    I only started revisiting this show last year and I have to say that I had almost completely forgotten the pre-9/11 sensibilities this show exuded with extravagant profligacy. Every one of Picard's speeches and arguments felt like a rush of pure sanity and reason and it had been oh so very long since I'd tasted such vintage. It's almost enough to make one believe in hope again.

    The dialogue in 4:00 - 4:10 seems to be from Silicon Avator as there's a clip later in this montage that comes form the same scene and it fits the context yet I can't recall Picard saying the words in 4:00 - 4:10 and the online transcripts don't feature them. I wonder if it's a differently edited version?

      The written dialogue for Star Trek Picard pales in comparison to The Next Generation. There is no substance, no passion, no intricate, deeper than surface level wisdom, and there is no queen of England. It hurts my sole to see people consume garbage for the nostalgia trip and then praise it, when the greedy corporation that made it is so clearly milking the franchise in your expense. But hey, that’s just a theory… AAAAA GGAAMMMEEE TTHHEEOORRYY

      New trek tends to write their characters as emotional infants and fairly one dimensional. Maybe it's a sign of our culture today. I have no idea.
      The one clip from Picard wasn't a great speech by any means. It was Picard telling someone he had just met that "he knows her and trusts her"... It's not believable by any means.
      The other clip talking about rights/responsibility wasn't bad, but by no means stands up to TNG standards. It's more emotional than idealistic and seemed to have little weight behind it.
      I also find it strange when people give their opinions the response tends to be to basically shut up and not watch... why can't I watch and critique? Bad trek is still better than no trek.
