310: '''The Last Generation''' ''[[2023]] [[April 20]]'' | 310: '''The Last Generation''' ''[[2023]] [[April 20]]'' | ||
(First watched 2023-04-20) I don't think any series finale will top ''All Good Things...'' for me, but Picard's is satisfying. | |||
Titan becoming the Enterprise-G... it's almost TOO saccharine that what's left of Riker's old ship has transformed into the next of the Enterprise name. But hey. And they're really running through that alphabet. [[Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3|Enterprise]] supposed the Enterprise-J was a 26th century ship, but at this rate they'll get to it by 2430. I can't help but think the renaming hurts the spinoff chances any time soon, though. I presume [[Terry Matalas]]'s idea for the ''Star Trek: Legacy'' show would be to continue the adventures of the characters on the Enterprise-G. But the Star Trek brand as is right now seems to be going for maximum diversity, so I don't know that they want to have two Enterprise-based ship shows in different centuries at the same time, and Strange New Worlds surely has several more years left in it. | |||
Worf continues to have the best lines, with every other thing he says competing for funniest line of the season. "Swords are fun." | |||
The "TNG ending" part being overhead poker shot, another direct callback to the TNG finale. | |||
Non-Starfleet types sure manage to get some big roles fast. Seven went from not being in Starfleet at all to Commander after a shortened training given her prior experience, and didn't spend much time in that rank before being promoted to Captain. Then there's Jack, who went from no interest in Starfleet at all to a posted ensign within a year--and even an ensign with a special advisory role to the captain. | |||
And surprise-surprise guest voice [[Walter Koenig]] as Anton Chekov, presumably Pavel's son based on his speech. | |||
I previously mentioned the Borg in the 90s were overconfident. I guess that comes back in a big way in this episode, because considering how much VICTORY was going on a few planets over, they really gave the Enterprise-D and crew a wide open shot. Letting them into the cube. Letting Worf and Riker roam around until they found the information they needed about the WHAT TO BLOW UP device. The only serious resistance was firepower Beverly was able to outdo and a tricky path they weren't sure even Data could fly through. BUT like Data back from the dead again I guess it makes sense that the Borg would be needed for a proper TNG reunion, since Best of Both Worlds and First Contact are extremely well-known high points. And for it not to be a hell of a bummer of a sendoff, it had to be something these old folks could survive. | |||
One thing that wasn't given enough attention, especially considering it's his series... what about Picard? We seem to know less about his future at the end of the season than the beginning. At the beginning he was ready to move to another planet with his new girlfriend. Now he's got an adult son and is on good terms with the baby mama he didn't know was a baby mama, but what does that mean for him? Is he still going away with Laris? Did the prospect of having a seventh(?) chance with Beverly make him reconsider? Looking at an article where they asked this to Matalas, it seems even he didn't have it firmly in mind and wanted to leave it open. | |||
