    I gave up on picard after one and a half seasons

    I know I can be picky, but I fail to see how it deserved awards for anything

      That’s a half season longer than I gave it.

      Well you didn’t watch season 3, which is the season that actually won these awards.

        I watched all 3 seasons. Season 3 should be recognized for its special effects and acting - the new characters and classic ones both perform well. Too bad it was in service to such an unneeded story.

    Pretty lame, basically just giving lifetime achievement awards to a bunch of beloved elderly actors rather than basing the awards on the shows and performances in question.

      I’m find Paul Wesley strangely unlikable. He looks kinda weird. His movements are odd. Nothing is wrong with him, he just makes me uncomfortable. Would you please share what you like about him? I’d like to get over this weird feeling.

    The worst star trek TV shows and they still get awards.

      SNW is in the upper tier of Star Trek shows.

      Worst? I hardly think that.

      SNW is wonderful. It feels like old Star Trek in such a wonderful way that sets it apart from the weaknesses of Discovery, even though it was birthed out of Discovery.

      Picard was at worst inoffensive. Slow in places, season 2 was weird, and season 3 was solid albeit looking back at it with a little time, a ton of it was nostalgia and finally wrapping up everything about TNG.

        Look, Picard Season 03 was in my opinion done to save that series, the two prior seasons were really bad, so they went finally with what was foolproof, fan-service.

        I wouldn’t say there was any need to wrap up anything for TNG, I am not complaining they did, I liked it, but this only happened to save face for the prior two seasons.

          Picard was, IMO, not a TV series, but pure fan service. If it hadn’t been for Jeri Ryan, it wouldn’t have been watchable. The third season was the worst.

          SNW was clearly made to not offend anybody. Solidly made, no experiments.

          Just the right thing to keep an extremely conservative fan base happy.

          Discovery had one (big) flaw:

          Unnecessary dialogues!

          Except for the episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes, they totally ignored the “Show, don’t tell” rule.

          1/2

            Otherwise, Discovery isn’t bad.

            It has quite good characters, good actors and a compelling story arc.

            I didn’t like the overload of visual effects, but this seems to be a thing of our time.

            2/2

              @mina @RootBeerGuy @Evilcoleslaw I have another opinion about DISCO. Good characters? Well, which ones? They are so rarely shown as individuals, that I can’t make any emotional connection to them. Or they are simply annoying. Good actors? Some of them are good, but not the main characters. Constant crying, behaving like stupid teenagers and repeating megalomaniac “only the main character saves the universe” story. The visual effects are unintentionally funny. Flamethrowers on bridge, really?

                I agree about the characters. It’s my main problem with the series. It got a little better as time went on but so many of the bridge crew may have well been extras for the first couple seasons. It wouldn’t have changed anything because it was The Michael Burnham Show.

                The overarching season plots also keep getting more and more worn out as it goes. It’s okay to have the stakes be lower than destruction on a galactic scale. It’s okay to slow down and tell interesting stories and not feel like a panicked mess.

    How is it possible that Picard got more? What are they watching?

      I imagine at least part of it is that it’s seen as likely going to be the last opportunity to give the actors, especially Patrick Stewart, these awards.

      It’s about the basics. More Borg, more awards.

      While assimilation is commonly used to crush helpless worlds, just a few nanites can also be used to swing key votes.

    SNW had too many colors, everybody knows you’re not allowed to win awards with any more than two tones.
