So.

Well.

This season makes the most sense if one assumes no one who worked on Picard S2 talked to anyone who worked on Picard S3.

Which leads to the fantastic idea that what if - what if - all three seasons of Picard can be read as three alternative universes?

This solves more continuity problems than it creates. Which says something about the showrunning quality.

So Picard S3 doesn't exist in my universe, except for the tiny bits I like. )

A disappointing discovery in the new year: Star Trek: First Contact was much cooler when I was 13. Maybe it's because the Borg are as close to horror as I like to get, but the film doesn't really work for me. Picard and his Borg PTSD? Manful Moby Dick angst remains bizarrely compelling. Zephram Cochrane plot? Still smack in the "meh" zone. Data and the Borg queen? OMG hives. Why, Trek screenwriters, why did you mess with success? The entire creeptifying Borg thing is the way they erase identity. So however deliciously evil Alice Krige is, it doesn't really work.
