Does anyone feel like trying to work through what was going on with android-planet?

I might have missed a line of dialogue, but why was it even Soji?

Speaking of matte paintings, I can’t believe that we had two episodes with “Character walk into the Borg cube” and this was all they managed for visuals.

I think they really wanted Elnor and Raffi to have the big breakdown together...even though the characters don’t have much of a connection.

It’s weird, because they give Rios and Seven the big sunset bonding scene.

They should bring back O'Brien next season so that the two can not talk about their existential experiences.

I’m choosing to take it as meta-commentary from the writers.

It’s interesting how cheap these two final episodes looked.

In the grand tradition of the ds9 kitbashes, I wish they done something more creative than just ctrl-c/ctrl-v the finale.

It’s weird, because I might have enjoyed a show where Jean-Luc Picard, Admiral (Retired) struggled a bit more with his past as a borg.

I think that the way the episodes in the first half of the season all split their time between whatever Picard was up to, and the repetitive stuff on the Artifact was very novelistic. The problem is that it didn’t translate well to serialized tv at all.

I was just reading the comments on the Who reviews a few days ago, and it’s interesting how it’s a fairly unanimous opinion that Chibnall’s stuff just isn’t working. 

...That’s the worst possible thing I could say about this show: that it brought back one of my favorite television characters, threatened to kill him forever, and it somehow found a way to make that mean nothing...

Abramstrek was never going to be able to tell a great story about the destruction of Vulcan.

Part of the high expectations were because Stewart was saying this would’t be just another trek series. It was going to be important. It was going to carry on the legacy. etc.

If there’s anything this show could have done, it was give us some pretty spaceship porn. But no.

They were obviously going to kill someone for pathos, and then undo it by golemizing them.

I didn’t believe the show would go with golem-Picard, because it doesn’t gain the show anything.

I’m honestly not sure.

So which was the bigger misfire: Picard, or Twilight Zone?
