Picard: They say 'Time is the fire in which we burn'. Right now, Renee, time is running out... We leave so many things unfinished in our lives. I know you understand.

Renee: I'll see what I can do.

Picard (to crew): Mission accomplished. And all I did was just repeat some smack the guy who killed James Kirk told me 30 years ago.
lol!
10 years from now and in Star Trek Archer we’ll hear another Gazelle speech.

Q has spent millennia from our perspective with unlimited power. I would not be surprised if in multiple time periods and planets he set up contingency bases with advanced tech stockpiled (sort of like some kind of batcave or supervillain lair) in the event he is ever depowered by the Continuum (it happened once in TNG albeit he was exiled to the Enterprise rather than a planet).
also, how supposed omnipotence was overstated anyway: he has never been omnipotent, only very powerful.

I’m also starting to realise how uncomfortable I am with the flashbacks of Picard’s mother being abused by his father.
I don’t think this is what we’re looking at.
 
I know. But that's not what the other guy was talking about.

That's exactly what I was talking about.

Dozens of hours, is a stretch, but they can shoot different takes to take twice as long or half as long as the script suggests it should take, and there's three cameras following all of it, so there's several different versions of each scene that can be left as a whole or spliced together with other takes.
 
If you're going to spend millions per week give us more content. Because some of these episodes look like an NCIS with alien technology as a subplot.
 
After episode 4 I was getting very disappointed with this season so now I'm just checking in for a spoilers to see if it sounds like it's getting any better. Domestic abuse? Time travel? I guess I'll be back here next week to do the same thing. I was really hoping it with only 10 episodes each episode would actually move the plot along. At any rate I'm really looking forward to season 3

I'm higher on this season than you are, but the last two episodes have been more of the same. Though the Jurati/Borg Queen stuff is making the episodes better than they otherwise would be.
 
6 or 7 depending on my mood.

Pill and Wersching continue to hit it out of the park, the rest is kinda paint-by-numbers. I'm tired of the evil Soongs. They've went to this well one time too many.

And kinda crossed the event horizon with this iteration. Soongs in general are suspect, but this one slides into frame from atop of a pile of dead children. If he lives to the end of the season, I'm going to be cross.

Other than Arik and Lore, what other evil Soongs are there?
 
I’m also starting to realise how uncomfortable I am with the flashbacks of Picard’s mother being abused by his father. it flies rather uncomfortably in the face of Roddenberry’s vision that, in Trek’s future, humankind has ‘evolved’. I mean, I know Trek had frequently pushed the boundaries of Roddenberry’s vision since his death, but domestic violence is still something I find hard to imagine in this vision of the future. Maybe that’s naivety on my part, but, this being Star Trek…it just doesn’t sit well with me.

To pick but two examples, Trek has featured humans engaging in racially-motivated mass murder (TUC) and attempted genocide by biological warfare (DS9). Those are pushing the boundaries, but domestic violence is a bridge too far?

Not to mention that even when Gene was around, there was a whole colony for the criminally insane, where they were brainwashed. That’s Gene’s evolved humans for you.
