Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home may not be the best Star Trek film, but it is an undeniable crowd pleaser, the highest grossing Star Trek film of all time until J. J. Abrams reboot in 2009.

The second season of Star Trek: Picard adopts The Voyage Home's formula, set against 2024 Los Angeles. The overall feel is distinctively more serious, but it isn't afraid to have some fun.

While I enjoyed this episode and season so far, the overall premise is a bit messy. It doesn't help that Q is an odd ball character, an extra dimension being with incredible power, but all too strangely preoccupied with humanity and Picard. The Borg Queen attempts to balance Q, but I generally find dual adversaries storyline to be lazy. Hopefully, the writers will prove me wrong.
