How many episodes is this supposed to be again? I figured it'd get half-way through the season before hitting the 'this is terrible' tipping point but it seems like they decided to just skip straight to it.
What are you talking about? This was a marked improvement over the premiere.
I thought the episode was terrific. I cheered when the TMP Klingon music played. Picard finally took command of something after 2 seasons of drivel.
From the gnarliest of critics who hated Seasons 1 and 2 and bemoaned the death of Star Trek, I'm hearing a large contingent has seen the entire season (Paramount released it to them to win back fan favor) and they had glowing positive things to say about this being a real homecoming to TNG.
Raffi does suck I agree 100%, of all the characters to retain from S1 and S2, that was was the worst. Hopefully her handler will ground her. Her acting is horrible, her motivations are nonsense.
My one question is, are accents hereditary in the future or did Picard Jr grow up in Space London?
Fun fact - Patrick Stewart's famous accent/voice is fake. He grew up with a rural Yorkshire farmers accent. Basically what would be considered a "hick" accent. He created his current accent when he moved to London and started to do theatre to be taken seriously.
I've wondered if in his old age, his real accent would start creeping back into his voice. There's almost no audio/video of him speaking in it when I searched a few years ago.

Anyone else think it is weird that Beverly would name her son with Picard. after her late husband? Was always under the impression that one of the major reasons they were reluctant to hook up was that Picard was her dead husband's best friend.

More I see this neo constitution, the more I dislike it. Hate the 4 impulse drive neck. Looks clunky. Yes, my love of trek begins with ship design.
The original Constitution class was a heavy cruiser, designed for dishing out a pounding and taking at least an equal amount. The fact that a Neo Constitution cowers in fear at the sight of some bounty hunter ship (illegal stolen weapons or not) makes it not worthy of the moniker in my eyes.
Too bad Riker didn’t just have 500 copies of “Starfleet’s fastest, toughest ship” at his disposal this time around.
If this was the first season I'd probably still be interested. But it isn't, and so what is bothering me about this show is enough for me to check out until I can binge the whole thing. The cliff-hanger endings are so badly executed they might as well have a commercial voice over along the lines of:
"Will Admiral Picard bumble through iconic lines? Will Captain Riker make old people jokes? Will 7 of 9 continue her best T-Pol impression? Find out next week when you come crawling back for the dirtiest mixed cut of Star Crack, er, Trek yet!"

Also i know that bubble shields haven’t been in style for a long time but once in a while I get old fashioned and start missing them. I’m praying for this season they have some clearly shot, strategic one v one space battles instead of the absolute clusterfk of objects and particles they’ve done in recent years of Discovery and Picard.

Spoiler!
Using shields as a plot device to remove the option of using the transporter was sweet back in the day. I think I noticed in DS9 a couple episodes where someone seemed to beam through shields, but it could of been from a bad edit or something that wasn't the writer's fault.
"We need to get beamed out NOW, or we're going to be killed! Why isn't this working?"
Maybe its the transporter inhibiters you literally just set up? Which I'm guessing are Starfleet issue, and like all good Starfleet gear you should be able to interface and access any other piece of gear with it to ultimately save the day.
"The holodeck safeties are off and the Telerite delegation are at a 21st century all you can eat bean buffet! Quick, set the hypospray for 2.21 gigawatts, bypass the flux coils, and get a readout on their vital signs. We can replicate actual toilet paper with LCARS displays so they can jettison the warp core when they wipe! One time I got turned into a child, and when the Ferengi tried to steal the Enterprise I rerouted command functions through an Apple 2 in the grade three classroom!"
Also, wtf, Crusher? Naming your kid after their dead Dad is kind of sweet, but when it's fathered by the guy who was in command when he died its a whole new level of twisted. Especially when she didn't tell and let it go for 20 years. On some level if they had been together and then even divorced after I could see how that name might be actually really sweet. But as it is, the good doctor seems to be one sexually messed up lady. I mean, she banged a lamp ghost that used to shack up with her grandma, ffs.
Where does Jack Crusher's accent come from? Was he raised in the holodeck by the Peaky Blinders?

Maybe more of a random thought, but I have to think that after centuries of people milling around on a basically borderless on Earth, that accents would eventually disappear or become very unified.
