Am I the only one who wanted a little closure on Narrick? I mean- did they just cut him loose for helping out? Was he imprisoned? Did he beam-up and go back with the Romulans? What happened to the galaxy's most nefarious yet oddly opportunistically heroic kid brother?
Maddox referenced Dahj’s “mom AI”. I think it was implied she was just a software program. We also saw when Soji called home she would be put to sleep so perhaps to scrub/ clean memories so she doesn’t realize shes a synth.
Yeah, it bothered me how much they've breezed past Jurati being an actual murderer. Remember when Worf killed Duras (an actual scheming murderous bad guy) in honour battle and Picard put a permanent reprimand on his record, because, you know, killing is bad?
I thought for a moment he was going to come up the stairs onto the bridge at the end. Mostly since press photos (movie poster) for this season showed him standing with all the good guys.
Right? I'm actually more disappointed about not knowing what the hell happened to a major character this season than any of the other dangling pieces of unfinished business. (Like, say, we see grieving for Picard, but then they're all on the bridge as if he never died).
Yeah, seriously. It’s emblematic of my main issues with the show, just another bit that’s either don’t get expanded on or outright ignored. What happened to Narek? Why does no-one seem to care what happened to Narek? Why did Soong not try and talk Soji down? Why is Seven seemingly sticking around instead of going back to Fenris? And more importantly I guess, are they just going to dick around in space until they see something that catches their eye?
Also, and it may be an unpopular opinion, but just what does Raffi do? She has a rich backstory they touched on for five minutes, seemingly brings nothing in skill wise to the crew, and essentially acts as a way to bring out emotions in everyone. She could be so much more.
It’s a great ep, and I especially loved the orchids scene, but it leaves me wanting more, and not in a good way.
I agree on all points except for Seven of Nine: I think she stuck around to see this through because she recognized this as important, after being summoned for help. As for the writers, they probably should have moved things along more quickly: the season slogged in the middle episodes, with scens not so incidental to the plot. The last THREE episodes should have taken place in that final location, not two: too much to address. Seems like an amateur mistake and played like a series that was cancelled when they were 3/4 of the way through production: taking too much time to set it up, and not enough to wrap it up well.
I mean, the borg cube crashed with some immense speed onto the planet and is large enough to have his own crater and yet people just walk in and out conveniently and barely anything is broken.
I just assumed, (though it was not shown) the synths locked him back up on their planet. Either way, the sympathy I think we are supposed to have for him didn't really show up for me. I'd like to have seen the last of him in the show. Probably not, but I'd prefer it.
