/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Starting on point 2 with TNG, I'd recommend going back more or less where you left off. Season 3 is where things finally start to gel with the crew and most of the writing. Expect the occasional speedbump along the way (oddly more with season 7, but that's because it was used as a dumping ground for unused story ideas).
As for Picard: there's a fair amount of weak writing, a lot of exposition without showcase, underdeveloped secondary/tertiary characters, and a good amount of fanservice. I'll admit, the fanservice actually helped season 3, despite Patrick Stewart's disdain. Terry Matalas salvaged, to whatever degree, the shows last hurrah. Probably faced a ton of studio interference, but I still view his work as a general success.
