Dad apparently didn't believe me when I told him I wasn't watching this anymore...

I managed to watch that cringe-worthy, first season, and honestly, if it takes six episodes, out of a ten-episode season for it to finally improve, you've got a problem. I was able to tolerate it because of the last 4 episodes, but after that, I was done.

I'm going by this mantra when it comes to Star Trek: if the kids can't watch it, Kurtzman is in charge of making it, and it acts like a soapbox for current-day left-wing politics, (very poorly disguised, I might add), it ain't Star Trek.

Dad wasn't pleased, but he's realizing, after watching the first episode, that if they turn this into another anti-Trump orgy, he's out too. He says they're gearing up to go back in time to the year 2024 (sound familiar?) because it was apparently a "flashpoint" that caused disaster in the future. Hmm....? I wonder what could be happening in 2024? Could it be an American Presidential election that will be as contested as the last two? Anyone?

Considering "woke Trek" started in 2016, this doesn't surprise me one bit.

Like I said, this Picard series is shit, and you would all be doing yourself a favor not watching it.

I'm shocked that his vineyard caretaker would wanna get down bad with Picard. Fucking hilarious and embarrassing tryna take advantage of the elderly.

Men like that shouldn't get involved with women unless they are the exact same age or close to it. Romulan women don't count. It's why it was surprising in the movie "Grumpier Old Men" when the old fisherman by the lake was discovered to have been dating the Italian lady's grandmother (nobody knew until after he died), but not unexpected either, considering how old her grandma was. Water seeks its own level, right?
But a synth Picard possibly boinking younger women? Forget it. That would creep out too many people.
