Once again, the plot of the episode is split across three storylines. The first revolves around Picard and our mystery watcher, the second re-introduces Brent Spiner and Isa Briones, and the third finally gets the Agnes/Borg Queen story where it was always heading. Let’s focus on the latter two as the Picard plot involves some classic Treklore. In ...
While Agnes Jurati slumbers in Chateau Picard, the Borg Queen gets up to some evildoing. She connects to the local cell phone tower so she can reach out and touch someone: the police. She feigns panic, telling the operator she heard screams coming from Chateau Picard. And when a police officer turns up to investigate, the Borg Queen scoops him up w...
At the end of Star Trek: The Original Series‘ second season, the Enterprise travels back in time to the 1960s in an episode called “Assignment: Earth“. There, they encounter a “Supervisor” named Gary Seven, a human man led by an advanced, alien species. Gary’s job on Earth is to avert a nuclear incident which would plunge Earth into darkness and po...
As Picard and Tallinn arrive on La Sirena, Raffi, Rios, and Seven help Agnes get the body of a police officer off the ship. No biggie. But also Jurati says she killed the Borg Queen so now they can’t get home. Oops! Tallinn explains to the crew that Renee is headed to a gala before entering quarantine for the mission. If Q is going to do something ...
Last week I told you that one of the best things about “Watcher” is how short it is. “Fly Me to the Moon” also greatly benefits from a shorter run-time: less than forty minutes minus the recap and credits. Everything moves fast, but not so fast that you lose track of the moving pieces or miss out on character beats. Star Trek: Discoverywriters, ple...
It took five episodes for Brent Spiner and Isa Briones to really become part of the plot. Sure, Briones appeared in “Star Gazer” and we saw Spiner’s image in “Penance,” but I was beginning to wonder when, how, and if they would fit into this season. Once again, long-time Trekfans get a reward in the form of another Soong ancestor. On Star Trek: Ent...
One of the biggest, lingering questions of the season is, “Why is Q altering the timeline?” In “Fly Me to the Moon” he says something to Adam Soong that feels relevant to this question. “We’re all hostages to what we love,” he says. “The only way to truly be free is to love nothing. And how meaningless would that be?” Is Q doing all of this out of ...
The name Renee Picard is full of meaning for fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The first Renee Picard we ever meet is Jean-Luc’s nephew. Just like Jean-Luc, Renee looks up to the stars and dreams of life among them. Renee and his father Robert help heal Jean-Luc in the episode “Family” right after he is assimilated by the Borg. It is Renee wh...
Would that I could say that “Fly Me to the Moon” is a 10/10 perfect episode. Alas, there are two issues I had with this episode, and the biggest involves Agnes Jurati and the Borg Queen. I’ve been trying to articulate what’s been bothering me about this plot thread for the last few recaps, and I think I’ve finally put my finger on it. Last season, ...
Listen. I love a side mission, but the security for the Europa gala defies all reason. Why does this event require an invite that has a radio frequency that connects to a database? Why does the interior of the party have cameras with facial recognition to correspond with said database? And why can’t Tallinn’s alien technology or Team Picard’s futur...
