Seems to be one of her defining traits. She also hosed up the Dajh capture too by being reckless and definitely would've hosed up the Soji one if not for Narek.

I think Rikker and Deannas house in that episode is the same set used in Avengers Endgame?

Yeah fair enough, but it ultimately meant nothing (and I was addressing the unlikelihood of the suggested plot point in the post I was replying to). They're tracking the ship and apparently had all the information you'd need to find the homeworld. Why not follow him a little longer to gain access to the room? She learnt nothing usable.

She’s definitely one of the weaker characters because she does this kind of poo poo all the time and it makes her seem like a complete moron.

Tony’s cabin is in Georgia.

Riker’s cabin was in The Great Outdoors though

Just imagine a Riker sex candle ghost episode but it’s John Candy visiting him each night.

the first thing I thought of when Picard said his new crew had more baggage than his old one was "Crusher was haunted by a sex ghost and her son was space Jesus"

Pretty much nothing happened in this episode except for the evil Romulan lady killing people, and that was super loving dumb like CW superhero show level of villainy.

So edgy. Real fun to watch Hugh watch all the people he cares for die and then get killed himself. Thanks, Star Trek!

I think the idea they're seeding is that the Zhat Vash are only the Romulan sect of an anti-synth terrorist movement. The Federation has its own (probably connected to Section 31 of course)

Let's be real if there are any two people who could pull of polyamory its Troi and Riker.

I liked this episode and did a lot of great things for Troi as a character but also reminded me that oh yah, Johnathan Frakes is a good actor. I also contend that the show is setting up Rios as a possible Captain should they want to do a more tradition Star Trek new lives new civilizations type of Trek.

Though I DO think its mean that they randomly kill Troi/Riker kid, is that technically fridging?

This show has a million threads in the background it isn't going to do any of the work to meaningfully pull together, Vulcan/Romulan secret unification is absolutely one of them.

No one else seems impressed that Riker's house has shields, cloaking scanners, and an orbital defense system, which all suggests a powerful AI/computer system and a power source that's possibly as strong as a warp engine (weren't ship shields powered by the warp engines?).

I like to think they keep Engineer O'Brien in a shack out back, keeping all the hidden machinery running.

Probably Molly O’Brien at this point. Miles is probably still teaching at the Academy, or retired and gallivanting around holodeck adventures with Bashir.

For real. I think I mentioned this before, but there is this really good episode of Cheers where Kate plays this young ambitious Boston politician. She's really cool and downright dashing. It really paints a different type of Captain that Mulgrew could have played.

Janeway should have honestly been more Kirk-like.

Not sure if the bosses would've allowed Kate to rip her shirt in every fight scene

This is true but everyone else on that bridge is the vocal equivalent of NyQuil. Especially Tom, Harry, and Chakotay. I struggle to stay awake through any of their episodes on a normal basis.
