It was.. ok. Season 2 had ... issues and didn't make a lot of sense at times.

I generally like the new Star Trek stuff. I've been watching Discovery as it airs and Picard. Lower Decks is absolutely hilarious and by far my favorite of the "new trek" group, followed closely by Strange New Worlds.

I don't want to say Picard is a hot mess, because it's not quite that bad. It's good TV, has a better story than most TV shows now days, but I'm not sure if it's actually good 'Trek.

I watched the early episodes of season 1. It was interesting seeing him in a
position where he didn't sit in the main chair. From what I saw it looked
like the Federation and Picard were no longer on the same page.

Yes, I've been watching Picard. I feel like it could be better, but I'm curious to see the next season.

I tend to agree. I think Picard is okay (and it's good to see them moving things forward with Picard and other characters from recent Trek), but I feel like it could have been better.

He was retired Picard in the series. Passenger Picard. He ended his own
career by violating orders to let the Romulans die from their own sun going
nova. He has two Tal Shiar agents in his home.

Mo> going nova. He has two Tal Shiar agents in his home.

Are they really Tal Shiar agents? I may have missed something in Picard..

I had a theory about the name "Tal Shiar" that I thought of not too long ago. In the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise", when the alternate timeline was created when the Enterprise C came into the present time, Tasha Yar was still alive and serving on the Enterprise D. She went back on the Enterprise C and ended up being captured by the Romulans (and had a half-Romulan daughter, Sela). I wondered if the name "Tal Shiar" might be derived from Tasha Yar.

There is a graphic novel series featuring Picard during the time the Romulan
star was going nova. Picard was evacuating a colony planet, and the Tal
Shiar didn't trust him. The agents noticed he was preserving samples of
grapes, and he explained part of preserving a culture involves examples of
their labor. The agents came with him to act as body guards, then later
became caretakers of his grapes.

I followed the first season, and he had been retired for close to 20 years.
When he returned to Starfleet to pull items from storage, the receptionist at
the front desk had never heard of him. He had to hire a ship and pilot, and
when he sat in the captain's chair, the ship's captain reminded him that
passengers were not allowed on the bridge. Later on Picard looked like he was
about to sit in the captain's chair, then suddenly remind himself that's not
his role any more.

that's the first season. cristobal rios is the captain of the star gazer and he chose to remain in the past. picard has a starfleet uniform and everyone else in his cast does when they encounter the borg in s2.

do they let anyboy wear a starfleet uniform or do you have to be in starfleet?
i was casually watching it so i wasnt following along too closely.
i have 2 jobs so i dont have the time to go back and watch it all again.

I didn't see it but didn't season 2 deal with alternate realities and Q's
shenanigans? I'm referring to main timeline.

While Season 2 was better than season 1... It's barely above Discovery
in my book... I'm not hopeful for season 3 (apparently last season).
