That holodeck episode has been my favorite of the show. That whole episode seemed to pay tribute to the Trek films.STLD has a nice holodeck adventure episode, with a great new plot twist at the end. Plus...Sulu!

The Wrath of Khan version, Dr. McCoy being on the bridge is understandable; he spends half his time aboard NCC-1701 on the bridge.😁

Having "Bones" on the bridge in the JarJar Abrams version wouldn't be so bad if--*IF*--he didn't sit at a workstation. Have him standing around being snarky, awesome. McCoy manning the tactical station? Why?😕😕 Dammit Jim! He's a doctor, not a tactical officer. In no versions of Star Trek does the CMO have a workstation on the bridge. Ugh.

The Enterprise D would go into battle and Beverly would sit at Picard's side. Um, shouldn't you be in sick bay to handle potential casualties? Actually, Beverly could hang out with me any day
Geordi was on thee bridge a lot too, but at least he could transfer engineering to a bridge station, which kinda makes sense for him to be there.
Dr. Crusher on the bridge, while unusual, isn't as far fetch as McCoy being on the bridge. McCoy was only on the bridge to make snarky comments at Spock.🤨 Crusher is a certified bridge officer and command qualified. She was in command of Enterprise-D during the renegade Borg incident (TNG: Decent parts 1 and 2). She commanded the night shift on a few occassions (TNG: Thine Own Self).The Enterprise D would go into battle and Beverly would sit at Picard's side.

I grew up in that area. Nice to see it can host events like this to this day.https://twitter.com/TrekMovie currently has some pics from outside the (I'm guessing invite-only) premiere of the 1st ep or 2 of Picard season 3 from TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. https://www.facebook.com/StarTrek/ has some more.
Really nice to see them together smiling like that. I grew up with TNG. The Picard series was hard to watch from a Trekkie standpoint (for me) - I only got through the first season (barely). But it is nice to see them on TV again and it's something I can watch someday. Q is one of my favorite characters so hopefully I can summon the courage to get through Picard again - I hear he came back.https://trekmovie.com/2023/02/10/wa...neak-peak-see-photos-from-hollywood-premiere/ has a few more pics, a special ready room ep and a promo video in a tweet.
Unfortunately, while we have the other TNG stars, the creative team of Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman and showrunner Terry Matalas didn’t bother to grab any of that show’s lightness of tone. Picard remains a grimdark slog, shot on perpetually underlit sets and featuring a succession of increasingly-bleak setpieces. The plot is stretched so thin that the first four episodes turn out to be little more than an extended prologue for the rest. A prologue that could, I should add, have been an efficient, and possibly more enjoyable, hour. The story is so obvious, too, that you’ll be ahead of the characters pretty much non-stop as they stumble from one idiot plot to the next.
I am very encouraged to know I’m not the only one that feels this way.Don’t watch ‘Star Trek: Picard’ season three, it’ll only encourage them
I found that season 1 and 2 lacked the same level of star trekkiness, it was rather dark, and depressing. I'm not surprised that they stretched what is considered the prologue to the first 4 episodes.
I have a friend at work, she's a huge trekkie, and she absolutely hates Picard. There was so much potential, but it missed the mark for a number of reasons.I am very encouraged to know I’m not the only one that feels this way.
This is what I didn't like about some of S3 of Orville. Even I thought it needed to tone down the humor, but it went super serious. Isaac was the funniest one, and that was rare.Don’t watch ‘Star Trek: Picard’ season three, it’ll only encourage them

Data and Spock were my childhood heroes. ......
The only new Star Trek series I like so far is Lower Deck. It is the only one that retains the spirit of Star Trek. Granted it's a sarcastic vision. Truly fitting for the perspective of the down trodden grunts, so unlike the the view from the ivory tower of the elite bridge crew.

I did like it for the most part, but I don't like when shows totally change the genre. If it's supposed to be serious start as a drama and stay on course. I did like how they handled such serious issues and the parallels to other ST like QOrville may go the way of the last season of Enterprise - a strong season, ending in cancellation. But I did miss some of the humor.
Crew going on an away mission in disguise...Ed: "You all look like unemployed backup dancers."

Agreed. I remember as a young kid in the 90s when that episode in TNG came out where Beverly got kissed by that trill woman ... it was in the local news and I remember my parents threatening to not let me watch Star Trek because of that.Unfortunately, nostalgia makes people tend to forget there were also some really horrible episodes of TNG - especially the first season .
