Cool ideas, especially for the sequence of events in the wrap-up. I was really close to finishing my own 9-episode edit of season 3, but I tried to break the final 2 episodes into 3 and got bogged down trying to find a few more minutes of content to add to the middle installment (basically after Jack runs off through the reveal of the Ent D). I was thinking of maybe using some version of the cadet flashback from episode 4.
Anyway, I still love the core of the Picard show for all of its faults, and it’s always refreshing to see a new take on it.
