Awww, I loved seeing everyone gathered around the table at the end of the episode. It only took eight episodes to get there.

And his delivery of that line: A+. I've always thought that Michael Dorn doesn't get enough credit for how funny he actually is.

I count him as one of the funniest actors on Trek. He could deadpan a line better than pretty much everyone.

Omg I’m sick of the Jack plot! If he was a woman everyone would be calling him a Mary Sue it’s ridiculous. Like he’s a charming rogue who’s the son of two Starfleet icons, knows badass fighting moves River Tam style, has telepathy abilities and is the key to destroying the Federation as we know it? It’s giving corny fanfic.

I like everything else about the season tho. Loved the resolution of the Data/Lore conflict. I thought the conversations between Riker and Troi were really sweet.

I liked the convo between Shaw and Seven where she explained that she refused to blow the turbo lift with him in it. I think their dynamic is really interesting and I hope it gets expanded on further in a spin-off. I was surprised he was still calling her Hansen tho! I thought we got past that after ep 4 but I guess he’s doing it this episode because he’s mad she didn’t sacrifice him? Idk it was jarring. I also gasped when T’veen died. RIP to a bad bitch.

Yes, I would rather get more focus on Bev being a bad-ass frontier doctor than all of this focus on her son. Also, if he was raised by her, where did his British accent come from???

They explained a few eps ago that he and Bev lived in London for a while but still. I really dislike Jack so it's a shame he's such a focus on an otherwise pretty cool season. I feel like they could have done this whole terrorist changelings plot without the Jack connection but whatever.

I'm so over Jack. He's barely a character (really just a collection of sci-fi and fantasy tropes) and we have all these people ready to die for him.

Can we just move on already?

Worf and Deanna’s reunion was so funny to me, especially with Riker there going ‘right in front of my salad?’

I also just want them to wrap the Jack plot up, it’s dragging. Give more screen time to Beverley. Or Seven. Or anyone else.
