The first two seasons of Picard were such a fuckery. The first season almost painful to watch, the second season slightly better thanks largely to Q carrying everything.
Season three? It's exactly what TV Star Trek should be. Perfect, all the way through. Fan service in a way that actually, somehow, shockingly works and is acceptable and doesn't get in the way of the story.
I really hope the rest of "NuTrek" understands what just happened and adapts to build on this success.
