The actor is 34, so he's doing well

Ah, well there’s the answer then.
In-universe and in real life, Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2 aired/occurred 34 years ago. The season Dr Crusher missed because she was spending a year ‘working at Starfleet Medical’. She left without fanfare and returned without comment after a year away.
They didn’t start developing the on-screen relationship between Crusher and Picard until much later, however there is a first season episode, The Naked Now (S1 E3) in which … well … this happened:
The Naked Now is a sequel to an original series episode, The Naked Time, so if that’s where they’ve taken this they are very deep into backstory indeed.
(In real life Gates McFadden wasn’t getting on with the show’s lead writer and had really left the series, until the producers managed to coax her back).
*If* any of this is close to the mark, Crusher cut off contact with her former Enterprise friends when her son entered his mid-teens and presumably, if he’d been adopted away, managed to track her down, demand her attention or something of the sort.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
Superb again. Won’t indulge in spoilers as it’s only just dropped, except to say the very last note of the musical score in this episode refers back to a similar scene in Wrath of Khan.

I wasn’t as enthralled this week. It was alright.
But I found every scene with Raffi (apart from the obvious) as an entertainment vacuum.

I'm sure there is a point to her storyline, but its painfully slow & boring atm, spoiling otherwise excellent episodes.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
What I'm hoping for is some epic effects of ship to ship battle.

They heard you and delivered in spades. That new weapon on board the Shrike is quite something.
I think I’m kind of relieved they went for the simpler explanation re Picard’s son, making him early 20s rather than late 30s in age. A Naked Now/Starfleet Medical retcon would have been fun but maybe just a bit much.
Worf as a freelancer working for Federation security services is a great development for him. And the oblique reference to Odo was a nice touch.

For a weekly series people want to watch and discuss as it drops I think it’s simpler to put the spoiler warning in the thread title (which I have now done).
I’ll give folks time to spot it, then remove your spoiler tags later. [Already done]

Re: Star Trek: Picard
I've removed the tag now.
It should be plainly obvious that these topics are going to have spoilers in them.
There is no need for spoiler tags, if you dont want to be "spoilt", dont read them until you have watched the latest episode.

Or maybe not?
Mysterious face thing in No Win Secnario.
Glad this series has kept going at a good rate. The 2 previous seasons started out well but had started to go off track by now. Hopefully keeps it up.
Kept thinking Worf was going to feature somehow, maybe next week.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
The focus on the Enterprise Titan this week was good. I do actually like the other end of the plot with Raff and Worf pursuing some veiled threat, but as the peril began to build in the nebula last week the regular cut away to their scenes became quite jarring and spoiled the tension a bit. It was definitely the right thing to keep the focus on the Enterprise Titan this week.
Once they’ve finished Picard as a series, it will be a crime against Sci Fi if Jeri Ryan doesn’t get her own series.

Re: Star Trek: Picard
It was certainly a good episode again, and it does seem like maybe the changelings are being controlled by some other baddie(s).
