I don't know who this is made for but it's not for Star Trek fans. This is the worst episode of anything Star Trek of the last 20 years. It is ponderous, pontificating. The ending with those insanely long dull monolouge.
Oh guess what? That it took 9 episodes to tell us Picard's mother hung herself? We knew that since episode 3 or 4. Know why? In bad writing anyone with mental illness kills themselves. That's the law. I had hoped she was literally anything else. Even if she was a Romulan. Even a Borg...as terrible as that would be it would be still be better than this. You thought this was a revelation?
I'm going to quote Vsek as they said a couple points I came here to say:
"...half-Borg mercenary failing to shoot Picard while aiming directly between his eyes. Check."
"Raffi and Seven running across two football fields worth of open field with entrenched Borg enhanced soldiers shooting at them and they have nothing but a knife to defend themselves - but are fine. Check."
"Warning your enemy that the weapon he is about to shoot you with is going to explode. And so letting him escape to do more harm. Check."
I didn't care about ANYTHING that happened in this episode. Nothing. ENDLESS MONOLOGUING. Badly directed. Badly written. Poor actors. Poor Roddenberry.
Honestly, I'm wondering if a show called RIKER would have been better and have more energy and motivation. It's just not working guys. Man. Show writers please watch this objectively and ask anyone if they care about any of it?
