I don't know it was an ok episode. To me though the last two weeks it felt like the pacing was completely thrown off, suddenly they're in a hyper rush to push things along.


In one episode we had one of the Synth go absolute evil, kill one of her own, free the prisoner, become harbringer (I used that intentionally) and we have a monolithic super synthetic species out there that's going to come in to kick every ones ass. Even the quick turn by Spiner's character. In one episode he went from a bridge between Human's and Synths, to a torch carrying kill all humans. Agnes did the double flip in a hurry as well.


They had some nice moments in this and some nice acting. But they didn't need to rush this and in a sense it made Picard look like a foolish idealist.



They had two seasons, they could have stretched this turn by the Synth out some.



Also it was way to convienient and fast that suddenly one of the Synths knows mind melds, which if you look at the whole of Star Trek, Mind melds and Neck Pinches can only be done by Vulcans. Having a Synth do it bothered me a lot, and having the vision as you humans are too dumb to understand this, and then completely going back to the whole initial human vision of destruction was a bit silly.


I still like the series, but man, this episode and the last one have abandoned story telling for rushed resolutions.



And we know the Borg Cube showing up, while it looked awesome, was the ulimate in Fan services and frankly that Borg Cube should be able to completely kick the Romulan's a$$es due to its super weapons and adaptive technology, which they probably have everything that the Romulans can throw at them in their matrix.
