I (mid 30s) think Picard actually works -- but only with the first season taken as a unit and including the finale. The entire season basically needs to be thought of as a single long movie. I don't want to spoil anything, but to me, the way the big threat was resolved perfectly captures that idealism that is synonymous with Star Trek.
Short Treks also felt strong to me. It showed that the people making Discovery can make Star Trek work, if freed from the constraints of having to build a season long plot and appease the right focus groups.
Discovery itself, on the other hand... It can be enjoyable at times, but one needs to forget that it's supposed to be Star Trek.

In my opinion, the season peaked at the two big Picard speeches. Avoiding spoilers I will say they should have not hit the reset button on a significant last-episode event and the series would thereafter be the crew carrying on the in the spirit of that event's significance.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoI'm willing to agree, but I'm still pissed off about the Borg subplot (not spoiling much, IIRC even trailers mentioned Borg). It was one of those things that built anticipation and then got completely thrown away.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoYeah, that was lame.
- vimy 5y agoThe ship design in Picard didn’t feel trek. Like it was a different franchise. The nostalgia moments were the best but overal I didn’t liked the overal tone and storyline.
- tjpnz 5y agoNot that there was even much ship design to begin with. The ship Picard travelled aboard felt like a ripoff of the Nebuchadnezzar, the ships in the battle at the end were all the same ship from Discovery.
