Narek & 'Lt. Rizzo' confirm it in a very strange conversation, though they don't know how many yet.
And she is extremely impatient to find out and not willing to wait more than a week.
She is damn sexy as a Romulan BTW.
Not only are there incestuous vibes, it's going all BDSM now. And she is most definitely the dominant one. :vulcan:
 
Explain this and how it relates to ANYTHING about the Picard show ASAP.
He was talking about "eating crow" if any of his predictions do not pan out.
The pic was just to show that he actually DOES eat crow.
(I believe he said he shot them with his .22)
There was nothing untoward that was meant by it.

Were just dealing with someone who lives a very different kind of lifestyle than most of us.
:shrug:

Disliked the first half of this one but enjoyed the second half. Nice to see an old Romulan ship, Seven, & I like Elnor. Next week looks both cool and ridiculous at the same time. I think my nostalgia is wearing off and I'm seeing the cracks in this show now. Also feels like to me that the first three episodes should have been aired at once, we're halfway through the season and just now finally getting the plot going.

I have problems with this show after this episode, and I HATE that I feel that way.
I'd give it a 7. And that's generous.
 
This episode explored a lot of new lore... like how planetary defense actually works.

The trailer from last week made this look boring, but I found it to be very interesting. Yeah, Picard just kinda gave up on the Romulans. I can see why Nero was so mad at the Federation and Spock now.
 
Was the Emergency Gunner Hologram supposed to be French or Slavic?
I didn't quite get his accent.
 
They went there -

The Wallenberg-class transports are name dropped in this episode. I did a google search on Wallenberg. Full name - Raoul Wallenberg. During the 2nd World War, he was a Swedish diplomat who aided in the escape of thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Nazis. In 1945, he was arrested by the Soviets, disappearing in their prison system.

The weapons hologram is activated when Rios speaks in Spanish, according to the CC.
 
Another 5/10

Painfully slow and deadly dull. Small amount of action at the end. Nothing to write home about, but at least Seven finally arrives but only in the last seconds. Stewart is 10 years younger than Shatner, but looks 10 years older. That has been true in every episode, but this episode was even slower than he is. Hopefully Seven and Romulan warrior guy, sleepy and underwhelming though he is, might finally put some life into this sputtering old clunker. Long overdue to stop hitting the snooze button and crank this thing up.
 
I was ok with the beheading. Not the most riveting pace for a fight scene, but I imagine that Romulan warriors beheading people is SOP for them. The problem is a low-energy Stewart sucking the life out of scenes. God bless him, but it's a snoozer.
