While I have a lot of skepticism for executive producersAlex KurtzmanandAkiva Goldsman, I really want to give this one the benefit of the doubt. What this looks like is if they made anotherNextGenerationmovie but really swung for the fences and took some chances. With the exception ofFirst Contact, none of theTNGmovies felt particularly bold. Here, we’ve got Picard putting together a ragtag crew and trying to find a life away from Starfleet. It’s new, it’s different, and it looks like I’m going to have to get a CBS All Access subscription.
