DVD Review: Star Trek: Picard - Season Three

Star Trek Picard: Season Three
(DVD Star)

I am a lifetime fan of Star Trek and have watched every spinoff over the years. Star Trek: The Next Generation was by far my favorite because of the exceptional cast, especially Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. I was thrilled when it was announced that Picard was coming out as a separate series and waited anxiously for the first season to debut. I was not prepared for the big changes in style for the new series and found many of the characters to be extremely unlikeable. Still, I stuck with the series for two seasons but did not continue to watch it because of how unhappy I was with the writing. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the final season of Picard involves most of the crew of the Enterprise from Next Generation in their final mission together. The writing in this series was superb and the acting even better, especially the villain, Vadic, played marvelously by Amanda Plummer, daughter of the late Christopher Plummer, who also played a wonderful villain (Chang) in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. All of the extras in this multi-disc set are well worth watching, especially the documentaries. If you are a fan of Next Generation at all, you have got to watch this series.
