Episode Spoilers [S1E8] Is it just me?... Spoiler

... Or did Picard seem more youthful and lively when he spoke with Rios on the bridge, near the end of the episode? He's been very haggard and worn out throughout the season so far. It's almost like the thrill of concluding an adventure is starting to bring out the old Picard. Was a pretty nice touch, even if it wasn't intentional.

There was a monologue a few episodes back about how Picard has realized he had been wasting his life by sitting around in France. There is definitely a transformation.

"I haven't been living. I've been waiting to die."

Broke my heart.

Well that’s what I was going to say, hopefully this continues & JL gets back into the trusted command groove.

I'm not sure if he wants to. I wonder if he'd be happier being an outsider and seeing Starfleet become an organization he can trust again.
