What holy hell is this
Perhaps I'm cynical, but I expect Queen Jurati's kinder, gentler Borg to end up like Riley Frazier's kinder, gentler Borg–they'll say they're voluntary, until they don't get their way. That's when they'll go ahead and take control, in the name of the "greater good."
Leopards don't change their spots. It's in their nature.
Maybe it's a "MAN Band!"
If that were the case, why would Jurati bother saving Earth, even if the methods were somewhat questionable due to limited time frame.
They weren't saving Earth... Jurati Queen was trying to stop some huge anomaly that would have basically destroyed a sector, probably expand even further.
One could argue that's noble, and I'd agree normally... but for the Borg, that kind of damage to space is bad for them because it would likely destroy transwarp conduits, destroy worlds that could be potentially ripe for assimilation, etc.

So we'll have to wait and see when that thread plays out.
Bold of you to assume that plot thread is going anywhere
So you expect them to leave the Plot Thread hanging?
Idiocy of the first degree. Seriously, for all of Berman and Braga's shortcomings they're Orson Welles working on one of his classic films compared to the UPN dipshits who suggested they do that.
From the look of things, this one’ll be controversial….
I think Picard S3:E7 was pretty good.

It's not hanging so much as a new status quo.
I'd rather it go "un-followed-up on," if that's ok.
Great idea...no 'might' about it, please do
Not strictly Star Trek, but Star Trek adjacement. My "controversial" opinion when someone complains about nostalgia:
Nostalgia = The '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s, a.k.a. The Cold War Era.
Not Nostalgia = The '90s, '00s, and '10s.

It's just people remembering warm fuzzy times they were children. Life was simpler, no responsibilities etc. And Star Trek was on.
Now they work, life is stressful and shit is expensive. Everything sucks! But for a whole generation, they're gonna be looking back on Discovery and getting those warm fuzzy feelings.

My controversial opinion is that a lot of what people label as 'nostalgia' is just people wanting more of something they like, or a continuation of things left unfinished. Like I'm not nostalgic when characters show up in the Mandalorian that I recognise from the cartoons, because I saw those cartoons like a year ago. I'm still happy to see them and hyped to see their stories continue. It's not nostalgia that makes me want a new Star Trek series that picks up threads from TNG, DS9 and Voyager, that's just me liking the 24th century setting, which was defined by those series.
I'm not saying nostalgia's a myth, but it's far from the only reason that people would still want to see things they enjoyed in the past. Or were made in the past.

Though the 24th century is really my era, I will admit nostalgia does have a play in this, but for me it wasn't lack of stress, responsibilities, simpler life (which it honestly was), etc.
It was a time when all my family was still alive. I can't help but to look fondly at that era.

I think nostalgia is a desire for things to last. The idea that eternity is written inside humanity in some form and so we crave for something to last longer than it can. It also is a certain level of familiarity that brings a certain level of positivity to us as humans. These people become a part of "our tribe" as it were in a way that perhaps is unexplainable on one level.
I get wanting to see more of what you like. I just go for the balance on the other side: being content with what is given to me.
I no longer have the same amount of warm fuzzies for myself in the past. The present is the only place I can make those changes I wish I had done when I was watching TOS.
