A few random thoughts...
As of right now, Jean-Luc getting hugs on a Borg cube ranks as one of my favorite moments in the franchise.
I'm still not very interested in the Section 31 series starring Michelle Yeoh, but I'd watch the hell of it if it starred Allison Pill as Agnes Jurati, thrill-seeking emotional wreck and half-assed assassin/spy who just can't go back to her old life as a nice STEM girl with questionable taste in boyfriends -- have I forgiven Bruce Maddox for trying to dissect Data? No. Not even in death.
The fade-to-black with "Please friends, choose to live" was fantastic.
The trajector from that Voyager episode? Nice.
Soji and Narek's relationship -- between a possibly sentimental ruthless manipulator and a possible hyper-destructive outwardly harmless person who doesn't know who they are -- could be made into, like, a dozen different indie films, only about a quarter of which end in murders.
Forget Icheb losing an eye. Everyone on La Sirena clapping after Rafii burns the last bridge to her nearly last friend is the most violent scene in Picard, so far.
So the show's a meditation on aging, guilt, identity, and refugee crises? I'll allow it... and by 'allow' I mean 'pay $10/month for the fancy, commercial-free version' (which is in Dolby Vision through Apple?).
