> season 3 was actually quite good While I watched all of it, I was distracted watching youtube on the side, so I didn't pay close enough attention. The following criticism might not stand to scrutiny. I didn't like S3 (just as I didn't like the previous two seasons). An endless violation of SF protocols (random retired people overruling a captain, the entire fleet parading around Earth), bad overreaching acting, resurrecting Data for the n-th time, unconnected story plots (Picard's son, the Changelings' revenge, Borgs), also Borgs who supposedly have Agnes as the new queen and should be friendly now. After the excellent season 1, I'm putting all my hopes into SNW S2.

This comment has a bunch of spoilers in it. I've watched it so this hasn't changed anything for me, but I'm sure many here intent to watch it but haven't had the time yet. Reacting these spoilers may be a good idea.

Based on your comment, I'll give SNW a try. I had not bothered based on 2 seasons of Discovery and 3 episodes of Picard. I just went back to DS9. Also, from the same source as OP: https://www.mewho.com/trek/ https://www.mewho.com/trek/

> Borgs who supposedly have Agnes as the new queen and should be friendly now Spoilers and tangents: It's mentioned in only a throwaway line of dialog in S3 (by Captain Shaw) that those Borg were busy elsewhere. (Though we know not what or why.) Allegedly, Agnes' Borg are the (Memory Alpha canon) Borg Coöperative, an offshoot of the Borg that play interesting roles in Memory Beta canon (several novels, Star Trek Online), though have a different origin from Memory Beta canon and different organization structure and don't properly connect to the VOY episodes hinting at such… This is all alleged as Picard's writers didn't actually give us enough text to that affect, it's all just subtext right now in Alpha canon plus making inferences from Beta canon (and trying not to get upset that they took one of the good, fun ideas from Beta canon and nearly broke it by doing it so poorly). (The fun of the Borg Cooperative [in Beta canon] versus the Borg Collective is that the Borg Cooperative ultimately shows that the true assimilation threat in the Star Trek galaxy, while slower and "more peaceful", is truly the Federation, especially when its ideals gets into a culture's head and won't leave. The Collective is mostly defeated and will never assimilate all of the Federation, but the Federation certainly assimilated enough Borg to form its own faction of peaceful Federation allies.)
