Realistically everyone is going to lose in every timeline if you wait long enough. If the Borg assimilated entire worlds during those centuries, what does it matter if they lose in some far point in the future? Won't undo the damage to the victims.

It was something like thought scans at his death. He died on a biobed, so it stands to reason that the computer was actively scanning his brainwaves or something and those were part of the holograms profile. Convenient, but not completely illogical.
Disagree, S4 of DSC also had very clear themes regarding connection and -especially- communication.
No they weren't. They didn't have enough episodes to explore the ideas they had.
Soong has a long walk back to America.
He probably has a private jet he can call up.
I mean, he didn't get transported with Jurati and the special forces, did he?
Unless he's developed a genetic treatment for jet-lag, he's going to be too tired to be much of a threat.
Data can walk under water. Oh the irony.

I assume he did, he appeared there with them.
I don't think pointless, so much as unsatisfying. Like I said, I think Q is going to somehow reset things and put Picard in a position where he can offer the hand of friendship to Queen Agnes, which means we're probably going to go back to just before the explosion, when everyone's alive and well. But before that (and potentially after) there's a LOT to wrap up in the finale, and the writers need to prioritize what gets screentime. And my guess is that a Raffi and Elnor heart-to-heart didn't make the cut. Holo Elnor absolving Raffi of her guilt at least puts some kind of cap on Raffi's arc, even if it's a weak resolution.
I know no one probably cares what I voted for this episode, but it says I gave it a "2" when I actually intended to give it a "7". I was pushing the scroll down button on my keyboard and it moved the cursor down to the two instead or the seven, and there was no way to edit my vote once I realized my mistake. So while I was not blown away by this episode, I certainly didn't think it was level "2" bad. Such are the dangers of typing with shaky hands and terrible eyesight. 
As Rios was fiddling with Talinn's equipment, I somehow got the thought that he'd stay behind in the present to serve as a watcher. I just got that impression . . . but I don't think it was based on anything substantial! Kind of a have your cake and eat it too. Being a watcher, he'd be able to stay and yet know how to avoid changing the timeline. Or maybe they establish an ongoing need to prevent changes with which he can help. Teresa could be his Roberta Lincoln.
I did not think you did.
I am wondering if somehow it relates to Reenee vs Rene? Reenee should survive the Europa mission which leads to Rene dying in the fire.
Not sure if that's what they're going for because I don't see how it adds to the story or has any meaning beyond names that sound the same.
Away at a boarding school? (He was the older brother.)"I used to imagine seeing her older, offering me a cup of tea, and asking for a chat"
So his dad really looked like that and he did not recognize him
And where was Robert all this time?
I give this one another 8.
It was entertaining in that it (again) didn't just follow the old TNG pattern of moving directly from A to B to C predictably an it had a number of moments I didn't expect. I also like that honestly, in the end this IS a story about Jean Luc Picard and a childhood trauma he's finally coming to grips with. That type of guilt would screw anyone up for life.
The above said, yes, it would have been nice if they made the story a bit tighter and didn't just effectively have the characters running around somewhat aimlessly for a lot of this season. This story could have been tightly told in 5 episodes.
About the only really telegraphed thing is the ultimate ending where we see the 'Jurati blended' Borg Queen and her 'New Cohesive Collective' of Borg who WANT to be Borg.

So yeah, either they're going to really rewrite the Prime Timeline here; or somehow create a 'branching timeline' that is 'saved' somehow thanks to Picard and Q. (Yeah, doesn't actually sound that great to me either - but who knows, I could be 100% wrong here too...
)We'll see next week. PLUS - next week I have the season premiere of a new (yet old)Trek show I'm REALLY looking forward to (
), as well as the "Picard" S2 finale.That could very well be. It makes Raffi pouring her heart out to it make even less sense. But, humans talk to their pets, so I guess it's a natural reaction. I can go with your line of thinking.
Finescale Model magazine once ran an article with a Reliant that had that exact same error.
Well, in a discussion - people like more than someone with the single argument:
"I screamed this show is garbage..."
If that's your opinion - that's your opinion, and it's a valid one - in the same way that someone who likes the show might say:
"I screamed this show is good..."
But yeah, neither opinion as stated leaves much to discuss.
Why would they bring Picard's nephew out of nowhere, who hasn't been mentioned all season?
Only superfans who remember the episode Family and Generations likely even remember him...and probably not his name.
