I also think they overdo it sometimes with Worf's verbosity. It's like they are trying to be funny and are going for the joke, instead of always letting it flow naturally. But it often works because of Michael Dorn's deadpan delivery.

Erm… I think they were doing that in The Cage. Then it turned out there were no villains as such. Farpoint… same. Emissary… same pretty much. Caretaker… same. Broken Bow… same.
I think you realised that with your ‘at least sometimes’ in brackets.
Roll on midnight, I shouldn’t be hanging about in here getting spoilers…
Love this theory.What are the odds that an 80 year old Marc Alaimo could be talked into and would be willing to play Gul Dukat one last time as the harbinger of the Pah-Wraiths in PICARD Season 3...
Any resemblance at all?
Another great episode. I wish Seasons 1 & 2 were this good.I loved how Data tricked Lore. I love Worf here, still not feeling Raffi.
While they are dragging the Jack's mystery out a bit, I don't think I agree with it being a mystery box. The writers clearly have an answer to these questions.
When I hear the term "mystery box" i think of examples like the Star Wars sequel trilogy, where mysteries were setup with no planning or answers. Doesn't seem to be the case here.

"I know that me is resting peacefully... but this me... this me would rather be no place else in the universe."
"All that matters is that we are together once more... because I need you. All of you."
Another episode of "I honestly don't care what happens for the plot because the emotional beats land perfectly every. Single. Time." Loved it.

"I liked Data, but if he hadn't died and opened up the first officer slot on the Enterprise, I would've never made captain..."
The episode was decent. I am just annoyed by the way we went from Vadic implying that she was going to reveal who Jack was, to us ending on a cliffhanger presumably right before they reveal what is going on with Jack.
I liked getting Data back ... again. Don't kill him you fucking solids!
It's kind of a weird story at this point. They have thwarted the big bad's plan A before we even understand what it was. I am hoping we get a late episode reveal of who the big bad is next episode. I mean shit, they have no more time to drag it out and no more reasons to do it.
What was the cloaked shuttle that Worf had? Was it one of the Titan's? I was hoping it was the Defiant because why not at this point.

This classic ST line gives this episode a 10!
For me it is almost as good as the "ugly bugs of mostly water".
I quite like the new Data.
The Red Door... It is Richmond behind it? right? right?
I'm a little worried that this is a sign that there's a lack of confidence in the reveal, that they're thinking the mystery gives them more story than actually finding out what his deal is and building on that.
"Thwart" is probably an overstatement. While Vadic didn't get Jack, they'd already pulled whatever they needed out of Picard's brain, and probably delivered it to whoever needed it for whatever they were going to do. Given the changeling security officers who came over with Ro seemed to expect Jack to want to come with them, it's possible "opening the door" will actually turn him to their side.
It was a Titan shuttle, they must've moved the cloaking device from the old Bird of Prey over when Worf and Raffi took it to try and get Riker off the Shrike, and then reinstalled the cloak after they got back.
I guess La Sarina is just sitting in a parking orbit somewhere.
Spiner should have let the season one finale been the end for him. He is the one who wanted Data to die in Nemesis. He died. It was unsatisfying. They tried to make it a little more touching in Picard season 1. Your mileage may vary on how that was accepted. But this? As touching as it might feel, this, in my opinion, it’s a cop out. If it hadn’t been 20 some years since his initial farewell. Had this been the follow up to Nemesis, I might have felt differently. But it feels like an excuse to get these seven characters, who I love, BTW, into the same room again. As a fan who grew up watching them week after week, that excites me to no end. But does it make good storytelling? Where sacrifices actually matter? I don’t think so.
Indeed, the first time I felt it was really justified!
UGH!
Last we saw it was near the “nebula”.
I felt there was a weird romantic subtext from Worf when he was waxing poetic about seeing Troi again on the Shrike? Riker seemed annoyed by it.
Calling back to their romance in season 7 - presumably they ended it because he was too emotionally repressed, and he’s eager to show off his new touchy-feely side. I thought it was very funny.
