    And what I mean by "fair" incidentally, is perfectly illustrated by the Tyken's Rift debacle. Nobody trashes Generations because they put that location into the Stellar Cartography scene. But with Picard, the error (if it is one), is enough of an outrage to warrant a dedicated YouTube video and dozens of sneering comments.

    I'm merely suggesting the criticism should be consistent, rational and proportional.
    Because the interpretation that a Tyken's Rift is an anomaly means it could be on a star map, it's like having a shallow water warning on a nautical map.

    I think you put too much stock in Youtube videos. It's 32 seconds of edited clips not an hours long scripted video and it has comments, a decent amount for the views, but why does that matter?

    And to be fair I've seen people trash Generations because the lighting on the Enterprise is different than the series and the dome on the roof of the bridge was glass not transparent aluminium so lets not pretend Trek didn't always get this amount of scrutiny.

    I thought that episode teetered a little bit on the side of mawkish, but ultimately was quite pleasant. A nice garden stroll palette cleanser.

    I think this season will do better on rewatches where you watch a few episodes together. This kind of breathing room episode where you take stock and fully flesh out the emotional stakes and relationships can leave you feeling a bit underserved, but I think they make the whole thing better when a season is taken as a whole.

    I have a lot to say about the show (all good which is a surprise for somethingTNG related) but I don’t want to risk spoilers (and I believe I already saw one when searching for the release date for Discovery Season 3) but there is something that I would like to know.

    Why was Marina Sirtis relegated to a guest star spot in the end credits and not listed as a Special Guest Star like Frakes and Jeri Ryan (who got one for a five second appearance in her first episode.
