Now when I see there's a new episode to watch, I'm like shall I bother? As much as I appreciate attempts by showrunners to acknowledge fans criticisms, the claims they just don't understand Star Trek keep being proven right. This episode was just generic filler, I mean what was the aim of it? Books entire planet and people were destroyed... He's never going to get over it, none of us would. And yet at the end of the episode we're supposed to believe he's accepted the situation and is able to move on? Life just doesn't work like that, extremely badly handled subject. Picard's crippling remorse over Data's passing was handled in a much more realistic way. Tilly lacks confidence? We already know! The Vulcans, sorry Ni'var, are allies but can be complete A*Holes? Again we know! Don't even get me started on Burnhams relationship with her mother, they should remain as far away from each other as possible, until they've had some serious counselling. On the other hand I quite enjoyed the Trill person Grays rebirth as an android. But that alone wasn't enough to pull the episode above poor in my humble subjective opinion. If the show carries on as it is, I foresee a potentially successful attempt to write it out of canon and ignore it. Is that really what the showrunners want?
