I have been working under the assumption that the unknown vessel is Peanut Hamper. Because that seems like a comedic call back. But Lower Decks has a history of surprising me!

Not to mention my favorite work of Tellerite cinema.
Err, wrong IP there, @beefcat. "The Historical Documents" isn't from Star Trek, it's from BSG.
(I also have a soft spot for parts of Picard season 1)
I actually like that this is a favorite episode thread, because season one of Picard has "Nepenthe," which I come back to again and again. I love how Troi is the central character of that episode and the primary mover of the whole plot. It's the crowning moment for any non-titular TNG character in all of Picard, and superior to anything in S3!
I spent over a decade addicted to meth, and in my experience, that green slime ain't meth.
Well, that's a decision you'll have to make for yourself. I happen to have grown up on DS9, and in my heart there's not much room for Worf's Wacky Adventures on Risa; people a couple years older than me tend to have performed some personal, private retconning of at least one episode of TNG's first season--if not more. And I have just finished the novel "Spock's World," and realized I wish I'd read it years ago and some of the thing's Diane Carey wrote in that exceptional book are better than the contradictory idea's Paramount officially introduced in later media.
What season 2 of Picard means to the producers is far less important than what it means to you--and if it inspires you to go back and watch TNG, you may want to jump straight to Season 2 of that show, as well.
