Just finished the latest Picard. I've said this season really feels like "TNG All Grown Up." But honestly? This is the first episode that just felt straight up "TNG." All the cogs were finally in place, the machine turned on and we got TNG all over again.

Last year, I had a few minutes with Michael Okuda and Dave Blass at the TMP show, and they kept reiterating that Season 3 was going to be something special. They weren't exaggerating - this is the best Trek I've seen since the end of DS9.
