why does the BQ consider the word bullshit a "colloquialism", she has assimilated and shares the sensibility of millions who say it all the time

I did however appreciate that while I was thinking "Hold on didn't he see his mother in that first season TNG episode?" he then specifically mentions the memories he constructed of her which applied to that very episode.

First season, I bailed after 4 episodes. This season, I bailed after 2 episodes. Judging by comments, I made the right decision again.

xp fair, but keep that away from my show
also, they divorced it completely from the plot so lol
― mh, Friday, 6 May 2022 03:01 (two years ago) link
I will finish it but yeah that episode inside Picard's head urrrrgh
Now I'll admit I've only seen stray TNG but not only does an emotionally repressed Men Would Rather Explore Space Than Go To Therapy Picard feel out of character, surely medical advances would have been sufficient by the time of Picard's childhood that his mum wouldn't have to be kept in some gothic basement because of her depression like it's the 19th century? The show's insistence on portraying Picard's childhood as being the early 20th century drives me up the wall.

I'm sorry, but I FEEL VINDICATED I have been banging on about Wesley showing up because he's a traveller in both this and Disco for AGES. I yelped when he showed up.
I found this episode very satisfying!

Or something
The most hilare bit was how cartoonishly bad Soong was being, with his "must I remind you I am exceedingly rich so shut up and do it" routine at the end there.

The entire concept of the borg and fighting them sometimes feels like such a boondoggle given the Q's could just zap them out of existence. I guess this also explains why Q never shows up in Disco - hes dead by then (who knows wether they knew that a few years back though?)
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 7 May 2022 09:09 (two years ago) link
Oh one fleeting thing I am not sure I heard properly - when Q says to JL "even gods have favourites and you happen to be mine", for a moment I swear it looked like Picard was starting to say "wait, youre a go..."
Did I imagine that?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 7 May 2022 09:11 (two years ago) link
was anything picard actually did say fleeting? my answer here is no
― mark s, Saturday, 7 May 2022 10:29 (two years ago) link
Everyone on this thread OTM. Finale kind of rallied despite the mid-season slide into silly mediocrity. The desire to not die alone was actually kind of nice and would've been better had that scene not dragged on so long.
For a moment I wondered if the spatial anomaly was Q's corpse finally dissolving after centuries and releasing massive amounts of energy, and that THAT was his surprise gift, not Elnor.
Also also since Picard is housed inside a Soong-bot, I'm assuming he's fully functional.
I guess this also explains why Q never shows up in Disco - hes dead by then (who knows wether they knew that a few years back though?)
There are still other Q, presumably!

I rewatched this scene, and JL only sez, "Q..." before Q cuts him off. Given that the Q/god thing was touched on in "Tapestry," I think it was more poetic license than anything else (though given that he and the Continuum are basically omnipotent, potato/tomato).

Xp it's kind of a heart stopper since the first two people I googled were Alice Krige and Susanna Thompson.
As for the trailer... I have a mental checklist of ~4 plot devices that I think Trek needs to embargo for a good long while and maybe it's a good sign that the trailer only seems to use one of them.
