It does a creepy factor and gives them that air of superiority that makes them so chilling.<br /><br />Steward really showed off his acting chops here, as he pulled off the Borg version and the scarred version of Picard so well. He's just fantastic.<br /><br />I also have to agree about Shelby. It's nice to have a character like her that could be any gender, and Elizabeth Dennehy did an excellent job as the character.<br /><br />A great beginning to season 4 after an amazing end to season 3. Just good stuff all around.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74329981930841437782018-12-03T18:09:49.033-05:002018-12-03T18:09:49.033-05:00While it's a wonderfully tense, exciting episo...While it's a wonderfully tense, exciting episode, I can't share people's enthusiasm for Shelby. She went so far out of her way to be antagonistic and rude to Riker, I found it hard to believe she would get to the commander position in Starfleet. The only explanation that makes sense is that she was trying to show Riker up so that Picard would force Riker out to clear the path for Shelby...but that requires a really dramatic misreading of Picard's character and his relationship with Riker. <br /><br />Also, we've now had two episodes dealing with Riker having Captain assignment offers (and apparently he's had three) and I'm still not entirely sure why he's still with the Enterprise. It certainly isn't fear of making big decisions as Shelby surmises.magrittenoreply@blogger.com
