I recently saw Star Trek Picard, the first season was okey, season 2 was awful, the season 3 was nice.

Acording some critics last Discovery season is bad, so now I’m afraid of looking a series who has a bad ending, it worth to watch or is as painful as Picard Season 2? Or I should watch Strange New Worlds and Enterprise instead?

    Not Mary Sues:

    Kirk: repeatedly impresses god-like beings with his emotional maturity and reasoning. Fought hand-to-hand with Khan and won. Saved the whales.

    Picard: passes Q’s trials and makes a case for humanity’s worth, multiple times. Proves Data’s person-hood. Survives Carassian torture by sheer willpower.

    Sisko: chosen as the Emissary. Does wrong and suffers no consequences.

    Janeway: holds fast to Federation principles even when it prevents her from getting home; gets home anyway.

    Archer: so important that Daniels and the Xindi both fight over him. Ends the Temporal Cold War and founds the Federation.

    Mary Sue:

    Burnham: starts the Klingon war, freed from prison by a Terran who uses her as a pawn. Gets called out for breaking rules.

    Is this right, @[email protected] ?

      Thank you for the sanity. I get so tired hearing Burhnam being held to such an obvious double standard. I wonder why? What is different about the character?
