I like those actors too, but nobody should be praising Star Trek Picard in any way.
That episode was just adding to the clusterfuck. Something about a super rare disease that only antielectrons can cure, but reverse charged electrons are unobtainable to retired starfleet admirals with dying kids, and it was somehow Picard's fault.
I guess it was the most memorable episode. They went to a cozy house in the woods where Riker cooks a pizza in one of those outdoor brick ovens, and they all sit around talking pleasantly for a while before smoke comes from the oven, but it was just a slice of tomato that fell from the pizza into the fire, "Burnt tomato!", the pizza was fine. Out of all of season 1, this was the least regrettable sequence to watch.
Agree completely that Retired Admiral Riker's Cooking would be a big hit on CBS All Access. What? Oh.
How do you cancel Paramount Plus?
Congrats on making the first Trek pitch in years I'd actually watch.
(Edit: That's not entirely snark, either. When I grew up I watched cooking shows like Stephen Yan's Wok With Yan and Graham Kerr's The Galloping Gourmet. I'm used to the host being an entertainer and something of a character in his own right, even if only in the same way a stand-up comic onstage is a character. An entirely fictional character hosting a cooking show is actually a novel enough idea that I'd definitely watch it at least once.)
