Scotty’s appearance was already spoiled by online leaks, but I was happy that he showed up nonetheless. I gotta say, though, I will miss Carol Kane being weird and zany :P

I think Picard S1 had great ideas for new Trek but struggled with execution.

Basically exploring the world from outside of the perspective of Starfleet but very much centred around a character that we all know as basically the definition of starfleet. Great idea TBH.
And in that connection Seven and some of the ideas of the other characters all make a lot of sense.
Beyond that, exploring a world where the federation did something not awesome along with some interesting world building around romulans and AI.

All cool ideas! My main wish with Picard is that it were given more time to breath and work itself out before jumping the gun on its main story ideas.

it’s time to leave the past in the past and move on from Kirk, Spock

I mean, what did TNG, DS9 and VOY do?

what’s it like a 100 years in the future?
what’s it like at the war torn fringe in a space station
what’s it like on the other side of the galaxy without any federation to help.

I mean really, the staleness is getting MCU embarrassing. I really wish fans could step back a little and think about it for a moment. I think the excitement for legacy after PIC S3 indicates the desire is there, it’s just that we’re eating up the nostalgia stuff way too much.

When Scotty turned up I literally sighed. In an episode about the Gorn with a main character with ptsd (La’an) and another with a conflict aversion story arc (Pike), we get a bunch of Scotty performing miracles and back story about how he was an underperforming student. OK! Great story telling guys!

Another dimension of TOS nostalgia is that it’s going to undermine the feminine cast. Kirk, Scotty, Bones, Sulu, Chekhov are all men.
