F。 William Davis,
This would have been better as a book。 The novelty of having familiar voices doesn't compare with having a fully realised story。 I find the sound effects distracting and annoying (with the sole exception of the transporter beam)。 OK, anti-audiodrama sentiments aside, this is a fairly enjoyable Trek scenario set in the stormy post-Romulus era。 A nasty Romulan rogue called Rinan is discovered en route to a colony planet and fearing the worst, Seven and Raffi swoop in with the Fenris Rangers to eva This would have been better as a book。 The novelty of having familiar voices doesn't compare with having a fully realised story。 I find the sound effects distracting and annoying (with the sole exception of the transporter beam)。 OK, anti-audiodrama sentiments aside, this is a fairly enjoyable Trek scenario set in the stormy post-Romulus era。 A nasty Romulan rogue called Rinan is discovered en route to a colony planet and fearing the worst, Seven and Raffi swoop in with the Fenris Rangers to evacuate the locals but quickly learn that Rinan is after something other than the colony or its supplies。The plot feels very Stargate, ancient relic holds great power, evil warlord tries to obtain said relic, good guys attempt to hinder said warlord's efforts。I'm fine with a little hyperbole but I wasn't convinced that Rinan is the most dangerous person in the alpha quadrant right now。 Eh, Rinan turns out to be quite the cliché。The story has a nice little budding romance that I genuinely don't recall from season one of Picard。 In fact I'm unsure why they were hanging out at Raffi's shack in the first place。 Season two is almost here so I'll be be rewatching soon, but damn my leaky memory。 The relationship seems mostly very natural but with a few awkwardly forced moments of tenderness, and without any preamble (possibly because I've forgotten the on screen set up for it)。 Raffi is instantly recognisable but Seven seems largely out of character。 Although it feels weird I'm actually ok with it, the Seven of the Picard series is much changed from the Seven of the Voyager series and at this point we're judging with the bias of over 20 years familiarity with her earlier personality。 The other voice actors were fine, one Fenris Ranger called Hiro started off a tad annoying but I ended up enjoying his comedic misuse of words and phrases。 Fun story, too short, too dramatised。 。。。more
Papercuts1,
Whether you are (like me) eagerly waiting for Star Trek Picard season two to drop and looking for Picard-related material to tide you over, or you’re a Raffi/Seven fan wanting to know more about the budding romance between these two - this is for you!The audio drama is short (under two hours), but it’s packed with action, humor - and character development。 As a fun little space adventure including quirky new side characters plays out, we get a gently progressing f/f romance as Raffi and Seven na Whether you are (like me) eagerly waiting for Star Trek Picard season two to drop and looking for Picard-related material to tide you over, or you’re a Raffi/Seven fan wanting to know more about the budding romance between these two - this is for you!The audio drama is short (under two hours), but it’s packed with action, humor - and character development。 As a fun little space adventure including quirky new side characters plays out, we get a gently progressing f/f romance as Raffi and Seven navigate their first steps into a meaningful relationship。 There are quiet, thoughtful and sweet moments, and Seven in particular needs to learn to drop her armor while Raffi gently wins her trust。Yes, the adventure - saving an abducted professor and uncovering the mystery surrounding a vanished artifact - is a fun romp, and the edgy Picard soundscape makes it truly immersive during the flight-and-fight sequences, but it’s Raffi and Seven’s story that gives meaning to this little audio drama。Michelle Hurd and Jeri Ryan are both doing an excellent job voice-acting these two remarkable characters。 I only wish they’d put them in the same room together for the recording。 It’s not what’s done these days anymore, but there is a difference in authenticity when all voice tracks are recorded separately and stitched back together later。 Just not the same intimacy as the real thing。 Nevertheless, an entertaining, surprisingly romantic Star Trek Picard adventure that even hints at where we’ll find these characters at the beginning of season two。 。。。more

Valeria,
Incredibly heartwarming。 You love to see it
Steven Shinder,
Really good timing getting this released on Jeri Ryan's birthday and shortly before Picard season 2。 This picks up from where season 1 left off, showing us what Raffi and Seven's relationship is like。 You probably don't need to listen to this before season 2, but it does hint a little at what may come in season 2。 The conversations were interesting, sometimes odd in that Seven was making light of her trauma。 But there was also some very human dialogue。 An enjoyable listen overall。 Really good timing getting this released on Jeri Ryan's birthday and shortly before Picard season 2。 This picks up from where season 1 left off, showing us what Raffi and Seven's relationship is like。 You probably don't need to listen to this before season 2, but it does hint a little at what may come in season 2。 The conversations were interesting, sometimes odd in that Seven was making light of her trauma。 But there was also some very human dialogue。 An enjoyable listen overall。 。。。more
Brian Stuhr,
I'd give 5 * for an eBook version of this。It was good, I'm just not big on audio dramas。 I'd give 5 * for an eBook version of this。It was good, I'm just not big on audio dramas。 。。。more
