Uch what cheesy, convenient garbage. It's like this whole series was written by someone who has never written a sci-fi series before (oh wait, it was). Every aspect of this show is very overtly thrown in as a convenient prop to attempt to fix a plot hole, with no subtlety or layering whatsoever. The core plot about super advanced robots coming to destroy all the humans is such a rip off of other stories like Descender. Throwing in at the end that Seven and Raffi are now lesbians together is a bit ridiculous. Killing off Data like that while replacing Picard with a robot copy of himself yet acting like it's somehow still him is downright stupid. The entire Borg subplot felt completely unnecessary. The convenient speed with which this synthetics ban was lifted was a joke. The laziness of the graphics team that they couldn't design more than one ship at the end for either the Romulans or the Starfleet armadas is laughable (they even had to work it into the script to try and explain why every one of those ships was identical). Also, why was Starfleet initially refusing to do anything and now they're suddenly ready to send one of the biggest fleets we've ever seen in a Star Trek show? Why is Agnes suddenly absolved of murdering Bruce Maddox?
Also the design of La Sirena is so decidedly un-Star Trek — it looks like it was a rip-off of something from Mass Effect.
I really had faith in Patrick Stewart that he was reviving this character for something worthwhile, but instead all we got was this pandering, juvenile trash heap of a show.
