’t help but wonder how the powers that be feel about Matalas’s maneuvering - it’s not necessarily politically correct behavior from an employee to their employer.

He pitched them an idea for Star Trek Legacy before Picard had wrapped. They apparently didn’t respond to his pitch. So then he goes and adds a tag scene to the Picard finale that’s a cliffhanger of sorts to set up a show that Paramount hasn’t agreed to make, and on top of that, goes directly to the fans to tell them his proposal and asks fans to contact Paramount to tell them they want that show.

As a fan, I appreciate that someone on the inside is advocating for programming I want to watch, but if I worked for Paramount, I’d probably be pretty pissed at the maneuvering.

Agreed. I’d rather see what Matalas proposes than Star Fleet Academy.

Recently watched the 4th episode with commentary. They point out loads of easter eggs as they appear. They all sound like they had a great time and are having a great time with the commentary. During the closing credits Terry points out how each image refers to something happening during the season. Definitely good to have seen the whole series before listening to any of the commentaries.

Just watched the final episode commentary, which was loads of fun. They pointed out a good number of things including Terry's cameo line. It sounded like they had a great time.

By the way, this summer I'll be going to Shore Leave convention where two of the guests are scheduled to be Todd Stashwick and Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut. Looking forward to asking them some questions.

I can't see how that would be affordable. The salary demands are going to be brutal.

Not for the younger actors.
