Not specific to Picard, but alternate timeline episodes where characters are opposites of themselves make so little sense. Maybe if they were really young, you might come out different. But then to have Picard a General AND 7 the President is a lot to swallow. That, and given the brutality of this future, to have everyone still alive would even be a surprise. So I typically don't like these types of episodes, but they did manage a compelling story on this episode.
I suspect this entire season is going to be Q playing games, and it might get tiresome, but so far this season has been way better than Discovery.
