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.
