Star Trek: Picard: Assimilation (2022)
Season 2, Episode 3
8/10
three episodes and still good

I am not sure what happened to Alex Kurtzman, maybe he is too busy to mess Star Trek anymore, so accidentally second season of Star Trek Picard is much better than first one and also than Discovery.

There is a story and story is interesting. Production value is high, there is a nice mood and effects. There is a mix of action scenes and slow scenes but slow scenes are not stupid - there are no boring pointless talks we know from Discovery.

It was a strange idea to call this show "Picard" because Picard is no lead character here, I would say Seven of Nine is right now. However the best character in this episode is Borg Queen. There is not much Q but he is adding to the mood and story. Important thing is that characters are likable (unlike Discovery).

It's hard to say what will happen in next episodes (I mean will they drop the quality) but for now it is enjoyable. There is almost no connection at all to season 1 which was just collection of random scenes and stupid storyline.

Waiting for Strange New Worlds, I hope it will be good from the start!
