I always liked how JL straight up dissed Geordi's writing in the AGT timeline.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x04 - "Absolute Candor"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Picard might feel the obligation to make this his personal mission for the same reason he did not ask the Enterprise crew to join him. Data died for one reason only, which was to save the Captain. Data's daughters are his responsibility in his mind, because he is the one responsible for Data's death.
I mean, it's not a big concern for me. I'm just highlighting that his stated reasons aren't completely rational/morally correct here. Picard's choice is understandable, just not "right."
Impossible, since he is a moral Mary S.. Ah , forget it!
It's more like this for me.
I neglected to mention messing around with Jim:
With the bonus of being much younger.
'Nuff said.
I wouldn't say that at all. Even before the movies became Picard and Data's Pals and Gals, there was no shortage of good Picard/Data moments in TNG, particularly concerning Data exploring humanity.
“If you were any other man I would help you where you stand.” Doesn’t quite have the right ring.
My complaint is that this is another episode just wasting time. So, we pop by Planet Rivendell to pick up Legolas (after flashbacking the back story) then Lara Croft ex Machina shows up at the very end to save their asses.
40% of the series is done, and they’re still clearing their throats. GET ON WITH IT!

Unless Worf has spent all these years with (real) Klingons and developed their habits. Sneaking away, attacking from hidden places. The more you look at Klingons that are not living with humans (TNG and beyond) the more you see they are not honorable.
The episode introduced a new character and showed us his backstory and why he would choose to join Picard's quest.
Also, it showed us firsthand how Romulans in 2399 feel about the Federation. We were told earlier in the series of the Romulans attitude toward the Federation after the Fedration's half-completed exodus attempt, but this episode showed us that as well to really drive home the point.
In addition, the episode laid some seeds for Narek potentially gaining some real affection for Soji.
It's Worf we're talking about. The first time he saw other Klingons not living up to his standards, he probably got offended, got himself discommended again, and left for the Nyberrite Alliance in a huff.
People who have moved on with their lives. Would you ask Riker and Troi to come along on a dangerous mission? What with them having a preteen daughter that depends on them. We don't know where the others are at in their lives now.
I think the nun (Ravi, I believe) covered it in the episode. Elrond was on a dead end world with no where to go. She wanted him to get to live some, before he inevitably died on Vashti.
To that criticism she might respond "I'm a doctor (of cybernetics), not an astronomer!"
I jest, but in real life not everyone knows everything about everything, not even smart people. She is relatively new to space travel, which leads me to believe she also might not have that great an interest in how many stars there are in the galaxy.
This bothered me a little as well, but I think he was trying to prove to himself (although he failed) that there was still a strong bond between him and the Romulans. That failure also allowed the writers to show us firsthand the Romulans' current attitudes toward the Federation.

It only became that way once Gene Roddenberry got older and couldn't get a young starlet on a casting couch.
If he couldn't get any no character in the show could either.
According to the book, Jurati was a Starfleet MD before getting into cybernetics.
