We the fans waited 19 years for an Indian Jones movie, and we got Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We the fans waited 18 years to see our captain in action again, and we got the equally disappointing Star Trek: Picard. This could and should have been a decent made-for-tv movie at 90 minutes, but at over 7 hours, it got lost in it's own bloat and moved at a glacial pace.
Sure, it was nice to see Jean-Luc being a captain again, for 3 minutes in the last episode. And, we got to catch up with a few TNG characters. But, by the last episode, when the climax was ramping up, I really didn't care about any of the characters, or worry about their fate. The epic final battle promised was neither epic, nor a battle. And, when the titular character has a terminal condition as a plot point, I was mostly annoyed at how they drug out his death scene when anyone could see the "big twist" coming a mile away. I'm sure there will be another season, but not for me.
