Gene would be proud. Picard Season 3 is something I NEVER expected to be made. I've often day dreamed about a continuation of TNG, but never had serious expectations. Then, suddenly, here we are. Where did this come from? Simply outstanding writing and proves that Hollywood can make good art when they choose to.

[amcaesar]

Yeah, they got me with Spot right in the gut, took me by surprise as well.

James, the Popcast guys with the help of many others, have a theatrical release planned. They are plugging an event for later in April, in Las Vegas, where all 10 episodes will be played back-to-back at a luxury theater. They have stated that there will be cast and crew members in attendance. That event is probably what RMB was referring to.

Worf crushing on Deanna with Riker standing right there was great!

[mwmw]

Everything you said about Kurtzman und Matalas I 100% agree!

[wavion]

The whole episode I kept thinking that Troi was going to be revealed as a changeling.

[SimonLeicester]

A malevolent entity on board the ship? - Could it be Armus from The Skin of Evil episode. Troi would certainly recognise the creature as she was down on planet in the crashed shuttlecraft.

When I saw the title of the episode, I thought there might be a scene where Jack walks in on Jean Luc and Beverly rolling on the couch.

More of this S3 style Trek!
I had written it all off until I watched your reviews on S3!🤗

[MinPhase]

Yeah, I was really sad to see the Vulcan officer go. If they ever do a Titan series, she would have been a good cast member I feel as she played a Vulcan character very nicely. Also, the Raffi sword scene was just stupid. How can you fight changelings with swords? It's like cutting water with a sharp knife. In fact, thinking more about it, this has happened many times in the series, where the Changelings were defeated by hand-combat. Maybe an explanation is that it takes them more time, energy and focus to change shape because they are genetically modified?

[LB-gzke]

Can Troi actually detect when the changelings are impersonating someone? I got the idea that she recognized that it wasn't Will right away, but that is her husband. She has a special connection with him. Would she necessarily be able to do the same with strangers?

[SimonLeicester]

Another cracking episode. Loving this season.

The 10 Forward Fest was supposed to happen on April 25th & It was a planned all 10 episodes event from 12 noon to 11pm. However it was CANCELED! Paramount/CBS shut them down! I know because I had tickets & got a refund for the event. Not the event planners fault. Plus it was a charity event. Great review by the way!

I heard Denise Crosby didn’t think the show would go anywhere and she asked to be killed off only to realize what a mistake she made later. You know what they say about hindsight lol

[LordLOC]

The ONLY thing that bugged me about Spot, was Data kept saying Spot was a male cat, when Spot literally gave birth to kittens on TNG lol I know they retconned Spot already in TNG (the cat was originally a male tabby, then made into a female) but it just bugged me for some reason. Overall, it's pretty obvious at this point Jack has Borg nano-tech in him etc and the bad guys want to use that to control the fleet and either make them destroy themselves (ala Prodigy) or attack other ships in the quadrant or attack other planets.

[kac]

Beverly has to be thinking, “What the hell is going on inside my vagina?! Both of my children keep getting superpowers!”

[Thedeepseanomad]

Is the new Data "fully functional"?

[kewlztertc]

"he's got Troy to help him...", Lol you must not have seen the next week's preview. Troy took one look inside that boys mind, and ran. Lol

[PatrickKadian]

Mark my words -- that's not Beverly

[lisasellsproperty]

Rewatched the season and Raffi is better around the second time.... almost feel like too much next gen is relying on history too much...always a voyager fan and last episode had seven of nine and tuvoc.... Needed more of that and deep space and next gen together 👍
