I actually felt bad for Agent Wells. He didn't deserve to be fired. He's a good man, it wasn't his fault the Vulcan expedition damn near ruined his life.

At least he got the answers he was looking for.

And who knows, maybe he can parlay his experience into a second career. Best-selling sci-fi author, maybe?

Also I'm curious as to how Q got into the interview room. I mean, obviously he was answering Guinan's summons, but how and why did the FBI let him in? Did he have forged credentials or something? (He was wearing an FBI jacket...)

And I hope Kore manages to reconcile with her father. Yes, Adam Soong still is her father. Doesn't matter whether she was created in a petri dish or a woman's womb, a daughter is a daughter. Adam obviously loves her (otherwise he wouldn't have let Q so easily manipulate him), he's just too proud to admit it.

I think they made it pretty clear that he thinks of himself as her God-creator, he is not her father in any meaningful sense. He 'loves' her as his life's work.
 
Absolutely spot on. These alleged Star Fleet Officers, are an absolute disgrace. Any Officer is Commissioned and to be commissioned they must demonstrate leadership, intelligence, temperament and responsibility, and absolutely none of these clowns have shown any of that.

Raffi wouldn't have made it through the screening process let along pass the academy. She certainly wouldn't have lasted very long if she did because her fitness reports would have shown her to be a terrible officer. There's no way she would have been commissioned let alone risen to the rank of Commander. It's clear that the writers are absolutely ignorant when it comes to anything to do with Star Fleet, or Star Trek, or leadership qualities.

The fictional Starfleet seems satisfied with her performance.


Lead Acid Batteries are nothing like lithium batteries and anyone eating lead and or acid would be in the ER, and likely the morgue,

She also may well have an alien metabolism powering her.
 
Picard reassuring Agent Wells that the Vulcans weren't the monsters he remembered, and the sharing of his own truth, is the embodiment of compassion. And I can't wait to see how Jean-Luc extends that same quality to the dying Q. Absolutely beautiful...

These people only exist in a wrinkle of time, that is going to be straightened out by Piocard's mission to get Rene on course.

Picard is going to murder all of them.

The well being of the mind of a 60 year year old may about whether he was probed by aliens on a scout trip or whether it was a repressed memory about his scoutmaster probing him is beside the point because PIcard is murdering Wells and his entire family in the next couple days.

His feelings don't matter.

As soon as Picard admitted that he was a time traveler, Wells should have shot Picard.
 
Also I'm curious as to how Q got into the interview room. I mean, obviously he was answering Guinan's summons, but how and why did the FBI let him in? Did he have forged credentials or something? (He was wearing an FBI jacket...)
Probably fake credentials. Or maybe he still has some psychic abilities? He also was able to pose as Renee Picard's therapist.

Really I wish the show wasn't so plot driven then we'd get to see things like Q working on a computer somewhere or getting around the city via car service or something.

Also, I think a waitress interrupting Q and Soong's chat in the coffee shop would've been cool and added some tension. Looked like Q was drinking something. Or at least bought something to be allowed to stay and wait.

Little things besides his outburst to Picard and inability to influence Renee with his usual finger snap would add needed depth to our understanding of his frustration at losing himself.
 
Be careful criticizing women or how they dress is a big no no. Even in a tv show. A sign of the SJW and woke band wagon lobby.

I got warned for Raffi looking like a BLANK...
You got multiple friendly reminders to turn away from the path you were on. I see it did not work so NOW you have a warning for trolling...........They will add up fast if you continue your current rabble rousing. Comments to PM.
 
It's actually really weird slang that denotes folks who use ass-backward compliments toward women in a disgusting attempt to get a date or at the very least their admiration.

A crude example would be...
"You're really pretty for a fat girl"
:rolleyes:
I see you too use the Urban Dictionary..............
