wow! i have to wait until the Downtown Library here in Eugene Oregon has season 3
Errrrr.... Has anyone noticed what was written by @ThePopcast above in the video information? What do they mean by "As the series picks up momentum after a couple of mediocre episodes"... ?
@@DefiantMacho Yeah that's stupid. That guy is fired! Thank you Defiant :)
I see you corrected it.
Why kill Shaw? It didn't make sense!
I absolutely loved the episode. A massive love letter to TNG fans and gripping storytelling. Of course I cried when I heard Majel Barrett's voice. Just couldn't hold back the tears any longer. Terry Matalas is my new hero.
The moment I saw the old enterprise I was immediately a 10 year old kid again and fascinated by this awesome show, great job and best episode by far
Me too
It was amazing seeing Enterprise D returning. I felt like a kid again seeing it for the first time all over.
Losing Shaw was very sad, but there is plenty of great material that would make another series as long as Terry is in charge of it. He gets Star Trek better than anyone.
Losing Shaw and he handing over Titan to 7 and calling her 7 of 9 brought tears to my eyes - all very emotional. I think 7 will play a role in bringing down the Borg assault along with Jack in this last episode, but the Borg will remain, likely for future ST series, hopefully one revolving around 7 of 9 commanding a ship and her adventures. And/or ST Legacy.
7 or to inject him with nanaprobes an save shaw
Maybe! A quick count and it's interesting that we've seven TNG crew on Enterprise-D now, add to that 7 & Raffi, and we've 9 in total (after Shaw is gone)... 7 of 9!
I'm sure he'll get better in case they want to do a show with him.Or do a prequel mini-series, see him taking over the Titan from Riker.
Do you really think so? I mean, he's obviously a fan who loves the show but 'gets it better than anyone'? I have to disagree. There's a ton of surface-level fan satisfaction but the core of Trek is still missing in my opinion.
The word is in; my friends who've seen this, not a single one were able to get through it without crying tears of joy and wonder. Terry achieved something no one thought possible. It's a gift to us all.
S3 has been a direct sequel to Best Of Both Worlds, and I love it. Some of the best trek I've ever seen.
And a sequel to first contact
This season has truly been something special. I'm not generally a sentimental or emotional person. In fact I've often jokingly been accused of secretly being Vulcan. And yet season 3 of Picard made this 46yo man cry--more than once. Not since Babylon 5 has the combination of the writing, the performances, and the soundtrack pulled me in so deeply that even knowing this is just fiction, I was induced to care enough about the characters and what they experienced that it made me cry.
Though I think part of why it affected me as much as it did is because I lost my mother to aggressive brain cancer 5 months ago and as I watched this season, I kept thinking how much she would have enjoyed it. My love of reading, science fiction, and fantasy came from her. When TNG first aired, it was must-see TV in our house and the whole family would watch it together. This season brought me right back there. I had written off Trek after the last season and so, in conclusion, I have to thank RMB and the Popcast guys for explaining why I should give this season a chance, and Terry Matalas and his team for making it.
Floating skull said "we must have the boy" means something different, than the most people think. He is not required for the initial take over. He brings the danger to the plan, he could sabotage everything. "we must have him" to take him out of equation, but he is to valuable to lose him. Do you remember the Voyager episode with the Advanced Borg Drone 'One'? Similar story. Jack's existence wasn't planed. His uniqueness is an advantage for each side.
I love the small scenes. It's great you speak of the escape to the shuttle, Riker saying they'd be taken over, and Data responding: "Shuttles don't connect to the new system. They're autonomous". When Seven said: "The Robot is Right. It's the only way." I totally cracked up. Seven says it to Riker totally ignoring that Data's offended and Georgi's shocked. It's exactly what Seven would say, or to use an oxymoron, Seven's the master of pointedly blunt statements. Seven never met Data, including this most human version. Being ex-Borg means she views biology and technology differently.
It's awesome to witness this franchise kept together with so much care.
It became one of my favorite Trek episodes ever. I've wanted badly to see the E, but I hadn't realized how badly I needed to see the Enterprise D.
Terry Matalas and crew thank you so much for bringing such an Awesome episode. I also shed a tear 😢
I tip my cap to Terry and his team..Even though it is only for 10 episodes we got the real Star Trek...Brought a lump in my throat seeing the D slowly fly out of the space dock..The young and strong get corrupted and it is up to the older generation to make everything right...
I cried the last 10 min...and as i read, many others. We need that..was it so difficult? no. But Terry gave it to us. Someone needed to. Thank you Terry to give us a moment of history in the Star Trek franchise!❤
Just imagine all the people that have used the transporter, below the age of 25 turning on their parents on all the federation planets. This last episode will be fantastic. When Jack takes care of the queen. Just a guess. Or, if you prefer, Time Will Tell.
Data showing Picard sympathy was two fold powerful. Remember Data lost his child too. The pain of her loss he can now experience & share with Picard.
Episode 9 is particularly intense. Very well-thought out plot lines that come together. Very sad about Ro (episode 5) Shaw and Shelby in episode 9, but great for the story line. And the musical score, especially during the Enterprise-D scenes, is absolutely magnificent.
12:10 The irony of the Hikaru Sulu destroying the Excelsior.
That is hilarious! Great catch
@@ThePopcast thanks!
Basically similar to the actor destroying his legacy on twitter with his woke utterings.
@@maximumhate666 yeah. Sure. George Takai’s legacy is ruined because he’s a humanist. You know, like everyone in Starfleet. The Federation is entirely woke. I don’t know why you even like the franchise if you’re against representation and equality. Those are hallmarks of Gene’s vision for the future. Attitudes like yours belong in the past.
@Michael Papp as a reminder, by definition, inclusion includes views with which you disagree. Which is why i can enjoy Trek with all views included. Even those with which i disagree.
That's Trek.
Jack is a Trojan Horse and the borg took him in hook line and sinker. I think he has a powerful mind thanks to his mother.
I agree. They will think he is totally assimilated, but he is not. The song connecting him to Beverly will continue in his mind. I think Deanna will pick up on this somehow. He will overcome whatever the Borg has done to him.
That bridge reunion scene was an awesome couple of minutes that really brought back the TNG feeling for real. More bright, more nostalgic than we have been treated for many decades.
“Did your heart soar when you saw the D?” Reminds me of my wedding vows. 😂
The Music score, the effects, the storyline, the nostalgia, the humour, the action, the plot - Disney (star wars)- Look and learn!!! this is a way to pay homage to both the original cast and credit the fans!!
I can't stress enough how many times in this season I have both filled up with tears and at the same time jumped up in the air with pure enthusiasm. I can't fault it - Every episode has had me on the edge of my seat wanting more each week - No filler episodes. Also the sheer attention to detail - I definitely feel that everyone who worked on this season, did so with the shared love of TNG.
Wow I felt so emotional seeing that crew back on that bridge. Thank you Terry for this moment.
Losing Captain Shaw was the hardest part of the season…we need him back.
Shaw should have his own series
@@Lupus_01 I have a feeling he will.
They faked us out TWICE before they pulled the rug😭
He WAS kind of a tool. Funny, but poor judgment and lack of respect at every step.
I hated Shaw on the beginning but after hearing him about Wolf 359 he started growing on me
You guys create the best Picard Reviews on YouTUbe!!!
Thank you Eternal!
I remember watching Picard S1 and being quite disappointed, I turned the show off. Finding The Popcast and watching all of the videos of S1 and S2 reinvigorated me to give it another chance. I'm glad I did, S3 has been spectacular and I've been eager to watch each new episode but not wanting to at the same time knowing this is the end of the TNG crew. Seeing them all back together brings back such fond memories. Thanks The Popcast for bringing me back to the light!
Sorry in advance, but if your line, "Did your heart soar when you saw the D?" was an accident, it sure was a happy one!
Honestly, all 3 seasons of Picard have really touched my heart, and I've appreciated the awesome commentary you provide!
Seeing the Enterprise D and the crew on the bridge made me tear up. 10 episodes isn't enough.
I know. They finally got the series they should have had all along, and it's almost over. The first two seasons are like the last jedi for me. I just can't. They made a course correction during this third season, though, and it's paying off!
No one is ever truely dead in ST - fingers crossed for Shaws return
Lt Shax on Lower Decks
Best episode yet!!! So many good feelings!!! But so sad to lose Captain Shaw 😢 he is the best new character to come out of nu trek. RIP Captain Shaw.
... #BRINGBACKCAPTAINSHAW
Incredible episode, Incredible season. One more time for the crew together. Let's go!!
Awesome episode! I cried for Captain Shaw (A love/hate relationship) and was transported back to my high school years seeing the D!! Beautifully done!!!
Feedback: Regarding the scene on the Enterprise D bridge. All I have to say is this. This episode is the very first time the end caught me by surprise. I was entirely immersed in that moment. Truly, thank you.
Am I the only person who thinks we need Wesley to show up, even if only briefly, to reassure and comfort his mother? She's carrying a lot of baggage over him, and losing Jack makes it even worse.
S3, E9 was like coming home.... an absolute joy!
I will have to admit that was the best display of the Enterprise D that gave me feelings for the ship
I was most impressed with the fact that the team remembered that the Ent D had unique engine and warp sound effects.
Thanks Terry!
Just finished watching the episode again...Seeing the lights go on and the Enterprise D was shown made me think of what i would say if I were Picard...Now that the final member of the original crew the Enterprise D is here a quote from Nemesis Fits...."LET'S GO TO WORK"
Another excellent script and narration. The one nitpick is that where as last week's was wordperfect, the first pronunciation of data in this one was incorrect. But it was fine for the rest of it. Thanks again for the video and for all of your work.
Yea I used the wrong take and didn't catch it till it was up 😬 thanks for everything!
The Enterprise is one of the main characters of Star Trek. Bringing back 1701D was brilliant. It's just as important to the show as the rest of the TNG cast. I've been a fan since September 1966 when TOS first aired on NBC. I've seem them all. Picard S3 is perhaps the best Trek ever or certainly close to it. Matalas saved the franchise.
😢so sad. So happy. So sad! I’m 67 years old…watching since I was a kid….gonna miss the gang!
Enterprise D brought tears in my eyes❤
Those fireworks could have been 21st century drones at the scales they were shown
( I am from Honduras and living in Honduras...the No.1 Star Trek Honduran fan): My wife who is Filipina/Canadian says it is the best episode from Picard! It is so great to see the STNG back to Enterprise D....but is Wesley still traveling?
Dah-ta? Oh, my. I guess Pulaski gets two shout-outs this episode. 😂
I had the exact same reaction thinking one was his name and one was not
LMAO... Excellent call back Jimmy!
I tremendously appreciate and thankful to Matalas for this season, He was certainly the right man to go back and recreate the right Trek that we loved. But I'm not at all sure he's the right man to lead the next series. Trek should move forward. As Gene Roddenberry wanted to distance the new show from TOS and demanded everyone not to go back and use stuff from it (i.e. see what Okuda says this week on the ready room) We now need someone who can create the next next generation, and take Trek into a bold new unexplored future!
I loved every minute of it. Especially watching my favorite beloved Enterprise D appear back on screen and be fully operational. It actually has made me start working on a 1:1400 scale lit version of her. The sad part is that the show only has one more episode. I don't want it to end. I'm so for Star Trek Legacy! I sure would raise a glass to Captain Shaw. As a youtuber has already pointed out. he's the, "People's Captain".
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!! ❤ 🖖 ✌️
I want more Jordie and Data.. Best Duo Ever! I was in tears.
Superb episode! Nearly all was revealed. Loved how the Borg threat came about this time, it almost seems Romulan like🤔 quite devious😏 loving it... but sad only 1 episode to go. We really need ST Legacy with 7 as Captain, and to find out what in the hell Worf did to Enterprise E😂
When they said about the Ships all being linked is when I realized an older Enterprise
Was gonna make an entrance
I thought it would be the Enterprise A or the C
Because the C hadn't had much run time on the Series
to use an old wrestling analogy, I keep waiting for the show to turn heel when we least expect it and beat us over the head with a steel chair as the crowd boos. Kinda like, sending in the Enterprise on a suicide mission against impossible odds where they "win" but everyone dies kinda thing. I doubt thatll happen but that's the level of trust I have for Paramount and Hollywood I have these days.
Wow this has a to be the best episode of Picard thus far. My heart skipped a beat seeing the old Enterprise
What happened to the Borg Queen from Season 2?
Beverly says the Borg haven't been active in decades?
Continuity?
I think I have something figured out. It comes from Riker’s comment in episode 9 when he asks Jordie to squeeze all he can out of those “OLD” Enterprise-D shields, and also that it’s weird that Jordie just happen to have torpedoes laying around to load. (Why would a fleet museum have torpedos laying about?)
Answer:
I bet Jordie updated the Enterprise D with the enhanced “armored” shields and left over Quantum torpedoes from Voyager, which were future tech supplied by time traveling Admiral Janeway!
This will give Picard and Enterprise D superior technology to any other ship in the fleet and even the Borg!
I doubt it, he wouldn't really have any reason to upgrade it to a modern warship. I've got a feeling that as the D shouldn't be able to do it alone, we're going to get some more history coming in to help. I mean we've had a kirk tease, his ship is there.....
The fleet museum gives any number of possible stories to come in and help
Why are so many people hoping for a Q return? Have you been watching this group onscreen working and fighting together for the last nine episodes? A magical finger snap from Q to end the problems would be a slap in the face to the Magnificent 7 and their Titan cohorts. They will do what they do best -'what people love about the show--they will science a way to reverse the transporter zombie effect. Then they will finesse and fight to implement that reversal. That is Star Trek the way it should be.
The Borg captured and almost assimilated DATA. Sooooo, will DATA be pivotal in Episode 10 ( Episode 11 maybe? ).
glad they are back on 1701-D because there's actually lights on that ship lol now they won't be in darkness every single shot, I guess they don't believe in having ships well lit anymore 🤣
Then there are the recent movies where they tried to put as many bright lights as possible on the enterprise!
Was it me or did the fleet formation look like a giant DNA strand when it was assimilated?
This was my least favorite episode due to the loss of Shaw and yet another return of the Borg. But I enjoyed this review. Great job Popcast! I’ll be up at 3am on Thursday morning (East Coast) to see the conclusion. I hope it’s fantastic. I want to thank Terry Matalas for acknowledging that they went back to the "Borg Well" but he also explained in great detail why the team felt the major villain had to be the Borg. I respect the decision even though I did not agree with it
Thank you Anthony!
I liked Shaw and hoped he would be an addition to Star Trek: Legacies. The addition of 1701D was a surprise but makes sense too.
Tell Terry they forgot to turn on the Enterprise D impulse engines on the saucer section!
Loved episode 9. I need more videos on this topic. We need Legacy!
⚡⚡Awesome⚡⚡
I don't get emotional over tv or films, unless a dog dies. But when those hangers doors opened it was like being 10 years old again and seeing the presents under the tree on Christmas morning, then when we hit the bridge, not going lie this 41 year old cried 😂
Actually, Terry did tease the "carpet" reference, months ago in some obscure podcast/interview. He was asked for one spoiler he felt he could give and he said "Carpet." Now we know what he meant.
Data?
Yeah, not a normal mistake for me. It was a late night. I'll give myself the proper lashings :)
They lose credibility with their audience if they can't say his name right, means they don't watch the show, just a guy reading a script or a bot...thumbs down
It's Star Trek. You never actually lose anyone. You just wait for some plot twist to bring them back.
I hope it is longer than 55 min , hope we get 2 hrs cause imax theaters may be playing this episode 9 an 10 in imax would be killa
`"Datta" won the battle over Lore?` - Datta? What's the difference? "My name is Data. One is my name, the other is not."
Captain. Andor. Shaw.
I was kind of bummed that Shaw bit the dust. I'd like to have maybe had a show with Shaw and seven working on their chemistry and their newfound respect that they started to grow for each other. I think there could have been a lot of things done between those characters. As far as seeing the enterprise d, all I could do was smile from ear to ear. Which says a lot because when I first saw the enterprise d in the beginning, I wasn't a big fan of it. But it definitely grew on me.
Do we want to guess who buys the farm in the finale? I say it’s Picard to save his son.
I could listen to this guy read the phone book.
Errrrr.... Has anyone noticed what was written by @ThePopcast above in the video information? What do they mean by "As the series picks up momentum after a couple of mediocre episodes"... ?
It was very moving to feel transported back to the time of TNG with the entire crew back on the bridge. Also a collective if you look at it that way. As for Jack, I assume the good in him will be the key to infiltrating the Borg Queen's mind and turning the tide. Shaw? Well, since Trip didn't really die on Enterprise but only switched to Section 31, which we unfortunately only read about in the books due to the lack of Season 5, maybe Mr. Matalas can figure something out. .🌻
When we saw the Borg cube behind the door, i thought, "no not again the Borg". The first 8 episodes were good, and now they fuck it all up again with the Borg. But boy, did they turn it around and gave us an amazing never from current Star Trek expected story... I now hope they don't fuck it all up in the last episode...
Janeway comes in in a blaze of glory going out in style taking the Borg queen with her once and for all
This is the finest season of Star Trek ever.
The fireworks are antimatter
“Antimatter Fireworks” were name dropped in Voyager, crewmen in alternate futures reminiscing about the homecoming celebration
Did anyone else notice that when Riker says to Picard on the bridge, "Wherever you go...we go" and they cut to everyone's individual acknowledgement...EXCEPT GEORDI's?? Hmmmmm... Could it be a hint that he doesn't make it through Ep.10?
How wonderful the TNG crew continue into the Future ... No words ... And PARAMOUNT, LEGACY Please Please Please 😇💞💌
One rhing I need help with understanding:
Maybe I missed it somewhere between S2 ans S3 but Prof Agnes was the Borg queen there and she was applying to be part of the federation.
So what happened to Agnes and how come it's the evil borg Queen again (I actually love she's formed by the actress though,👍😀)
Thanks for helping me understand 🥰
Where is Jurati in all of this? Isn't she the new Borg queen? If so why doesn't she stop this?
Also 0:50 ruclips.net/video/WssBJeExiOM/видео.html
So, we just throw First Contact and Jurati out the window? I am curious to see who the borg queen is. I'm wondering how they can finish this up in one episode, it will it be an extra long episode? Who was the ghost hand??? Why is the borg visions in red? I dont buy it's from the flowers.bit, but that might be what they decided in in production -who knows?
Great video as always, thanks guys!!!
I want more Shaw!! Stashwick had a great arc this season. RIP, Liam Shaw.
I was upset to see Captain Shaw died. I was hoping for a spin off show, as most had whispered I. e. Worf and Raffie etc, but I was hoping for a TITAN spin off show. One where Shaw was Captain Seven was first officer Sydney Laforge etc. But Jack Crusher joins Starfleet and became an Ensign on the TITAN (what a beautiful ship) and we would see cameos from other past crew members and cast like (if they survive) Riker, Troi, Geordie, Data+, Worf, Kern, Jake Sysco, Quark, Nog, Harry Kim, Belona Tom, Chikota, Tuvok, Admiral Janeway. and current crew members, who seem unique and interesting.
#TerryTrek (100%)
But maybe that was wishful thinking?
I want to see Benjamin Sisko back, Terry if your listening
It was such a sad and scary episode.
All I can say is memories memories
I guess this must be "Original Borg" I guess? Borg from the Delta Quadrant. Since Jack did go through a transwarp conduit to get there. Perhaps this could actually tell more stories regarding the Borg if this is the case. I really wish that we did not get the Borg storyline for a 3rd freaking time, But it is what it is. And yes, Like everyone else...I got emotional seeing Enterprise D. :)
COOL!
In-universe this Bridge would half to be the original Bridge Module used in all 7 seasons of TNG, as in her last canonical appearance she was sporting additional workstations and several cosmetic alterations, which would suggest the Enterprise-D had received some upgrades and refits between "All Good Things" and Generations; meaning it was a new bridge module in that film that hopelessly got wrecked. It's not out of the realm of possibility that in years that followed Geordi tracked down the original bridge as he was working on restoring this Grand Lady.
It was the best of episodes (the D), it was the worst of episodes (Shaw).
Wait, did you call him "DAta" right at the beginning??
Holy Cow I did! Great catch. And Yeah, not normal for me. That's actually a pet peeve.
This really threw me off as well
This is the TREK we want NO more Kelvin timeline!
this season has proved to me how much i miss REAL Star Trek PLEASE do Star Trek Legacy
Only thing better then seeing the NCC-1701 D again was seeing Shelby take a double tap to the chest. Never liked her. Team Riker!
The ED is back she is so beautifull anf with Picard at the helm the Borg are screwed.
