Star Trek Picard season 2

Meanwhile, they just let a woman who literally made a complete spectacle of herself 300-ish years in the past... wander off. Also, how TF did she know that song? Pretty sure the Tesla Cybertwat leasing a time-share in her braincase didn't Google up an, " '80s Hits" mixtape for her.

Just... bad, dumb writing.

"Oh, this would be fun!"
"Okay, yes, that would be fun, but does it make sense?"
*handwave* "Eh!"
 
Also, this episode reinforces my theory that "Adam Soong" literally is Arik Soong. Exactly the same guy, he just changes his name a century later. Canonically, the same character. I'm now waiting for an explicit link to appear on screen.
 
So this ship to europa is a big deal, but didn't Khan leave on the botany bay all the way out of the solar system in 1996?
 
They said Renee discovered a "sentient microbe" on Europa or something. Which would actually be First Contact forty years before the Vulcans show up?

Why would the security guards stop chasing Picard just because a woman started singing?

Jeri Ryan obviously wasn't available for the party scenes and they just inserted like one shot of her there later, but even in the later scenes she stood in virtual silence. Do they have to pay her more when she goes over a certain number of lines?

I guess they're making it canon that all the male members of the Soong family are clones of each other and that's why they're all identical? Otherwise it's weird to introduce the cloning angle.

At least Picard actually took control of the narrative for a bit when he spoke to Renee. But what's the point of a robot body if you can still die in car accidents?
 
This episode is when you know the writers ran out of ideas and told Allison Pill she’s going to have to show off her boobs to keep people interested, but she got to a musical number in exchange.
 
Why do I feel like the whole series will end up being someone's dream... like maybe Ron Moore will wake up at the end of the finale and rub his eyes and chuckle, and then Braga will wake up next to him and tell him to go back to sleep, they have to finish Generations tomorrow...
 
We Trekkies really have lowered the bar since Disco premiered, haven't we?

Anyway wasn't this meant to be a follow up to All Good Things? "What did I say to you when last we parted ways? The trial never ends."

Yeah okay thanks John. So ... umm, where the fuck is it? There's 4 episodes left and all they've done is throw various turds at the wall; the only piece that's partially stuck is Mad Jurati and Saucy Queen.

If we think back to the beginning, Q saved Picard and co in the 'splosion and set a series of events in motion that resulted in him ... losing his powers unexpectedly and now plots and schemes like a generic, shadowy antagonist. What's going on? Surely something on a much larger scale is in play for Q to be neutered; he's a high-level reality warper - the most powerful entity conceived in the Trek mutliverse. Is it something to do with him not being well (???). I'm sick of most of my NuTrek conversations ending in a ?. Pull some of this shlock together already.

I think this serialized twaddle works if you enjoy the mystery box journey but are none too fussed about a decent / coherent resolution. Honestly, I'm going to be fucking blown away if they remember to tie every thread up satisfactorily by episode 10.
 
^^You're kidding, right?

Kurtzman has frequently worked with a tight-knit group of film professionals which include J. J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Adam Horowitz, Roberto Orci, Edward Kitsis, Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner, and Bryan Burk.[2] In April 2014, both Orci and Kurtzman confirmed to Variety that they would no longer work together on film projects; they added that they would still work together—but only on television projects.[7]

Remember Lost? Remember how that went? Yeah.

Expect that.

Q only got his powers back during a Picard on the enterprise adventure, by preventing that future he's been hoist by his own Picard.

If that was the case, he wouldn't have been able to get to Picard at all, or snap his fingers to "catch up to him" visually.
 
It never ended, it just consumed itself and died.

StupidLy. Worse than Season 8 ending of Game of Thrones, if you can imagine thAT.

I was trying to come up with a theory that the Q we're seeing in the 21st century scenes isn't the same Q who sent Picard back in time, but rather the Q from the Confederation timeline. And he's trying to ensure that his timeline still comes to pass. The reason he's lost his powers is because there's only supposed to be one Q across all the multiverse but somehow he's been split in two: the good Q stranded in the 25th century, the bad in the 21st. And it's made him go mad too.

It's not a theory that holds up well.
