When writing an manuscript, it needs a minimum of knowledge about human mind and not just typical magazine psychology who knows nothing what happen inside a human mind and were feelings is something Big and dramatic and unknown - just to develop an character and his childhood. After being Psycho Therapist for 30+ years and love good SciFi too, it seems disturbing and annoying when amateurs are guessing the human mind and wasting time with their lack of knowledge and guessing how the human mind is working.
Having a good and thrilling story don't need to go into an area in Picards mind they have no or just little knowledge about.
There are so much unnessecary shows about our time, with so little knowledge about human mind on all streaming channels. It seems unnecessary flying back in time and filling up time, repeating all the trivial stuff from shows in our time.
There could be do much they wondered about who are solved in the future on a much better way....etc.
