I still have very mixed feelings about this show, but I'm currently leaning in the "it's terrible" direction.
Amongst other things, [spoiler=Spoiler]
Whose bright idea was it to bring the Borg Queen back in time to 2024 Earth. The whole point of the "First Contact" movie was to PREVENT this kind of thing from happening. And then suddenly the characters behave as if this weren't a foreseeable possibility. (And it's not as if they specifically needed a Borg Queen to do the temporal calculations, any Vulcan could have done it... in fact Seven probably could have.) They've also completely changed the rules regarding assimilation, in a way that makes ZERO sense. And they've added a backstory to Picard that again makes no sense and isn't consistent with what we'd seen before. The whole thing just reeks of truly bad writing.
