   I gave Picard a try after downloading a torrent. After a few episodes I gave   
   up. To me it is an empty shell of TNG. I would do a complete review but that   
   would require a complete viewing of the season.    
      
   Like the reboot movies, the show is made for young people who grew up without   
   Star Trek. The franchise is done with, if you ask me. At least I have the dvd   
   collections of TOS, TNG, and DS9. I liked Voyager despite the rushed finale   
   season.   
      
   During his promo tour of the talkshow circuit, Stewart said that the show would   
   be specifically written to combat Trump. I knew it was going to be a steaming   
   pile of turds. I'm surprised he didn't cast DeNiro.   
      
   Star Trek died with Roddenberry.
