Fly Me to the Moon

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Picard discovers an important person from his past may be integral to the divergence in the timeline. Q continues his manipulation of the timeline, taking an interest in Dr. Adam Soong. Seven and Raffi attempt a daring rescue of Rios, while Jurati faces the consequences of her deal with the Borg Queen.

Our Take

The Q and Soong pairing gives this episode its spine, and watching a desperate scientist get seduced into villainy is genuinely fun. The Rios rescue subplot moves fast but feels like filler, and the Jurati material gets weird in ways the show doesn’t quite earn yet. A decent middle chapter that coasts on John de Lancie clearly having a blast.
