Pretty good episodes. I love that they brought Book back even though he was supposed to be in jail. He’s too good of a character to leave in jail for too long. I’m sad that Mr Saru is leaving. I hope he guest stars a bit. I wish we got to see more of the bridge crew like Owo and Detmer because I love them and want to meet the new people.
Also this new McGuffin seems pretty neat. I always wanted to know more about the Progenitors.
Tying in the fun single episode adventure from “The Chase” and integrating the creation mystery as this season’s plot is a great move. Hopefully, they’ve built it out enough to have a fulfilling conclusion (especially since the string of reshoots that occurred when it was announced that this would be their last go). With Kurtzman’s involvement and his association with JJ’s brand of McGuffin storytelling, I will certainly temper my expectations.
I don’t think there should have been post-home episodes. I do, however, think they should have shown Voyager landing (remember, it can do that) on Earth and watching people walk out into the Terran sunshine, followed by an empty bridge except for Janeway who says goodbye to the old girl after seven long years.
As the viewer, it’s hard not to dislike a new face in the captain’s chair. We’re so used to Picard’s strengths and style that anyone else’s flaws seem immediately obvious. Jellico is probably a fine captain without the unavoidable comparison, but the crew (as a stand-in for the audience) were highly critical and slow to trust him. I’m not sure who was more in the wrong.
