Just fantastic!! Super excited to see the rest!
Starting off with a poker game. Perfect.
Data was used expertly I thought. Not hitting your head over it but used in context beautifully.
Was this his brother's vineyard?
I think this opener did what it needed to do. Filled us in on the past and reintroduced us to Picard. The synthetic thing really surprised me. It also surprised me that Star Fleet got cold feet... I think they could have mentioned Spock's effort to stop the supernova. This did, of course, validate the "Kelvin" timeline. (as much as I hate calling it that) I like the look of the show.
The interview was a perfect way to fill us in. Dunkirk was perfect too. I only got the reference because of the recent movie.
Taj wasn't activated? .... hmmm... intriguing.
A tremendous job with the fight scenes I thought. The only part that caught my eye in a bad way was when she blew up and Picard was blasted what, 75+ feet? .... he's 80 you know ...
Was there an episode in TNG where Data actually painted that picture?
I got a little sentimental when Picard went into the storage room...
Nice insertion of Mattox I thought (someone that 99% of trekkies hate). It looks like he continued his work after synthetics were banned... made himself a couple of synthetics. Data is still unique and B4 couldn't handle the download during Nemesis. (THANK YOU!)
Flesh android? ... Why ban androids and not holograms?
Nice to see a couple of Romulans living with Picard.
I like the actress that plays Dr. Asher (Soji).
Then, of course, the big reveal at the end showing us a "Romulan Reclamation Center" (Borg cube).
The theme didn't grab me as the Discovery theme did. Not bad of course, (not Faith of the Heart for sure) but nothing special. I'm sure I'll grow to love it.
I can't wait to meet the rest of the regulars and get this show on the road.
I'm glad they release these earlier. I hated having to wait until 8:30 for a new episode of Discovery.
An easy 4-star opener for me.
Make it so!!
