It's a far better story, with MORE character moments, greater emotional depth, and more world building, despite being only 20% of the run time. Where does all that extra time go?<br /><br />Oh yeah: pew pew pew slice decapitate pew pew!matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-76984770604531857912023-04-14T12:49:04.213-05:002023-04-14T12:49:04.213-05:00"All Good Things" put the band back toge..."All Good Things" put the band back together in about half an hour of screen time. It also told a much more compelling story in less than two hours.<br /><br />I think I would probably love seeing these characters back on the Enterprise-D again, but there has to be more than fan service to have a quality episode or miniseries.<br /><br />Picard is competing directly with The Mandalorian, which is showing how to do fan service the right way. The Mandalorian is including fan favorite characters, species, ships, and places, but it is also telling new stories with new characters in a satisfying way each week.<br /><br />Thanks for reviewing these episodes and providing perspective beyond "OMG! It's great to see Geordi again!" and the like. I wish this season had turned out a bit better, but we'll always have Paris (and Sarek, and The Inner Light, etc.).BrandonHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206753811279557819noreply@blogger.com
