The Last Generation

Perfection! Perfection!! Perfection!!! Thank you to Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, Jeri Ryan, Tim Russ, Alice Krige, John de Lancie, Amanda Plummer, Michelle Forbes, Daniel Davis, Walter Koenig, Elizabeth Dennehy, Ed Speleers, Todd Stashwick. Everyone who worked on Picard Season 3 you slayed it and gave it your all!!! WELL DONE!!! The nostalgia of all the cast members from the past was fantastic but the story was also extremely well thought out and was brilliantly brought to the screen!!! Every episode of this season was like watching a movie in the theater! The cherry on top of it all is that maybe we could see some of you again!!! Make it so!!

Nostalgia, joy, and so many heartwarming feelings wrapped together in this beautiful episode allow me to consider this entire show redeemed. Next Generation is almost perfect for me but I always felt its ending could have been better in some way.

Now, watching this fantastic episode I finally feel the cycle is complete. It felt right, like the last page of a great book.

You see, fan service is not a crime. It is ok to explore new things but you can, and should, remember the older fans, like me, who watched every single episode or movie from the franchise.

This, finally, feels like the Star Trek I always loved.

This is the ending we needed, the ending this fantastic crew deserved. You made this old man very happy.

Thank you Gene. God bless.

Holy shoot, you did it. You basically made what we waited our entire adult lives for. Not a perfect episode but at the same time more than good enough. You have to be impressed with how this cast has evolved and how they can still carry a show. Compare how they act and relate now to those old episodes. Should I point out this is a TV show with an 82 year old man in the title role?

It would seem Paramount slow walked this season until the end. I was harshly critical of those other episodes. As for this finale, congrats and thank you to the entire cast and crew for this memorable accomplishment.

Third Season was the best of the Three , a good Send off for Picard , and ensuring the ability to use the name Picard in the future

It had everything great space fight ( CG maybe could have been better ) , the borg , the borg queen nostalgia and some , finally, good writing in of some new characters that can continue the franchise.

With good writers they can use this for years....

One downside.. was.. the split episodes , commercially i understand why it makes sense ....but for people who had to wait each week for the next episode will now understand the benefit of binge watching a series ,

This season was such a wonderful send off for the Next Generation. Completely restored the goodwill that both Insurrection and (especially) Nemesis squandered.

The final two TNG films reeked of milking the corpse of a once great show. This season showed the proper respect to a show that reached the heights of TOS, and yes I'm aware I'm vaguely paraphrasing Sirtis.

The final two TNG films just made it like it was a Picard/Data/Worf show. Here, the rest of the ensemble is given lots of room. Particularly Beverly, but also Riker, Deanna and Geordi.

Picard and Data weren't best friends, Geordi and Data were!

I've got minor quibbles but this probably isn't the place.
