Star Trek: Picard - Season 2 Review, Part 3

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, it's the dramatic conclusion of Star Trek: Picard's second season! I've written about three stories this time:

• 2-08 - Mercy
• 2-09 - Hide and Seek
• 2-10 - Farewell

Plus I wrote a little bit about the season overall at the end. I'm using the past tense here because I put my thoughts down right after watching each episode, which was something like a year ago now. I admit, I could've been quicker getting this published. Still, I'm doing better with this than I did with my Babylon 5 reviews, which were about 24 years late.

There are going to be SPOILERS here for the whole season and earlier Treks as well, but nothing that was released past 5th May 2022. So Strange New Worlds season 1 will be entirely unspoiled. For now.

Star Trek: Picard - Season 2 Review, Part 2

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, I'm finally getting back to Star Trek: Picard's second season! I realise that people are more interested in the third season right now, which is about halfway through at the time I'm writing this, but I need to catch up first. Though to be honest I actually wrote the episode reviews themselves ages ago right after they came out. I just didn't want to publish this until after I was done publishing my reviews of Discovery's fourth season, and that dragged on a little longer than expected. 

Sadly we've lost a member of the cast in the meantime, as Annie Wersching died earlier this year. I'll tell you right now that her performance as the Borg Queen was a highlight of the season for me. She seemed to be having the most fun.

This week I'm covering the middle four episodes of season two, which are:

• 2-04 - Watcher
  
• 2-05 - Fly Me to the Moon
  
• 2-06 - Two of One
  
• 2-07 - Monsters

There'll be SPOILERS for these episodes (and earlier Trek series), but I won't be spoiling a thing about what happens next. Even though I totally could. I know all kinds of stuff about season 3 now.

Star Trek: Picard - Season 2 Review, Part 1

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, I'm writing about the second season of Star Trek: Picard! 

The series was under new management this season, with Strange New Worlds showrunner Akiva Goldsman and 12 Monkeys showrunner Terry Matalas taking over from Michael Chabon, who's been busy developing a different show based on his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. Though Goldsman and Matalas were busy too, with Goldsman helping create a new Trek series and Terry Matalas switching his focus to the third season halfway through, so things were a bit messy behind the scenes. That's normal for Star Trek to be fair, the shows often don't settle down until season three, but Star Trek: Picard's only getting three seasons so it'll be nice if whoever was left minding the store didn't screw this one up.

I'm going to be covering the first three episodes here:

• 2-01 - The Star Gazer
  
• 2-02 - Penance
  
• 2-03 - Assimilation

This means that there'll be SPOILERS for each of these stories and probably some earlier Trek stories as well. I wrote each review right after watching the episode for the first time however, so couldn't have spoiled anything that comes next if I wanted to. And I didn't want to.
