The Bounty
24 March 2023
So many callbacks for hard core Trekkies, it was hard to keep score.

I guess the best bit was at the fleet museum with the Defiant and Voyager and the accompanying themes. It gives Jack a moment to gush over the starships even though he has no time for Starfleet.

The callbacks were strictly for fans. The obvious example being the brief return of Moriarty. The brief flashbacks of a younger Riker from The Next Generation leading to the introduction of a new Data.

With the Titan hunted by the rest of Starfleet. Picard goes to see an old friend Geordi La Forge who runs the fleet museum. He is reluctant to help as he does not want to place his daughters in harm's way.

Meanwhile Riker, Raffi and Worf break into the Daystrom Station to find out just what was taken by the Changelings.

Vadic has nefarious plans to get Picard and will go through all his contacts to get to him.

As the Next Generation band reunites slowly, characters like Captain Shaw were sidelined. Although enjoyable I did did think the main plot stuttered slightly due to all the fan service.

Amanda Plummer on the other hand out chewed the scenery more than her father ever did in Star Trek 6 in this episode.
