The best episode ever I really enjoyed this one it touched every Avenue of star trek
A very lovely and apt closure to the #TNG + #DS9 + #VOY era. Thank you to all the staff and casts of the TNG+DS9+VOY era for creating a wonderful, memorable, and touching stories about humanity and the possible future. You've been part of my childhood, and seeing all of you for one last time… I have nothing but tears of joy and gratitude.
This is the best way to end that era, and open a new one. I hope the next generation will be as great.
No farewells. Only hope.
Someones gotta say it for the finale, one of the writers must have said let's just do Star Wars and slap a Trek brand on it. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Fine ending for our beloved Next Gen family. PS: Nice touch with Koenig voicing his "son"!
This episode was a proper send-off for the crew of the old Enterprise. Terry did a good job, as he took Avengers Endgame as the bar. The ending let us hope that more is about to come from Paramount+ in the next years.
And, it is the ending, and the season, we got.
Fantastic!! Enjoyed the ending with so many loose ends tied up and a salute to the new generation!!
What an absolute perfect ending, and I say this while admitting this ending didn't go the way I expected it to. Like honestly, how many of us actually thought Picard was going to survive this episode? I didn't, but I'm damn sure glad he did, even if we never see any of these TNG characters ever again, which I honestly doubt we won't given the ending. This was an emotional final send off however for this crew that honored and respected each of them throughout the season, every single one of them got their grand moment to shine, Riker with his asteroid, Geordi with his ship, Worf with his rescue, Crusher with her contraction discovery, Data defeated Lore, Troi rescued them in the end with her love for Riker, and Picard saved his son. And how about that borg queen, holy absolute hell was she horrifying looking or what? Anyway, what a beautiful ending that they all deserved, and one last poker game for the sake of it all. Am I excited about the future with Q showing up to tease the next series with the Enterprise G? Sure, but not as happy as I am that the old timers I grew up with got their swan song and somehow, someway, all survived. And if you didn't burst into tears when Riker and Worf decided to stay back to find Picard, basically sealing their death, then damn it I don't know what will satisfy you in life. Was this show perfect? Fuck no. Was the 3rd season without flaws? Bahaha, no! But if you can't appreciate what this really was meant to be here, I don't judge you, I just feel sad you couldn't feel the raw enjoyment the rest of us felt, because this was fucking awesome.
Star Trek:Legacy with seven of nine as the captain of enterprise?
YES PLEASE!
The plot was resolved well enough, and we got a very relaxing and satisfying epilogue. What else could you want?
We got old star trek back this season. Some of it's spirit, anyway. We got a good plot. We got legacy characters back and they actually feel true to themselves and are respected. We got new likeable characters, and they made previous Picard season characters more likeable. What else could you want?
I'm not completely satisfied overall in regards to what's happened this season, and i've aired some of my issues in previous comments. But god damn am i completely satisfied right now, because we finally got some of old star trek back. We finally got respect and likeable characters and a good story, with an amazing send off for the old crew, and a good setup for the new crew.
I am so completely relaxed and satisfied. We finally got good and true star trek. I'm satisfied for years now.
This was an epic conclusion to so many characters I grew up loving. And then teasing us with a new crew guided by my favourite former Borg Seven of Nine perfectly played by Jeri Ryan. Please make it happen!
ok, this was a heavy dosage of nostalgia and in this case I'm ok with it. I hope that the next stage of Star Trek can learn from the mistakes of Season 1 and 2 and especially Discovery and give us something great. I am all out of nostalgia for now but this leaves me with hope for the first time in a very long time. Give this old fan something for me. I'm not the only one!
Far too long to put an ending to TNG but I can honestly say this series did it right!!
Can't wait for the next series with Captain Seven and her crew either!
Wonderful culmination of a whole host of spin-offs.
The bit at the end leaves hope for something more.
In case anyone is interested allow me to complete the limerick that data started and never finished.
There once was a lady from Venus
Who's body was shaped like a penis
When First Contact was made
The crew were dismayed
When she told them her species and genus
Live long and prosper.
I laughed. I cried. This was utter perfection.
After the Borg threat was done, how did the very limited remaining characters overthrow all the Changelings that were still in the top key areas of Federation leadership?
Why did Jack need to give orders (or why was he even allowed on a ship) when he still would have the power to control people, unless they, without showing the audience. somehow magically removed his DNA that he was born with (which is different from all the other young people whose DNA was modified by transporters)?
Where was Agnes during the Borg fiasco?
Why was the "Reaper" threat (search up "Mass Effect Reapers") from the first seasons never mentioned again?
So, the Borg essentially only consist of the Borg queen from FC and Jack... okay. Consider me confused. Where are the Borg from VOY? Where is Agnes and her borgqueen version? I would have thought they'd somehow in the end at least try to connect with season 2... but no, they don't. Instead they bring back the queen from FC and VOY's Endgame (but don't refer to Endgame which was set after FC) and pretty much ignore season 2 of this show (save for a reference in the after credits scene).
We get major goodbye scenes, but in the end no one of the old crew has to sacrifice him or herself, Picard can reconnect with Jack and save him as well.
Plotwise, this resolution was really a major disappointment. Let's face it, we're meant to believe that pretty much all the officers over 25 were killed... so who now fills all the empty captain's chairs in the fleet? With fasttracked characters like Jack (whereas the Titan crew essentially remains unchanged)? And the changelings who bore such a rightful grudge didn't kill all the officers they replaced? That just doesn't sit right with me.
However, there's the fanservice - and they do everything right here. I love the Picard-Riker dynamic, I love that Data doesn't take over Riker's place as he did in the TNG-movies but still has major scenes with Geordi. I also enjoyed the Picard-Jack interaction even though the "now I know what I was missing" was rather too clichéd for my taste. But the highlight was the Ten Forward scene in the end with the card game. They could have filled season 3 with that card game alone and I would have been happy. Simply loved that!
With the after credits scene they pushed open the door to either another season or rather, since the story of the old crew is over, a spin-off with Jack...
This is the definition of how to do a good finale. A limerick being quoted from almost 40 years ago („There was a young lady from Venus…“) set me directly back to the first season TNG. I love it. It is awesome. Such a conclusive, dignified, joyful end. Bravo!
I suppose how much you enjoy this series finale will depend on how much you are swayed by seeing pretty much the entire TNG gang reunited for one last space caper. I really enjoyed it and it managed the unusual feat of going out with its best season.
The TNG cast have such wonderful chemistry together and the humour dotted throughout the episode hit every beat for me. Sure, the plot may have had a fair heap of fudging contrivance to tie it all up but it was a thrilling end.
Personally, Voyager has always been my favourite Trek series so a definite highlight for me was the little scene with just Seven and Tuvok reunited.
Speaking of Seven, I'm excited at the prospect of a new spin-off with her at the helm of the Enterprise G - I just hope we get some more Trek alumni cameos (I'd love to see Admiral Janeway). I also enjoyed the way this finale teased Seven's command without actually revealing it.
Fingers crossed Legacy comes to pass.
Absolutely perfect :clap::clap: Nostalgia :ok_hand:
I don't care if stuff was written too conveniently or cheesy this episode (and partly this whole season). This was f*cking beautiful. Also, Star Trek: Legacy, let's go! :heart_eyes:
I feel like they rushed the Borg story a bit.
Also next time I watch Star Trek I'll start wondering why on earth they need a whole crew when apperantly they can do it with just 5 or 6 on the bridge.
I enjoyed the season though, just not super but more than enough. And tons better than that other crap on Netflix.
ST:Fanservice is finally over. It was a tough watch, one I’m not glad I watched it. Terrible plots and acting. Season 1 was a lot more interesting and promising, even S2 was somewhat decent. Then came S3 and everything went to absolute ish. Maybe revisiting your childhood heroes (TNG) ISN’T a good idea after all.
S3’s only decent major characters were Jack & Shaw. The rest were terrible, some more than others. Why did they do Worf in like that? “Do you even hear yourself?” was so bad it was funny, in a laugh at the writers and at what stupid task I’m doing by watching this garbage. That speech Seven gave to like 4-5 crew members on the bridge at the end is emblematic of the utter stupidity of this show.
Farewell Jean-Luc, I’ll try to forget this transgression and remember TNG with rose-colored glasses. As of now, those glasses are tainted :(
I guess there will be more, if you stayed past the credits. Hopefully more of the quality of SNW and not this pile of hot dog ish.
Marvelous, absolutely marvelous! The best season of Picard and possibly the best new trek. I laughed, I cried. It truly was the proper send-off to the crew. However, they really should have included Laris at the end, but since apparently there will be a Picard movie and this won't be the last time we saw them, they might explain what happened to her and Picard there.
Jack as the captain's counselor is a bit weird and undeserved to be honest. The guy was responsible for successful assimilation and destruction, and then one year later he sits next to the captain, advising her, yeah ok. :rolling_eyes: As he himself said it - nepotism at its best. But I do love how they perfectly introduced a new spinoff just like they did in Discovery. Now give us Star Trek: Legacy with captain Seven of Nine! :heart:I really want to know what her line is. :smile:
I had a huge grin on my face the whole hour. What a great conclusion to TNG era.
This is definitely a great watch on Star Trek Day.
When the best scene is a word play on "threesomes", a scene with a heavy sword, and an almost identical creation of TNG's (beautiful) ending, you can tell this episode isn't great. I won't start to point out plot holes, incoherent plot lines, all open points from previous episodes that were never explained and all the scenes where writers preferred nostalgia over substance and intelligent sci-fi over over-dramatic action w/unnecessary pathos. I can't bear this anymore... I don't understand why this show has seemingly a structural problem to tell little witty coherent stories. A budget wasted for Hollywood BS that dangerously closely resembles Star Wars. They even copied the daddy issues part from Star Wars....
not bad for bunch of old farts
The last act -- and especially the card game -- are terrific here. Once again, though, a lot of the earlier stuff is dodgier.
Great addition to the franchise. Best season thus far.
Lots of emotion and great effects.
The sound is amazing if you have the right kit.
Look forward to more.
A convenient and cheesy finale to a season of the same but that's what we know and love.
Bit much having Nepo baby Jack suddenly be in a position like that. (and Beverly being an admiral!) That's more than a fast track but clearly they're setting up the next show. Speaking of :hearts: Seven deserves all of this greatness. If this show happens I'll be all over it and praying for an Admiral Janeway appearance :hearts:
I just hope it doesn't have too much Q. I know he's a fan favourite but it's too much silly fuckery for my tastes. I like my sci fi without omnipotencey.
I was definitely brought to tears multiple times during this episode. The last round seeing Picard's beautiful smile as he played cards with his found family. Loved this journey. Shame it took bascially forgetting about all that went on in seasons 1 and 2!
Now that's what I'd call a Finale!
I'm sure I know what 7 of 9 was about to say,,,, "On ya Bike" Lol ;-)
Not great art, but a satisfying end!
trite ending to a stupid last season.

No new ideas, just many generic "that's how you do sci-fi action" elements. Plus several emotional but absolutely not inspiring speeches.
If this wouldn't be "the end" for many (previously) beloved characters in a formerly beloved brand, it would be a pretty meaningless affair.
