To be honest, I don't think I'm going to get into this one. It doesn't seem like Discovery or Picard are really for me.

Spoiler: Picard S1

I kinda checked out of Picard at the eyeball-plucking and 7 of 9 killing spree, but also because I didn't enjoy the serial format. The story felt like it was written and then they got Patrick Stewart to join in at the last minute and rewrote it so he could be around, and that there were so many developments that felt like they were there to artificially drag the story out, like killing Dr. Maddox immediately after finding him.

I also really felt nauseated by how Picard would have a moment to talk, and then everyone around him would be like, "yeah that isn't how things work" and then ignore him I much prefer the quiet optimism that you got from TNG/VOY.
