Let’s give Picard some credit, it spent most a season giving us a look at the challenges of building a community while evading immigration officers, and the heartbreak of losing someone whose only crime was being “illegal” or undocumented.

That is a small thing. Meanwhile in Picard you have have the most boomer takes you can get : technology bad, young are brainwashed, fate,… I haven’t seen any science after season 1, and I haven’t seen any progress.

Yes indeed. But the season before that it showed us a planet were romulan migrants took over the planet they took refuge on and made an apartheid for them.
There are a few good things in Picard. There are also a lot of terrible things.

I don’t think that planet was portrayed as a particularly idyllic place…

migrants took over [an area] they took refuge on and made an apartheid for them.
That sounds familiar.

I’d say they took it even further than that - the reason they were in that all-too-relevant “past” to begin with was that they had travelled back in time to an inflection point that could lead to a global descent into fascism.

I extremely disagree but I’d be curious to know your thought process behind saying it. To me, it seems like the biggest thing and that every social issue ever addressed in every Star Trek series has this at it’s core.
