    I just watched Season 2 of Picard and all I could think the whole time was “TNG crew would have wrapped this up in 1 or 2 episodes…”

      Yup, in order to make Discovery and Picard work, the writers had to give everyone the idiot ball.

      Trek is at its best when it’s competence porn.

      As a note, to be in star fleet requires 4 years at the start fleet academy. You need to be somewhat good at your job and somewhat disciplined to even be considered for a slot on a ship.

      I’m not a fan of Picard Season 2 but I will give it the argument that it only takes place over the course of like 2-3 days, just like most TNG episodes when you factor in warp speeds and all the time delays that are needed for the things talked about in the episodes.

        Yeah I know. It just felt like it dragged on. I guess I just prefer more episodic Star Trek. Probably in general… all these 8 episode per season “prestige” shows are getting tiresome.
