Re: PIC S1: The End Is the Beginning

I agree with all of the criticisms expressed so far. A few other items that stood out to me:

*The opening exposition scene was a completely unnecessary rehash of the interview in Ep 1. So much of the first three episodes has felt like stalling. We should have been in space by Ep 2.

*On the other hand, the subtle digital de-aging of Patrick Stewart was very nicely done. The technology has improved a lot over the past decade.

*Apparently, the Vasquez Rocks are no longer a protected park in the 25th century, and anyone can park their trailer home at this famous natural landmark.

*Isa Briones (Soji/Dahj) continues to be the weak link in the cast. Her acting was especially questionable in the scenes with Narek. Rios and Raffi are fine.

*Why did Rios have a random piece of shrapnel embedded in his shoulder? It was completely unexplained and made no sense considering the immaculate condition of the ship.

*For some reason, I find myself more excited for the return of Bruce Maddox than anything else in the series. I sincerely hope they don't botch it.

6/10 for me
