Picking up the pace, episode 7 of Devs brings together several significant plot points, leading up to the supposedly predetermined fate of the final episode.
Whether or not “Part 2” was the worst entry in Star Trek: Picard’s first season is up for debate, but what it did was to highlight all that’s made it a well-produced but frustrating show that, sadly, fell shy of the mark.
“Broken Pieces” is an episode that sends everyone on their way to where they’ll need to be in the upcoming two-part finale, but doesn’t do so with any tangible enthusiasm.
While the 6th episode of Star Trek: Picard makes strides towards the franchise’s core ideas and is significantly more ambitious, it still struggles to know what to do with itself.
After two weeks of what was beginning to feel like CSI: Picard, it was nice to return to something recognizably Star Trek in “The End Is the Beginning”.
As “Maps and Legends”, the second episode of Star Trek: Picard, comes to an end, it still feels like a show that’s yet to start telling its actual story.
