But even DS9 was much more episodic, a big part of the story of the episode was still self-contained - it's the Dominion War, yes, but this is the one particular episode where they have to recover the Dominion ship, and this is the episode where Nog recovers from his war injury.I think a key part of "old" Trek (and much of old TV shows) is that the major emotional resonant arcs and drama is resolved within that episode. You get a sort of resolution.Picard is not really doing that. You might get new information that puts things in a different light, but there is no story arc that really is finished. It all ties together much more tightly. And I think that means that any moral ambiguities and questionable actions remains unresolved much longer than usually. And some people just don't want that from Star Trek.I like it, however. It is kinda what I hoped for with a new era of Star Trek streaming.--------------Yes. I think most of us (me certainly) have forgotten about it, but there was a TOS episode called "Return to Tomorrow" where an alien suggests some relationship to the Vulcan species and Spock mentions that the archaeological record on Vulcan is spotty and might suggest it is not actually the Vulcan home.Heck, the episode even has a young Pulaski, or rather, Diane Muldaur playing a different Star Trek character!Stuff like this is why I always find it ridicilous that people think they spot some canon inconsistency or something else they don't like and spew that the writers don't know or care Star Trek... They definitely do. They just get different ideas from that than you do.</blockquote>
