À propos of nothing, my favorite Picard episodes:

1. The Drumhead

2. Tapestry

3. The Inner Light

4. Chain of Command

5. Darmok

Darmok was wildly creative, I thought. It's one of the only times I've ever felt just utterly amazed by the quality of the storytelling on a television show.

I watched Darmok with my youngest and they quickly realized they communicated through memes.

Temba, his brain rotted

Darmok and Jalad, aura maxxing

Shaka, when the six seven
