I gave Picard a try after downloading a torrent. After a few episodes I gave
up. To me it is an empty shell of TNG. I would do a complete review but that
would require a complete viewing of the season. 

Like the reboot movies, the show is made for young people who grew up without
Star Trek. The franchise is done with, if you ask me. At least I have the dvd
collections of TOS, TNG, and DS9. I liked Voyager despite the rushed finale
season.

During his promo tour of the talkshow circuit, Stewart said that the show would
be specifically written to combat Trump. I knew it was going to be a steaming
pile of turds. I'm surprised he didn't cast DeNiro.

Star Trek died with Roddenberry.
