She left to join the maquis, was labeled a terrorist, then the next time we see her shes just…a commander in starfleet intelligence?

the writing is so, so fucking strange. it can’t get out of its own way.

Ro and Picard are interrogating one another and there’s a decent amount of tension because Ro (of all people!) suspects that Picard might have acted treasonous. OK, sure. it’s a little goofy but I can get on board.

at the very same time, we’re watching Bev discover changeling blood.

then we cut back to Picard and Ro and, pretty much unprompted, Ro is showing her blood to Picard to prove that she’s not a changeling.

not only does this feel a little “hat on a hat” (there was already plenty of historical tension between these two characters!), but like… the way information is doled out feels… backwards??

why show Bev making her blood discovery before Ro cuts her palm to prove a point? why did you show Ro cutting her palm seconds after we see Bev learn that a simple blood test isn’t going to be useful?

before I even had time to consider the possibility that Ro could be a changeling, the show is already asking me not to trust her palm-cutting demonstration. and then I’m just sitting there, flummoxed, not even thinking about the original, decades-long source of tension between these two characters.

absolutely. the more i think about it, the worse it gets. had even been hoping that they'd bring her back, but figured it'd be such a long shot.

also, and maybe i missed it in that mess, but shouldn't picard have told ro about the blood thing, a huge development would be helpful thinking about her security detail?

also picard taking the message on the GIANT screen lol. love that all the text displays (like the one raffi and worf use) are fucking enormous for a few lines of text

it really clicked when ALL the ships were docked at Geordi’s lair. It’s basically fanfic. I’d seen the episode title a couple hours before i got home and was dreading how they were going to pull that in. then all the stuff in daystrom… and the new networked ships like BSG

damn have to admit I was into this ep despite what seemed to be another pretty bad plan from picard and whatever garbage keeps going on with jack. Almost a classic ship takeover ep structure, kept it almost entirely on the titan, and a brisk 45 minutes helped. also that opening nebula looked fantastic

the red door reveal is going to be so dumb, I can’t wait. Not that I’m expecting much but it’s astonishing how bad picard’s lines are.

Bad Craziness wrote:TNG was fundamental to my upbringing and I can’t bring myself to watch this show. I’ve watched the trailer for each season and they all just make me sad. It seems that this show is a sequel to the TNG movies, not the show, so it’s all action and save the galaxy and characterizations that bear little to no resemblance to the show.


Yeah i watched a few episodes of this but it actually stressed me out how weird it felt
