I can't believe all the praise for s3 of Picard. Are people really so excited to see the TNG actors on the screen that they failed to notice that the writers have them playing entirely different characters from who they used to be?
Honestly, even though the show is named "Picard", I can't see this Patrick Stewart character as the Picard I once knew.
Do you have any idea how bad the writing has to be before The same character played by the same actor seems like an entirely different person?
I mean, even when they fucked up Luke Skywalker in the sequel movies, he still felt like Luke Skywalker.
