I really don't get the fawning over PIC season 3. It was bad. I'd love to see more of Ryan in a new series, but only if they recruit writers on par with SNW and lose the phone numbers of those who did PIC.
Yeah, I can’t wrap my head around it either. Easily the worst, most self indulgent season of Trek in my opinion.
But it had the TNG crew back aboard the Enterprise D so for a lot of people it’s hitting the nostalgia button.
It wasn’t great, but it was notably better than season 2 in that it actually felt like a season of a show with some thought put into some kind of continuity. Season 2 was a huge clusterfuck of awful
I would argue that even if season two's ambitions exceeded it's execution, at least it was trying to do something. Still not a season of Trek that I think deserves any real regard, but it did add something new and interesting to the fabric of Trek. And maybe at some point some comic book or novel will actually do something interesting with that thing, because I can't imagine we're ever actually going to see it revisited on screen.
Season three was exactly the dark, cynical mess that everyone complained season one was because Admiral Clancy cursed at their space dad. Jack Crusher is the infallible, ultra special badass everyone accuses Michael Burnham of being. Season three is ideas I would expect to find in someone's first attempt at writing fanfic, not the work of seasoned television professionals.
And, to be fair, both seasons two and three were made by the same people, so the fact that neither of them were particularly good should not be shocking to anyone.
