    Beautiful episode!

    If this episode gets negative ratings I wouldn't understand why. This was a beautiful episode, seeing star trek veterans Riker and troi again, there performance was perfect. I love that the episode is longer and that there were 3 different parts, picard and soji on nepenthe with riker and troi. Hugh and elroy on the cube and raffi, Rios and jurati on the ship. The episode flew by, I even got the chills watching troi, riker and picard reunite. Every episode gets better and better.

    Feels like Star Trek The Next Generation episode !

    This is absolutely classic , a TNG feeling from beginning to the end , an absolute joy to watch , thank you Sir Patrick , Mr. Frakes and Ms. Sirtis for this !

    Another strong episode with some much needed friendly faces

    Picard visits old friends on Nepenthe with Soji.

    I enjoyed this episode as a fan of TNG for the reunion between some of the franchise most well known characters, plus the relief it provides from the darkness presented in the first six episodes.

    Healing from emotional and psychological pain is the theme of the episode and many of the characters embody it. The plot allows Picard and Soji an opportunity to remedy some of the issues they are experiencing through a connection with friends and it is done in warm and positive way. The other plot threads are not quite as compelling as this one, but keep the main narrative ticking over in a compelling way.

    All production values are strong with great visuals and effects as always. Whilst performances from all are all good. Patrick Stewart and Allison Pill standout for me.

    the gift

    For this so touching meeting , I am very grateful. It is the prize erasing many sins and mistakes and artificial / not inspired solutions. Because it is like a return to home for a viewer of Star Trek Next Generation. And because it is a beautiful hommage to a legendary serie and its audience. So, the best episode.

    • Quotes

      Will Riker: So I'm just going to speculate, and say out loud what's in my brain. You don't have to tell me anything. How's that sound?

      Will Riker: You're worried about the cloaks. That says Romulans. The level of anxiety and fear for our safety? It's got to be the Tal Shiar. You're not the one they're after, it's her. What has poor Soji done to incur their wrath? Could it have anything to do with the fact that she's clearly an android? And not just any android. I recognize that head tilt. She's got Data in her DNA. How am I doing?

      Jean-Luc Picard: Not bad, for a pizza chef.
