The background to Jean Luc Picard's childhood is finally sketched in during the ninth episode of Season Two. In amongst all the battles, that is: those Borg-infused commandos took some beating - there were some really spectacular action scenes. Jurati and the Borg Queen continue their battle for supremacy of Jurati's body, which distracts the Borg Queen from her nefarious plot to get a 400-year head start on assimilating the universe. Is that a little bit of empathy and sympathy from her? Surely not! Brent Spiner continues to be great, if diabolical, as Dr Soong. Maybe he should have played more bad guys? And the last few dramatic minutes set up what should - hopefully! - be a very good final episode.
