As I wrote before I belong to the generation that Star Trek series (e.g. Deep Space 9, Next Generation and others) were more action packed and less chatty like "Picard" which is too slow with minor action parts just to keep us interested, nevertheless I do understand the script writers need to produce  as many episodes as possible but in my humble opinion they are "dragging their feet" and we the TV viewers and fans end up having a show that is full of talk by more than 90 percent and a few action scenes here and there and we are still on the 8th episode finding out what kind of food they like and other insignificant facts that are making me temporarily stop watching the show and start from Season 2 that might be more "alive".

As for today's episode it is logical for an ex Borg with compatible nanobots and implants to connect and "take over" the cube so again, no surprise there either, I also hope I will not be as old as Picard when and IF they show us his vessel, hopefully a NCC 1701-E or F or which ever is the latest USS Enterprise of their century. I will be waiting for these things hopefully not needing a stasis pod. So let's Live Long and Prosper and see where all this will take us.

Nicely filmed and although the script writers and authors are making an effort to bring us up to "speed" with what have happened so far it far too "slow" in action than previous Star Trek series, but Stat Trek: Picard is still on its 4th episode so I'll give it a few more episodes to see if it will become a bit more "alive" than it already is because for now more than half of each episode has allot of "talk" and NO Action. Having stated my personal preferences I would be biased if I didn't admit the quality of filming and the scenario is of high standards and proudly deserve the cast and the name of Star Trek. I eagerly await to see its progress.

My respects and salutations to all fellow Trekkie fans, indeed after all the long wait for a new Star Trek series I was pleased to watch the first episodes that although they were spectacular in special effects they left me in some confusion and to be more exact, because of my age I have managed to see everything that is Star Trek (series, movies etc) and based on the technology, cultural and ethnic mixture plus the alien species that are included in the United Federation of Planets in this series and last but not least the Klingons of the Star Trek Discovery (in which I am curious on how many mutations have they went under until the Deep Space 9 version of them?), to make the long story short, this latest Star Trek seems to be a bit more advanced in technology ( at least in some cases) than the Star Trek Original Series which is supposed to be at least ten years later into the future, Finally I agree with the comments of BeVar and I hope that the script writers and the producers be a better study of my favorite series and try to blend timelines in a more logical manner and also remind them that not everything is about special effects and how realistic things burn and crash. Never the less I will keep an open mind and patiently watch it just to see how things will progress.
