This data is ugly and I can’t believe that you didn’t even bother to have a row for the average rating for each series. That’s the single most important data point in whatever you’re trying to communicate here.

I also have no idea what your color coding means. And I’m also bothered by how your colored cells lack gridlines while the rest of the chart has them.

This is truly the worst post I’ve seen on this sub in quite some time.

The final season of Picard/TNG is killing it imo. Yeah, it's a nostalgia fest, but I'm eating it up and loving it. I don't care. It's light years better than the final TNG movie, and it will give them a sendoff that's been long overdue.

TOS is more of a great cultural artifact than a "good" TV show.

The movies hold up, at least 2, 3, 4, and 6.

Over correcting from how badly S2 ended

For me it's the plotting (I haven't watched today's episode) -

• Picard has a secret child that he never knew about, with his best friend, who also has special john wick powers
• Bringing back the Dominion is great, except these are like, renegade super changelings that behave totally differently to the Founders we've already met. Also they've infiltrated the highest levels of the Federation, just like S1 Zhat Vash.
• Hinging last week's episode on Ro Laren. It's great seeing Michelle Forbes again, but there's a lot of presumed emotional resonance for a character we haven't seen in 30 years.

It feels like *Nemesis-*level plotting.

I agree the first two seasons were a huge waste of Patrick Stewart's talents. But they really righted the ship with the third and he has some terrific acting moments. (And Frakes really shines as both an actor and director)

The Roman Empire is doing great as well.

When you do you will see it there.

I am working on a matrix right now for my job. I consider tables to count as visualizations, personally. They are even listed as such in both Microstrategy and PowerBi. I haven't used Tableau for a whole but you can make grids in there too. I think it is subjective, but this counts for me.

I feel like the new episodes of Picard are getting skewed ratings just because this season is a lot better than the last two seasons. It's pretty good but I don't really think it's as good as the best episodes of Deep Space 9.

Grids are listed as a visualization in MicrosStrategy and PowerBi, and I forget Tableau because I haven't used it since 2021 but you can definitely make grids in there. This is a simple one but you can reproduce pivot tables in grids. I disagree a table is not a visualization, just my opinion. Edit for spelling and to correct a point

I’m glad you’re enjoying it (most people seem to be!). I don’t totally agree on S3 but 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I like Patrick Stewart, I like the TNG cast, but Picard has been easily the worst new series for me, possibly the worst overall if it weren’t for TAS lol.

There is still another episode next week.

Well you'll definitely get your "WTF?"s when you get there.

I think it's fair to say the more recent shows have a higher bar to clear in the Golden Age of Television than the 90s-era shows did when they were essentially the only sci-fi on TV apart from X-Files.

Not everyone sees that as a bad thing!

The first two seasons of Picard are a hot mess, but the third season has been terrific. I went in expecting a bunch of empty fan service, but they really delve into the TNG characters and how they've changed over time, and interrogate their relationship to Picard. And that's all balanced with some great action and mystery.

I actually haven’t gotten to SNW yet

They were also hoping for an influx of new viewers (I forget what the cause for optimism was), and they wanted to catch people up on the series. And a clip show was the only way to do that in the pre-streaming era! (I think this was just barely in the VCR era, but you had to be a pretty hardcore fan to tape every episode)

I watched all of TOS a couple of years ago. The very good and great episodes completely make up for it. But most of the episodes are bad or terrible. And it's amazing how many times you could recycle a plot back when you could only watch a show when it aired once a week. Kirk must have talked a dozen AIs into self destructing by introducing them to the concept of a logical paradox.

This is a spreadsheet not a visualization. Let alone a beautiful one. What happened to this sub? Tableau Public might be my last resort.

The latest episode is at 9.3 so presumably that one when this was looked up. It will probably come down a bit but this season has been good. I don’t know if they’ll stick the landing though.

Have you seen the fantasy storybook episode of Strange New Worlds?

Easy! If you don't account for any of the rain or snow then CA is still in drought!
