There was an episode of the next gen that featured a witch hunt for romulan agents on the enterprise was there not? maybe this series will have some kind of connection to that plot line too.

Was always disappointed the episode "Schisms" in tng never got a follow up, it was left open for one but it never happened. Alien abduction and experiments etc.

Maybe some of the old plot lines will be explored

I do like how the writers are tieing in different themes and references to older series, it shows to me that they're trying to make a good story linked deep within the established history and lore, it shows they care; not just coming in with their own agendas trying to tell their own story which happens to be set in the ST universe.

This series does not fit well with weekly releases. The story seems better suited to binge watching as I imagine it’s a single story spanning the entire, or even multiple series.

I agree, I think the convoluted, cobbled together plot might make more sense if watched in binge fashion. Alternatively just ignore the plot and see if the show improves later on, it might get a little more exciting/interesting, best not taken too seriously as its hardly 'can't miss' TV.

Convoluted? :confused:

we're two in to a series that hasn't explained very much yet. Are people really finding it tough to follow?

I enjoyed the episode, it was nice to have a bit more character building tbh.
I do hate it though when they have to turn well respected individuals of the fandom, into the 'deluded guy', they did it with Luke in SW and now Picard - really not a fan of that at all.

All good to me, enjoyed it.

One bugbear, how the hell is there an Irish romulan.

Better than the first episode, more character building and less stupid action.

Perhaps she learned English from someone Irish?

Totally, all aliens should speak English with an American accent, right?

No, he's like that in his recent interviews too. I fear his age may finally be catching up with him.

Fair enough, I've not seen any promotional stuff for this with him or recent interviews.

As far as the series is concerned I'll give it another couple of episodes, but i also think as has been mentionned, that a binge watch might be better

When your excuse for why they're speaking English at all is technobabble, there is at least some logic in them all doing that.

My what?

When the main character is a Frenchman speaking RP English, you're worried about an Irish Romulan?

Universal translator, come on guys

"Official section 31 liaison officer?"

Hahahaha. Are the writers brain damaged? Or taking hints from archer telling everyone he's a spy? "Spy guy" number plate lol
