    Honestly as this season has gone on, I've started to become more disinterested in it. The story feels quite fragmented which I get as it's meant to be spread out over 10 episodes, but, I feel like they've almost tried to go down this Firefly/Star Trek combo and it's just not working for me.

    In TNG/DS9/Voy we saw the UFP as this "beacon of hope" almost, and now it just feels like they've done a 180 with very little explanation as to why (except Mars being blown up). I'm gunna keep watching, but I'm more excited for the next season of Disco now than the next episode of Picard and I hate that.
    Same here, though I actually liked Discovery, so liking Picard less than Discovery isn't a huge mark against Picard.
    The pacing has been BAD this far with the plot moving forward in sudden bursts.

    I DID not want to see that gory opening, whose messed up idea was that anyway? Did we really need to see anyone getting his eye ripped out and a drill brought to his skull. Didn't even feel like it served the story; they just decided to off one of the Voyager charachters in his cameo, because we can't have Picard dealing with a gangster, we have to have him dealing with a monster, and soak up yet more minutes in the short season to stuff a revenge plot in there that probably has no relevance.

    Maybe that might have allowed a few more minutes to actually explore and foreshadow Agnes killing Maddox (or the fact she seems to be in love with him). Not that it wasn't foreshadowed, when Picard is talking to Maddox, you can clearly see on her face that she's going to do that next scene. And of course they've inflated the vast conspiracy even more, and have still yet to begin paying that off and starting to unravel details about just WHAT it is.

    The action (I guess you could call them that) set-pieces were where neat and fun, but it's just a bit soured by the series constantly wanting to craft even more drama instead of getting to the point.

    I do not understand why Agnis (or whatever the Doctor is called) killed her boss... She killed him in cold-blood in the medbay...Why did she do that?

    I think because she’s been gotten to by whoever is behind this plot to kill the two synth twins.
    She had a visit from Commodore Oh just before she came to Picard’s farm previously and it’s possible she was turned.

    Whatever the antagonists in this story are against its a big enough threat that it scared the crap out of her enough that she’d kill the person she loved to stop his research ever bring out.

    So maybe she is a 'wolf inside sheeps clothing'? oh no

    I do not understand why Agnis (or whatever the Doctor is called) killed her boss... She killed him in cold-blood in the medbay...Why did she do that?
    I'm wondering if she is either a synth herself or really the brains behind the creation of the twins and just pointed everyone to the other guy to get the heat off her...
