Wow ... do you find it that difficult to carry on a conversation without being antagonistic to folks who disagree with you?
Or perhaps the voice of the micro-collective that she'd formed.
Because it’s not antagonistic to put words like “I want a simplistic narrative, etc, etc,” in my mouth? You’re even picking and choosing your social outrage.

I am preparing for a second rewatch, but I did not take this from the show. Though I have to admit it is a possibility.
I took it that the synths themselvs were the threat, and that the destruction was a result of a conflict that resulted. Most likely destroying the creators and created both.
She must have that on speed dial.
It's more about Picard taking a moment of self reflection.
Soong is really old. I noted elsewhere that Ruk has a similar skin tone to Data. Hmmmmm
It was the pay off to the joke, IMO.
Why? Not every half Romulan has to be Saavik. And Saavik is no traitor.
Best he can be is a Locutus
Who did she mind meld into being a Zhat Vash fanatic?
Might be related to why the Qowat Milat are female. There seems to be a history between the two sects.
Who says the Romulan government knew?
So...it's Star Trek?
I thought Kor was dead.
Where's a Hospitality Hologram when you need one?
Heh ... social outrage ... that's funny ... now who's picking and choosing ...
How about just plain old egotistical rudeness on your part.
Anyway,
You were quite correct in an earlier post, but it's you that is not worth wasting words on.
Have an absolutely lovely evening.
Thanks for tone policing me. You have a nice day, too.Heh ... social outrage ... that's funny ... now who's picking and choosing ...

Someone survive, moved eight stars together, and hung a planet under them and left a warning of what could happen.
Bingo. At no point has the show established that Riker was opposed to the Romulan evacuation or that he urged Picard to let the Romulans die. He simply pointed out to Picard, rather ruefully, that dealing with all those Romulans was going to be a long-term headache.
It's the difference between "I knew this was going to suck, but what else were we supposed to do?" and "I knew this was going to suck, so we should have never done it!"
It's possible to point out that a course of action is going to have negative consequences (like being "ass-deep in Romulans" for the rest of your career) while still realizing that the course of action is necessary.
Couldn't the same be said of saying that people are using technobabble for themselves regarding the show?
I think there is a timeline inconsistency, the plaque in the second episode indicated it had been 16 years since an assimilation. Subsequent episode revealed the Shaenor with Auntie Ramdha was assimilated prior and I think we are lead to believe that it's Shaenor and specifically Ramdha that causes the submatrix collapse.
But this episode indicated that the Zhat Vash knitting circle experienced the full joy of the Admonition 14 years ago.
Shouldn't Ramdha be on the Artifact going through a deassimilation facial when she is also have her post Admonition hair pulling fest?

More about the Riker thing: We also need to consider the context of Riker's remark. This was not Riker angrily confronting Picard during an urgent policy debate. "I WARNED you, Picard! I told you your grand evacuation plan was a huge mistake! We should have never helped those no-good Romulans!"
It was an old friend good-naturedly ribbing another friend. "Didn't I say that the Romulans were going to be a pain in the ass?"

Which should have been obvious to anyone watching the scene.
More and more it feels like there is a need for things to be spelled out.
Again, this is picking and choosing what a slight is. That person started a conversation with me with the line “Have you forgotten how computers work?” long before I said the above to them. But, yeah, whatever. I’m the effigy you need to beat. You can have it.Couldn't the same be said of saying that people are using technobabble for themselves regarding the show?
Perhaps except when one is going all out to be critical due to it doesn't make sense so
"It's Not Star Trek".
No, this is being confused by what transpired and trying to figure it all out, and how the hell it got so personal all of the sudden. Hence the
I don't give a crap here about whatever effigy needs beating. This is supposed to be a discussion not a boxing ring.
I was thinking that the Enterprise was going to ride to the rescue of La Sirena and DataWorld. I had been kind of thinking that since the season began and the STFU with Clancy also seemed to foreshadow it.
But maybe it's going to be Seven, Elnor and the Artifact?
