Maybe they were in the "moment" Guinan spoke of a.k.a. a time pocket?

I'm sure that will change with the next episode.
Long distance Bottling.
You forgot S1's magic wish-granting flute (Thanks, Michael Chabon!)
Maybe she kept it for emergencies?
Right. Because possessing the ability to be objective means having to love everything no matter what. And if you don't LOVE everything then you're just being negative.
I love the show. When it premiered I watched the pilot episode like 5 times that day. I even enjoyed the first season overall when a lot of people didn't. And I thought the first two episodes this season were wonderful and some of the best Trek we've seen in this modern era, and maybe even some of the best period.
When the quality degrades, however, I'm not going to just offer up blind praise like I guess you want people to do.
"Someone without a job, an air freshener that's gone bad and the above post.
Name three things that make no sense."
24th century Rios beams over a medical device and gives it to 2024 doctor who knows how to use it instantly without any explanation. Rios who must have had some medical training would me more qualified. Even picard in TNG could do basic first aid. Enough said."Someone without a job, an air freshener that's gone bad and the above post.

That was my understanding of it - that there just wasn't enough Data left to be able to transfer into a new body, any such attempt would end in failure. There was just this last residual fragment of consciousness, aware of being eternally trapped, and he was ready for that residual half-existence to end now.
You mean the fundamental field replicator with a neurocotamic interface?
(Yeah, Jurati gave it a technobabble explanation that would normally be all that Trek fans need to feel good about a new piece of tech, but because the 'use your imagination' bit had already come first, no one registered the techie explanation).Rios was trying to reassure Theresa, to help her feel better. The device was simple enough to use, and being able to help her patient both reassured her and convinced her that Rios was genuine. If he'd used the device himself, she'd probably have freaked out all the more about what he was going to do with it.
I feel the same way. truth be told I never liked any startrek episodes in which Q just made stuff happen without any plausible way to understand it. It feels like the writers are just making stuff up without any grounding in reality. It mend anything could happen without any logic at any time. I realy hated that.
It's fiction. It's something created by human hands.
Everything is going to be contrived to an extent.
So, a person she trusted was giving her reassurance and helping her out? Like any new experience?
Weird that someone would be so helpful in Picard.
You must hate TNG then and parts of TOS. Because a lot of TNG was made up and Voyager doubled down on the stupid technobabble.
yep. Somehow I’m not surprised to see this kind of thing brought up by him.
of course she get paid royalties (even for the performance, not only for the composition), did you actually expect her to work for free?
I wouldn’t inquire on who needs or doesn’t need money, especially in an economic system as unequal as ours.
as said plenty of times, just because something in past Trek was bad doesn’t mean that’s good if something in new Trek is bad as well.
Hey, PIC is likely never going to rank as one of my favorite Trek series short of Season 3 being something really special so I'm sympathetic with the general "new Trek falls short in storytelling" argument but I think people are making far too big a deal out of a ceremonial bottle being used by an alien woman we've known has mysterious powers ever since Season 2 of The Next Generation.
She's weird and so is her species. Bottles that make screaming noises isn't even in the Top 10 of All-Time Weird Trek Stuff.

It's not a matter of good/bad. It's a matter of how my threshold for good/bad is judging. I won't hold new Trek as "bad" for something old Trek had it in it that was equally "bad" or even worse.
Yup. The amount of weird stuff that has been worked in to Trek is not going to change how I perceive a story. "Oh, no, weird alien does weird things" is about as Trek as Trek can be.
Well the Technobable was something that I could appreciate, as it at least did some efford to be grounded in science, but Q could does stuff tha couldn't even be described with technobable, bordering on pure magic / godlike miracles, which always seemed very lazy writing to me.
not sure what you mean. I found that evocation *really* cringeworthy and no comparison with anything came from me.
Aliens with science so advanced it seems like magic* is a Star Trek staple since....well, the beginning.
* Someone should create a rule or law along those lines.
I really don't understand people getting butthurt when other fans dislike an episode.
I wonder if these people would be yelling at fans for complaining how awful Shades of Gray was when it aired. Or Threshold. Or The Way to Eden. Or any other horrible Star Trek episode over the years, because we've had a lot of them.
These people would be screaming at complaining fans to "StOp WaTcHiNg." If an episode sucks, it sucks. Stop taking it personal. Trek has a long history with crappy episodes, and fans have every right to complain about them while continuing to watch (because it always gets better).

It's worth noting of the "classic" writers of the Berman era, I think Ron Moore was the only one who was a big Trekkie.
In contrast, Kurtzman Trek is full of hardcore Trekkie writers. Goldsman is a huge Trek fan. Chabon is a huge Trek fan. Matalas is a huge Trek fan. Kirsten Beyer is a published author of Trek books. I don't know much of anything regarding the second-stringers used for this season of Picard (a lot of them seem to have worked with Matalas on 12 Monkeys) but there's no doubt that at the top this is a far more fannish writing base than during the Berman era.
Good old-fashioned gate-keeping is no longer considered just a good idea by some, but has become policy.
The fandom, like literally everything else in the world of late, has become extremely polarized and fractured.
It's also worth noting that Jean-Luc reconciled with Robert in Family - well before his death. Holding enough resentment against Robert to have him part of this weird mental fantasy would really cut against that character growth - not to mention be completely irrelevant to a story about his relationship with his parents.
