Wow, what happened to this thread. Came here to post about Picard, not holodeck debauchery.
Anyway, I liked it.
Spoiler!
It is weird that they changed the Romulan look again to make them look more like Vulcans like they did in TOS. However, I do like that look better than the major eyebrow ridges they had in TNG. I never understood why Star Trek has to keep changing the look of the aliens. I mean, make new aliens if you want a different look, but I digress.
Picard is still Picard, even if he’s not the Captain of the Enterprise or even in Starfleet anymore. The news interview was a good way to sum get viewers up to date without a voice over or screen text, but I guess I would prefer if it was a little more subtle and told over a few episodes. What’s the old saying, show, don’t tell.
I’ve never been a big fan of the classic science fiction trope of personifying machines. Hence, Data or the Doctor were never my favourite characters. I hated how they kept changing the rules on whether they could be copied or mass-produced. Now it looks like they are going full Battlestar Galactica with the androids look like us now. Also, did they ever use that term synthetics before on Star Trek?
