Re: Star Trek: Picard
it's not creation of the story arc per se (e.g. Q) that I have a problem with, it is what they do with it once they have opened the proverbial can of worms. If they start something they need to make sure they finish it properly and do justice to the character and not do something like the flipping Arrowverse and say "oooo look at all these stories and characters we have got going on at the same time and there is no substance to any of it". You can throw all the money you want at the production and it can look great but without good writers and good story it is all style and no substance.
When you have only got 8-10 episodes in a season everything should be meticulously mapped and scrutinised to ensure you are making the most of the time and the entire story is fully fleshed out with no stone left unturned. The stupid argument which has been thrown around for the last 2 years with regards to streaming versus traditional programming is quality of quantity but with a few exceptions, I just don't see it, definitely not story wise.
