@fmf saidYeah I thought its storylines and landscape got scaled down a bit in S02 but I’m still hoping there’ll be a S03 🤞
Waiting a week is sooo old school!
I've been waiting for episodes of Homeland too.
I thought Discovery S01 was brilliant but I have been having more trouble lapping up S02. Haven't been in the mood for it, perhaps.

@kevcvs57 saidUh oh! Should I have started Discovery before Picard?
I loved it nearly as much as ‘Discovery’ although initially I was annoyed at having to wait a week between episodes I quickly began to look forward to Friday’s more than Saturday’s.

@bigdoggproblem saidWould it be pointless to watch Discovery after Picard?
I've never seen Discovery, and yet enjoyed Picard anyway.

@hakima saidThey do stand alone.

"Enterprise" [4 series] with Capt. Johnathan Archer and "Star Trek: Discovery" [2 series so far] are both PREQUELS to "Star Trek: The Original Series".
I liked "Enterprise" more than "Star Trek: Voyager" but TV executives didn't agree [hence only 4 series]. Both very worthy.
The one I could not get further into than half way through series 1 [out of 7] before abandoning it was "Star Trek: Deep Space 9".
"Star Trek: Picard" is my favourite output from the franchise since "Star Trek: The Next Generation ".

@fmf saidi.e. sour grapes
Picard E10 S01
Picard: "You want to die?"
Data: "Not exactly. I want to live - however briefly - knowing my life is finite. Mortality gives meaning to human life. Peace, love, friendship, these are precious because we know they cannot endure. A butterfly that lives forever is really not a butterfly at all."

While an interesting conversation, I am not sure how this relates to "spirituality". It's just discussion of Star Trek and its environs.
The connection to the "butterfly that lives forever" is a significant stretch, although had the discussion stayed there and existed in the philosophical, it may have found a place here, but it's clear that this was merely a mechanism for shoehorning the thread into the forum.

We can all go back to disagreeing about stuff soon enough...

Perhaps it is the fact that you do not see how the OP relates to spirituality that's the reason you haven't made any contribution to this topic aside from this dreary moaning on page 2.
Otherwise, you would have addressed the OP and not worried about other community members talking to each other on a tangent.

@suzianne saidOn the contrary, I believe that the collision between the notion of life being finite ~ and the aspirations surrounding life being not finite ~ lies at the very core of spirituality and affects the human condition in innumerable ways.
