I finally finished PICARD and it was SPECTACULAR | DOUBLE FEATURE REACTION (Ep. 9 & 10)

Well...we made it. I finally finished STAR TREK: PICARD. To celebrate, here is a DOUBLE FEATURE REACTION to "Vox" and "The Last Generation." What a ride this show was. Hope you all enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making it.

The plan was simple: They had the Enterprise-D and its crew. The Borg never stood a chance.

[@ScotchBeard78]

Terry Matalas has been like a gift from the Trek gods. TNG fans couldn't have asked for a more pitch-perfect final adventure with the entire cast working together, each having important contributions. It was such a celebration of the TNG era, and even though it was filled with fan service, it always fit and felt genuine. I never would have thought that what I was missing all these years was "TNG Meets Wrath of Undiscovered Country." The best of the best. It's been fun watching your reactions to it.

[@chattery]

Nailed it, every word.

[@sinimsdp]

Terry Matalas also stated in an interview (sorry if someone already mentioned this) that the final scene with the poker game was mostly unscripted. He just told the cast to play and chat for awhile and he filmed them. So while you can't hear what's being said over the music, all of the expressions and reactions are simply the cast hanging out together. This really shows that the cast was just as close as the characters they play.

[@chattery]

It really feels like the cast was desperate to get back together. Thankfully, their chemistry never went away.

[@darthmuppet]

I was crying some manful tears when the Enterprise-D made its grand entrance. Also, Terry Matalas did confirm that Shaw will be a major part of STAR TREK LEGACY if it gets greenlit, though he refused to say how he plans to bring him back.

[@chattery]

I'll do anything for more Shaw

[@MattAlgren]

Maybe new Q? Though they did leave his death scene open enough to bring him back as Shaw

[@darthmuppet]

@@MattAlgren That’s one of the theories I like. Another one I like is that Seven creates a version of him for the holodeck to talk to when she needs some “by the book” advice. There’s also the idea of him returning as an “Emergency Engineering Hologram”.

[@DarrinBell]

I liked Shaw enough that I'd even be okay with some throwaway line about Q having resurrected him when he visited Jack, for some contrived reason.

[@ttanza4004]

I think that Terry Matalas did something very special with Season 3 of the show.

[@TJSaw]

I never knew a fictional inanimate object could make grown men cry 🥹 The Enterprise D is more than just a starship. She is home.

[@chattery]

Beautifully put.

[@VenomMTG]

I still cry watching the Enterprise-D bridge scene. Seriously one of the best moments in Star Trek History.

[@fightingfalcon777]

I know what you mean. It hit me so hard specifically because of my connection with TNG. My late grandmother was the one who got me into Star Trek, starting with TNG. She died back in 2014, but the first time I saw that scene, I teared up thinking about how she would have loved seeing the crew together one more time on the Enterprise-D

[@AceYaaya]

It probably has been said, but if you looked close at the saucer section you can see the re entry burns still on the hull

[@Trek001]

You know what's really great about the attention to detail the CGI guys and girls paid...? Look at the forward part of the saucer ventral and dorsal sections - it still bears the damage from impacting the Veridian III complete with friction scorches from the entry path. Also, the bridge dome has a bit of damage visible where it shattered on landing, the forward part of Deck 8 and 9 has crush damage from hitting a large tree, lifepod covers above and to starboard of the portside section of Ten-Forward are split, port impulse engine is dinted on the lower exhaust... Hell, they went to the trouble of adding the models in the briefing lounge

[@chattery]

It amazes me how meticulous the effects artists were. The production of the show as a whole is remarkable. Even though I missed a lot of the finer details whilst watching the show for the first time, I can't help but admire the amount of time and effort that must've been put in.

[@ciaranconlon84]

I get extra emotional watching the Enterprise D come back because of a good friend of mine. He got me into Star Trek when we were young but he passed away from Cancer in his 30s, not long before Star Trek Picard was announced. He idolised Picard (though personality-wise he always reminded me of Worf) and he would have absolutely loved the whole series, but especially this ending. Every time an old character shows up I imagine him totally geeking out and it's a very melancholy feeling.

[@chattery]

That's a lovely sentiment. May your friend rest in peace.

[@michaelpapp5518]

7:57 the Jurati Borg, the Borgati, were not affiliated with the prime universe collective. The Queen Agnes merged with was from an alternate universe. We can consider them a separate faction from the Borg. In season 1, we saw ex-Borg. Not THE Borg. We are seeing them now for the first time this series.

[@DarrinBell]

I'll accept that explanation. I was just happy to see the Borg get what they deserved in the end.

[@chrismann7776]

The D... Amazing The Borg... Great. My boi Q... The trial never ends baby! It had it all and I loved it.

[@JohnPamplin]

As a lifelong Trekkie, I really enjoyed watching your reaction - best I've seen in fact. This was such a perfect season - Terry Matalas should be given full reign and a blank check on anything Trek he wants to do. You did Trekkies proud.

[@NoMoneyG]

Terry brought back the original menacing Borg (what was left of them). There is a line in the holodeck by Shaw when he was going after Picard when he was Locutus doing what he did. I'm paraphrasing but "The real Borg are still out there". Basically dissing the GeBorgi hippy Borg from season 2. Many missed that line, but it's there. Great Reaction!

[@jonathonbartos3061]

Every single member of the TNG crew gave a masterclass in acting in the final episode. A reminder that while the writing played a huge part in why TNG was so good, it wouldn't be half the masterpiece it is without the cast they assembled.

[@michaelpapp5518]

46:35 regarding the trans-warp conduit. My guess is you’re right. The cube didn’t show up until recently. The Changelings in Starfleet may have arranged to for the Jupiter gate built or ignored the Borg’s activity, until the day came for the cube to arrive.

[@Hotaru99]

I believe Majel Barret, before she died, left a bunch of voice recordings and general computer lines with her permission to use them. If they used that to train an AI for the computer, I think she’d be okay with it.

A thought regarding the Borg not being immediately alerted to the retaking of the Titan. I believe the drones on-board the ship were, at that point, purely recievers, and still reliant on technology for outgoing communication.

[@chattery]

Assimiliated Esmar was relaying to the collective though, at least early on.

[@jokerz7936]

Congrats on getting to the end this was a fantastic season and great send off to the TNG crew. There was some poetry with Shaw's death with his life coming full circle. Shaw never got over being chosen to leave when the Borg attacked his ship at Wolf 359 now he got to help others leave when it happened. There is a push, and all involve want to do a series called Star Trek Legacy which would be Seven, Raffi, Jack, and Sydney on Enterprise-G. Personally, I don't mind the Titan being renamed the Enterprise my only reservation is the Titan lineage had its own legacy that kind of feels disrespected. But as for the G not being a new ship it reminds me of Voyage Home where Starfleet gives Kirk and his crew a new Enterprise for saving the world which was a renamed Yorktown vs a new vessel. Overall, a great end for the TNG cast.

[@chattery]

I didn't catch the Shaw thing but, yeah, it makes his death even more fitting. I do kinda like the G being a rechristened ship but I wish the Titan was still the Titan. Would've been nice to see more of the F too.

[@michaelpapp5518]

39:38 I think Riker’s leave of absence regarding Thad’s illness and death slowed his career down immensely.

[@jmarie9997]

Riker always wanted to be in the middle of the action. That's probably why he held off on being a captain, because Captain's were supposed to stay on the ship.

[@chattery]

He'll probably be resisting Admiralty until the day he dies.

[@thedarklord4556]

when I saw the episode 9 and i confirm, it was EPIC and I never cried so much of deepest Trekkie emotions as in this episode the first was when Adm Shelby speaks about Captain Archer and the NX-01 Adventures, the second the death of Capt Shaw with the 7of9 farewell and then the revealing of the NCC 1701-D, it gets me completely when this wonderful Galaxy-Class fly out of the Dock and in the Background is my beloved NX-01 Refit. BTW what i liked was on the Bottom of the Fleet-Diagram the USS Okuda and the USS Drexler, a little honor for the Designers and of course the USS Hikaru Sulu Episode 10 was a little bit weaker in my opinion but it was a decent send off for the TNG crew

[@chattery]

Ep 9 was definitely more emotional and nostalgic but 10 was very satisfying as the end for me.

[@michaelpapp5518]

27:23 look at what ship participated in blowing up Excelsior. It was the USS Hikaru Sulu. Oh, the irony.

[@chattery]

Oof

[@TheMsLourdes]

Been thinking about this awhile. The way the borg got there, was because literally Starfleet was turning a blind eye thanks to the Changelings... Sensors just turned someplace else . Course I am also convinced Shelby was a changeling. The hint is that there is no way Shelby would have signed off on 'fleet formation'. So she ain't dead. The reason the changeling version of her was so surprised and taken out was that they had an agreement with the queen, that was promptly nullified once she got what she wanted... after that, they were expendable and inefficient to keep around.

[@chattery]

Very interesting theory. I think pretty much everything about fleet formation is ridiculous, so the idea that any Starfleet officials would approve it blows my mind. I wouldn't be surprised if Shelby is still alive but I don't know if we'll ever find out.

[@happybkwrm]

The Changelings were either dumb enough to trust her or insane and vengeful enough to not care that the Borg would come after all of them once they had the Federation.

[@xirtall2]

33:22 I got emotional watching the end of this episode. Seeing a new episode of Star Trek featuring the TNG crew on the Enterprise D, with that classic score then watching it fly off to save the galaxy once again... I cried the first time and then again when I rewatched it with my Mum (cause she loves classic Trek). In her words, This season is the first time New Star Trek episodes have FELT like Star Trek

[@chattery]

It was definitely a tear-jerker. As much as I love SNW and Lower Decks, neither of them have made me as giddy as when I saw the TNG crew back together on the bridge of the Enterprise D.

[@Icedmindblow]

I screamed "oh come the f on!" when they left Seven's departure line on a cliffhanger. Matalas got me good there! 🤣

[@chattery]

With any luck, we'll hear it in her own show.

[@jmarie9997]

To be fair, the Borg Queen has been tap-dancing through Jack's mind his entire life. The Red Door held her off until Deanna opened it - and ran off in terror. Also, he did leave. Every other drone was yanked out.

[@chattery]

I wonder why Jack was hearing the Queen's voice as Beverly's his whole life. Maybe just a more convincing means of manipulating him.

[@jmarie9997]

[@happybkwrm]

Deanna was very unprofessional there. But was she EVER a good therapist?

[@michaelpapp5518]

51:24 it was the Janeways, bra. Admiral and Captain Janeway’s Borg virus ruined the collective. Ruined it in a way Picard was terrified of doing. Edit: 52:06 you got it!

[@gregquinn7817]

Whether you liked the season two idea of the alternate borg or not it's apart of the very recent cannon and I think a throw away line of "we have contacted the Jurate borg and they have no insight into what is happening, but we have decided they should stay back to guard the portal given the history of the Borg using time displacement." Could have settled confusion....

[@chattery]

I agree they definitely should have acknowledged it somehow. Crusher's "nobody has seen or heard from the Borg in over a decade" line was a bit on the nose in erasing Season 2.

[@michaelpapp5518]

34:16 I kept my cool right up until I heard the voice of the franchise herself, on the bridge of the D, with the crew. Oh, I was a mess. A soppy sappy mess of a man.

[@crazyal8565]

If you take in Deanna's nepenthe episode from Picard Season 1 and add it to season 3, she actually got a good story Arc, dealing with marriage, loss of a child, guiding soji as she was discovering who/ what she was, ..then the back story of her trying to help Will, with the pain, her arc was just more spaced out that the rest.

[@jceggbert5]

[@chattery]

[@michaelpapp5518]

55:29 Pretty sure having an Endgame style arrival of all previous hero starships was the plan. Then Paramount said “we don’t have an endgame budget.” Which, I mean, given their movie history these past couple of years? Understandable. I think we’re gonna see the Fleet Museum in Lower Decks though. It looks like there are scenes taking place on Voyager in the trailers.

[@chattery]

Yeah I heard the budget held them back from doing quite a few things. The majority of the season used very few sets but somehow it wasn't distracting. I did notice a few reused shots here and there though.

[@Koldeman]

I have thoroughly enjoyed your reaction vids. I felt exactly the same, beat for beat. I must applaud your ability to anticipate where everything is going. There are countless times when, not just in these episodes, but the entire season where you pause to think aloud what you think is going to happen or point out something that needs explanation- only for those exact things to occur in the very next scene. Most YT reaction vids who have that much "yup, I called that one" or "I wonder if **** is going to happen; oh, there it is" are suspect to insincerity about it being a first-time viewing; but with you, there's no doubt. Your feelings & thoughtful commentary are shared by millions of grateful fans. What Nicholas Meyer did to rejuvenate classic Trek, Terry Matalas has done for TNG. As for Q, that's going to be interesting story dynamic if CBS/Paramount give Matalas the green-light to proceed with ST:Legacy. A lot of fans question how he can be there if he died. Like Doc Brown says, "we're not thinking 4th dimensionally." He died, but he's a non-linear being. "Aren't you dead?" "Yes, I will die last year....or maybe the year before, but definitely this century!" Good editing & good comments. I agree, we should hope for a new series in ST:Legacy because there's no way a 4th season of ST:Picard could possibly live up to this. There's no topping it.

[@chattery]

Too bad I couldn't figure out the Borg thing though. Haha. Really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for the support. It's passionate people like yourself who I make my videos for! Here's to Star Trek: Legacy. Also, RIP Paul Reubens

[@ttanza4004]

I really hope that they do indeed make a "Star Trek: Legacy" TV series with Terry Matalas as the Showrunner. If they do then that show is supposed to be about Captain Seven of Nine, Raffi, Jack Crusher, and the Enterprise-G. Supposedly, Liam Shaw would also (somehow) be back for it as well.

[@chattery]

I would greenlight it in a second. Hopefully Paramount execs feel the same way.

[@AJUniverse]

49:49 Majel, knowing that she wasn't going to be around much longer, came in and recorded a ton of extra lines, just anything that they expected she would ever need to say. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of it has already been used in place of actually bringing her in to record, but I'm sure there's still some left. They could easily script around some of it. Also, addressing the different treatment of Titan and Excelsior, Excelsior had also broken Fleet Formation. That's why it was destroyed, because it couldn't be controlled anymore. As long as the Titan can be, the Borg will still hesitate to just throw it out.

I don’t know if you noticed but when the enterprise dropped out of warp you can see different contrast between the saucer and star drive. The star drive section is brighter and you can see the missing port nacelle casing. Then with the saucer you can see the scorch damage from her entry into Viridian 3’s atmosphere. Also the F was in service for a few years I believe then it suffered critical systems failure and had to be retired from service. The shot of the f exiting space dock was the ship just doing a honorary role for federation day.

[@happybkwrm]

My thoughts; Q was dying in the far future, and decided to go back in time to Picard. :)

[@michaelpapp5518]

49:46 while they did pull dialogue from the series, Majel actually had recorded an entire library of content so she could be the computer voice in perpetuity, if Trek wanted. No idea why they decided to cull from shows instead.

I'm pretty sure Starbase One and space dock aren't the same thing. In that shot with all the explosions around Starbase One, I don't recall seeing it explode. Those explosions were probably on the starbase's shield. Space dock is the scaffolding where The Enterprise refit launched from in The Motion Picture. As for Q, I was happy to hear his "linear" line. I'd been saying that since he died in season two. The Q we saw die was a future Q, possibly from the last moments of the universe itself, who'd come back to that point in time to go out with a bang instead of a whimper.

[@chattery]

I was confused by it whilst watching S3. The main starbase at Earth is called Sol Station. The old Starbase One was converted into the Fleet Museum at Athan Prime. I think spacedock and starbase are used interchangeably, I'm not really sure. If I remember correctly, some one has a line where they say "spacedock has fallen" during the finale.

[@michaelpapp5518]

1:19:26 I would watch an entire show about Captain Seven of Nine.

[@kingdave31]

This was just the end the the TNG crew needed to make up for how badly Nemesis handled things. The science geek in me is a little annoyed at the Borg cube hiding in Jupiter's giant red spot, since that's actually a violent storm with insanely high winds that would tear apart anything that tried to park there. Also, Jack has got to be the ultimate nepo baby. He willingly went to the Borg and participated in the death of probably thousands of people, and they just give him a commission? We all criticized Kirk going from Cadet to Captain in Star Trek 09 but at least he spent 3 years at the Academy first. I mean, at least Jack doesn't get an actual useful job. He's "counselor to the Captain" which I guess means that he sits in a chair out of reach of any vital system, and Captain Seven is free to ignore whatever he says.

[@chattery]

Yeah I definitely think the Borg transwarp conduit in Jupiter is a bit nuts but it's fine. Kirk going from cadet to captain in '09 has always driven me up the wall. Jack going from cadet to ensign in a year is still a stretch but much easier to swallow.

On one hand, they let post-Locutus Picard go back to captaining with a lack of mental health care so profound there's an entire episode about how fucked up he still is, so it's nothing new.

It blows my mind how they seem to have no problem moving Starbases around, like the Fleet Museum. You'd think it would be kinda tricky. Maybe they just break them down and then reassemble them elsewhere.

[@michaelpapp5518]

@@chattery I’ll bet starbases and the like are pretty modular. As in, a basic starbase design can fulfill several functions based on interior tech and arrangements. So they have sections of base that can have a deck of personal quarters, science labs, admin offices, docking bays, commerce centers, public community areas, what have you. All can be pulled out and installed like a diorama display in a wall. So the only permanent fixtures on a starbase would be operations, the necessary crew quarters, engineering, official docking bays, things like that. Everything else can be swapped like a coat or shoes. Be used as needed. Ergo, the base is more of a sturdy framework than a complete structure. Probably lots easier to disassemble and move that way. Then you just bring the decks needed to act as Starbase One and you’re good.

Yes, you should consider the time travel shenanigans of Pretendcard Season 2 as wiping out Seasons 1 & 2 and all of Duhscovery and realigning closer to the Canon Timeline. This season gave us what appears to be a Canon Constitution class starship (USS New Jersey) in the Fleet Museum along with direct ties to the Canon movies (Enterprise-A, the Klingon Bird of Prey, Veridian III & Kirk's body, etc.)

Q never did anything but try to help Picard and his crew. He got nothing but flack for it. I do not like how they did not refit the D and name it the G. Anyway, I will accept it for what it is. I would love a Star Trek: Legacy.

[@chattery]

Refitting the D would have been interesting. Personally, I would rather a totally new design for the G. Tbh I wasn't expecting to see a new Enterprise after the F.

50:44 my understanding is Data’s got a humanoid body with a computer brain. Could be he’s still got faster reflexes than standardly created people. Don’t think there’s strength or durability.

[@chattery]

So do you think he has an expiration date like Picard then?

[@michaelpapp5518]

@@chattery no. I think he’s gonna last longer. Maybe not as long lived as a regular android. However, I don’t think he’s only gonna get 20-40 more years as a human before dying of old age. I hope not, anyway.

[@michaelpapp5518]

1:01:13 I would watch an entire show about this new Data.

[@michaelpapp5518]

1:15:26 I would watch an entire TV show about Worf

[@tjjordan4207]

I was a little against the Borg being involved in this season but overtime I’ve come to accept it and realize that they are the biggest enemy that the TNG crew has ever faced. They need to be involved, especially for Picard. I’ve never seen the other two seasons, mainly because I knew something wasn’t right. So I never saw how they ruined the alternate timeline Borg in season 2, which allowed for me not to feel like the true Borg here were overused. Overall, this is a great conclusion for the TNG crew. The original series crew got theirs in Undiscovered Country and now TNG gets there the final season of Picard (which I just refer to as Star Trek: Legacy). I’ll definitely be leaving the franchise with this final entry. This is about as good of a finale as we are ever going to get out of modern-day Star Trek.

[@saahir18]

I hated seeing Jack on the new Enterprise at the end. He really doesn’t deserve to serve on that ship. Nepotism in Starfleet is probably crazy lol.

[@chattery]

Yeah that's kinda weird. Must be nice having two admirals for parents.

[@jmarie9997]

Seven probably requested him so she could help him and watch over him. She was assimilated as a child, he had the Borg inside him since he was a baby. Also, a lot of the senior officers were killed. She would have her pick.

[@23GreyFox]

1:19:25 I think he wanted to show his inner Kirk.

[@michaelpapp5518]

The Q we saw at the end is younger than the one who died last season.

[@chattery]

How do you know this?

[@michaelpapp5518]

@@chattery if you listen, Q tells Jack he was hoping the next generation wouldn’t think so linearly. Meaning this Q or season 2’s was out of linear time. My guess is it was season 2’s. That Q was dying. So he came back in time to spend his last days with his favorite human ever. “Current” Q feels that other Q’s from such an impossibly far flung future, it’s basically forever, so why worry?

[@DimitriYar]

I think you have to watch Star Trek Voyager Season 7 Endgame 1&2 and TNG All Good Tking 1&2 as hint !

[@Temeraire101]

For me the first season ended up being a real let down as it didn't really seem to go anywhere storywise. And were the mysterious baddies ever identified? From what I remember the 2nd season was a bit better. The 3rd season was fantastic.

[@chattery]

The first season villians, I think, were the sub sect of the Tal Shiar. I can't remember what they were called, but they were trying to contact some all powerful race that was gonna kill every species in the galaxy for creating synthetic life.

[@tteros5998]

Ah man, been loving your content lately - I'm 38 and was in tears watching this scene. This season fixed so much of what hurt my soul about how the movies left the Enterprise crew. I don't even care if it's pure nostalgia - as far as I'm concerned, it's nostalgia done right. Great reaction videos man - you're well-informed, love Star Trek and it's a joy that you're willing to share how emotionally invested you are in this universe. You're an intelligent (and emotionally in-touch) young man and just wanted to reaffirm that. Been loving your Lower Decks content too, keep it up - I'd almost love to hear you discuss Star Trek with other content-creators, you clearly have a lot of meaningful opinions to share. Keep it up buddy :)

[@CaptShriver]

My three heroes in this order. Jesus Christ, George s. Patton, and Terry matalis for saving Star Trek

[@chattery]

Haha excellent!

[@CaptShriver]

@@chattery it's so true though if you think about it if you're Christian.. Jesus Christ died to save my soul. General George s Patton, if it weren't for him Hitler would have conquered Europe. Terry Metalis has given us hope for a resurrection of great Star Trek as long as it's his show and and he stays the showrunner

[@michaelpapp5518]

29:15 Star Trek’s been ruined forever unless we get Star Trek Legacy: The Search for Shaw.

[@TimelyAbyss]

No matter how many times I watch it I’m still not a fan of the choice to rename the Titan. I feel like the scene would have played better if the ship had been re-named USS Picard.

[@chattery]

I don't really like it either. It should have stayed the Titan.

[@SandMan_86]

I'm plumping for Star Trek: The Third Generation. Hopefully they can jettison anything that Kurtzman is showrunner for...awful producer.

[@chattery]

Yeah I'm not a big Kurtzman fan myself.

[@jayburn00]

I disliked most of the Picard show (liked some parts of season 1), but i did enjoy the final season.

[@jeffreymiller6847]

Seven should say Assimilate to Warp!!!

[@poil8351]

Season 3 was almost perfect a few minor quibbles and a pitty they wasted poor ro. It was a very good finale. But one thing isn't picard meant to be some sort of andrioid, synthetic being now from season 1. I think they retconned that whole nonsense. Actually they pretty much retconned most of season 1.

[@chattery]

I wouldn't necessarily say they wasted Ro. More of her would've been nice for sure, but I think they provided a very fitting and efficient end for her character.

[@kawipsycho1448]

trash too much talking

[@chattery]

Go watch the episode on its own if you don't want to hear commentary on it.
