Picard Episode 10 (Finale!)

[lightofdaye]

I think they mostly landed it? Sort of. Major spoilers.


My notes jotted down as I went:

• New Warbirds are ugly
• Seven does your phaser not have a stun setting? You can shoot first! Then again ignoring stun settings is a long running thing in the franchise.
• New Federation ships are ugly. Or in both case, full fleets with so many, so close together does not do them justice.
• When did Jurati become a medical doctor? These last two episodes?
• The Seven/Rios and Raffi/Elnor mourning pairings seem reversed from what I would expect given how close Seven and Elnor seemed to be getting in part 1

Now afterthoughts: It was basically want I wanted to play out, done reasonable well. Another person I read the review of said they felt like the ending with Picard's new body was bit tacked on when they got a series 2 and it did seem a little awkward.

It felt a little, I don't know? On the nose?

Still the end message was positive and it was all fun so yeah. It's a decent first series and I'll be happy to come back to it next time.


All that said, I don't dislike Disco (though I do need to watch most of s2)or Picard but they are very modern, short arc based shows focussing on their central character.

I can't pretend I'm not pining for a 20 plus episode a series with an ensemble cast and mostly stand-alone stories, though.

As I was mentioning to pauraque earlier, I think one of the best things about Picard is that it is a veritable buffet of possibilities for fic.

I was certainly here for the positive Picard speeches and am still digesting a lot of the rest but am overall really into it.

Given how much it shook up the status quo, there is masses of potential for fic about the state of the verse, the fenris rangers, what modern Starfleet is like, everything really.

SirPatStew really can speechify like no other.
