Our goodness, can Agnes Jurati sing! Her showstopper number crescendos in a terrifying union with the Borg Queen, the two actors playing off each other perfectly. Other subplots leave us a bit uncertain: is Picard grandfatherly or manipulative? Is Adam Soong ostracized or influential? Is Tallinn a Romulan or not? All this, plus our excitement for Picard season 3 as well as Strange New Worlds!

Reddit threads mentioned in this episode:

• Members of Soong Dynasty qualitatively ranked in descending order of amorality/evil
• Gabriel Bell not having a Supervisor watching out for him suggests the Prophets are connected to the Watchers/Supervisors
• Ensign Mariner telling off Q is responsible for the entire second season plotline of Picard
