[@ZNINJA-il2ky]

Listening to the final dialogue between Picard, Riker, and Geordi makes you realize that they are not just speaking in character, but as actual actors who started off the TNG series together and made it be a positive part of their lives and how with the Enterprise D being the absolute symbol for the series, bringing the cast back together wouldn't be complete without the Enterprise D being revived for the final showdown against the Borg. The series started with the 'passing of the torch' by Adm. Leonard "Bones" McCoy of the TOS series on the Enterprise D with the phrase "It's a good ship, and she's got the right name. You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home", this proudly coincides with the rechristening of the USS Titan A to the USS Enterprise G as the 'torch passing' with Geordi leaving the Enterprise D Bridge with "Yes, sir. After all, she's always taken good care of us." which shall forever - in the words of Picard in the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" - 'Let's make sure that history never forgets the name - Enterprise'.

[@freddifan73]

Alot of the ending was. The scene in the bar, once they got the scripted stuff out of the way, was just a group of old frends playing cards and remembering what made TNG such an amazing series. Terry Matalas got the chance to direct and when they were filming the scene he just let the camera run for 45 minutes to catch everything. I think we can all hope that the full 45 minutes makes it into the DVD/BluRay release in the special features (along with alot of the behind the scenes footage from the season)

What we saw here was the epitome of Star Trek. No political correctness, no political statements. Imagination, vision, dreams, and power beyond imagination. To me, this is the core of Star Trek.

[@TheBaconWagoneer]

@@ericburow6436 If you think what you said there defines 'Star Trek', then you've never been an actual Trekker 🤔: 'Star Trek' ALWAYS embodied what people like you call "wokeness"... was ALWAYS political... and was ALWAYS trying to get people to see beyond their own narrow prejudices - prejudices you just openly flaunted TOS took on racism from the very first episode by putting black / Asian people front and center when POC actors were used as comedy relief, or to reinforce White America's privilege by making them subservient / inferior (and 'Star Trek' had the first-ever, on-TV interracial kiss)... it took on gender bias by putting a woman as first officer in the original pilot... protested the Vietnam War... and the list just goes on and on and on TNG took on all the societal remnants from the above categories, and then threw in things like AIDS... polyamory... a few swings at gender identity... pontificated on age discrimination... and was one of the first shows to acknowledge persons from the LGBTQ2+ community were actual human beings (*gasp!*) But, hey, I guess you just watched for the pew-pew-pew 🙄

[@ericburow6436]

@@TheBaconWagoneer, that's where you're mistaken. I saw all that in the original series and so on. I know that Star Trek being on was interconnected with the civil rights movements, the Vietnam War protests, and all that. Why do you think Mae Jemison got on a TNG episode? And you're forgetting something about DS9. Bashir was played by an actor who was British and from the Sudan, and there was prejudice towards Sudan before anyone was talking about it. What I was referring to was this. Different backgrounds, different races, and so forth working together, despite the differences without throwing it in everyone's faces.

Between playing Nurse Chapel, being absolutely amazing as Lwaxana Troi, and being the voice of the various ship and starbase computers throughout alot of the franchise, it was only fitting to have her voice for the Enterprise-D's computer, as opposed to whatever that century's computer voice was. As I said above, Terry Matalas did an amazing job on the final season, and he had a blast directing the final episode.There's a behind the scenes from the episode, including actually sitting in on the recording session for the score, and he said he literally got goosebumps listening to them tying the music from other parts of the franchise, including Next Generation and the various movies, both the original cast movies and Next Generation movies, into the score written specifically for Picard

And now look at the state Lucasfilm and Disney are in because of it. Terry Matalas was able to get this season made in his way because the other EP's in S1 and S2 failed to sell their vision of modern Trek to the audience, many stayed away in droves because the storylines and the characters were not relatable to a majority and the so called "new audience" never really materialized if the streaming numbers for ST Discovery and the first two seasons of Picard are anything to go by. I think Viacom/CBS realized they had a franchise which was sinking just like Star Wars and they knew they had very little time to save it. Looking at the renewed interest generated by Season 3 the execs now know not to follow the path Lucasfilm/Disney have carved for themselves towards oblivion.

"Let's make sure history never forgets the name...Enterprise." - Captain Jean Luc Picard (TNG: Yesterday's Enterprise)

[@acmenipponair]

Well, I understand the enjoyment of Data. He was NEVER able to do such stuff with the D beforehand, even though he knew the ship is capable of it, because if he would have done that, some guy at Ten forward would have sent a complaint letter to Picard that his ragdacino spilled over.

We Star Wars fans can only imagine what a true reunion of the classic heroes would have been. But Disney denied us that. Shame Congratulations to all Trekkies. This was done the way fans wanted it and needed it.

It's refreshing to see the powers that be listen and course-correct. The first two seasons of Picard were abysmal and completely out of character with what the fans wanted. Good for them for wising up for season three and casting aside the nonsense.

[@Sovereign01]

Instead it was Trek that did a Wars-style battle inside a station 😁

Enterprise D in Generations: "mom come pick me up in scared." Enterpise D in TNG: "You wouldn't like me when im angry." Enterprise D in Picard: *DOOM music intensifies*

When the nostalgia is earned through the writing

[@andreasb3347]

man for me this looks so unrealistic compared to the show in the 80s and 90s. here it looks like computer generated but back then not. back then much better.

[@StonyDilithium]

@@andreasb3347 There is something to be said for practical models. However, you can't get that level of detail where you can see all of the rooms as it passes. This was pretty solid for me.

[@ozymandias1758]

Love the practical models, they project dimension and depth of field, physicality in a way that a bunch of flat pixels cant match. The colors and lighting effects in this episode were gorgeous though.

I could watch all star trek series in this frame rate and quality. It gives it a more realistic look.

I don't care if its fan service. This entire thing brought back a rush of memories of watching TNG with my Dad. The pure emotions. Thank you for posting. I cannot watch it enough.

[@thewizard8032]

It's not fan made. It's on paramount +

[@HawkGTboy]

@@thewizard8032 lol that’s not what “fan service” means.

Only took 35 years to finally see the power of a Galaxy Class starshiip let loose. 😀

[@apreviousseagle836]

We did kind of see it in DS9, but even then not to this glorious detail.

[@vasiliospantazopoulos9574]

@@apreviousseagle836 Believe it or not, I could not get into DS9. After Picard, and talking to my brother, I have started watching DS9, from the start. On episode 8 now. So, as my brother said, I'll see how it gets better.

[@apreviousseagle836]

@@vasiliospantazopoulos9574 DS9 won't really get better until S4, but there are some good eps here and there before that.

I’m 34 and watching this I felt like a kid again yelling “yea,go!” At the screen. This was a fantastic send off.
