Didn't expect to see Icheb was like wow and to kill him right away sucked I mean he was such a nice boy. Loved the episode I had assumed that there was more to Agnes than we had seen as she went from meeting with Commodore Oh and suddenly turning up at Picards Farm at the right time as she did. Can't stand the JL reference though it grate's on me and find myself saying FFS in my head every time it's used. Maddox was a strange one not a lot was given from his part in the episode despite the episode centring around rescuing him.

Poor Ichy, glad Seven got to avenge him! Kinda was an odd episode full of unexpected things. I'm looking more forward to Picard getting to the sister finally, hopefully before it's too late.

So, Seven is now a vigilante ranger. Aggy is some sorta double agent herself.
I guess I'm only into this show to see the post-nemesis Starfleet assets (Whatever remains of the Federation & Starfleet anyway lol). That's all.

I always thought the addition of the Borg kids to ST: Voyager was a bit of cheesy writing, but someone CLEARLY hated that worse to snuff out Icheb like that.
In general, Picard's darker, rough around the edges tone makes me wonder what DS9 would be like now, as it was the "dark" Star Trek series back in the day.

1) Nice that we are seeing the dirty underbelly of the galaxy that was often forgotten about in the previous shows. Sure we saw a few questionable looking dives in Enterprise and Discovery, and Picard even got stabbed by a Nausican in one but we never really got to appreciate what the galaxy outside of Federation control was like.
Gives the galaxy a more real feel i think, rather than everything being some weird utopia with only PG-rated violence occasionally breaking out.
2) Quark got a mention! One of Rios' made up references was a Mr Quark from Ferenginar.
3) I like that social media or at the very least something akin to a galactic internet exists and is still full of crappy pop-up ads!
4) Pity poor Icheb got cut up, but i'd rather not bring in everyone and their mother just for some reunion. At least he got a decent story added to him post-Voyager which tied in nicely with Seven.
5) Dr Juratti is clearly not being truthful. I guess Commodore Oh got to her and that would seem to imply that she is now at least aware of whatever terrible secret they know of (assuming Oh is Zhat Vash also).
Oddly though, if Juratti is on the same side as Oh, who in turn is using Bro & Sis Romulan to find Soji and her kin....why kill Maddox? Surely he'd have intel that would lead to more of them if they existed? Or is this knowledge so terrible she's simply destroying any evidence of it to avoid something very bad.

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.

So, Seven is now a vigilante ranger.
I was a bit confused by Seven in the new STO episodes - her character seemed quite different, especially the sarcasm. But after this episode, at least it makes sense / is in keeping with the 'current' Seven. Almost makes me wonder (hope?) there is some tie-in planned to explain her back story between Voy and now... Maybe another comic book series or novel or something...
