was he already? I stand corrected and will sit down immediatly
Ha, a classic Troi phrase
re: Manu Iniraymi
I stumbled upon an old tweet of him. Looks like he's more interested in playing a part in The Orville anyway. #dignity

Wesley could have easily worked, and ol Wil Wheatons entire life would be different now if he had a new character treatment and good direction.
Make him surlier, arrogant and RIGHT. I don't mean teen-ager surly, but not the wide-eyed GEEE GAWRSSSHHHH guy he was. Dude grew up an orphan. Give him flaws.
Another great episode. I was a little disappointed they recast Icheb and Maddox, I was really hoping we'd be getting all the original cast members for those kinds of characters.
Icheb's death was sad, but I can see why they did it, since it was a good way to get Seven where they wanted her.
Necar Zadigan's character was a pretty good villain.
I was really surprised they found and killed off Maddox so quickly. I assumed we wouldn't see him until at least season finale.
It looks like I was right and Jurati is spying for the Oh. I'm very curious what Oh showed her that was so bad she killed Maddox over it.

Right as a photon torpedo hits the bridge and Worf reports shields down to 87%...
"Captain, I'm sensing much aggression from the Cardassians!"
Dumbest episode of the show so far but probably the most enjoyable. Definitely a turn your brain off and just enjoy the absurdity and action episode. The pacing on this show is atrocious though, this probably should have been episode 3 if the show had any competent editors.
That said... so the Federation now doesn't give a crap that crime cartels are ambushing their ships, kidnapping their officers and ripping them apart for parts?

My biggest disappointment out of this whole experience is that Jammer isn't on board. He's not a Roddenberry Purist. He's a DS9 and BSG guy. Oh well.
EDIT: This is the first time in the current era that he's ever given an episode 1.5 stars out of four. The lowest he ever gave Discovery was 2. So much for "Everyone likes Picard better than Discovery!"

I don't disagree with you. What you're saying is right. But...
3, 2.5, 2.5, 2.5, 1.5 are his ratings. That paints a picture of he liked the first episode, then it's been "meh" ever since. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's turned on it. More like he feels, "Ehhhh...." That's my sense.

I think we all will love and loathe episodes within any given series.
Alas you weren't alone, the alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die newsgroup wasn't exactly an empty corner of the internet. The hate towards Wesley, and many people who directed it at Wil Wheaton, really hurt him.
Personally I loved the character. So did Larry Niven.
Were they orders Picard wouldn't have given? Very occasionally, but Picard has bigger concerns than shouting 'shields up, red alert', he can delegate menial tasks to Riker
Literally a two part episode for that
Apparently Bjayzl was originally intended to be a Caitain

I skipped 10 pages, so sorry if this was brought up already.

Nope, first I'd heard of it.
tbh, I'm not sure if Goldman and Frakes were joking or not. They SOUND an awful lot like they were.
This is the first episode I’ve disliked. The opening was gratuitous, the Rafi and son scene was hamhanded and having both Seven and Jurati be murderers does not sit well - particularly the latter.
A 4/5 strike rate is damned good for S1 of a Trek series, but unlike the old forgettable standalones, the consequences of these episodes carries over. There had better be a very good explanation for that Jurati did (hopefully not a simple copout like brainwashing from Oh).
