6 episodes deep into this season, and for once a modern Trek show can actually hold its quality, and arguably improve upon it. This is exactly the quality of writing and plot advancement I've been craving Post-Voyager. None of the TNG films pulled this off, they were too busy fighting a Romulan clone of Picard or something (I didn't hate Nemisis but uh, yeah). Then we got a prequel show that was alright, but didn't move the Trek universe forward too much but that was okay.
Finally, FINALLY we're actually wrapping up and advancing plots from the TNG, DS9, and Voyager era. Was this so much to ask? These writers are actually using previously well established plot points and are working with them, something that hasn't been done since 2001. DS9 was my favorite series and this season is taking the best aspects of that and combining them with TNG. Spectacular. TNG arguably has the most iconic cast, or second most for sure, so it's about time some competent folks take the best aspects the Trek universe has to offer and grow them further, which I've been wanting for 2 decades now.
This episode carried that strong momentum that episode 3 brought with it (I was fairly skeptical in the first 2 episodes), and I feel like it is only going to pick up as the season progresses. This gives me hope for what can come yet for Star Trek sequel series, and I will cherish season 3 of Picard as it is airing. This gives me hope that maybe there will be another show like TNG and DS9 with their writing caliber, or something of the combination of the two. If you haven't started watching Picard in general, skip the first 2 seasons and watch this season. Support the living crap out of this show, because this is what this franchise has desperately needed.
