It's finally happened. Yes, it'll get a season 5, but no season 6. Whew.

Hmm! I don't know what series we've had here in Australia, but which
ever season it was, it ended with the U.S.S. Discovery and Crew zapping
off into the future .... so I took THAT to be the end of the Series!

How many Seasons can I look forward to before I get to the real end??

I've enjoyed what I've seen of Strange New Worlds on youtube clips, too.
Never warmed up to Discovery.

O.K., so I still have something to look towards! ;-P

I wasn't going to watch any of Picard season 3. The prior seasons were
just so bad that it degraded the TNG/DS9 characters. On your advice I
watched Picard S03E01 through S03E03 last night.

It's the same bullshit and has no joy or humor or humanity. It's just
constant drama, cynical quips, currency/poverty characters, and a dark
view of humanity and the federation. It is very much not star trek.

I do not recommend watching Picard season 3.

It sounds like the series, instead of serving as a beacon inspiration and
hopeful aspirations, as the old series was, is simply a reflection of our
times.

I wonder if an optimistic outlook would even get viewership in our cynical
age. (They're not after my demographic, they want the young, monied viewer
with cash to spend--or phone to tap as the case may be.)

My main thought for most of the season was, "this is so stupid." In addition
to the things you point out, a lot of the plot seemed contrived to the point
of being nonsensical. And yet--the last couple of episodes leaned in *hard*
to nostalgia, and I have to say that they pulled it off well enough that I
stopped paying attention to how little sense everything made. I don't think
the last couple of episodes were *good*, exactly, but I was so absorbed that
I didn't care.
