Imposters

I am not easily impressed but I am today. This episode showed every reason Star Trek and TNG in particular, are so compelling. The writing showed depth and nuance, with performances that would elevate even mediocre material. The wonderful layering of the Picard Roe relationship and history was so organic and critical to the theme of the episode...who and what do you really know?

These scenes retroactively add depth to the older shows they reference. And the cgi and visual direction is movie quality. In fact, I dare say it is better than the current crap Marvel has been forcing on the world.

This is an episode that is rewatch able. .

Everything about this season is so so so much better than the previous two seasons. I know they were trying to do a series of Picard seperate film the next Gen crew, but they should have just bought back the TNG crew from the start.

This is not a review of this episode, more a review of the season so far.

While I do prefer the episodic style of Strange New Worlds as that is more traditional Star Trek, I am enjoying this arc season. Maybe it's just nostalgia, it's probably part of it. But everything about this season is so much better than what has come before. Picard feels like the real Picard and I respect him again. The first two seasons had done a lot of disservice to the character, but so far this has been redeemed IMO.

Imposters is not just arguably the best episode yet of Picard, but the best episode of all the new Star Trek shows out there.

If you're a life long Trekkie, like me, then this season so far has already surpassed your expectations, but the cameo role in this episode rounds off a nicely untied moment in TNG history, while also developing the characters and storyline perfectly.

A+ to all the cast and crew on this one. From start to finish this episode had it all. Reuniting old characters both expected and unexpected was made perfect by not only the acting but the direction as well.

I fail to see how the season gets better from here but I have high hopes!

This season continues to surprise with its amazing episodes. This one has it all: action, heart, intrigue. Somehow instead of just being a cash-in on the nostalgia, the writers have crafted something new that touches upon many aspects of the past, and honours that past. Great performances from several characters, and lots of great tit-for-tat dialogue that suggests a much higher calibre of writing than the previous seasons got. I only wish the previous seasons were up to this level, but it looks like maybe, at least, Picard will go out with a bang. Let's hope the rest of the season holds up to this.

Bloody hell. There really isn't much more that needs to be said. If you walk away from this episode feeling "meh" then I may begin to suspect you've been compromised.

This episode again proves that ST:TNG is the GOAT and Deep Space Nine was a great GOAT in waiting.

Halfway through this season and the action, suspense, and the nostalgic feels are peak.

Forget the first two seasons of Picard.

This is the Star Trek you've been waiting for.

The writers and director all do a fantastic job of capturing the essence of these characters we've known for so long. And throwing in a fan favorite blast from the past, only adds to their complete understanding of Star Trek lore and canon.
