Star Trek: Picard first aired January 23rd 2020 with a 10 episode first season which ended on March 26. If covid19 hadn't happened we most likely already would have had a second season by now. If we are lucky it will now arrive at the end of this year but more likely it will be early 2022.

When the rumors about a new Star Trek series about Patrick Stewart's character Picard became a real thing I was very excited because finally after 20 years the storyline of TNG, DS9 and Voyager era would continue. This for me was the main reason I was so very excited about the new Star Trek show. For a couple of reasons, to name a few: I was done with the prequels (although I am a fan of Star Trek: Enterprise) and it also made it possible to do cross-overs from TNG, DS9 and Voyager, which of course did happen.

A little sidestep about the other live-action Star Trek series, Discovery. I've watched all seasons, and I certainly do not hate it, season two was my favorite, mostly because of Pike, but I find it hard to really love Discovery. I haven't got this problem with the Picard series. I really like the story-line, like most of the characters and of course the cross-overs are and extra plus because it's possible because it continues the TNG era.

I can't wait for season two with hopefully even more cross-overs and also one (or more) from DS9! So till it arrives and this will take awhile indeed, I am rewatching the first season on Blu-ray.

Final thing, what's strange is that on Rotten Tomatoes (16/05/2021) is very well received by the critics (87%) but the audience clearly has a different opinion! Only 56%!
