Warning: Spoilers
What a ride 😁 From the moment it was revealed that the changelings stole Picards body I suspected that Borg would be involved, but I was more leaning towards a story in which changelings would just want to use the tech. A Borg/Changelings coalition (aka the Borglings, or Wechselborg in german) was not on my radar and I would have preferred if it was not again the Borg, as they were a main topic in the previous seasons already. BUT I like where this headed, especially the transporter trick is neat. I didn't like the way the Borg were depicted though, but we'll see where this goes. The frontier day is not an idea that I liked, the Fireworks were kind of stupid and the formation shots looked a bit strange, but the producers love that (we had this basically in the season 2 finale) and surely this was not the whole fleet although they basically say that the whole time. But I assume the same is happening elsewhere, but they could have made that more clear.

But overall I loved it. So much happening. I wonder though why they put so much into the last two episodes while not much happened in the other 8 episodes. Now we have this wonderfull set of the D bridge (!!!) and use it only for one episode? Man, I had chills running down my spine seeing the old gang together on that set, but was immediatly sad knowing it will only be there for one hour max.... And they killed Shaw 😤

Some questions were not realy answered for me though:
  • what did the borg need Jack for? The genetic mofifications were ther the whole time. Is the signal only possible with him?


  • Why need the changelings Picards body? If they work with Borg they have access to the tech already...
  • What about Juratiborg and what went down last season?


  • was it mentioned why the bridge is that from the tv Show, not the one from Generations? I am glad they did it that way but seems not bobvious
  • Why can they have light on old ships but not on new ships (joking)


Can't wait for next week!
