7D.

Right, thanks. I cropped out just the part I was talking about:









I stopped the video when I first saw this go by just to make sure I was seeing what I thought I saw.

It would be kind of funny if they had Spiner come in mainly to do Lore and had him do a Data flashback just to provide a cover for why he was part of the production.

We WERE the Borg.


So what is the "greater evil" from 200K years ago? And have those entities ascended to something more by now? That's where my interest is at the moment.

When the crew was talking they likened it to being approached by a more advanced civilization after discovering warp drive. Combining that and the Admonition would mean that there is a civilization or group of civilizations of AI, aware of us and waiting to do as they will. This could be where Q comes in to 'help' Picard negotiate with that political entity.

Anybody watch the new episode?

I'm forcing myself to suffer through them, yes. This show is ****ing garbage. It is worse than ENT and possibly worse than DSC. This needs to be the only season, but sadly it isn't. Also Alex Kurtzman is a shitty clone of JJ Abrams and they both need to stay the **** away from television, or more specifically they need to stay away from storytelling in all mediums.

Just finished it. Seems to be going off the rails a bit after several really good episodes.

Looks like we now have a Soji version of Lor.

Yeah. That was not good.

"My father had me, but he also made Data, and he never let me forget it."

And Brent Spiner just returned as Lore after all. I'm assuming that reveal happens next week.

I feel like they slow balled the episode. It played like filler. That wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't just done that with the visit to Riker and Troi - and that episode was tighter than this one. Off the top of my head when the group of them came to the android settlement for the first time they actually did a dissolve featuring a reaction shot from every single member of the crew before pulling back to a group shot of them walking up. It's like they took every bit of film they had and tried to dump it in to make a two part season finale. The whole episode was sloppy.

There were a couple of cringe scenes with Stewart in there. The "I love you" scene should have been cut.

They definitely tried to jam every minute of footage in there they could.

Anyway, still enjoyed it. Something doesn't add up, though...

There were a few other cringe scenes (like Rios/Agnes). I actually thought the past 3 episodes before this one were enjoyable and more than fine (with episode 6 being quite good). For me, last night's wasn't good (for a lot of reasons) and I hope it's because they essentially tried to make what should have been a one hour episode into a 2 part finale. We'll see if they stick the landing to all of this.

Saw some Trekkies whining we haven't seen a single starfleet ship.

I'm gonna guess that ends pretty quick in the finale judging by the state of things.

This was the episode where the part of me that really wants to like this show was finally defeated by the part that knows it sucks.
