Some of the place-setting is necessary, certainly, but I’m still not convinced by NuTrek’s fondness for the “three-hour pilot.” There’s meditative storytelling and then there’s inefficient storytelling.
I understand the complaint about the pace of the show, but I think that I disagree here. I actually want the story to slow down, not cut so much back and forth, and tell the story more from Picard's perspective. Isa Briones is obviously one of the series leads, but I feel that for the story to unfold naturally, we shouldn't see Soji until after Picard heads back out into space.

I am enjoying the pace too.....no "here's 12 news cast members and a new ship and mission" all in 42 minutes and they saved the universe..........this slow cooker method should really get going in another week or so when they leave Earth.
 
Come on be fair you lot, he was never going to keep up with the young synth on the flat never mind the great enemy of this season...

Stairs.

Just ask Claptrap from Borderlands, he understands Picards pain.
 
I'm okay with them circling back around to the Irumotic Syndrome thing, but I really hope they do NOT have Picard with episodes of dementia. Just....don't do that. I'd like to see him (however briefly) act as a captain again, even if it's only once in awhile. I don't want to see his slow decline into senility documented. That would suck.
 
Casual non BBS stalking fans.........ie "normal people" most likely don't know or care what the others look like......
There is no reason to really show the A B or C as Picard never really had anything to do with them as they were before his time.
 
As for the criticism of how the peeps on Mars refer to the androids and how they are being used as 'Slaves'... I thought the scene went to great lengths to show these are not sentient, let alone the dialogue from the previous episode outlining how (at least during the time of the attack on Mars), Data was unique and they hadn't succeeded in recreating his sentience. Still, the whole flashback to Mars was a little jarring and at odds to how we've been led to believe citizens of the Federation 'work' - these didn't look and sound like people who were doing a job to better themselves, they downright sounded like any modern day industrial worker working for the man on a holiday and not wanting to be there at all.
 
I know that an Irish Romulan doesn't make any sense, but Laris saying, "Cheeky feckers," was awesome.
I think it is fine... Romulans are bound to have different countries, accents, dialects, just like Humans. It just so happens either one of their accents sounds Irish... or she learned to speak English (If it's not coming through UT) in Ireland, perhaps? :lol:

That is the thing with supposed Utopia's, some poor bugger has to build it and some other poor bugger has to maintain and clean it.
