I adored "Nepenthe," I thought it was Frakes' and Sirtis' best work. I wasn't surprised that Will and Deanna had split afterwards, considering 80% of marriages in real life end in divorce after losing a child. Their reunion added to the happiness of the series finale.
the lesson Matalas evidently drew from this was that he ought to bring back Will full time, Deanna only in the last third
Yeah, I wasn't happy that no one addressed Agnes Jurati's S2 storyline at all. Maybe if they go ahead with a Star Trek: Legacy series we'll see the influence of Borg!Jurati at some point?
we get the post credits scene with Jack and Q. Ugh. Triple Ugh.
Eh, Q did tell Jack not to be so linear in his thinking. On one hand it dilutes the power of Q's death in S2. Otoh, if Q met Jack earlier in Q's timeline, it gives a stronger reason why Q forced Picard to confront his past with his parents in S2. (Other than the "you don't want to die alone like me.")

Matalas stated on Twitter that Deanna's limited appearance was due to distance and scheduling issues for Sirtis (https://screenrant.com/star-trek-picard-terry-matalas-troi-season-3/).
