Star Trek: Picard: Season 2

2x09 Hide and Seek

What a great episode! I adored the conversation between Jurati and the Queen, and Alison Pill has been killing it this season. The themes of reconciling with the past for various characters are hitting home. I also appreciated that they noted the discrepancy with Picard's mother appearing as an old woman in that early TNG episode.

The action scenes aren't put together all that well which is letting things down. Too many interruptions to the flow. And the thing which has been a big question mark for me was the decision to use so little of Elnor this season. Did the actor only have limited availability?

Where is the discrepancy ? Since TNG never established that his mother took her own life, it was totally OK showing her as an older woman. She could have had a long and healthy life as far as we knew until now. Picard's line that he imagined seeing her as an old lady is supported by that scene but I don't see a discrepancy. It's more retconning from where I stand.
I actually think it's sad they put this kind of past in the character's life. As if he hadn't enough traumas in his life already.
