They did, but it had the opposite effect.In that final scene did anyone else feel likethey over emphasised the word "him" a lot to try and make Seven of Nine's arrival more surprising

So going back to the Tal Shiar for a minute, ever since the Dominion decapitated them and the Obsidian Order, they were basically neutralized as the Founders intended. Not soon after, their top brass was infiltrated by Starfleet/Section 31 assets before the Dominion War even ended. It makes sense to me that whatever remnants of the Tal Shiar we are seeing are not the cream of the crop, and some sort of extremism pre-supernova caused them to splinter into madness. It would also explain why two older assassins basically quit to defend the man who sacrificed almost everything he had to save them: there was nothing in the Tal Shiar worth serving anymore.
Basically I see the current Tal Shiar as akin to the First Order, with the TNG/DS9 Tal Shiar as the Empire they are trying so hard to emulate.
Made me pine for Anakin waxing poetic about sand.
4 episodes in, is Picard better than the first 4 episodes of Discovery?
I think Discovery is stronger. I like both shows.Really interesting to see the polarising reaction to Discovery after the initial episodes, compared to this.

Will this madness ever end? 😂I see we've entered the show abbreviation part of the thread's discussion.

Anything wrong with Seven will be because of Chakotay.
Yeah I forgot he's going to Canto Bight with the rest of The Gang.He would have faked the shrapnel injury? Why?
Edit: plus he's getting off his ship in the trailer for episode 5.
I doubt she knows she's working for the Romulans. She'll betray Picard thinking it's for Starfleet, then she'll find out the Romulans have been manipulating Starfleet and she'll get a redemption arc.If Jurati is working for the Romulans literally everyone called it
Seven has basically any direction to go in she wants. She was still a little borgy come the end of Voyager and its been ages.The two shows have a lot of the same problems but Discovery at least doesn't have characters we already know behaving weirdly out of character. I still can't get onboard this version of Picard (and I'm sure Seven of Nine will be equally bizarre next week).
He was cool with his Uncle-nephew. lolI'm sorry, I just can't fucks with this Picard. It'd be interesting if it was part of some character arc, but it's not. He isn't going to change from kind, smiling, open Picard back into reserved, closed off Picard. This is just how we're supposed to accept this new Picard, a dude who enjoys the company of children and knows exactly how to make them smile. Who the hell is this Picard?

This is what happens when you get old.Seven has basically any direction to go in she wants. She was still a little borgy come the end of Voyager and its been ages.
I still got little issue with this Picard. He's old and tired and has no authority over anyone despite acting like he still does. People ignore him and dismiss him like they never did when he was last out in the black. He still gets riled and I guess that's going to build back up as the show goes on. Soft old Picard who's been waiting to die is going to find his dancing feet gradually and in turn garner some of that respect and aura back that he has lost in the intervening time.
I quite liked this episode. Not my favorite, but it kept me interested and wanting more.
What I absolutely do not like is that they completely spoil the guest characters by listing the actor and the character during the intro of the show. They did with Data in episode 1, and they did it again with this episode and 7 of 9. I mean there's a few moments left in the show and a mysterious talented pilot shows up and 7 of 9 has been no where to be seen thus far. Gee, I wonder who this could be? If they do manage to have Q appear in an episode and they note "John DeLancie as Q" during the intro, I am going to go insane.
So good. :)
My point exactly. I have no issue with this Picard.

Did Picard intentionally put himself in danger in the hope that the kid would rescue him? I assumed so, because he's not a fucking idiot, but then he reprimanded the kid for resorting to violence. What other option was there at that point?
Are you not in the US? The opening credits I see don't show any character names, even on the "special guest stars" at the end. Of course, I know who the actors from the previous shows are so it doesn't matter that the character isn't listed anyway.
I'm in the US. The intro listed Jeri Ryan as a special guest star. I thought it also mentioned "as 7 of 9," but I just rewatched the intro and it just lists her name. Still, its a big enough spoiler to wait until the ending credits to list. Took all the surprise away from her appearance.
Why does everyone on that planet use a sword? Like c'mon, what??
