Iconians? In the Neutral Zone? With the USS Yamato? Sweet!

Picard mentions his love of archaeology for the first time! Whee!

And then Picard orders “Tea, Earl Grey, hot” from the replicator for the first time! Yay!!!!

Iconian Gateway, y’all!!!

This episode had a couple of cool firsts concerning Picard, and it made my fanboy heart jump with glee. But also, there were Romulans, which are still being vastly underused, and some awesome ancient civilization stuff in the Iconians. Both La Forge and Riker get some neat character moments, and Data continues to remind everyone what a great thing it is to have an android on the team. It’s not a particularly excellent episode or anything, but it was a lot of fun.

Fashion Talk: Did the Romulans get their uniforms from the 80s? Those are some amazing fucking shoulder pads, you guys.
