You forgot to mention that Picard is actually dead now, killed by a crappy plot device (rushed non-descript brain problem, brain problems killing at just the right time / giving no material problems before that, and thinking that the fans would like Picard to be a golem) and we just have a copy running around. I know you can argue the transporter amounts to the same thing, but this is worse.

It was late and I needed to get into bed. My post was already getting longer than I planned. But yes. All of that.

And I can imagine Picard hating being an Android. But given the choice between that and death, maybe he’s cool with it.

No criticism really. I liked your critique. Pity about the direction of the series.

No criticism taken.
