However, at least one other Romulan drone, Picard's plan relied on the inventories of Eridani A and Beta Antar.
Asking if there will be any illegal activity, Picard only responds that he doesn't know, but that he isn't in the habit of consulting lawyers before doing what needs to be done.
This episode is certainly better than the previous one, with the evil STD vibe being downplayed a lot. Do we really need loud music blaring...telling us how to feel...during EVERY conversation?
I really really tried to stay awake...And I have no problem with Discovery, But Picard...yawn. Picard is no different. Directed by Hanelle M. Culpepper.
After rehashing past events with a reluctant Raffi, Picard seeks others willing to join his search for Bruce Maddox, including pilot and former Starfleet officer Cristóbal Rios. Rios simply asks if they can get underway, and they all take their positions. Rios is smoking a cigar, and has a large piece of tritanium shrapnel embedded in his shoulder, which Emil begins to treat as he and Picard introduce themselves to one another. The pacing was good, the 45 minutes flew by. She asks Narek what Asha has told him, to which Narek tells her that he’s been told nothing, and that while he's unsure, he believes Asha has no idea of what she truly is, and after the incident on Earth, he believes it’s best that she remain unsure of what she is. Rios asks Picard about where they will be going, since Musiker informed him that Picard wasn't sure of their destination. They spot Ramdha at a nearby table, laying out a peculiar set of triangle cards in a certain fashion. These scenes and a few others did not endear me to this episode. The series started out so slowly and in such a boring manor that it had me kind of worried. Ramdha then aims the disruptor at her own head, but before she can fire, Asha rushes to her side and disarms her. Did the writers forget certain discussions that happened in older Star Trek shows regarding the topic of smoking? Back on La Sirena, the ship’s Emergency Navigational Hologram, another copy of Rios identical to Emil only with an Irish accent, informs him that the ship's navigation sensors are back at their maximum range, before inquiring about Rios and his encounter with Picard.

I've no idea what detractors are on about.
The problems I have with this episode is how Raffi keeps telling JL, ( her nickname for Picard), between drinks of the wine, she wants him to leave, she won’t help him. You are Starfleet to the core.
Taking cover, the Romulan assassins make their way into the house and are fought by Laris, Zhaban, and Picard. Back at Château Picard, Dr. Jurati informs Picard that the one thing she didn’t tell Commodore Oh was that she would be joining Picard in his search for Dahj's sister. That's great.
She mentions that since his resignation and her dismissal from Starfleet, the past fourteen years have been one long period of humiliation and rage, plus some snakeleaf-induced paranoia. I agree with him this idea could have worked. Thank you Picard for holding up the mirror for society to see what is really going on. Before she can say what this is, however, the restrained assassin awakens when Laris spritzes him with water, and Picard goes to question him.
The episode was better than its predecessor, but that's not saying much. The End is the Beginning moves closer to Picard going on his first space mission in fourteen years. ", "I'm not in the habit of consulting lawyers before I do what needs to be done. Rios only laments that he does not need another grand heroic captain to work alongside with, especially since the last time he had such a captain, he was killed, and that the death of this captain still haunts him.
", "Do the images have connection to Romulan mythology?"
For heaven's sake stop reviewing it before it even airs. User Ratings Realizing that she is about to lose her commission with Starfleet, she scolds Picard for giving up, and angrily leaves him, ignoring his calls to her.
