    I hated this character right up until this very scene and then I was blown away by this performance. The writing and directing just added to how good it is. I think it’s got to be up there with some of the best stuff we’ve seen in Star Trek.

    I would have understood if the encounter with Picard had triggered PTSD or something. But that looks more like open resentment. Even though it was the Borg and not Picard himself. A distinction a Starfleet Captain should be able to make.

    “I’m sorry I tried to kill you, I was possessed by an evil alien entity at the time” is such a common apology in Star Trek there’s probably a section at Hallmark. No one is blaming Keiko O’Brien for trying to murder the Prophets while possessed by a Pah Wraith, we didn’t spend weeks on the Voyager tiptoeing around Kes because she might try to conquer the galaxy again like when she was being mind controlled by a dead dictator, and none of the people possessed by an ancient mask with the power to reshape their surroundings into an ancient temple got thrown in the brig for nearly killing everyone. Why does Picard get so much shit for the time the Borg used him as a hand puppet?

    Could somebody please, **please** buy the production a f-ing light-bulb? Is that part of the legally-mandated-percent-difference in a contract somewhere? Are they trying to hide terrible sets?

    Shaw is the most understandable asshole I’ve seen on television in awhile. He’s been right every step of the way while Picard and Riker kept fucking up. The first two seasons of Picard are unwatacle trash, but this one has been surprisingly good.

    The actor playing shaw is really good.

    They can definitely do a series with shaw and seven continuing the journey on the titan

    I know this is nu-trek and I have to adjust my expectations of what a show with Star Trek in the title is BUT…everyone, without exception, is a *violent, emotional idiot*.

    I felt the entire character is so hacky and forced.

    Taking capt sisko’s backstory and giving it to another character was pretty lame. At least change the details a little!

    And sisko had more depth. There was the overdone survivor guilt angle, but also his desire to protect his remaining family and *leaving starfleet*

    If you’re still *that* bitter 20+ years after the fact *and* still in the same organization that overwhelmingly praises the man that you solely blame for a significantly tragic moment in your life….how did this man reach captain? Oh right…you have to a violent emotional idiot to be a starfleet officer

    This is not even close to what Star Trek is for me. But, unlike previous seasons/shows, at least it’s watchable. Is that what people are excited about?
