Keeps getting better.

Loved yesterday's episode. Everything's coming to a head with four episodes to go.

Agreed.  Now that the world has been created they are moving on with the story.  Last episode was great.  The last line was a great way to end the episode. "Please, my friends, choose to live"

Yep. :)

Woah....that was a moving episode. [spoiler]Good to see Riker and Troi back. One of the things I'm not enjoying this season, though, is realizing how much they, and by extension, me, are aging. Marina looks nothing like Troi season one. Frakes has put on the pounds. [/spoiler]

Only one thing I'm confused with is why the new cyber girl, hasn't quite accepted her fate as quickly as her sister, who once she was activated knew she had to find Picard. This one, doesnt' seem to know, or trust him.

Yeah, I thought she was going to get the same message and then have the distrust she is showing because she knows her memories are not real - her sister did not have the benefit of learning that before she died.

Yeah, that's how it seemed to me too.

I also appreciate that they are able to run this show with some of the old cast making cameos and because of story can be unapologetic about the changes in appearance due to age.

Have to say I'm a bit disappointed by the show. It is too much just Picard's grand fan service tour.

They definitely amped up the tension. Glad they finally made the villains a bit sympathetic.

One thing I'm finding odd is it's really based around the same plot idea as the last series of discovery. AI threat leading to the end of civilization. Wonder whether the two will meet- what with discovery being flung into the future at the end of the last series

Good point. I think there will be a plot-meet at some point.

Except it's not him. It's just his name. A cardboard Picard cutout surrounded by fan service.

In what way is it not the same character?

About the last episode [spoiler]looks like Data and Lore made it into the gene pool[/spoiler]

Do I want to spend over and hour listening to some jackasses? Probs not.
