Star Trek Picard S3E5 (spoilers)

[lightofdaye]

I feel like I should have more to say about this one. Spoilers under the cut. Big ones, for real.


So I spoiled myself about Ro Laren's reappearance just before seeing the episode unfortunately. Well it's great to see her back and Michelle Forbes and Patrick Stewart give great performances. There's more there than they can possibly fit in one episode.

Oh and another count of using the 10 Forward set via Holodeck. They must have spent a lot on it!

Everything is good but middle of the series stuff. We get a bit more on the extent of the infiltration and what they might want. Some more Worf and Raffi. There were apparently a lot of TNG/DS9 criminals as Sneed's associates. Including Brunt and Morn! (I noticed morn myself)

And they end finally connecting the Picard and Raffi plot lines, which is good. No Geordi yet though.

Jack's issues are severe but explanations are not forth coming, but at least he apparently confesses them to Beverly at the end.

I audible gasped when she entered! I don't know how I managed to be unspoiled for that. I'm so sad that she got the sacrificial ending and I'm still not sure how I feel about that. Their scenes were amazing, though. I feel like I need to rewatch That Episode before I write my own recap.

I had to read several reviews just to catch all the easter eggs. Morn!

I'm glad Jack finally told someone, geez. There sure is a lot of "trust no one" going around, but he's the last one who should take that to heart.

I'm sad I got spoiled. I'm impressed they kept it a secret and didn't plaster it over the previews.

As to her death.... well we didn't see a body. There's an outside chance she was beamed out or something but they already did a fake out death with Worf so it seems unlikely!

And yeah Jack of all people needs to fess up so they can get to the bottom of whatever his deal is!
