Star Trek fans delivered something that Star Wars fans didn't get, we got an onscreen reunion, an epic send off with the TNG crew, but sadly we didn't with Han, Luke, Leia in the SW sequel trilogy
Star Wars and Star Trek may have been different, but at their peaks in the 80s/90s they were some of the best film you could get. It’s just a shame they both fell so hard from grace. Season 3 of Picard is hopefully a lightning bolt reminder to Bad Robot (and everyone in the entertainment industry) on how to revitalise a franchise. If not, at least this season still happened.
@@akiraaviation8577 Honestly the Kelvin films did revitalise the franchise. The popularity of those films were what spurred the creation of Discovery, Picard, SNW and more! Especially for the younger generations, like the Gen Z (which I'm part of), we grew up watching 2009, Into Darkness and Beyond. The same can be said for the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Whether those films were good, however, can be disputed, but the fact is they brought a lot more new people into the franchises to keep the flame alive
@@axel4196 I think the problem is that the first two seasons so absolutely poisoned the fans against the series, that it took a hell of a lot of convincing for us to come back and give season 3 a chance and I am glad I did
@@weldonwin Strongly agree. I wasn't too crazy about the first couple of seasons. Season 3 was the best! I also noticed that Q is back (awesome!). I thought he was dead. How? Why?
@@axel4196 As he said himself "Oh and here I thought the new generation wouldn't think so linear" and frankly, that is actually a good explanation, considering that for Q, time-travel is a casual party trick and that Q coming to the end of his life is something that may not actually occur for millions of years into the actual future
@@weldonwin Season 2 was fine as well. Season 1 could be told in 2 episodes. TNG ended with a sick Picard that impaired him from continuing his work as captain/admiral. That had to be covered for continuation of the story. People who say only Season 3 was good are just conservative autistic dillweeds. Especially if you try to cancel culture it on rating websites.
4:34 - 5:55 The perfect ending for "Picard" and TNG crew's adventure: Seeing them playing a card game like in TNG's "All Good Things" with end credits rolling and the TNG theme overheard in the background.
James Horner never composed music for TNG, but there are some familiar riffs that Horner would have used. He was no stranger to Star Trek, having composed music for ST 2 and 3. Let us not forget, that the TNG themes were based on the orignal score from Star Trek the Motion Picture.
I truly love this. This is how a proper Star Trek score should be done. In a way, I can describe each individual movement as follows: 0:00 - Picard and Co. celebrate their final adventure together over a game of poker. You can imagine yourself gazing out into the stars as we build into... 1:05 - The classic Jerry Goldsmith theme plays, paying tribute to the adventures of crews that have long since passed. (CUE GOES HERE) - The first 57 seconds of "A New Day" from the Season 3 soundtrack -- Jerry Goldsmith would often use a quiet interlude after the first iteration of the TMP theme. This movement would symbolize the harrowing adventures and battles the old guard had experienced together not just as a crew, but as a family. 2:08 - The next generation of eager, fresh-faced Starfleet officers is ready to take the mantle from their predecessors and forge their own legacy. (CUE GOES HERE) - A "battle theme" from the Season 3 soundtrack, as both old and new combine forces to end the Borg once and for all and prevent them from destroying Earth and the galaxy. Builds solidly into the next cue... 3:30 - The bridge between the old and the new is complete, as one captain's story (Picard's) comes full circle and another's (Seven of Nine) dream has just been realized. 4:30 - Reprising the Goldsmith theme, the new crew of the USS Enterprise-G heads out on their first shakedown cruise as a family -- while honoring the legacy of the men and women who came before them.
@@fatproduce honestly, I liked version one better than version two. Especially when you get to the last queue before the reprise of Jerry goldsmiths theme, it, why was better one than it does in two.
I've edited my breakdown of Version 1 of this piece of music. I've inserted a couple of movements before certain timestamps to help express the story that's been told.
Frederik Wiedmann's work on The Dragon Prince has made me a fan of his. I'm glad he composed for Star Trek as well as pay tribute to Jerry Goldsmith's work!
I love the Titan-A theme absolutely love it.... Honestly the soundtrack in that season of picard should get an Oscar or Emmy it was a mix of everything from star trek 2 the wrath of khan, star trek 6 undiscovered country, star trek generations, start trek first contact, start trek insurrection and star trek nemesis. But the theme for Titan-A has pulled my heart strings.... 😍😍😍
Now that is the Star Trek theme. Its been sorely missing since The Next Generation movies. You cant reboot the franchise as JJ Abrams tried to do without this amazing theme
This really reminds me of the early recording(s) of the theme for TMP, it has a weight to it that is lost with the more techno final version, i recommend giving it a listen if you like this
Oh we can cherry pick seasons? Okay. Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 were very enjoyable, and it should have ended there. Luke and Artoo leaving with Grogu, the door shuts, cut to black. Done. That would have been perfect. Completely deleting Picard seasons 1 and 2 and keeping 3 also very good. My main issue with Picard season 3 applies to all new "Trek", and that is that the writers have no idea that warp speed and hyperspace are two completely different things and set different tones. In Star Wars you can buy consumer and commercial ships that can take you across the known galaxy in a couple of months from end to end. In Star Trek it's a lot slower - like if it had taken Voyager 76 years to get home on its own that would have been at maximum warp - 9.somthing. At warp 6, her actual cruising speed, it would have taken centuries. And that's okay, the point of Star Trek is to be isolated far from home with only your ship and crewmates, with help being weeks away (if they get your signal at all). Different vibe, but that's the point - different vibe. In Picard they travel to a different star system in a shuttlecraft in what seems like hours - heck no that's not how that works in Trek!

star trek is for intellectuals, and star wars is for everyone else, lol.

I'm pretty sure Star Wars fans have received their share of lazy, unoriginal fan service.
Amazing😅
The true final season of TNG. Great send off.
Season 3 of Picard is what season one should have been!!!! Best Trek in decades!!!
I keep telling my friends the same damn thing! This is what it should have been all about! 👍🏽

"Just hoping this isn't the usual way our missions will go, sir."
"Oh, no, Number One. I'm sure most will be much more interesting."

A tribute to the late Jerry Goldsmith using his march; also a tribute to the late James Horner if he also conducted a TNG-era score for *Star Trek*
James Horner never composed music for TNG, but there are some familiar riffs that Horner would have used. He was no stranger to Star Trek, having composed music for ST 2 and 3. Let us not forget, that the TNG themes were based on the orignal score from Star Trek the Motion Picture.

Is @3:30 original to Picard? I have not yet watched the season 3 - waiting for an uninterrupted time to do so.
Star Trek Picard theme love this music to.☺️💖🖖 Yes I'm a Trekkie to.
The ending this crew deserved!
Weird how we got to see the TOS crew age and now we're seeing the same with the TNG.
One day we'll be gone and TNG will be the next generation's TOS.
Absolutely Fabulous. No space jesus or alex Kurtzman to ruin it. I salute you Terry 🫡
try the real one!

Picard Season 3 is what the fans asked for, and we were patient enough to get our reward.

Love that theme
The Titan-A theme sends shivers down my spine, and a much extended version here
excelent mix this cut hits the nail right on the head :)
Where Star Wars failed miserably, Star Trek Picard: Season 3 totally succeeded

Well executed!!!!
Thank you!
You can say this kept me well ENGAGED! 😁
Love this !!
Thank you!
For Annie
Once more into the breech NC-1701D
Watched half of season 1, meh. Skipped season 2. Was instantly hooked on season 3. Holy shit it was so good!
What is the name of the theme that stars at 2:10?
My roots are your roots. WGA.
Admiral Riker is number one.
Atleaste Star trek gave a good send off and didn't kill the main characters
WGA
can't believe they only made 3 seasons of Picard but 5 seasons of that disaster called STD
These guy's are worse than the delta quadrant
Unfortunately, Star Wars was slowly assimilated by the evil Woke Queen a.k.a. Kathleen Kennedy and totally destroyed the beloved franchise forever.
Shes become the Borg Queen of Hollywood
