I am pretty sure this is the 6th Ep in
and I am not sure what to say about this ep . one thing that always has bothered me so far is the English Accented Romulan Narek , I mean no offence to anyone from that part of the world I would have an accent to you also being since I am Canadian so I hear the accent. it is a little hard for me to get past since he is supposed to be Romulan and well unless he was raised on Earth in that part of the world or the Universal translator put in that accent .
I really did like how Raffi describes Picard I never liked the Picard Character seems to be to preen and woosie proper for me and oh no they are going to see Mr Riker the person I really really didnt care for on STNG. back to the EP I am glade that it is finally starting to get going and so far just as I predicted there are only 4 eps left so at this pace they will end with a cliff hanger ep and since I am the first poster I wont give away what happened this ep just look at it so far 6 eps in over ghalf the season and they aer just starting to show a couple of interesting barely keeping me watching things going on one thing though I am glad it is on when it is because i get home around 00:30- 01:00 so I ly in my bed and watch Picard it really helps me get doesy and to fakll alseep

How about a French Captain speaking with a perfect English accent or a Vulcan speaking with an American accent. To me, Narek's accent is fine considering that Harry Treadaway is English. I'm Welsh so almost never hear my home accent on US TV/Films (although RDJ did try for the movie Doolittle) as it's too difficult to get right.

Best one so far was nothing in it that I can say disappointed me though I expected to see more of the borg that had been previewed on the cube i suspect he a later episode if anything is to come of it.

I am getting rather bored with the show, and I really start dislike the look of the Borg Cube interior it's just black walls with white lights it looked way more intimidating in TNG to VOY.

I truly loved this episode it really added depth to Picard as a character, being genuinely terrified of stepping onto the borg cube and how he reacted with flashbacks. Also I liked how they gave a nod to voyager with the tidbit that the Sikarans were assimilated and the borg acquired trajector technology.

Feels like it took 6 episodes for it to actually begin to get interesting (and there are only 10 episodes this season).
I truly loved this episode it really added depth to Picard as a character, being genuinely terrified of stepping onto the borg cube and how he reacted with flashbacks. Also I liked how they gave a nod to voyager with the tidbit that the Sikarans were assimilated and the borg acquired trajector technology.

To be honest that made the least sense to me, he was so scary about the entire thing and meeting the Borg that is a way to big contrast to how he acted in First Contact.

This is definitely a series that lends itself to a binge watch. Waiting a week between episodes is making the story seem excruciatingly slow. Another 😒 from me this week.

This is the best episode in the season to me, I really liked the bit about the borg drones liberated from the collective still being ostracized as a whole. What Hugh said about the XB's trading a Borg Queen for a Romulan one was intriguing, would be cool if they borrowed from STO and have Sela Running Things.

1) Some much needed plot movement at last, although I am really enjoying the slow approach to this and the depth of the plot as well. There’sa lot of different angles going on and a great deal of links to historical stuff from various shows which really makes this series feel like it’s pulling together all of the different parts of Trek. I like that.
2) Hugh and Picard were wonderful together. Great acting from both and I hope they meet again. It was great to see development of the PTSD that both clearly suffer from their past as drones.
3) really good the way the ex Borg were portrayed as exiled but they themselves are actually not bad people. They have feelings when they see their bodies being fixed, they have a community and work together to survive. It was good to see that despite all the chaos of the Romulan situation there is some hope out in the far reaches with projects like this going on.
4) Narek and his sister are really good at being sneaky Romulan spies! It’s fitting that we get some proper Romulan mystery and deception going on and it’s quite a well planned and stealth approach they seem to have too.
Still no idea what they feel they are up to or who they real work for; are they actual Tal Shiar or something else?
5) planet with two moons and lightning..... no ideas on that tbh. We saw some lightning near the place where the guy in the short trek Calypso got dropped off. And obviously there’s the whole lightning storm in space angle from the 2009 film.
I’ve seen some suggestions it could be Omicron Theta; which is the planet where Data was found and which was subsequently stripped by the Crystalline Entity.
6) the trajector gate tech was taken from a DQ species meet way back in S1 of Voyager. The fact that the tech that species used was actually intrinsically linked directly to their planet core and not mobile doesn’t bode well for their existence if the Borg have it now. Another thing to blame Voyager for!
Kinda makes transwarp obsolete though if you can just send drones 40,000LY to assimilate any planet without warning. Maybe it’s power use it massive and it’s simply not practical.
7) I guess all cubes have a queen chamber in them and then one queen dies the nearest cube creates one? That would sort of make sense. In fact Someone on Reddit suggested it’s almost like a game with save files where if the queen dies the collective looks for the most recent file of that queen’s consciousness and loads it back up into a drone; so all cubes have a cell ready for this.
the planet they went to at the end is apparently where Riker lives so I reckon he’ll appear next week with Troi.

I liked seeing the improved/revamped holo-LCARS design.
The Picard-Hue reunion was ok.
That's about it from me.
