Very emotional. Season 3 was a worthy ending of TNG after the weak first two seasons. Seeing the 1701 D and hearing the iconic soundtrack gave me goosebumps. This show literaly changed my life. Back then in my early teenage years I was about to get on a wrong path, my grades in school went to shit, I didn't care for anything. This show showed me the beauty of science, astronomy and philosophy. Years later I went to university. TNG is a major reason to get me back on track.

[@jimhughes848]

TNG did something for me, too, at that point in my life. Hard to put into words. But seeing that bridge come back to life was pretty powerful.

[@DakuMaverick]

My aunt got me into Star Trek as was a huge Trekkie. She would let me stay up way past my bedtime to watch TNG when she babysat me. Unfortunately she passed a week before this episode aired. Seeing the Enterprise D resurrected broke me. In a way it was like she reach down from heaven for one last ride as the our Beloved Enterprise D got. ❤

[@krishnav5122]

The fact that Picard asks Geordi the permission, even as an admiral himself, because its Geordi's space dock and ship he's been maintaining, is superb direction and attention to detail of the whole star trek ethics, humility of the crew and how respectful they are to each other.

[@Toren8002]

@1:20 When the horns cut in with the OG theme, nice and low. What a moment.

[@martyanderson3390]

Was so nice to see old beloved friends again. Picard season three definitely earned its place. What a breath of fresh air.

[@Jaymindrew1990]

This scene is high on the scale of 1 to OMG!!! Enterprise-D was just as much a legendary lady as both of Kirk’s Enterprises from years before. And the fact that she goes on to successfully and single-handedly beat down the Borg despite her advanced age says a lot about her greatness.

[@amehak1922]

There was so much nerdgasm overload when I saw this!!

[@pS-sv3pm]

Just finished watching S3. I donno if this scene was more emotional for the viewers, or the cast. What a beautiful tribute, and what a way to send off the show. As much as I want them to continue, this would be a perfect send off.

[@allthingsnerd.4484]

I am not ashamed to admit I cried tears of joyous nostalgia.

[@KS-cb6hf]

I've watched every episode of tng eleventy million times but this still had me bawling like a child, my enterprise, my crew, my salvation. Trek has always got me through my darkest times, it is quite simply the best of us. Sent shivers down my spine when "the fat one" left the docking bay, turned and warped to save the galaxy one last time.

[@FomorViceroy]

I absolutely adore the subtle use of the Generations overture the moment they step on to the bridge.

[@aaronvosburgh5323]

man this scene, the emotions the reunion, the once mighty flagship of the federation coming back from the dead to fight one last battle against the federation's greatest enemy. what a moment that will never die.

[@richardohughes]

I think the best thing was that even though the D was destroyed we all knew what was coming but that didn’t take anything away from this truly beautiful moment, not just in universe but it was beautiful conceived, shot and acted to perfection. I can’t see anything ever topping it.

[@MrBudgetOrientedMan]

All I can say is that Enterprise is not just a ship...It's an emotion and nostalgia mixed with every little good memory we lived on to...

[@trevorgreene5059]

Dang, to see the original senior staff together like that, older and wiser, wow.

[@DemonBlueDays]

Even now ive seen this scene a thousand times or more. Deanna bollocking Worf was just hillarious. Geordi bringing her out of sight to secretly repair and return THE Enterprise (look as much as we could argue all day long, we secretly know this is the Enteprise everyone has thought of for years when just the name is dropped) back to her glory after what was a sucker punch attack to put her down....and it still didnt keep the old girl down. When the lights came up in the bay first time....i was half expecting the D to power up to welcome them home. And given how epic the music and way she powers up near the end im kinda glad she does stay dormant, as if shes only expecting to be shown off.....to later wake up realising shits gotten serious, and is the last functional Enteprise....let alone Federation starship that cant be compromised. Its like the Entperise herself is aware of the danger. And just wants to show off for a few seconds outside the Museum feeling open space on her hull for the first time as a functional ship since Veridian. Before jumping bow first once again into the breach for what i could call outdoing Star Wars at their own fly through sequence 😈. Also...and this is just personal here not a criticism of Terry M's absolutely epic work on Picard...but i honestly thought the season would end with a "ahhhh gotcha!" With Geordi and Riker having Jean Luc think the old girl was being preserved only to have her appear in Spacedock as the "New" Enteprise replacing the F as she was by a year later going to have been completely restored (and secretly updated to 2402 specs) ready for service after saving the Galaxy yet again.

[@TheCleanasyougo]

I’m a grown man of 50 and watching this particular scene makes me feel 16 again and very emotional 🥹

[@rowdyharger2799]

Being a trekkie from its beginning, hard not to tear up

[@richartrod]

She is a thing of beauty. After all the dimly lit starship bridges on this series to accent its darker tone, the bright lights of the resurrected Enterprise-D speak of hope and optimism, just as she did on TNG.

[@ppipowerclass]

The emotions that this scene brought without a ton of dialog was amazing.

[@howardpower]

OMG, they really pulled everything out of the bag! The entire senior staff!! The ships!!!! The Enterprise D!!!!! I would be lying if I say I didn't get emotional. I shed tears. Wow. I was raised watching TNG and all it's variant series after that. Star Trek Picard brought ALL of it back in one massive series!!! Total nostalgia in present day. I hope they keep this legacy going or at least, this timeline. Not the stupid Chris Pine, JJ Abram Star Trek reboot.

[@ladydalida6917]

For me personally, Season 3 of Picard is also the long-awaited and missed real final season No. 8 of TNG. A fitting and honorable conclusion for the grand old lady and her crew. And I hope that Captain Riker finally gets his deserved admiral rank, and Data regains his rank as captain.

[@dolphinsfan3245]

I knew what was coming but seeing her again in all her glory. It got to me, 46 yr old man sobbing.

[@andyb3329]

46 yr old here to, I completely feel you on this. I definitely rewatched this scene for 2 days

[@StsFiveOneLima]

50, here. Same. Watched most of the old episodes on ANALOG TV.

[@EmpyreanFrost]

Terry Matalas....thank you for making me feel like a kid again. Thank you for bringing back my Enterprise crew

[@geomodelrailroader]

The legendary Galaxy Enterprise Class Enterprise D now this is Star Trek. It was a sad day when she blew up on Veridian III but Geordi and Section 31 went back and removed all traces there was a ship or launch pad here and they even recovered Kirk. To return Enterprise to operation USS Syracuse which was damaged in the Dominion Wars was scrapped and its star drive given to the D the Saucer Module which crashed was recovered and repaired and the dome, windows and screens replaced. It is good to have her back thank you for restoring her Geordi this was your ship.

[@RantingBrummie]

It makes a lot sense to me the Syracuse lost it's own saucer during the Dominion War. All Geordi had to do was make sure the docking clamps on the Ds saucer weren't too busted up and, voilà.

[@valenrn8657]

@@RantingBrummie Geordi has to repair Syracuse's engineering section's outer hull e.g. port nacelle, top side warp pylons.

[@Anvilshock]

I don't see 24th-century characters, I see present-day actors recalling, reminiscing, coming together in the spirit of, the best time together they ever had.

[@WildNorWester]

To me, this is the moment the whole gang was back together. The crew, and their ship.

[@adampearlman7658]

This is a moment of Television magic. The entire season of Picard had something that was truly lacking from Star Trek in the last few years... it had heart. So much nostalgia and so many emotions when I saw the Enterprise-D. I knew it was coming, too many hints to not have it show up... but when it did I got emotional. because TNG and the Enterprise-D where the show I truly grew up with.

[@KobayashiBrynhild]

Same. I still tear up watching this scene.

[@Sraye]

"knew it was coming", lol tell that to star wars folks, who never saw that one moment of magical reunion.

[@super_happy_alien509]

This my Ship. There are many like but this one is Mine !!!!!

[@MrThomasCWest]

Also, seeing her on screen again, after her crash on Veridian III, was like seeing the Ecto-1 revealed in the third act (not the initial reveal earlier in the film) of Ghost Busters Afterlife. Then Deanna saying she sensed great joy as the camera pans to Data was like Peter Vekmen asking Gozar, "Hey, Flat-top! Did you miss us?" We all know that was a 4th wall break directed at the fans. Thank you, Terry Matalas for your generous gift to us.

[@clairestark9024]

Feels like waking up from a terrible nightmare to the light.

[@bernhardstolz5813]

43 years old .... for Minutes a Teenager again. Thanks for Season 3.
