Man I'm so hyped about this last episode Imposters. I feel like I'm on drugs. My endorphin is on hi level. Quality of season 3 is comparable with best of the best and those are seasons 5 and 6 of Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Star Trek The Next Generation.

Terry Matalas is f.... genius. I want Picard team to film seasons 4,5,6,7,8 infinity. I don't want this to stop. It's amazing. Season 2 and they stupid present day Los Angeles story with dircetors from Desperate Houswives killed me. But season 3 made me live again and I never felt better. I feel great as I felt when I was watching seasons 5 and 6 of TNG and DS9. AMAZING!
Terry Matalas is good but all this worship is weird to me. Also, did they really have directors from Desperate Housewives or is this just an attempt to disparage a series you consider frivolous or unworthy? I'd also like to call attention to the writers of this particular episode. They did good.
 
Jack being an imposter would kind of ruin any arc of bonding with Jean Luc.
That is true. but look at it like this: real Jack wanted nothing to do with Picard, he ends up getting replaced by fake Jack, who was on the run from the rest of the Changelings. But it might have been by accident or something. So, he's feeling remorseful about killing real Jack, so he sticks around with Beverly and then we end up where we are now. Picard never met his son, so any interactions and feelings he would have would be for the replacement. If that would be revealed, the outcome would be interesting.
 
Eliminator Lek is an example of a Ferengi who doesn't care about profit so yeah, I can definitely imagine some Vulcans promoting and even demonstrating brute force to achieve criminal ends.

This may be my head canon but I have always assumed not every vulcan is exactly like Sarek or Spock or Tuvok. There must be a great variability among a planet full of people.

Forget Raffi vs Worf, it should've been Worf vs Vulcan gangster. We've seen repeatedly that Vulcans are supposed to be stronger than humans and Klingons also much stronger than humans, yet I'm not sure we've seen Klingons fight Vulcans before (I can't even remember Spock doing so, and he's only half Vulcan anyway).

Also, when did Raffi become a fighting champion? I don't think that was part of her portrayal in the last 2 seasons...
 
Sybok proves that for sure. A passionate, emotional Vulcan who eschews most of his own culture in the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and isn't hesitant to point a weapon at others to achieve it.
Exactly. I had no problems with Krinn because if Sybok could go off and start a cult based on the acceptance of emotion and even violence in the service of those passions, we could have a Vulcan warlord/gangster scenario without stretching anything.
 
As good as both actors were, Picard nursing a grudge over the Maquis knowing that the Cardassians eventually go to war with the Federation for much the same reason the "terrorists" do is a stunningly massive case of hypocrisy. Especially given the episode cites all the times Picard went against Starfleet including Insurrection.
I think the point was that he is holding on to the pain Ro's betrayal caused him personally.

Dobar dan! Yes, season 3 definitely provides a positive emotional reaction...

Already if current trends continue, I'd place it above every season of VGR. Soon it might overtake ENT season 4 and TNG seasons 4/6, and then only find competition with TOS season 1, TNG season 3, and DS9 in it's prime.
 
No, Not after losing Jadzia and K'Ehleyr...especially considering they were both murdered by someone
K'Ehleyr was murdered by Duras due to her investigating Dura's actions in the conspiracy against Worf and his Discommendation.

Jadzia only died because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time when Gul Dukat beamed aboard when he was powered up by the Pah Wraith.

Even Gul Dukat never wanted to kill Jadzia, she wasn't supposed to be at the location that Gul Dukat beamed in to.
 
Great episode. Didn't expect to see Ro, or for her to be connected to Worf's stuff. I do really hope that Jack Crusher isn't an imposter, it would make his whole thing feel pointless. But, I don't think they're going to go that route. Whatever his deal is, I feel like it will be more complicated but also more satisfying then him being a fake.

I really wish Picard had this syhowrunner from the beginning, the show is just great so far and I really don't see them fumbling it at this point.

Yeah. I know. And?
