Star Trek: Picard: The Impossible Box (2020)
Season 1, Episode 6
10/10
Best since the pilot!

Warning: Spoilers
Finally the exposition is over and we can get to the actual story. This episode is about 10 minutes longer than past episodes to make up for the long and somewhat boring exposition of the first 5 episodes (okay 4, like it or hate it, 5 was not much exposition).

Beautifully shot (that computer reflection Locutus scene gave me chills), masterfully performed (Picard letting his PTSD out again is great, plus the long awaited Hugh reunion is bound to be a crowd pleaser), and finally something worth watching happens on that blasted Artifact.

I can't wait to see where this heads, and I like the longer episode format. If you're gonna be a web series, you shouldn't be bound by a 45 minute episode allowing for regular commercials. Even Discovery got that right.

9.5/10, rounded up to 10 just because I was hoping to actually see Riker and/or Troi in the closing shot as a cliffhanger.
