I'm really confused by the mixed reaction to Star Trek: Picard. Is it because I'm only a casual TNG fan? To me it's great epic space opera. I don't get the complaints about it being hard to follow either.Romulans want to kill Data's daughter and Picard ain't gonna let that happen

I am a very non-casual fan, and I don't really get it either. Red letter media threw a 45-minute tantrum about it which was all about pulling the "We're bigger Trek nerds than the writers" card and I think that really is the germ of most of the complaints I've seen.

As a note, most of their complaints are at best subjective and in many cases, just wrong. For example, they were like, "Why would he keep the kid's banner when he hates kids!" despite the fact he grows very close to them and learns their value in the course of the episode.

He's UNCOMFORTABLE with kids, but it's very very clear if you've watched all the shit that his choice to live the kind of life where he never had kids weighs on him, it's one of his greatest regrets

That's text in Star Trek Generations when his family dies ("There'll be no more Picards after this") But it was there a ton in TNG The Inner Light famously shows him being a devoted father and grandfather and he's racked with pain thereafter from losing that life

The disaster episode with the kids, the episode where he meets his maybe son, it's a recurring theme It's absolutely in character that his last big quest in life would be taking this fatherly role to save Data's sort-of daughter
