lightofdayeUnrelated note: Discovery Season 5 will be the last and is due out in early 2024. Kind of sad about that and had no idea it was so far from release.
Now Picard spoilers:
Worf and Raffi are quickly become my favourites. Worf playing Good cop to Raffi's bad cop was especially interesting. Still slightly mysterious who he's working with/for if anyone. His introduction segueing into the offer of camomile tea was just hilarious.
I don't really like plotline with Picard and The Crushers in concept but they're doing it well enough if we have to have it. I like both the Crushers' stint helping out in sickbay and being very personable with their patients.
I'm annoyed but expected Riker to be replacement Captain rather than Seven but I hope she ends up in the big chair by the end. Shaw continues to improve his original dickish impression to be a decent-ish Captain. Relieving his star bridge crew for a rest and pointing out to Jack the key issue was hope they were being tracked.
The final revelation that it's a splinter factor of the Dominion is extremely interesting and surprising to follow up so explicitly on Deep Space 9 in a TNG focused season. Very interested in where this was going.
Very rough episode for Picard and Riker and I'm surprised the series went in for giving them such an obvious split.
All in all a good episode that kept us moving. Looking forward to next week now.

Date: 2023-03-06 02:00 am (UTC)I got so nostalgic for Beverly being in sickbay! I really did like seeing them work together and being uncomfortably aware that everyone's injured because of them. Oof.
I'll be curious if Shaw does have his own personal come to Jesus moment. It totally went over my head that he was trying to get Jack to make the connection! I also liked Sidney reaching out to Seven, too.
I was intrigued by this as well! Also, someone write that Worf chats with Odo fic stat!
I was wondering where that argument was going to go and ouch. :( They have much bigger problems right now but this is going to take more than one drink to untangle.
Yes! I really thought it was really well done and, no surprise, directed by Jonathan Frakes himself!
