What do you think this is? DS9? The Cage? Heaven forbid Star Trek is ever as edgy as was allowable 55 years ago.

With the Soji and Narek scenes? Yep.
Give her time.
Who knows what happened to her in the last twenty years, maybe she's outright evolved into a Samuel L. Jackson-style potty mouth, and will start calling Picard mf all the time.

I'm sure she can now adjust her borg implant profanity controller to whatever happens to be suitable for the situation. Children. Sailors. Sailor's children.
I didn't know one could do that.
Neither did I until I managed it. In fact, getting the stream to look like it was coming out the mouth was a happy accident.
I'm getting very bored with this show. My free trial of CBS expires tomorrow and I don't think I'm going to bother with "picard" until it finishes its run and then get another free week to watch at all once. I just don't care to keep up with it anymore.
The story is SO low stakes and so poorly paced. The entire point of this episode was, "And then a NEW member joins the gang" with absolutely zero narrative momentum.
Yes, yes, plenty of more backstory of marginal quality.
And one of the show's biggest issues is just how small in scope and stakes the actual story is. Picard returns to the Romulan colony years after a catastrophic event and the major fallout from his inability to help.
"So, Picard, why have you returned? What is this new mission?" Well, um, it's no longer about saving nearly a billion people....it's just one random android that may or may not already be dead.
It's so unbalanced from the show's own history. It's not that that story couldn't work. But it's majorly hampered by the fact that the show puts so much focus on the events of its own past which are staggeringly more important.

I love that it's the "Anti-Discovery." I was really sick of having two straight seasons of Micheal Burnham saves the Federation/Galaxy/Multiverse. Good stakes in fiction are personal stakes.
That said, the Soji stuff is hinting at the possibility of something quite apocalyptic involving the synths.
I'm curious how do you feel about the Mandalorian? Do you watch it? Because it's season was about the same length, but also had a lot of filler episodes, moreso than this I feel. The 4th episode in of Mando had a Seven Samurai remake. This episode of Picard, also the 4th, felt better than that.
Honestly they're blurring the lines, I spent half the episode wondering if Soji was Control.
all you need now is some bio-babble to explain why romulans vomit / spit orthogonally from their mouths
Am I the only one who thinks The Relationship between Rizzo and Narek is very GOT Jamie/Cersei like?
What if Picard unknowingly is about to save the multi-verse?
Or even better, unknowingly going to destroy it?
No, you are not the only one.
Picard would be the actual destroyer then??
to me until episode 5 thatone was just randomly shooting people - if you binge them all you get a nice star wars feeling, though
