    Well, on several occasions she accompanied Picard in situations where Riker did not and effectively functioned as his diplomatic adjutant both off- and on-screen. While it wasn’t mentioned much, she had a great deal of experience as a diplomat working under Picard. It was a disservice, again, that we saw and heard so little of it. At least, when we did, she was very capable.

    It was also nice to see, on the few occasions we did, in later episodes, her stepping up into some command roles when given the chance. Her crashing the ship twice, though, was dumb.

      Say what you will about picard season 3 being “fan service”, but I loved when Deanna gets one of the bigger CGI shots in the series (and really, in terms of starship porn one of the best CGI shots in Star Trek period) to save the day by power sliding a starship.

        oh, no, i 😍 PIC S03. the first 2 seasons where abominable. i view that Borg Queen impromptu Pat Benetar jazz solo as the absolute nadir of Trek, and it’s literally the stuff of my nightmares.

        And Picard’s dad is Gaius fucking Baltar?!?!?!?! NOOOOO!

          This moment reminded me of when I saw Eat Pray Love and got to the end where the main character played by Julia Roberts rides off into the sunset on a romantic cruise with her true love who is played by Javier Bardem, the same actor who does an incredible performance as the serial killer in No Country For Old Men, which I had just watched recently, and I yelled at Julia Roberts “DO NOT RIDE IN A BOAT WITH THAT MAN”.
