What could be moreStar Trekthan that?
Oh right: Patrick Stewart delivering a righteous monologue about the importance of living a life defined by responsibility.
Not that this episode skimps on the fighting and scheming.
But hes no mere zealot.
Turns out, Agnes has an agenda thatdoesntinvolve ushering in an AI apocalypse.
(Or Ganmadan, if you prefer the Romulan terminology.)
And how will Picard thwart Soji?
Not everything in this episode follows airtight logic, particularly in this climactic stretch.
(And, of course, both Stewart and Frakes deliver the goods and then some.)
RIP Admiral Jean-Luc Picard.
Except, of course, its not.
Picards consciousness awakens in a quantum simulator where hes joined by his friend Commander Data.
And, unlike the Data of Picards dreams, its really him.
Still, its not yet Picards time to go.
Hell live on via Soongs golem, an artificial body that somehow plays host to his mind.
At the end of this story he finds not the death he expected, but another chance at life.
In fact, everybody gets a happy ending, more or less.
Thats a question for another season.
Code 47s
Lets talk about Agnes.
It now seems as if everyones just willing to give her a pass for straight-up murdering Maddox.
It helps that Alison Pill plays her so winningly, but it still feels off.
Even after a full season it still seems weird to see these characters mourning Picard rather than theNext Generationcrew.
Ganmadan sounds like no fun at all.
Rikers ship is named for Zheng He, a Chinese explorer who lived during the Ming Dynasty.
Sevens regret at killing her rings true.
Of course this season couldnt end without allowing Stewart to do a bit of Shakespeare.
