Surrender

Picard comes back with another well written and acted episode. We move the narrative forward organically and witness great twists, although I saw most coming. That doesn't dull the pleasure since it's so well acted. Some mysteries are sorted and others are near revelations and that just ramps up the anticipation.

The overarching theme this season is solid and gives us the well earned feel of classic trek. But it's slightly askew and feels more personal. Every week we learn more about characters we have spent so much time with before. And each deepening of these characters feels earned and appropriate.

Last week's episode wasnt as great as the ones before that but this week it's spot on again. The story continues to move forward and we finally got to see Deanna troi in the flesh! So 8 episodes in and this is really an incredible season, the writers and also the actors did a phenomenal job. I'm not going to spoil anything but this is the episode that puts the entire The next generation crew together at the briefing table as seen on the trailers. Pace of the episode was great, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. And yes... It ended with a huge cliffhanger again. Next week we'll see another familiar face guest starring I can't wait to find out. Go watch and enjoy!!! This is real star trek!

This series hit a high from the start. And it keeps hitting every episode. Can´t wait for the next one. All of the cast of TNG superb. Seven perfect, Rest of the cast perfect. All the characters from past star trek series a perfect addition to the story. The mighty enemy from Deep space 9. The mystery about Jack. Why do they want him alive? New aliens, new worlds and the new Worf. His deadly calm and subtle humour. You know he still just loves killing and he kills alot. The dark atmosphere grabs you. Well done!

Very well written. We were blessed with Strange new worlds and now this. Star Trek is back!

This is the feeling we've been searching for and haven't had for a couple decades.

The writing is able to mesh with the friendships this crew formed early on so that we're able to truly feel the joy at the characters' reunion.

Maybe we're old and sentimental but there's much more than sentimentality going on in this episode. The story is compelling and of course there's no issue with the acting. And although I've had issue with the writing of modern Trek, the writing gave me what I wanted from this world, maybe even what I didn't know I needed given the occasional lesson harkening back to TOS.

If you enjoy it, you're in great company!

What we are witnessing is a great justice for what I consider to be the prime Trek cast. If this show wraps up with the same quality in story and production that is being shown here, I think a lot of fans will feel content. Now if they could've made this a three season arc, that would have been ideal. Nonetheless, this episode and all of the others of this season have been highly enjoyable. I'm assuming this will be one of the highest rated seasons in Trek history when looking at the episode ratings (already 3 ep. Over 9 rating, and 5 ep. Over 8 rating. Even though it's not episodic by nature, I hope the studios can sift through and see the elements of production, writing and story that make this Prime Trek.
