Stayed a commander from 2370 right up to her maybe retirement, maybe dropping into the Starfleet reserves.ģ4) William T. She knows Picard wouldn't be there unless there was trouble.ģ2) Commander Deanna Troi then. Definitely a plausible reaction.ģ0) Who at least is another person in the galaxy who is actually happy to see Picard.ģ1) And, like Raffi earlier, is genre-savvy. But Dahj was real.Ģ8) Soji retreating into non-belief. Maybe after fixing Soji's cuts and getting her some shoes.Ģ7) And he gets to pile more misery on her now. Been a rough few hours for her.Ģ6) Yeah.Picard may have wanted to keep that whole "your daddy was an android" deal for a slightly later time. See TNG's "Dark Page" and DS9's "The Muse" for the backstory there.Ģ5) Soji deep in depression. And pausing for another 'hooray for continuity' moment - Deanna Troi had an older sister called Kestra, who drowned shortly after Deanna was born. Apparently made out of the same stuff as the casing on a tricorder.Ģ4) And Picard knows who the kid is. That's definitely a kid with the bow and arrowĢ3) Hooray for continuity! Picard still has an artificial heart. About caps her perfect day!Ģ1) These camera tricks are getting a bit over-used in TV. Soji is of course very much not a veteran of wibbly-wobbly phenomena in space so falls over. Picard is of course a veteran of wibbly-wobbly phenomena in space so is barely ruffled.

Also another episode that's longer than the early ones - praise be to $DEITY.ġ6) Excuse me while the theme tune sends me into a light coma.ġ7) Would have been a nice touch if they'd put Gene's credit up when the theme segues to the Goldsmith tune.ġ8) Nepenthe remarkably Earth-like, even by Class M standards.ġ9) Space bunny! With a unicorn-esque forehead horn so that you know it's a space bunny! Man, I hope the showrunners don't get letters from PETA-types.Ģ0) Sikarian spatial trajector beams Picard and Soji in (wonder what the power requirements for that distance are?). Whichever way 4) has gone, she's at least got some kind of conscience.ġ5) Another ten minute episode intro then. Because that always works.ĩ) And she's still a cardboard cut-out villain.ġ1) To be frank love, if your grand plans could be upset solely by Picard and Hugh then it doesn't say much for the vaunted Romulan reputation for cunning and intelligence.ġ3) Jurati with the $64,000 question there - what, indeed, about Elnor. Point a gun at someone and ask a question. Even by Vulcan standards those are some majestic earsĤ) So either that was a very persuasive mind-meld, and Jurati is doing everything that she's doing of her own will.or she's a Manchurian Candidate.ĥ) Back to the 'present', and very much in medias res.ħ) Rios and Raffi pausing there to be incredulous at Jurati.Ĩ) I see Rizzo is going for the old standard interrogation method. Filling in some of the Jurati mystery perhaps?ģ) A bold choice by the makeup department, putting those ears on Oh. But to resolve it as cheaply as they did.it was the flake and raspberry sauce on a turd-flavoured ice cream IMOĢ) Ah. If they'd had the balls to leave Kirk dead until the third film then at least that would have been something.

Actually, it's a part of why I despise that entire movie so much. Side note - the emotional weight of the Spock death and resurrection in ST II and III is part of why I despise the JJTrek "Into Darkness" glib, neat-and-tidy riff on the idea so much. It's going to have to have more weight than that, and while the writing of Star Trek: Picard has so far been better than that of STD by several orders of magnitude the jury is still out on whether or not anyone at the studio could do justice to that plot point. It can't be just as simple as waving a wand over B4 and having Data's katra.sorry, positronic matrix spring back into life. In "Search For Spock" he gets his friend back, but his son is killed, the Enterprise is Blowed Up Good™ and he and his shipmates are stuck on Vulcan in exile. In "Wrath Of Khan" the Enterprise is saved and Kirk reconnects with his son, but loses Spock. But there were costs involved across the board with that one. "But JRS, what about Spock in Star Trek III?" I think it would cheapen his sacrifice at the end of "Nemesis" some. I'm not sure that I'd be too into the idea of Data coming back outside of Picard's dreams.
