Where to start, where to start? So much that I liked about the season finale of season 2 of Star Trek: Picard that I had to rewatch it several times to kind of get my bearings about who and what seemed to leap out at me. Was it the Jurati full circle, the well-hidden fan […]
It’s clear to me that Dr. Agnes Jurati is the MVP of season two of Star Trek: Picard. The good doctor, racked by self-doubt and loneliness, somehow stumbled into a relationship with the Borg Queen, who it must be noted shared many of those same feelings, and completely changed the dynamic of the Borg-Human relationship.

I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the last episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, but by episode eight of the second season, the mission to go back in time to repair the timeline to its proper place would seem to be completely out the proverbial window at this point.

Wow, things seemed to be going off the rails quite nicely in episode 206 of Star Trek: Picard. Titled “Two for One,” we see Dr. Jurati lose her inner battle with the Borg Queen while Jean-Luc Picard suffers injury and mental paralysis after a nasty incident with a car.

I have found the give-and-take of their relationship wonderfully interesting […]

Clearly, when an alternate reality includes a brutal, totalitarian regime that puts down dissent and rebellion with malevolent, violent glee, the phrase “Eradication Day” has more than a hint of darkness attached to it. In episode 2 of season 2 of Star Trek: Picard, Jean-Luc and his crew wake up in a Q-instituted nightmare, assuming […]
Has it really been two years since Admiral Jean-Luc Picard and a host of allies, both old and new, redefined synthetic life within Star Fleet and, of course, saved the galaxy in the process?
