Star Trek: Picard: Two of One (2022)
Season 2, Episode 6
4/10
More ridiculous than is immediately obvious
7 April 2022
This very uneven show continues. The producers knew this was going to be as boring as hell so it's been top loaded with a flash forward which is nonsensical for an obvious reason. I don't think anyone noticed how stupid it is. It descends into complete silliness with a musical number that comes as a surprise and not least for the band. Remarkably, things get even sillier with an unfortunate event but what's most weird is the script is awful and the writers seem to know it. At one point a character says "What if it's mental?" and I couldn't have agreed more. The episode is mental. In other news Orla Brady forgets she's not supposed to be Irish a couple of times but the director didn't notice and it's quite entertaining. Jeri Ryan spends a lot of time standing around with a look on her face that says "Thank God I don't have a lot of lines in this one" and there's a subplot revealed very clumsily that has potential even if it is just another ball being juggled to make this appear more interesting than it is.
