Hobbled by the hasty disposal of one of its main characters and another in a long line of embarrassing failures for Star Trek’s ultimate paper tiger, the Borg Queen.

For now, even as the stakes slowly raise, it’s good to see Picard is having a little fun with itself in the moment.

If you thought that being trapped in a twisted timeline with fascist leaders was the worst thing that could happen to the crew of La Sirena, Episode 3 of Star Trek: Picard twists the knife in even deeper.

7/10

Assimilation ticks another Star Trek staple off the list - the novelty of the crew going back in time from their future to our present - but a strong cast means it rarely feels like theyre going through the motions (even if we are a little, perhaps).

3.5/5

The latest incarnation of the Borg Queen is an antagonist to savor, but some jarring tonal shifts ensure that Picard’s second trip back to the 21st century isn’t quite as memorable as First Contact.

4.3/5

It appears that the writers are working to course correct from season one in a big way, and this episode was a strong move toward fleshing out the characters to the depth we need them for us to actually care what happens moving forward.
