Consensus within the #StarTrek #Slack at work is that the writers are really going to have to move mountains to have the #JackCrusher character not ruin the legacy of both #Beverly and #Picard.

That's probably overstating it a bit, but it's just so far out of character for either of them...

And yet, everyone who has seen the rest of the season (#IngloriousTreksperts etc) sings its praises. So there has to be something more to it... right?
