JEAN-LUC WHO’S TALKING
Liam Lionheart, email I loved the third season of Picard and am looking forward to what Terry Matalas will do next. This is what fans wanted all along.
Much as I’m the party series three has been an exercise in nostalgia over storytelling, Easter eggs over characterisation. New additions like Captain Shaw and Vadic aside, this was a slow build to two episodes of fan-pleasing button-pushing. Television as Comic-Con gathering: made by the fans, for the fans and only for the fans. Which is fine, but should have been earned by a better plot and less reliance on brand familiarity. Like , is now an exercise in nostalgia and reformatting for the next generation. There’s little new but everything is shiny. I didn’t get hooked back in the ’70s on an Apple product manifesto. Hailing frequencies closed.
