Sorry but you're wrong, SGU is now 10+ years old so according to internal Picard thread logic, we should all be realising how good it actually was.

Note, I haven't seen the most recent episode so apologies if you're referring to something that's happened in that episode.
Anyway, I don't see the issue. He's of a religious order that focuses on melee. He's probably useless in a ranged fight unless he has some particularly preternatural dodging skills to get into weapon range. But then equally he's probably deadly in a brawl. Basically he's a single tool rather than a multi-tool. Don't see the big issue!
You may not have liked it (I did) but was it well made?
You might not like the colour and cut of a suit, but you can still tell whether it's been made properly and with skill, or whether it's been thrown together frayed and badly stitched by someone with the skill of a drunk chimpanzee.
anyone else think that Dr. Agnes jurati deep uncover Romulus agent, think about it. we seen how willing romulus agent are will to use sex to get close to their targets (narek) so why not send one to get close to maddox, she be able to see what starfleet were doing with their research, and she in the perfect position to add the code that made them go rogue (we know from e1 that all the syms that went rogue came from her department)
I think she's human, not Romulan, but she is working for the Romulans. As she was killing Maddox at the end of the last episode, she implied that the Romulans had shown her evidence, convinced her of something big, and that she had no choice but to kill him. A Romulan deep cover agent wouldn't get all teary about assassinating Maddox.
Doubtful. She seemed pretty devastated about killing Maddox, and she was alone with him at the time so she wouldn't have needed to pretend.
Rather more likely that Commodore Oh showed/told her something that convinced her to act against Picard and finish Maddox off.

Star Trek: Parody.
Works about as well, same amount of letters, starts with a P, at this point in time I fully believe it's a satirical tragedy.
I think it can redeem itself if it goes REALLY deep on the tragedy though, like Picard being the bad guy.

How come the EMH which we've seen randomly turn itself on in quite a few episodes hasn't activated and told everyone that Agnes is a murderer?
I find it very sad that these people are forced, by persons unknown, to sit through programs they don't like, week in week out, yet when they're given freedom to write about anything they talk about the show rather than asked for freedom.
Presumably Jurati - a cyberneticist and "the Earth's leading expert on synthetic life" after all - reprogrammed him or wiped some memories. The Voyager crew did a similar trick to their EMH at least once when an event was causing him to have trouble functioning.

Compare the Picard of the film First Contact and how he deals with Borg in this. He goes from Rambo to a whimpering little girl until Hugh shows up to hold his hand.
I was so close to switching off many times this week but it did improve slightly towards the end.

Yeah, it's almost like PTSD is a weird old thing and you can't predict how you'll react to being back somewhere that you have truly awful memories of...
Only tweenage girls can use this term now? I'm actually being accused of cultural appropriation.
I'll probably get told off for using an emoticon now too...
Struggling with this series now though in all honesty. Seems a bit of a grind to get through the episode without thinking about something else I could be watching.
He's a lot older in this, not as if hes gonna bust out a few roundhouse kicks.

Also I don't think that scene presents his psyche in the best light. He goes mental when he kills that Borg and it's one of his own crew members.

I think mentally, Picard potentially feels safer in First Contact than he did in the latest episode. In FC, he had at least some of his armed crew and bridge crew (from possibly the most heavily armed Command Ship of the Federation at the time) with him, bolstering his courage of sorts. In the latest episode, he was back to being alone (also having gone through the Mars incident which everyone blames him for).
