I have questions.
Did it seem to anyone that Q maybe was implying that the universe that he has put them in was actually the real universe? or is in some sense? And that everything he has ever done to Picard is precisely because he is space Hitler in the "actual" reality? Because that's what I took from the conversation where Q slapped him. The "trial" therefor was whether space hitler could be good under other circumstances?
Not sure I like Adolf Picard being a thing. Haven't talked to my Dad about it but I can't see him loving that either. Picard is the paragon of diplomacy and virtue.
I did not think this was a bad episode, though I think the pacing of them finding all eachother was very rushed- I know it's asking a lot, but I can only suspend my disbelief so much when talking about space ships and alternate universes and time travel etc. Having to suspend it further to believe that raffi could stumble upon elnor about to get shot for e.g. just seems like a stretch; one that is totally unnecessary too, they could have just plotted in some off camera time or maybe have them just straight up "wake up" together if the outcome was going to be immediately reuniting in large part.
All in all still going to watch where it's going but my unease has returned about the plot direction.
