This season continues as nearly unbelievably fantastic. The general feeling I've been getting this season is the feeling I (like most people) had watching the first season of Cobra Kai: "This is great, how did they pull it off?"
It continues the season arc story, while also being a great episode in its own right.
RO LAREN! I was floored when she walked into the ship. And it's not a cheap cameo, it's a solid part with some powerhouse scenes. Ro and Picard's scenes transform into a quite unexpected sequel to a late TNG episode "Preemptive Strike".
Sure, I have quibbles, particularly that I don't like to see characters brought back just to die. It usually seems cheap, but this really didn't feel that way since her appearance was completely unexpected.
Another quibble... why didn't Ro contact Picard in the last 30 years.
Still, those are very minor and worth it for the story.
I'm happy to see there weren't any F bombs and the like. That appeared out of place and discordant in the first episodes.
Bleh, my review sounds almost fake, but it's not.
