Review of Maps and Legends

Im reviewing this episode half way through so i can still give it 5 stars because I need, yes.. need this show to be good. the first episode was a great setup but what is Happening here. who wrote this incredibly bad dialog. how can you possibly make Patrick Steward act so bad.. ok. watching the second half now.. Ok, so the second half improved the plot development and this show has great potential, I know that like myself, many of you feel the same way about this. because of the background and our love for the star trek universe and Jean Luc himself, the pressure is on and the writers must understand that we expect a lot. But you CAN NOT, start a show called Star trek, Picard and expect us to accept weak written dialog like there was in this episode.
