ok now that i’m done picard, here are my thoughts (spoilers ahead):

young guinan is everything. i want to be her bff. i want to pet her dog.

chris and that random doctor lady were sooooo lame lol oh so you met and fell in love in three (3) days and now you wanna give up all your friends and stay in the past with her? booooooo.

annie wersching was an absolutely kickass borg queen. i liked her in marvel’s runaways (VERY underrated show and better than most of the disney+ marvel shows oops) but i love her even more here. i was captivated every moment she was onscreen

speaking of borg queens, i felt so bad for agnes wtf??? she was SO LONELY. maybe if her friends just reached out to her more she wouldn’t be tempted to link up with the actual literal borg queen what the hell. shame on her friends honestly. my poor girl :(

controversial opinion incoming in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... i don’t like seven and raffi 😬 i like the IDEA of seven and raffi. i love seven of nine being gay. however, i think she was really rude to raffi for like... the majority of the season. maybe all of the season?? like everything she said to raffi was way harsh. when she called her manipulative?? that was too far for me. raffi is a lot of things, she’s a recovering addict and a lonely woman (lotta those in PIC it seems) but she is not manipulative. i wanted to ship them but i honestly think raffi deserves someone who respects her more.

THAT TRAUMA PLOTLINE.... WHEW. hit me like a ton of bricks. i cried at picard’s mom’s suicide. as a mentally ill woman, i relate so hard to mentally ill women in media. to see renée and yvette struggle like that... to see renée succeed but yvette ultimately succumb to her mental illness... i think it was the most competently handled plot in the entire show, and i do not say that lightly. the idea that grief and trauma has us stuck in our past isn’t new to star trek (hello ds9 s1ep1), but i think they demonstrated it brilliantly in PIC. the fact that we get flashbacks to picard’s trauma throughout the whole season but don’t really get the full picture until the end was well done because not only it built up suspense and anticipation, but it also showed how he was repressing those memories. until he didn’t. until he let it all out and forgave himself and let himself accept love. that was brilliant. i cried. thank you for that season-long therapy session q

SPEAKING OF Q..... 😭😭😭 q my beloved!!!! he DIED? i mean they kinda left it open, like maybe sending them to the future wouldn’t kill him because he didn’t have to send rios too (thanks dumbass romace plot) but still omg my baby, my qq.... 😢 the idea of a universe without q makes me very sad

but let’s not end this on a sad note. PIC s2 was good, so much better than s1 but the bar was literally on the floor LOL. i don’t think picard will ever be one of my favourite star trek shows, but the way it handled trauma makes me hold it in very high esteem, and i am cautiously optimistic about what they will roll out for season 3
