*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!***** After a decent season opener (“The Next Generation”), the second and third episodes (“Disengage,” “Seventeen Seconds” ) of Star Trek: Picard’s third season were in danger of slipping into the same kind of story morass that defined the unsuccessful second season.

Star Trek: Picard warps into its third season with “The Next Generation”…
*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!***** Star Trek: Picard (PIC) has been an uneven ride, to put it mildly.

*****POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!***** April 5th marks Star Trek’s “First Contact Day”—the fictional future holiday marking the creation of warp drive and ‘first contact’ with the Vulcans in 2063 (42 years away). Not unlike that tumultuous time in Star Trek’s imaginary future, the past year has seen some tremendous challenges as well (a deadly global pandemic, an…
