A really small blurry sign.
I had to rewind four times and sit up really close to the screen to see it.
I'd be very interested to know what those rules were.
Does that mean that Sanctuary District "composition" is designated at a municipal level?
Fucking Mayors and city council deciding if they are going to be building a concentration camp or a health and wellness center?
Jesus.

could be. Similar places exist in real life unfortunately, some are somewhat decent to live in, many are hell on earth.
Solid 8 after last week, which felt like it was just an excuse to give the cast a Mirror Universe episode.
As others have said, beyond her general affinity for him, there’s been nothing to establish why Raffi was as broken as she was over Elnor’s death. Perhaps there will be something later in the season where there are parallels drawn between her reaction to his death and how Seven dealt with Icheb’s death. And then he’ll come back when the reset button is pressed.
I’m not too keen on the Borg Queen’s characterisation so far. Alice Krige’s seductive style was always the best, with Susannah Thompson’s version more like a generic villain barking orders to her goons. This quippy queen seems more like the holo-queen from Lower Decks, a characterisation that worked perfectly well in that context but not in Picard.

I dunno, this queen seems on par with Krieg's "seductive" queen while having an edge and snark to her. (I've not seen the LD version.) As I said before the "you've impressed me" line just seemed chilling and sinister. The Borg Queen isn't someone you want to impress with your mind.

This Queen as a mentally calculating quality that I like
Can you not? Bisexual erasure is a serious problem in Hollywood and on the internet.
I have been enjoying this season, but this episode was a bit of a let down for me just because of what happened with Elnor.
That being said, there was lots to enjoy. Rios and his reaction to the real peanut butter cookies, the superhero moment for Seven, Raffi’s quick dispatching of the hapless mugger, and Agnes and the Borg Queen’s mind merger and back and forth were all highlights.
The Sanctuary District is both a great call back to DS9 and the Bell Riots, and just a stark reminder of how close our reality is to that vision of 2024.
I’m immersed in the season, and looking forward to seeing where it goes, but with Elnor and Soji two of my favorite aspects of the first season, I’m not as enthusiastic as I’d like to be.

I guess the questionable 2020s fashions of the DS9 Sanctuary District are confined to just San Francisco. Everyone in this 2024 seems to be wearing actual modern menswear and dresses with just one tie.
Damn. Elnor's death broke me. Michelle Hurd is a powerhouse. She made me feel that shit hard.
It also struck my own pain dealing with a recent near-death of a friend.

Well said. Michelle Hurd has been great consistently as Raffi, but the seething emotions she oozed in the scenes after Elnor’s death were particularly powerful.
The acting across the board is great with this cast, with several standout actors and portions of this episode even, and there were moments this episode where Michelle Hurd shined the brightest.
Well, I mean, San Francisco.
I'll have to give that 2-parter another watch; but it's crazy to me we've reached the "future'" date visited by Modern Trek.
It's McArthur Park, not Silverlake. The former has the fountain, not the latter.
Chris Brynner of Channel 90 is still part of 2020s continuity based on a Los Angeles newspaper headline so I guess some things didn't change at all when Q went back to tamper with history.
I am thinking, given the estranged relations with her biological son, he had become a surrogate for him, a band aid over that hole she feels.
The change hasn't happened yet from the character's perspective, they're a few days out from it.
Maybe Jim Bob Picard made an exact replica in California.
Hugo Drax did relocate an entire French chateau - brick-by-brick - to California. Complete with, if the movie's shooting location is to be believed, French hills.
