So I don't think Elnor is going to remain dead? They have a borg queen. Seven raised Neelix from the dead with magic nanoprobes. Picard has seemed oddly hesitant to reference Voyager more than absolutely necessary even with Seven as a member of the cast.
A random nitpick, when the villians shot Elnor last week, it put a hole in him, in the week the heroes use the same phasers and they vapourise?
Ds9 though is getting impressively well referenced with them ending up in the Sanctuary camps from Past Tense as expected. I've been enjoying Seven and Raffi's banter what glimpses we get of their relationship. Raffi being sharp and pissed off with everyone is understandable but not very fun to watch, the show seems to be going back to people ripping into Picard frequently. (It's genuinely not his fault he's Q's plaything after all. And they didn't seem to make a conscious decision to sacrifice Elnor for the queen.)
I find what they are going with Seven very interesting. She obviously enjoys her fully human appearance and that every here has a good first impression of her. The scene with the little girl and then her and Raffi charming the security guard were very fun. I wonder where it's going.
Likewise Rios getting dropped from a height, put in a clinic and then get arrested by ICE was a very nice interesting plot line. I liked him and the doc and his interactions with the kid were all fun.
Jurati getting one over the Queen also good. Interesting that they stayed with Picard's pov from the outside. So no complaints here other than not liking Raffi's plotline.
