Star Trek Picard Season Three

I have to admit, I don’t get this one…did I miss a character in the finale having a questionable relationship with a robot?

No, but you did watch a legacy character flying a beloved spaceship through a twisty turny series of pipes before blowing up the big thing which caused the alien spaceship to blow up, with the legacy spaceship escaping in the nick of time.

I have to admit, I simultaneously guffawed and rolled my eyes at that when I saw it.
 
Well, seeing the TNG crew together on the bridge of the ED working one last assignment together made getting through the first two season worth it.

My ONLY little niggle is that they introduced the Borg too late and wrapped that arc in the last few minutes.

I would have liked the Borg to be revealed in episode 6 and build on it a bit more.

Was this the OG Queen? Alice Cringe was playing her again.

Why was she so mutated and literally rotting away with an exposed rib cage?

Why did she have a body to rot away when she’s only ever been a head, shoulders and a metallic spinal column since her introduction?

I would have liked to know why we ended season 2 with a benevolent Borg race that now collaborates with Starfleet guarding a rogue wormhole, but now they’re the big bad again?

But that’s just me thinking as a writer and seeing several dots left unconnected.

Even with those niggles it still gets a 9.9 out of 10 with me.

Ya, the whole episode felt very rushed. A little more breathing room would have been good for some of these threads to tie up.

The virus at the end of Voyager presumably.

I have to agree with all of this, except I generally like Alice Krige. She was great in Ghost Story and Deadwood. And yeah, Ep. 10 definitely cribbed from ROTJ. But I still give the season high marks.

She, as usual, gave a stellar performance. It’s just weird that Picard killed her, Janeway killed her, Agnes rebooted her and yet here she is once again. I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that she was literally rotting away.

There also were very few drones. I’m guessing that they were dying and Jack was their last hope.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they said so at one point (haven't rewatched it yet). The drones were rotting away because the Queen was consuming them to stay alive.

The old adage, show don't tell. It's quite interesting that Terry Matalas has to keep going on social media to fill gaps in the story, shouldn't everything have been on the screen.

It’s a common problem these days. See also: Disney STAR WARS, which uses the Explanatory Universe of comics and novels to explain the considerable plot holes of the counterfeit Sequel Trilogy, and to rewrite the Lucas-era films and lore.

I think it's more because of the fact that Elnor doesn't even feature in and thus not important at all this season, so his answer is just to appease a random question from an Elnor fangirl or fanboy about his fate.
 
I believe it was Michael Piller, who in the TNG DVD documentaries, recounted a time when the staff pitched a story involving Q and a galaxy-wide goose-chase. Roddenberry then asked, "Yes, but what's it about?".

From my vantage point, NuTREK has just been goose-chases interwoven with political cudgel. Writing from the outside, rather than the inside.


So, I genuinely ask a simple question, because I'm curious as to what variety of answers people will give: What is this show about?
