the season finale has really hung with me which is the mark of good work or my own obssessive mind. also there's been an insane amount of promotion around this with cbs access pitching new subscribers.
in retrospect, it's where chabon was going with this all along. he probably started with the idea and worked backwards. the failing is that the idea isn't quite worth 10 eps. and it's a flawed finale - it's poetically sound but highly illogical. maybe that's another reason why it sticks in my head - i keep trying to resolve it. perhaps that's a key to chabon's writing style.
i was extolling the virtues of isa briones. i just learned she sang 'blue skies' in the finale, which worked really well on many levels (the song figures prominently in st: insurrection). there's a 'making of' vid of this, but it's a major spoiler (even though y'all have probably figured out where picard goes), so i'm just posting the audio here:
turns out isa was the youngest person yet to be cast in hamilton. she was just 19 and was on the national tour as peggy and maria. she just turned 21 in january. she's an ingenue to watch.
