The episode never does anything with its concept. We never get to know what led Future Picard to do all this. And he spends most of the episode sleeping anyway, and when he finally awakes, our Picard shoots him. Tries to be interesting, but it's mostly running in place for most of the episode. It wastes its concept by never giving us the required info or answering the questions we ask. Cause and Effect did this timeloop thing better, even when I have my own problems with that episode. It isn't necessarily boring or handles its characters exceptionally bad, but I never really enjoyed this one. 3/10 might be a little harsh though, but I'm sticking with that until I rewatch it again.
