I did find the scenes on Vashti fairly compelling, because I appreciate exploring new terrain and Patrick Stewart fencing with a child makes for an enjoyable visual.

At last, this show is no longer just a talky chamber drama with characters doing little more than speaking to each other while sitting in chairs of various comfort levels.

B+

There's a level of presumptive idealism running through this version of the character which is simultaneously infuriating and endearing, but it infantalizes him in a way that I'm not sure I completely accept.

3/5

The show starts to really find its feet in this fourth episode, very much proving to be the first episode that has found that more natural balance between being something new as well as reminiscent of classic Trek.

The first properly disappointing episode that finds Picard treading water and lacking any discernible direction.

4/5

The holograms remain fun, but the writers are straying dangerously close to turning them into a joke; when we start seeing the emergency stand-up comedian, we'll know they're jumping the shark.
