Isn't S3 supposed to be the final series of Picard?

I agree. I just wish instead of uss pioneer at fleet museum we saw the nx-01. I just love that shop. I do hope we get a good veiw of the museum.

A finally perfect intro ive been waiting for since anticipation for ST:ENT when i was disappointed (very slowly grew on me). Finally an instant winner. Only took 20 years of waiting but its finally here. Good episode. Love the star base ship leaving dock and music. Just like the original cast movie III

Yes. At least 1 very good episode. Two old friends meet join forces again to save their old friend. The rest can be continued in fan fiction IF the rest of the season will be mediocre.

Had the writers put as much effort into creating a worthy Star Trek plotline as they did the theme music & CGI, the show would have been worth of watching. Instead what did we get? A continuation of every character with dangling bits needing to be put in their place, talked down to, made to seem incompetent in every scene by poorly written 'strong wahhmoon'. Those faults don't take away from the music, especially the cello portion (missing from Season 3 sadly) being brilliant. I'd promised myself I'd never watch this dribble again but something happened, Season 3, Episode 1 actually felt to me a little bit Star Treky. Could the murder of the franchise be undone by economic reality? We the audience don't want to be preached to by woke, talentless, entitled hacks who hate the lore? People will however pay to see a good story.

The score is awesome :)

@@ScifinewsDE Jerry Goldsmith hat eben das Kinofranchise geprägt. Er war echt großartig

What is the name of this music at the end it's always been my favorite but never seam to find the name when I look

@@jonanderson5142 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5d4krKosJ_WZac.html

@@jonanderson5142 its from Jerry Goldsmith , the Score from Star Trek: First contact (end Theme)

It’s better, but it’s a shame it’s not original. Only TNG repurposed Goldsmiths ST Motion Picture theme, Deep Space Nine and Voyager were original, and of course the original ST films and TNG films had their own themes

​@@Edbrad the TNG films still used the TMP theme for the end credits of each film, the opening and closing notes anyway while the middle of the song remained exclusive to whatever movie it was. Other then that spot on.

​@@Edbrad We got a new theme for the remaining credits and the Titan.

​@@Edbrad I don't care how much you nitpick the music is still magnificent. I personally would not spit on two Academy award-winning composers who created those themes. People hate the new Trek they hate this they hate that. Now you got somebody who honors the legacies of James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith and you want something different.

@@Clonest I’m going to go full aspie ADHD Adderall induced explanation on you…..That is a good point about the TNG theme, but I think it still feels a little lazy. I think space between TNG and The Next Generation as well as the fact that it isn’t the same exact piece of music I feel is more forgivable, and can be rationalized whereas using First Contact can’t nearly as much. For me there’s the feeling that TMP was a theme that was more “general Star Trek”, and was kind of a “Next Generation” type moment. It’s really quite different and unique to all the others, it being the first film is just one aspect. With First Contact it feels like it’s a story within a much wider story, since there’s backstory referencing the TV shows Borg/Picard plot. They take TMP theme for TNG as if seeing The Motion Picture, by being a very stand alone film, looking the most like the Original Series, represents a kind of “Next Generation”. Despitethe issues with TMP, the TMP basically represents the classic overall theme of Star Trek of “exploration/seeking out new life, to boldly go” etc. The Next Generation using that theme is kind of making that connection. The music for TMP by Jerry Goldsmith is itself “next generation”, as a significant leap from the Original Series music. Since it’s contained within the first Star Trek film, representing “Star Trek” as if this is the theme of Star Trek in a cinematic setting, the film is so self contained and so much more like an Original Series episode, it’s not a stretch to see why they’d feel okay to use it. There’s another obvious point here…. First Contact also used the theme this way, as did all the other TNG movies. First Contact soundtrack, like Generations, shows you that the TNG theme is “General Star Trek” for TNG. In a similar way to the the original Star Trek theme was “General Star Trek”. The original series theme used before Discovery was used when they wanted us to feel an even deeper more nostalgic confection to Star Trek that precedes the Next Generation theme. The point is… First Contact’s theme Picard uses was this particular film specific, like Generations was film specific. They used The Next Generation theme/TMP theme as the main Trek theme. Discovery is also biasing me against it though, since I wasn’t a huge fan of the theme in JJ Abrams’ Trek. It was kind of boring by comparison to other Trek themes, and totally overshined when they played the Original Series theme. But the worst is when they made Star Trek Discovery which didn’t bother to write any new theme, and just used the Original Series theme. So from my POV, it’s been a long time since we had a good Star Trek theme. Enterprise had that song, JJ’s Trek was passable but bland, and the we get Discovery and Picard. Where’s the original themes? Discovery is just LAZY. Although rather suits the fact that it has such an identity problem when it comes to Star Trek, using the Original series to say “it’s Star Trek!” rather than making it a really strong ST show that didn’t need to remind you. So at this point Picard season 3 using First Contact just feels like a continuation of the laziness. They COULD have totally hire classic Star Trek composers like Dennis McCarthy, who wrote DS9 theme and Generations. I’d even be okay if they had a composer take The Next Generation theme and First Contact and try and create a great intro piece that cleverly combined the two together. But they literally just sound like they used the original First Contact recording, nothing in it sounds like it’s been thought out and meaning put behind it other than that it would be an easy solution for the show’s intro music.

Speaking as someone who only just survived a tumor operation, you can develop cancer at any age. I was 54 when I was diagnosed. 😐

Cancer sucks

And it's the one performing Tess voice on the game at The Last of Us too. I think they remembered she as well.

Advanced age is a risk factor for certain cancers but cancer in the under 50s is very much on the rise. Thankfully, we have better treatments available than ever before.

@@NuclearFridge1 i am 48 now, was 45 when i got my diagnosis. Stay strong.

Classic ST-TMP theme! 😉

if there is one thing I wished they did was they should made the Enterprise-A an excelsior-class ship that way it could've last longer than 7 years.

Let’s just say there’s a lot more nostalgic ships coming up!

Idk, it might be only the first ep

Naa if it gets overused then it loses its unique feel and becomes just another theme.

Hopefully season three will learn from the mistakes of season 2.

Exactly. As much as I enjoyed the first episode, I'm downright afraid to be optimistic, because season 2 started brilliant, and by the end the story made so little sense, even those first two great episodes retroactively turned out to be stupid too.

@Brejan I'm pretty much expecting it to go off the rails after episode 3. Even if it turns out to be the best star trek season ever I'm still deducting a lot of points for the train wreck that was season 2.

@@chrispeplinski7306 There's something awfully creepy about this season, in a good way. The Dave Cullen Show absolutely despised the first 2 seasons but apparently loved this final one.

True but this time things are different

Getting hit with this one after a tribute the same week from The Rookie for being the scariest bad guy the show had. We were lucky to have her.

Annie?

@@barb7124 Annie Wersching. She was an actor in many many amazing projects including being the voice and mocap for Tess in The Last of Us and thus garnering a In Memory of screen in one of their episodes. She also played the Borg Queen last season earning her a For Annie remembrance in the season 3 credits

LOTR and Arrival are better

No… they gave up and didn’t care, and left Terry Matalas to simply end it. Fortunately for us all, he’s an actual fan of Trek and not a hactivist. F Kurtzman. Interesting parallels to some other great things… The Joker comes immediately to mind

@@SpartyCubsFan Are you going to whine "hactivist" anytime anything isn't outdated and conservative?

@@ShadowSonic2 pretty sure my comment was spot on and detailed. Thanks for the troll… as if real Star Trek is “outdated and conservative”. Maybe try next time.

At first I had my deflecter shields up,went immediately to-RED-ALERT !!! My trekie heart couldn't take the nostalgic over load,then I dropped shields and basked in the soothing rays of this theme. LOL. Then cancelled red alert.

​@@powerbadpowerbad Lmao

Lots of cues to the movie era trek. Right down to the graphics in the opening credits and the look the Starbase and Titan.

@@simracer1256 indeed. As soon as “In the 25th Century…” came on the screen I became as giddy as a schoolgirl. 😉

You need to think about something. Patrick Stewart did not want to do this show they had to sell him on it. He has said in more than one interview that he did not want to go back to Picard: he realized how much it it changed his life etc but he was not interested in reprising the character.

Hear hear. So many of us TNG fans are loving this season already. Episode 2 now and it is getting better and better.

@shazman75 I agree it's been great so far! This season is what the show should have been from the start!

A fair number of the Star Wars characters have died as well. Here's something for everyone else to think about: the youngest member of that cast in the TNG crew is 51 years old that's Wil Wheaton everybody else is above the age of 70.

Would be nice, but I do remember Patrick Stewart making his announcement "Jean-Luc Picard is back" in 2020, stating that "Picard" would be unlike TNG. Well, Season 1 and 2 were different. God knows what made Stewart change his mind. Anyway, Star Trek seems to be back on track towards future. May Picard Season 3 lay the course for future generations to pursue the real canon Trek.

@@tebcaeroiihs7067 He didn't changed his mind. In recent pre release interview he said that there will be major "changes" in S3. And Picard is no longer the same man like 20 years ago. He also hinted that other TNG characters changed too. So I'm worried that they will continue "dark" theme of S1 and S2. One of the crew members is likely imposter or controlled by S3 villains.

@@inquerion8867 All I can say for sure is that no other TV show nor any movie so far has appealed me, filled me with joy and anticipation in a way Picard 3 did today - and hopefully is about to do week by week.

@@tebcaeroiihs7067 Plus this season also features the "next generation" of the TNG crew, including Jack Crusher which is (supposedly) son of Picard & Dr Crusher, and LaForge's daughter who is the helmsman of the "Titan." There are likely offspring of other TNG crew featured in the latter episodes. So in a way it's both a nostalgia and a last adventure for the TNG crew and also paves the way for a future "next generation" series, with some children of the crew possibly playing a part.

It’s parts of the end credits from First Contact. Listen to the whole end credits and you’ll see. 😉

Well… I mean… technically they kinda did. Not in the way we wanted (which is more like this season) but think about it; season 1 had Picard, Data, Riker, and Troi. Season 2 brought in Guinan, Q, and Wesley. Season 3 is completing it with Beverly, Worf, Geordi, as well as Riker, Troi, Data (well, Lore technically… but still) and of course Picard. Now, I would much rather have had the first season be like this one where everyone gets in, but then it runs the risk of feeling like Disney Star Wars where everything everywhere only happens to like 6 people.

@@allthingsnerd.4484 Star Wars was always like that though, they always kept it to the same small crowd.

I hear that.

Totally tracks. It wouldn't be the first time someone held a grudge against Locutus/Picard. Not all would be so quick to forgive and move on.

My guess is that the constance has something to do with Captain Shaw. Maybe his parents were aboard this ship. Or he himself?

It’s shaws old ship stop guessing
