SNW had too many colors, everybody knows you’re not allowed to win awards with any more than two tones.
Pretty lame, basically just giving lifetime achievement awards to a bunch of beloved elderly actors rather than basing the awards on the shows and performances in question.
I gave up on picard after one and a half seasons
I know I can be picky, but I fail to see how it deserved awards for anything
Well you didn’t watch season 3, which is the season that actually won these awards.
How is it possible that Picard got more? What are they watching?
The worst star trek TV shows and they still get awards.
Worst? I hardly think that.
SNW is wonderful. It feels like old Star Trek in such a wonderful way that sets it apart from the weaknesses of Discovery, even though it was birthed out of Discovery.
Picard was at worst inoffensive. Slow in places, season 2 was weird, and season 3 was solid albeit looking back at it with a little time, a ton of it was nostalgia and finally wrapping up everything about TNG.
Look, Picard Season 03 was in my opinion done to save that series, the two prior seasons were really bad, so they went finally with what was foolproof, fan-service.
I wouldn’t say there was any need to wrap up anything for TNG, I am not complaining they did, I liked it, but this only happened to save face for the prior two seasons.
Picard was, IMO, not a TV series, but pure fan service. If it hadn’t been for Jeri Ryan, it wouldn’t have been watchable. The third season was the worst.
SNW was clearly made to not offend anybody. Solidly made, no experiments.
Just the right thing to keep an extremely conservative fan base happy.
Discovery had one (big) flaw:
Unnecessary dialogues!
Except for the episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes, they totally ignored the “Show, don’t tell” rule.
