I was underwhelmed by the Supervisor. She seems to only watch and not do anything else. Gary Seven, in contrast, was the Supervisor of several Agents who actively got involved. When those two were killed, Gary stepped in himself to take action.
I think they work for different divisions of the same organization, with different remits. They may not even be aware of each other. I assume Gary or his successor is still in NYC doing his thing
 
Anyone get the impression that Q is trying to help. This could be a Edith Keller situation where Renee isn’t supposed to go on the mission. Something feels off about this whole thing as Shaun Christopher is supposed to be the main person for the Saturn mission at this time.
I got that sense too. In fact, Rios even said incredulously (paraphrasing), everything gets F'd up because your ancestor doesn't go on this mission?! It's a bit much.

Perhaps she wasn't meant to go on it? Although that's a weird message too. Hopefully, they're working up to something more complex than a single, simple timeline deviation.
 
Eh. Never bothers me. It's a fictional Earth history anyways and most hardcore Trek fans take them for granted.

It's not like they're mentioned often anyways. Cochrane gets mentioned more often than the Eugenics Wars.
I definitely give it a pass. I mean, what're you going to do? Any attempt to fix it to make it align with real history would only cause more complications. I just consider it an alternate timeline to ours.

Hopefully she doesn't return home and kill herself, while Picard waits outside in the snow.

Which it always has been. Changing it every 20 years because some in the audience say "That never happened in real life" is just dumb.
 
Solid episode. It's mad to think we have Q and the Borg Queen in the same episode. And those Soongs really are the trouble makers of the Star Trek universe.
Cred to Frakes again.

Perhaps. But she was hyped as being powerful, had her own minions, and basically you didn't want to mess with her. But she was failing at the one job she had!

And why appear as Laris? I'm really curious if there's a reason. Or did they think it would be cute to reuse the actress? Picard and co. seem uninterested in the fact that she looks like Laris. He's confused by it at first but doesn't press the issue.
 
A 7 for me. About on the same level as last week's episode. More dramatic payoff this week but a noticeably shorter episode that felt more truncated and rushed.
 
So... Was Raffi's, Seven's and Rios' stretch of season completely pointless?
Yup! Lots of wheel spinning (sometimes literally) to fill screen time. The real events in the first half were Agnes and the Borg Queen, and Picard finding the Watcher. Now we're at the point of setting up the situation for the remaining 5 part season.

Simple answer ... Q
 
Seems pretty minor. I'm sure the cops have bigger things to worry about.

My point exactly... plus, we only saw 1 cop woman seeing Raffi and 7 beaming out... we have no evidence any other cops saw that... and even if another cop did, they'd sooner be seen as delusional if they even mentioned people vanishing into thin air... so its likely nothing like that would ever be written in an official police report or even serve as a catalyst for changing the timeline in any capacity that would derail creation of the timeline we are familiar with (with UFP).
