Also: penultimate episode: a musical heist episode!!!!

I must need closed captions/subtitles then. I didnt catch the name, though I do recall 7 saying A name. 

I've heard it's Gouda. 

Toy Story 1, 3 & 4 all have such great emotional resonance. 2 was the one that always feels flat to me because it is just a fun romp with the least amount of emotional weight.

Incredibles 2 was good, it just wasn't wait 14 years good. 

Great background work on the Good Dinosaur though - the rendering in that water looked delicious 

Yes - a strange transition from the “all-american boy” they started with, but an improvement. Poor Eric on the other hand, I mean, Will Friedle made being the dumb character in a comedy work (one of the very finite examples - so many examples of that backfiring in other comedies to create noxiously annoying…

No, their rwlatuonship only worked in a bottle. Soon as they hit earth it dissolved. My worry initially was the show going against this. 

Counterpoint: Pill in The Newsroom?

No & i really hope not. Beyer who wrote this ep also wrote most of the post-series Voyager novels so she has added incentive to keep them canon & the couple didnt survive very long outside of the confined environment of Voyager. 

Only thing i find a little disappointing is that she has this great scientific brain - she had her own lab on Voyager & there space was at a premium! & now she’s a rebel bounty hunter.

The sound engineer weaving the Voyager theme-tune into 7's last line & beam-out in that scene deserves all the awards. I rewatched that scene atvleast 3 times already - i got chills, i teared up, i yelped for joy. 

I didnt realise it was Icheb until after the episode - they recast the actor (even though the OG was portraying Icheb as recently as 2015 in fan-production ST: Renegades), then 7's parting comments as she shot him, left me wondering if it was her & Chakotay’s son (which had me worried was going to indirectly interfere…

I don’t think Stewart would’ve invited Goldberg into Picard season 2 on the View reducing the lady to the verge of near happy-tears - she's an OG Trekkie - that would be too cruel.

She’s listed on imdb for the last 4 eps of this season. She’s listed as a main cast member for MacGyver’s next season so i dont know if she’ll be in Picard s2 to run into Picardo as either Zimmerman or the EMH Doctor if the deal works out. 

On IMDB - Jeri ryan is a listed cast member for ep 5, 7, 8, 9& 10. So she’s in for half the season & we the viewers only have one more ep without her. IMDB isn’t perfect though - didn’t catch her last i checked for ep 4 beam-in tease.

Picard’s a lot faster-paced than the Next Gen series - that was ALL postulation, no fireworks.

Apparently there's an extended version of this vid - is it worth watching or is the standard sufficient?

X-books are renowned for cast shakeups so i wouldn’t exclude him from the X-booty-count yet.

Maybe Emma’s wearing Mystique and she'll whip her off to use as a weapon in a future issue?
