You're welcome.

Looking forward to seeing more of Soji.

Another ok eppy, with bits I thought were great.

- First off loved the scenes with Hugh on the Borg ship. Wonder though whether Hugh kept in touch with Geordi ?
- Also loved the part in the holodeck where Picard saw Locutus on the screen and the camera intertwined with Locutus and Picard. Such a great shot.
- Rios and Agnes getting together was a bit of an considering the only know each other for 5 mins.
- So Soji is now activated sort of. Her scenes were ok, but not really grabbing me. Narek is annoying me a bit.
- Same goes for Raffi scenes as well. Just stop it with this JL stuff . They should get rid of Raffi along with Agnes.
- I must admit the whole crew/cast is not gelling for me at all, apart from Elnor. He’s the only one I like out of the crew and has good scenes with Picard. Those two you know are good friends and you can see it.
- Poor Picard though, being back on a Borg ship. All the memories come flooding back. Loved the scenes where he talks about it and being scared of going back. Thought the eppy dealt with that well.
- I did like the scenes with Picard and Sojo, much better than Sojo/Narek.

Finally Will is back next eppy , bringing back some of the magic

I quite liked this episode. Nice that they are exploring the psychological scars of Picard's time as a borg.

The kissing scene seemed a bit sudden. I'm torn because I liked Agnes, but now I know she's a murderer.

I thought the ending was quite exciting. I'm hoping it's getting into its stride now.

The scenes of Picard remembering his time as a Borg were really well done and showed the psychological damage he still suffers.

Like Tracey and Claire, I don't buy the Agnes and Rios hook up.

I might have been able to like Raffi, but the JL stuff continues to grate on my nerves

Now that Soji is activated, and knows who she is, I wonder what will come next for her.

Overall, I feel that we should have got to this point by the 3rd episode instead of the 6th. Have to say this is the first week I'm looking forward to what comes next

It was great to see Hugh again.

I agree, this episode should have arrived sooner. The early episodes had very little plot.

Agree that it was nice to see Hugh. I am enjoying the little nods we're getting to continuity with the use of established characters.

I'm wondering how relevant some of the side/back story is going to be. For example, the bit about Raffi being estranged from her family

I really thought Narek was falling for Soji and was going to help her escape. Apparently not.

Narek did seem genuinely upset though.
