That seemed to be the suggestion and that part I didn't like.
I mean, it kinda makes sense.
To me it's more about what exactly was in her head. The Admonition seems to be an extremely powerful and disturbing set of memories from an incredibly ancient and powerful situation that most people who experience it don't survive.
The Borg assimilating that is just like the individuality memetic virus they considered spreading via Hugh in TNG.
Am I the only one that's expecting Elnor to suggest putting some shrimps on the barbie and then complaining about space dingos eating his space babies?
His vernacular is a little .. odd.

Perhaps. It's just that....
I really like the Borg (with the exception of a Queen, but it's canon now and Seven did well with it, so whatever). That whole bit that it shutdown the cube feels dangerously close to Worf'ng the Borg and as someone who loves the Borg as being this insanely dangerous menace, I don't want to see it happen.
I am resigning myself to it happening, though .
Also, Voyager sucked.

Can I say, that however much I have criticism for any particular Star Trek series, that I love how much they're honoring them anyway? I may have been disappointed with Voyager's lost potential, but I loved Seven and I love using the Borg lore from Voyager, and I even love using the terrible Borg queen lore to quality advantage. This is a beautiful dance with the lore and it's amazing.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I agree with that entirely. My only complaint was what I mentioned above, not that Seven is a part of it. As the other person said in a prior post, Chills during one specific part of this episode.

On the whole I approve of the choice not to disregard anything just because fans didn't like it. In terms of heavy duty worldbuilding Picard takes primarily from the divisive 2009 film and the disliked Nemesis, but is using them to tell a so far interesting story.
What's the bet that when Annika/Seven of Nine's work is done, she'll go back to ruling the borg cube?
Well I feel that that was the main internal conflict that they were telegraphing, however,
since the borg released her once they had flushed the TalShiar, they might be hinting that if Seven comes back, it will be to rule in a more free-will capacity, indicating a setup for a new, "reformed" version of the borg under Seven, without the need for all the traumatic surgery and rehabilitation the XBs needed before

Nine, I was just glad they mentioned the Deep Space stations at all. Continuity!
Besides, if it had been Nine, that means that the potentially threatening Federation fleet that might have orders to kill Soji would be crawling over my favorite DS station, so nope.

To be honest I just wanted to see it with that fresh coat of paint, the ships have all looked glorious on Picard so far.

The show is not nearly as, like, troubling and problematic as I was picturing, just based on its age also. Some stuff feels a little dated, certainly, but compared to other media of the time it's like a love letter to progress.

Y'ALL THERE IS A DOG IN THIS EPISODE OF STAR TREK AND THEY ARE VERY GOOD
Deep Space... heartbeat intensifies ...12 soul crushed

Yeah;
While I knew it probably wouldn't happen, there was absolutely a part of me that was waiting for, "We can't go to Deep Space Twelve. Lay in a new course for ... Deep Space Nine".
It probably would have been a bit hacky, and it's probably for the best they didn't, but the nostalgia based part of my brain would have clapped.
I wish they spread some of the stuff from the past couple episodes out more over the season. It feels like they're trying to cram stuff in before the season end so shit makes sense.
Like, I like the overall concepts, but it feels like the pacing's off on several fronts.
Also Zhat Vash lady killed Hugh out of nowhere, she gon' die and I hope Elnor gets to do it.
"Go down, kick ass, and set yourselves up as gods, that's our Prime Directive!"
It sure seems like they are testing the waters for a Star Trek: Fenris Rangers and their friend Elnor show. I would be down, the biggest problem that I have had with Picard is that there are quite a few characters that I find interesting, but there are so many of them that none of them get enough time.

I really like the last bit with the woman and the miner stuck together in his house in the storm. It's so raw and uncomfortable in a way Star Trek (good or bad) almost never is, almost like a little one-act play, like a mini "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," with these two unpleasant characters just tearing strips out of each other for minute after minute. It's also interesting to me structurally, with the way the plot hinges entirely on these two guest characters having an epiphany, and the main cast barely involved in the climax at all.
As an overall episode it's definitely one of the ones that's aged the worst, with all the va-va-voom music and the camera just following the women's asses around, and the core theme that men are just sweaty rape beasts waiting to be unleashed, but I really like that last segment. Also, Mudd is great.
resurrect all the dead Borg and ex Borg? Given that voyager episode where we learn death isn't a big deal for the Borg until more than 72 hours (or however long it was) have passed.
Noticed First Contact is on Prime, started watching it and had this great sense of deja vu, from the time I had first seen it and every time since, when Riker exclaims "Time travel!" and my past and current selves all thought "Wait, why didn't they just travel through time first and then fly to Earth to avoid this defensive fleet?"

At least they didn't end up in WW2, where they would have been stuck in the Time traveler traffic jam behind all the other people that are either trying to kill of save Hitler, and that one guy who sounds like Riker and hates Gargoyles.

Goddamn Capn Pike I dunno if saving all them kids was worth it
Lots of good Data stories between season 4 and what I’ve seen of season 5 so far, with Silicon Avatar being my favorite. Also, just watched Disaster, which is almost skippable, except it has Worf delivering a baby so it’s a must.

Change of plans due to circumstances I guess, though I wouldn't be surprised if it came back around in an 11th hour moment.
