I only watched the first episode so far. I swear to god, if they don’t bring Data’s daughter back to life, I’m going to commit warcrimes.

        I’ve been considering this approach. I know the plot of the first two but don’t want to go through them based on what I’ve heard - I guess it will be fine to just jump into S3?

        The only problem is that if you skip those 2 (though I admit that 1 is sort of okay at best and 2 is… pretty bad), a lot of the best stuff that happens in 3 is a lot to handle.

        I’m very new to Lemmy and can’t find a spoiler button so I’ll be vague instead: there is a huge plot in season 3 for a beloved character, and if that had all happened in the first season, it wouldn’t have felt earned.

          I would never skip them myself, but I understand why someone might want to.

          Testing a spoiler! It appears to be the ⚠️button, at least on the mobile webpage.

            I believe we’re in the same boat.

            And tragically, on the Jerboa app, no such button, and your spoiler text is just showing as normal text. Growing pains!

        Maybe I’m just a simple man, but season 1 was just kind of ok, season 2 I’m still not sure what happened, but season 3 really hit the spot for me.

          Yeah this is how I feel. If you go in without expectations it’s pretty enjoyable, I liked it for what it was.

        I’m someone who hated season 1. Season 3 is worth the watch and feels like a great coda to TNG. It’s almost like an extended reimagining of “All Good Things” which also ties up a few loose ends from the movies and dedicates more time to showing how the characters have grown as people and, in some cases, parents.

        There are some moments where it feels like Discovery or prior Picard, but not enough to weigh down the show.

        It’s solid. It’s a lot better than s1 or s2, and a better than any season of discovery. It’s not as good as Strange New Worlds or Prodigy.

        It’s a hell of a lot better than the first two seasons, but that’s not a super high bar. Season 2 is probably the worst, most baffling season of television I’ve ever watched. Season 3 at least mostly made sense and was reasonably entertaining most of the way through.
