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.
All in all still going to watch where it's going but my unease has returned about the plot direction.

My understanding of it was that Q changed 1 important thing in the past.
And that mystical, magical, mysterious 1 thing is the thing that led Picard down the path of tyranny instead of diplomacy to become Darth Picard.
Now...I get where you're at with the suspension of disbelief, but they are leveraging a lot of this story on the importance of that one thing. For all we know of Picard it seems unlikely that there would be a single event that could precipitate a hard 'jackbooted heel-turn.'
