Review of Nepenthe

Star Trek: Picard: Nepenthe (2020)
Season 1, Episode 7
6/10
Nepenthe
6 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
There is a nostalgic treat for The Next Generation fans.

Picard takes Soji to people he can always rely on. His former Number One Riker and ship's counsellor Troi. They live in the woods in the Planet Nepenthe with their daughter Kestra.

It allows Soji to bond with Kestra and come to terms with her realisation that she is an android. She has also been betrayed by Narek who is now hot on the trail of Rios's ship.

Meanwhile Elnor comes to Hugh's rescue in the Borg cube but Narissa has laid a trap.

The episode did not just trade in nostalgia. It also broke the crew up so there were three ongoing stories. I still felt restless though. Something is not flowing about the first season of Picard as it feels inert.
