You must not be watching STD, then.
Picard should track down Dhaj’s “parents” (The namer of the flower should be findable) – that has to be a clue.

I didn’t understand that the Synths on Mars were primitive compared to Data.
That’s more believable and true to canon.
What the ever-loving fuck was Lt Romulan Infiltrator’s accent?
She was going for a vaguely RP English accent to my ears. It wasn’t noticeably bad or anything.
Nothing actually happened in this episode. Just a bunch of melodrama. What was the deal with the ominous music after it was revealed that the message came from off world?
So, Picard, in order to crew his corsair, instead of recruiting loyal men who presumably have lives and careers, picks Raffi who “hates him and has nothing to lose” as his first mate. But, why does she hate him and have nothing to lose? Did his resignation somehow torpedo her career in Starfleet? She may have been cashiered for substance abuse and therefore have nothing left to lose, but if that were it, why would she blame Picard?
As for the Federation’s lack of good AI android technology, despite encountering and even developing it multiple times, apparently the current writers’ explanation is that it was due to Romulan infiltrators all along…
I caught that, too: in Trek, that is like saying “We’ve traced the call–and it isn’t coming from your house!”
It means he’s going to need a ship and a crew - and his first thought means he has to return to Star Fleet.
I was kinda hoping Vash would show up.
I think evil admirals and Starfleet conspiracies are quickly displacing time travel at the top of my “For fuck’s sake, Star Trek, please stop doing this” list.
OK but in the episode it was all Romulan spies and moles, there wasn’t any home-grown Starfleet conspiracy revealed (yet). We don’t know how evil the Romulans are, either; maybe in their eyes they are doing whatever it takes to protect the galaxy from killer androids or Necrons or whatever.
Starfleet Admirals have always been either incompetent or evil.
For fuck’s sake, Star Trek, please stop doing this.
Surely there must have been some admirable admirals.
Uhhh… yes… nope. Became evil.
I got nothing.
And o thought Commodores were so bad that the rank had been abolished
I watched the premier free on youtube and I liked it well enough I’d watch more, but not enough to pay for CBS all access.
I am astonished at how good Picard looks for his age (and Stewart, too of course!)
So, did anybody notice the ‘this facility without assimilation incident for 5486 days’ (or something like that) sign?
And I do hope we’ll get some explanation as to why the Romulans are so rabidly anti-synthetic (they never seemed that concerned with Data).
Kirk was an admiral for a while, but they demoted him. Presumably for insufficient evil.
Just wait a couple months, get it for a month, watch the 10 episodes then cancel. I think a lot of people are wary of doing this due to past experiences of the nightmare of trying to cancel things, but canceling streaming tv subscriptions these days really is just clicking cancel and you’re done.
It was mentioned early in the thread when that shot showed up in the trailer.
