Picard's dream girl

Warning: Spoilers
I always felt like Commander Daren was the best fit in terms of compatibility with Picard. Daren is fierce when it comes to her job, cultured, intelligent and as an added bonus she even has a great body. I enjoyed the chemistry between her and Picard and how she slowly moves Picard out of his solitary bubble.

I'm not a musician but I found the scenes of them performing together to be quite intimate and certainly the most intimate scene the show has done with Picard. The writing captures that sense of exploration and joy of the unknown that is often present when discovering a new love ----- Stewart does a great job of putting that into his performance.

Daren's performance and chemistry with Picard was so good that my only major complaint is that we do not have more of this. This could have been stretched out or expanded upon in future episodes.

A few reviewers have commented on the title not making sense? Well, you could interpret it many ways --- here's my take ---- The lesson is about taking a chance to share something deeply personal with another and/or the consequences that love has on objectivity.

A great episode ---- Jean Luc is a madman for letting that beauty go.
