This season really gave me the closure I didn’t know I needed. I’m so many ways. I turned 40 in 2023, and realized it had been 30 years since I was this excited about the TNG crew. I respected the commitment towards the cast and characters to do RIGHT by them. Including the Enterprise-D. This has become a standard repeating watching for me since its release
You perfectly captured all of us TNG fans sentiment. "All Good Things" was a great way to end the show, but "Generations" was not how 1701-D should have ended. Season 3 perfectly gave us who grew up with these characters and ship the ending that it earned.
The ending of this video where all the crew are once again together onboard the enterprise, and picard welcomes jack to the enterprise, bought a tear to my eye, and it brought the ship i grew up back to life and where it should be
I missed this. The way (now) Captain 7 hugs and consoles lieutenant La Forge there was actually brilliant and why she is now a Captain. They developed a rapport previously in the season. 7 knows all too well what the collective could make a person do and La Forge is inexplicitly beside herself over what she was about to do to her direct superior and confidant. Meeting her at an emotional level like that was akin to the deep friendship Picard and Data often went to for each other in the TNG series. When you break this season down, it is truly a masterpiece even if you put the fan service/nostalgia aside. Thank You Terry!
This is not redemption for her, this is justice. She had to take the helm in a situation that was far from ideal even in the proper procedure for a saucer landing after the Saucer got kicked in the ass after not making it to minimum safe distance from the core breach. Troi basically pulled off a *_dead stick_* landing in a vessel not really built for it, and she managed to do it with low casualties and without totalling the spaceframe as the Enterprise-D's resurrection here shows. It is wholly unfair to disparage Troi for her performance at starship piloting in that situation.
@@Madcat221 Yeah, she really got the angle right. The saucer didn't nose-dive, and it didn't bounce and flip. The Big D skipped like a stone, right along the surface of Veridian III. The events of "Disaster" clearly inspired her to pursue more than simple command training.
And after the Stardrive section of the Big D exploded helm control went offline and Data tried leveling off the saucer when they started to descend to the planet.
Ever since this season premired, I have been telling all of my friends this is the Trek you want to watch. The young men and women who grew up on DS9, VOY ENT and most specifically TNG, they got what us TOS oldies got 40 years ago. TNG got not only their Voyage Home moment, but the got their most deserved Undiscovered Country moment. And hell, Terry Matalas even threw us old TOS fans a few bones as well. A proper Constitution Class, The Enterprise A, CAPT FIng KIRK, The HMS Bounty and Water Koenig as the Federation President Anton Chekov, This series went a long way to right the wrongs of the past few years and took major steps to heal the fandom as a whole. MORE TERRY TREK PLEASE!
Not only that but a Scotty-Dyson sphere moment "Scotty: The Enterprise? I should have known. I bet Jim Kirk himself hauled the old girl out of mothballs to come looking for me." The old girl the Enterprise-D rises from the ashes like the Great Bird of the Galaxy to face down and defeat her old foe, the Borg, who first made her run and hide, but now runs and hides from her.
We should all take a moment to thank the USS Syracuse, for whatever sacrifice she made, that allowed her stardrive to provide the crucial remaining piece to save Jack, the crew, the fleet, Earth, and the Federation. Three cheers for the "Entercuse"
I bet nothing happened to the Syracuse. Geordi probably just swiped it from a storage field somewhere, which is why only he knew the enterprise was rebuilt lol
Likely, the USS Syracuse was upgraded -- like all the other Galaxy Class ships still in service -- to Ross Class. That meant swapping their starboard drives for Sovereign Class drives and adding a second warp core. Likely, the Syracuse is still out there swinging, with a new pair of legs.
Im willing to bet the USS Syracuse lost its saucer in the Dominion War. Whatever damage the stardrive section took was relatively minor, and so it was used for the Enterprise D refurbishment. It may explain to some degree the likely more powerful weapons on the D because the Dominion Galaxies were heavily upgraded and more powerful than what the D would have been.
Seven said, "We did it," when she realized her assimilated crew wasn't going to kill her. Did anyone else hear a callback to ST Voyager: Endgame, when Janeway said the same thing?

Everyone contributed based on their skills, abilities, and personalities. In addition, not only did every plot thread conclude properly, every *emotional* thread had an arc, and payoff. Oh, and on a side note, they picked exactly the right two characters to carry over from seasons 1 and 2. 7 of 9 continues to be a fantastic character, and Raffi is by far the best of the S1 characters. Todd Stashwick absolutely owns it as Captain Shaw. Lastly, playing the son of Crusher and Picard is a daunting, almost impossible job, and Ed Speleers nails it.
Seven WOULD understand .... and JLP would probably understand a lil more than Seven (as their assimilations were different) ... but what Sidney and all those Starfleet officers experienced ... yeah, that's a LOT of therapy from people that really won't understand what they endured.
I think this was the very moment Seven became really a Starfleet captain: leading her people to the (final) battle and motherly conforting Sidney at the end... exactly the Janeway way!
@@kfures3469 Remember the conversation between Seven and Picard before he beamed her down to deal with her adoptive son, Icheb's murderer. How they mentioned how hard it was at times getting over what the Borg had done with them and yet it was still with them all the time.
Enterprise D: "You scraped me off the surface of Veridian III, put me back together, and brought me out of mothballs, all for THIS? Oh hell no. I'm done with this shit. Let's go, Syracuse, you're with me... quite literally, apparently."
And they said this woman couldn't act back when they introduced her and that she was only eye candy. HA!!! Yes - she still looks DAMN FINE. But she has CHOPS!
@@logandarklighter Absolutely. You could tell Jeri Ryan had chops from the first moments she played Seven of Nine freed from the Borg. She shattered any doubts in the episode where she had to play several minds trapped in her body, and again when she played the Doctor puppeting her body. Only fools couldn't see her talent. Sadly, there are plenty of fools in the world.
He didn’t mention Sto Vo Kor. Originally, the rumors were that someone in the TNG crew wouldn’t survive. If someone had to go, Worf would make sense, since Klingons seek out an honorable death in battle.
@@VincentPascual Worf should've been the one to beam over to the Scimitar in Nemesis and sacrifice himself. Not only would he have died an honorable death, but also would've gotten out of Riker and Troi's Betazoid wedding ceremony as he was reluctant to follow the tradition of appearing naked😄
@@AndrewChapmandid you actually watch the movie? lol ... the transporter wasn't supposed to work to beam Picard over to the Scimitar. and then the transporters fried after Picard went. Data didn't even transport over to the Scimitar; he flung himself over through the vacuum of space. Worf could not have done such a thing.
@@dhinton1 Jeez, I was just having a joke. And you missed my point entirely. Just meant Worf could've gone in Picard's place as he's always on about dying an honorable Klingon death. And he was dreading the thought of appearing naked at Riker and Troi's wedding ceremony on Betazed anyway, so this would've gotten him out of it.
This season was as perfect as we are gonna get in a star trek season. It takes events and characters from every Star Trek series. It is truly worth of being called the end of a Generation and a start of a New Generation.
Worf - the true soldier - knows when to catch a couple of ZZs. Rest assured, he'd be back up if he needed to be in a nano-second. But he knows the after-action reports are gonna be HELL... And BORING... might as well take the opportunity while you've got it!
“Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more. All the wealthy, unhappy people you're ever met take sleeping pills; Mobile Infantrymen don't need them. Give a cap trooper a bunk and time to sack out in it and he's as happy as a worm in an apple - asleep.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers
He has served the The Federation. Klingon Empire, and Starfleet. When he passes. Even the Jem'Hedar will come to honor him. Who knows they may take his genes and create hybrid species. Not even as an insult. Just respect for how much of a badass he is.
This was amazing. Seeing these beloved people save the universe one more time was everything I hoped it would be. Maybe Terry Matalas should write the upcoming "Star Wars" films...?
@@ArthurS1175 I wept when I saw Generations in theaters and the Enterprise D was destroyed. But I was always puzzled by the fact Star Fleet left the saucer section intact on Veridian III when in the Next Generation technical manual it stated that in the event that the saucer section crash landed on a planet surface, the crew was to be rescued and the saucer section was to be destroyed in order to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. 🤔
@@robertadams7318 Well, they wound up recovering it instead, so that's just as good. It probably also helped that the "enemy" in this case got taken out before the ship crash-landed.
Or alternately, he's just like Seven was when she joined the Voyager crew. Broken and in need of a mentor. Kind of interesting that in joining the Ent-G crew in his current capacity is an almost direct parallel in how Janeway mentored Seven and led her to heal emotionally.
The moment when Riker says “I love you, Imzadi… we’ll be waiting… me and our boy”…!😭 I thought… I really thought they were gonna… and I never even really liked Riker all that much! Just goes to show what can be done when the writing is impeccable, and the acting is top tier! I’m sooooo glad that the Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Superhero genres are *****FINALLY***** getting their time to shine! Because it’s ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!
This was the first time I was able to understand what Will and Deanna had said in that moment. (I don't have access to the original source, thus have to piece everything together via YT videos.)
fun bit of character development i missed at first, the only way Deanna was able to find Riker was because he finally allowed himself to fully feel his grief for their lost kid, few emotions are as strong as grief and him finally opening up to that saved him, worf, jack and jean-luc
The "Good Old Lady" still has what it takes when it comes to saving the galaxy and humanity. But after that, a few questions arise for me here, which concern the period after the destruction of the Borg cube and the decommissioning of the Enterprise-D in the Fleet Museum a year later. Did Picard take command of the fleet? Was there anyone left of the Admiralty? Was the Enterprise-D the interim flagship at the time? And will Captain Riker finally regain his long-deserved admiral rank and Data his old commander rank? And how many ships were badly damaged or destroyed during this whole action? In short: what happened in the one year after that? Are there already answers to all these questions?
The Titan was rechristened as the Enterprise-G, and there had to be more involved than just a relabeling. Perhaps refits and upgrades were in order. And overseen by Seven as its new captain and as someone who knows a lot about upgrading a starship (from her time on Voyager). And Seven didn’t give her first official act of command until a year later. She could’ve been in advanced captain’s training for a year (think Ro and her advanced tactical training in “Preemptive Strike”). Or she was on a well-deserved break. And on that break, she reconnected with Voyager’s crew. In the same year, Raffi probably got to rebuild her relationship with her family before taking up the Number One role.
Like to think Enterprise-D resumed her role as Flagship of the Federation for that year. Likely the intended Enterprise-G was being built but was destroyed by the fleet after it went Borg (and any Starship being constructed near Earth). That leaves Starfleet a dilemma, Enterprise-F’s replacement which they either postponed Enterprise-F’s decommissioning and built another Starship from Scratch or find a nearly completed new Starship/existing one and rename it. Well Titan-A was a bit nicked (can’t find the right term) and with repairs and upgrades, they choose rechristening an existing Ship for the option.
@@MarioLabot As an old destroyer sailor I would have termed the time Titan-A spent in the yards as "Repair and Overhaul" where older and less capable systems are either renewed or simply replaced with newer and better. Another, less formal way or terming it would be "She was in the body and fender shop."
That set of four notes is a Jerry Goldsmith "signature", he put that into The Motion Picture, The Final Frontier, First Contact, Insurrection and Nemesis, and I'm sure I've heard it sneaked into other pieces he did, cos I'm sure I've heard it in the Stargate (movie, that is) score too...
I'm not American, but I have known and loved American movies since I was a boy in the late 80s, and then I had a fateful encounter with Star Trek. I have just turned 40 years old now. Star Trek is still the foundation of my soul. The foundation and world of Star Trek have been passed down by many creators, but the world of Star Trek that I love will probably come to an end here. Because the people who built the foundation (including the actors) will soon be gone from this world. I will never again see a show set in the same universe as TNG, VOR, or the theatrical releases (1-10). It makes me so sad and heartbroken. And the American film culture of the 80s and 90s is coming to an end too. Because Americans today, society, and culture have changed a lot since then.When people, society, and culture change, it is impossible to create something exactly the same. Just like Star Wars...
The TNG movie we needed, deserved, and want. This was good. Flaws? Sure, yeah, whatever, but I'll take this over JJTrek or season 1 picard. Or Disco. LeVar and McFadden nail it.
Plus, they really stuck it to Lucasfilm. Star Wars fans had to watch in horror as their beloved heroes were deconstructed and killed off. Star Trek fans got to watch Picard and the crew take the Enterprise-D to save the Federation. Again.
I watched this series before becoming a father and it brought so much depth to the whole of the story. This is the best television moment in Star Trek history.
I think it's subtle, but amazing, that she probably sensed his despair but that despair was what helped her pinpoint where they were. Hope was present in that darkest moment.
I love when the Enterprise swoops in at 1:37 to save the away team. Although for a ship that's 2,000 ft/600 meters long, the perspective feels "off"... one would think the ship would look much larger overhead. I generally liked the slower movement of the starships in the original Star Trek movies and TNG. That said, I could get used to the Enterprise D having a wider array of maneuvers.
I figure that (a) the Megacube is just really, really big; (b) Data v3's at the helm, and; (c) this is how the ship can move when you don't have to worry about G-forces liquifying the crew in other areas of the ship.
Most of the original bridge crew in their original positions from Season One of TNG. Notable exceptions include Dr. Crusher being in Sickbay along with Tasha Yar not at tactical. It was these seven officers that encountered the Borg thanks to Q throwing them into their path. Six of these officers recaptured their assimilated captain and all seven beat the Borg for the first time. On a different Enterprise, these seven preserved their timeline from a grim future. It was these seven, the Magnificent Seven of Starfleet Legend, that faced the Borg one last time on THEIR Enterprise and THEIR terms. Starfleet should have an award of valor for EVERYTHING the crew of the Enterprise-D did to protect the Alpha Quadrant.
Captains log, stardate... whatever it is currently 🤷♂️ The command signal from the Borg has been destroyed, along with the last known cube in existence. Anyone, who's biology was affected by their signal, has seemingly returned to normal. We can now rest easy in the fact that Star Trek writers can no longer milk the borg cow to death anymore and, maybe, bring us stories that explore the most complex of mysteries again. The human condition.
I haven't seen this series but what I really like about this scene that is different from the older shows. The mission is over and nobody is throwing rank and just sitting wherever. It kinda shows they really have become a family rather than just a very good crew.
I'll be honest, Picard and his senior crew from the Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E were the hope that once more saved Earth and the Federation from becoming the Borg Queen's loyal drones. Still, the looks on the faces of Geordi's daughters and the other former assimilated make it clear they will be haunted by the atrocities they committed and almost committed for the rest of their lives. Sidney's was the clear sign when she realized to her horror she almost killed Seven of Nine upon getting her free will back and then realizing who else she, her sister, and the others murdered in cold blood, such as Shelby, while under the Queen's influence. She just broke down into a blubbering mess while Alandra and the others were all feeling guilty, remorseful, and ashamed of what happened. One has to wonder if PTSD forced many of them to quit Starfleet because they couldn't live with themselves over what they did.
These scenes show so much. The Old "fat" girl as a galaxy class that still can put out a ounch if needed oldschool-way aswell as the phoenix rising from the ashes of fire leaving the cube. Smybolic yet stylish
All the characters' reactions to each other, when they walk back onto the bridge after the rescue, feel so genuine, but in its own way, the way Worf exhaustedly slumps into the chair is the most real to me.
Still think Geordi, not knowing Beverly's familiarity with weapons should have been at OPS, could've issued Commands from there. There was a scene I think with Enterprise C, Tasha transfers to "C", Riker is injured, Picard jumps over the railing to take over OPS in the midst of combat.
The consoles have always been configurable anyway, so they can control whatever from any position. And a reminder -- we first saw LaForge in Season 1 at the helm. So this was fitting.
Mr. Matalas, we think we have it all. We made 7 a captain, we reunited the old crew, we made to Borg the big baddies again and we have Starfleet threatening to destroy the Earth. We have the family dynamic, we have the heroes, we have a resolution, but we need something really special to punch it up, something to tie the whole thing together, and we can't figure out what it should be. Terry: D
Worf is like Danny Glover (Roger Murtagh) in the lethal weapons movies: He's getting too old for this shit. LOL
And Data and Geordi know to just let sleeping klingons lie.
The funny thing is both the actor and Worf are still more capable than so many others half their age. Dorn is a practitioner of Asian martial arts and has a vegan diet. The guy looks like hes 40 (71 real).
He's still young for a Klingon.
Still he brings a sword to a gun fight.
@@ouknow1446 - yeah, but he had a hidden gun in there somewhere in the handle.

The Enterprise destroying a Borg Cube?!? That never gets old 💯💯💯
Third solo-kill. I think the only other contender would be Voyager.
@@Madcat221 I think voyager destroyed more than one
1701-D : "I'm coming for you"
Borg ship: " i am much more than what I was"
1701: "so am i"
Borg ship: "I have a queen"
1701: "I have a Data"
@@mikematthews6862
Borg ship "I am much more than what I was"
1701D "I don't care... bitch"
Enterprise D: "You scraped me off the surface of Veridian III, put me back together, and brought me out of mothballs, all for THIS? Oh hell no. I'm done with this shit. Let's go, Syracuse, you're with me... quite literally, apparently."
Syracuse: ":D Hooray! ADVENTUREEEE!!!"
Seeing seven go from steel to soft spoken was amazing
Yeah that is amazing
And they said this woman couldn't act back when they introduced her and that she was only eye candy. HA!!!
Yes - she still looks DAMN FINE. But she has CHOPS!
I agree. She'll make a fine Captain of the Enterprise.
@@logandarklighter Absolutely. You could tell Jeri Ryan had chops from the first moments she played Seven of Nine freed from the Borg. She shattered any doubts in the episode where she had to play several minds trapped in her body, and again when she played the Doctor puppeting her body. Only fools couldn't see her talent. Sadly, there are plenty of fools in the world.
I'd like to think Worf thought about Jadzia when he thought he was going to die.
He didn’t mention Sto Vo Kor. Originally, the rumors were that someone in the TNG crew wouldn’t survive. If someone had to go, Worf would make sense, since Klingons seek out an honorable death in battle.
@@VincentPascual Worf should've been the one to beam over to the Scimitar in Nemesis and sacrifice himself. Not only would he have died an honorable death, but also would've gotten out of Riker and Troi's Betazoid wedding ceremony as he was reluctant to follow the tradition of appearing naked😄
@@AndrewChapmandid you actually watch the movie? lol ...
the transporter wasn't supposed to work to beam Picard over to the Scimitar. and then the transporters fried after Picard went. Data didn't even transport over to the Scimitar; he flung himself over through the vacuum of space. Worf could not have done such a thing.
@@VincentPascual Someone did not survive: Ro Laren
@@dhinton1 Jeez, I was just having a joke. And you missed my point entirely. Just meant Worf could've gone in Picard's place as he's always on about dying an honorable Klingon death. And he was dreading the thought of appearing naked at Riker and Troi's wedding ceremony on Betazed anyway, so this would've gotten him out of it.
This season was as perfect as we are gonna get in a star trek season. It takes events and characters from every Star Trek series. It is truly worth of being called the end of a Generation and a start of a New Generation.
Yeah I agree this season was amazing
I can't wait to see what they do next
Millennium Falcon eat your heart out!
I love how they blew up the Death Star I mean Borg Cube love those bubble Shield effects😅😊
Worf - the true soldier - knows when to catch a couple of ZZs. Rest assured, he'd be back up if he needed to be in a nano-second.
But he knows the after-action reports are gonna be HELL... And BORING... might as well take the opportunity while you've got it!
“Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more. All the wealthy, unhappy people you're ever met take sleeping pills; Mobile Infantrymen don't need them. Give a cap trooper a bunk and time to sack out in it and he's as happy as a worm in an apple - asleep.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers
He has served the The Federation. Klingon Empire, and Starfleet.
When he passes. Even the Jem'Hedar will come to honor him. Who knows they may take his genes and create hybrid species. Not even as an insult. Just respect for how much of a badass he is.
This moved me to complete & utter tears
I'll never forget Picard S3, especially the last two eps
Yeah they are pretty good Episodes
This was amazing. Seeing these beloved people save the universe one more time was everything I hoped it would be.
Maybe Terry Matalas should write the upcoming "Star Wars" films...?
Star Wars is beyond repair at this point.
And they ****ALL**** got to LIVE! YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!
@@JeffBird86 I wouldn't say so. They should just put Dave Filoni in charge of that franchise.
😂 amen
No. Leave him writing Star Trek. He's good at it!
The Enterprise D has been and always will be my favorite ship. It was great seeing her again.
Awesome and that is very true its a Cool Ship
@@ArthurS1175 I wept when I saw Generations in theaters and the Enterprise D was destroyed. But I was always puzzled by the fact Star Fleet left the saucer section intact on Veridian III when in the Next Generation technical manual it stated that in the event that the saucer section crash landed on a planet surface, the crew was to be rescued and the saucer section was to be destroyed in order to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. 🤔
@robertadams7318 My That was understandable to do that ship meant alot.
And I was puzzle by it to
Yeah. Absolutely. :)
@@robertadams7318 Well, they wound up recovering it instead, so that's just as good. It probably also helped that the "enemy" in this case got taken out before the ship crash-landed.
"Even if somehow you survived, you'd be different . . . changed . . . broken . . . ALONE."
No, Queenie, that's just YOU. Projecting a bit, are we?
Or alternately, he's just like Seven was when she joined the Voyager crew. Broken and in need of a mentor. Kind of interesting that in joining the Ent-G crew in his current capacity is an almost direct parallel in how Janeway mentored Seven and led her to heal emotionally.
@@martinblevin5587 those are interesting, thoughts and parallels, but do forgive me if I’m not prepared to give the Borg Queen that much credit.
Always.
The moment when Riker says “I love you, Imzadi… we’ll be waiting… me and our boy”…!😭 I thought… I really thought they were gonna… and I never even really liked Riker all that much! Just goes to show what can be done when the writing is impeccable, and the acting is top tier!
I’m sooooo glad that the Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Superhero genres are *****FINALLY***** getting their time to shine! Because it’s ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!
This was the first time I was able to understand what Will and Deanna had said in that moment. (I don't have access to the original source, thus have to piece everything together via YT videos.)
I am with worf, after all he does had some adventure...and lost someone he loved....that snoring is more than deserved
That is so true
For Worf that is Well deserved
fun bit of character development i missed at first, the only way Deanna was able to find Riker was because he finally allowed himself to fully feel his grief for their lost kid, few emotions are as strong as grief and him finally opening up to that saved him, worf, jack and jean-luc
I know this is all very thrilling, but now that I'm a dad, I just sob hysterically while watching this. It's all so sincere and heartfelt.
The "Good Old Lady" still has what it takes when it comes to saving the galaxy and humanity.
But after that, a few questions arise for me here, which concern the period after the destruction of the Borg cube and the decommissioning of the Enterprise-D in the Fleet Museum a year later.
Did Picard take command of the fleet? Was there anyone left of the Admiralty? Was the Enterprise-D the interim flagship at the time? And will Captain Riker finally regain his long-deserved admiral rank and Data his old commander rank?
And how many ships were badly damaged or destroyed during this whole action?
In short: what happened in the one year after that?
Are there already answers to all these questions?
The Titan was rechristened as the Enterprise-G, and there had to be more involved than just a relabeling. Perhaps refits and upgrades were in order. And overseen by Seven as its new captain and as someone who knows a lot about upgrading a starship (from her time on Voyager).
And Seven didn’t give her first official act of command until a year later. She could’ve been in advanced captain’s training for a year (think Ro and her advanced tactical training in “Preemptive Strike”). Or she was on a well-deserved break. And on that break, she reconnected with Voyager’s crew. In the same year, Raffi probably got to rebuild her relationship with her family before taking up the Number One role.
Like to think Enterprise-D resumed her role as Flagship of the Federation for that year. Likely the intended Enterprise-G was being built but was destroyed by the fleet after it went Borg (and any Starship being constructed near Earth). That leaves Starfleet a dilemma, Enterprise-F’s replacement which they either postponed Enterprise-F’s decommissioning and built another Starship from Scratch or find a nearly completed new Starship/existing one and rename it. Well Titan-A was a bit nicked (can’t find the right term) and with repairs and upgrades, they choose rechristening an existing Ship for the option.
Clearly, we need a Legacy season.... and something in between to explain all of that
@@MarioLabot To be honest, I'd rather Enterprise-G be a new ship. Titan-A rightfully deserved her legacy name and earned it many times over.
@@MarioLabot As an old destroyer sailor I would have termed the time Titan-A spent in the yards as "Repair and Overhaul" where older and less capable systems are either renewed or simply replaced with newer and better. Another, less formal way or terming it would be "She was in the body and fender shop."
BEST scene in the movie! Especially the destruction of the cube and the ship flying out of the explosion, just badass!!!
I just finished s3...banger! It was more than i expected, and they tied up ng and voyager story lines nicely. Great series!
Welcome to the Enterprise indeed!
4:21 That First Contact motif got me right in the gut. The music this season has been nothing short of perfection.
That set of four notes is a Jerry Goldsmith "signature", he put that into The Motion Picture, The Final Frontier, First Contact, Insurrection and Nemesis, and I'm sure I've heard it sneaked into other pieces he did, cos I'm sure I've heard it in the Stargate (movie, that is) score too...
That’s known as the captains motif and made its first appearance in Final Frontier.
Enterprise-D coming out the debris field reminds me of Voyager getting home.
7 of 9 is no longer alone, a whole generation of Starfleet officers now having the experience of the hive mind that she knows all too well
Welcome to THE Enterprise. Yes, sir.
Oh Worf you deserve that nap 😂
I'm not American, but I have known and loved American movies since I was a boy in the late 80s, and then I had a fateful encounter with Star Trek. I have just turned 40 years old now. Star Trek is still the foundation of my soul. The foundation and world of Star Trek have been passed down by many creators, but the world of Star Trek that I love will probably come to an end here.
Because the people who built the foundation (including the actors) will soon be gone from this world. I will never again see a show set in the same universe as TNG, VOR, or the theatrical releases (1-10). It makes me so sad and heartbroken.
And the American film culture of the 80s and 90s is coming to an end too. Because Americans today, society, and culture have changed a lot since then.When people, society, and culture change, it is impossible to create something exactly the same. Just like Star Wars...
“Even if somehow you survived, you will be different, changed, broken, alone!” Lol nope. Mom hugs him on sight, implants and all. ❤️
That shot of Enterprise D overhead was awesome. Talk about cracking the ass open. Holy Shit!
Best 'reunion show' ever.
I love the Enterprise's bubble shields ❤
When 7 hugs Geordi’s daughter, I legit empathized on some level what victims of uncontrolled abuse feel like when they let it out
The TNG movie we needed, deserved, and want. This was good. Flaws? Sure, yeah, whatever, but I'll take this over JJTrek or season 1 picard. Or Disco. LeVar and McFadden nail it.
Indeed
Alex saying we doing the story this way. TNG crew saying NO, we doing it the right way.
So would I. So would I !!!🤨
Replace Season 1 with 2 then this is a true fact. Season 1 was good...season 2 not so much.
Plus, they really stuck it to Lucasfilm. Star Wars fans had to watch in horror as their beloved heroes were deconstructed and killed off. Star Trek fans got to watch Picard and the crew take the Enterprise-D to save the Federation. Again.
I watched this series before becoming a father and it brought so much depth to the whole of the story. This is the best television moment in Star Trek history.
Epic
That Troi found the away team based on her connection with Riker says a lot about how in sync they are.
I think it's subtle, but amazing, that she probably sensed his despair but that despair was what helped her pinpoint where they were. Hope was present in that darkest moment.
Enterprise D perfect example of "Baby Got Back"
I love when the Enterprise swoops in at 1:37 to save the away team. Although for a ship that's 2,000 ft/600 meters long, the perspective feels "off"... one would think the ship would look much larger overhead.
I generally liked the slower movement of the starships in the original Star Trek movies and TNG. That said, I could get used to the Enterprise D having a wider array of maneuvers.
Upgrades, retrofits to modernize older ships. Happens often in military.
It's still a good kilometer above them. that mega cube is something like 200km accross, it's massive
I figure that (a) the Megacube is just really, really big; (b) Data v3's at the helm, and; (c) this is how the ship can move when you don't have to worry about G-forces liquifying the crew in other areas of the ship.
Seven of Nine, hugging someone, expressing compassion. So damned awesome!
When will and Deanna reunited. The was a bit of music that reminded me when the Klingons sing to honour kor. DD9, Once More Unto the Breach
Man those poor young ones are going to need therapy for a LONG TIME since they would have remember all the killing of their officers.
Best Star trek ever.
It just made me cry when Riker says, " I loye you, Imzadi . I'll be waiting for you..Me and I our boy! "
Most of the original bridge crew in their original positions from Season One of TNG. Notable exceptions include Dr. Crusher being in Sickbay along with Tasha Yar not at tactical. It was these seven officers that encountered the Borg thanks to Q throwing them into their path. Six of these officers recaptured their assimilated captain and all seven beat the Borg for the first time. On a different Enterprise, these seven preserved their timeline from a grim future. It was these seven, the Magnificent Seven of Starfleet Legend, that faced the Borg one last time on THEIR Enterprise and THEIR terms. Starfleet should have an award of valor for EVERYTHING the crew of the Enterprise-D did to protect the Alpha Quadrant.
Deanna powerslides a galaxy class starship and then get the hell out of dodge ........ Nice flying counsellor
Warf snoring was the best!
It would be if you spelled a 4 letter name properly
@@robwilliams6753 it's better this way. Trust👍
Captains log, stardate... whatever it is currently 🤷♂️ The command signal from the Borg has been destroyed, along with the last known cube in existence. Anyone, who's biology was affected by their signal, has seemingly returned to normal. We can now rest easy in the fact that Star Trek writers can no longer milk the borg cow to death anymore and, maybe, bring us stories that explore the most complex of mysteries again. The human condition.
The vacuum of space is still as noisy as I remember it.
I haven't seen this series but what I really like about this scene that is different from the older shows. The mission is over and nobody is throwing rank and just sitting wherever. It kinda shows they really have become a family rather than just a very good crew.
the first 2 seasons were absolute dumpster fires
Worf @ the end: totally me having a complete shutdown after job done
4:23 worf is like my dad, after a long day of work he comes home and quickly naps and snores 😂😂😂😂
Buzz Lightyear meme: "so much therapy - everyone needed therapy"
That's exactly what they need
Jack's casting is actually brilliant. Think back to TNG where Picard reverted back to a child, he looked exactly like Jack.
Also, brilliant actor, it must be said.
2:10 I love they got Alice Krige Again to voice the borg queen!
I'll be honest, Picard and his senior crew from the Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E were the hope that once more saved Earth and the Federation from becoming the Borg Queen's loyal drones.
Still, the looks on the faces of Geordi's daughters and the other former assimilated make it clear they will be haunted by the atrocities they committed and almost committed for the rest of their lives. Sidney's was the clear sign when she realized to her horror she almost killed Seven of Nine upon getting her free will back and then realizing who else she, her sister, and the others murdered in cold blood, such as Shelby, while under the Queen's influence. She just broke down into a blubbering mess while Alandra and the others were all feeling guilty, remorseful, and ashamed of what happened. One has to wonder if PTSD forced many of them to quit Starfleet because they couldn't live with themselves over what they did.
These scenes show so much. The Old "fat" girl as a galaxy class that still can put out a ounch if needed oldschool-way aswell as the phoenix rising from the ashes of fire leaving the cube. Smybolic yet stylish
The lady saved her crew again
And she’ll always bring you home
@@RyanHayes1984 idc who bitches. It was fitting for the D coming out swinging for her crew
The Big D. THE Federation Starship design like no other!!!
Greatest. Starship. Design. EVAR!!!!!!!
Can we appreciate the fact that Worf just randomly falls asleep after a huge fight with the borg
I mean, wouldn't you? Dude got *shot twice.*
Why? Do you have reason to think that we can't?
All the characters' reactions to each other, when they walk back onto the bridge after the rescue, feel so genuine, but in its own way, the way Worf exhaustedly slumps into the chair is the most real to me.
Worf snores is so funny😂
Deana did the Command Training! back in the day. She can fly!
The last time that she did, she CRASHED.
@@WarGrowlmon18 She didn't this time. 😊
3:03 Where Seven becomes a Mom.🙂
Ella ya era mamá de Icheb
1:35 Seeing her power slide in to a holding position is so freaking cool.
Still think Geordi, not knowing Beverly's familiarity with weapons should have been at OPS, could've issued Commands from there. There was a scene I think with Enterprise C, Tasha transfers to "C", Riker is injured, Picard jumps over the railing to take over OPS in the midst of combat.
The consoles have always been configurable anyway, so they can control whatever from any position. And a reminder -- we first saw LaForge in Season 1 at the helm. So this was fitting.
The Falcon ain’t got nothin’ on the Enterprise-D.
The CGI and the music are incredible! Movie quality!
Gonna be a whole lot of traumatized Star Fleet personel.
Troi drifting the Enterprise like that withoutit crashingtgis time...impressive
0:28 That quick look from Jack, of "Dad, you okay?" First time it truly felt like he accepted Picard as his father. Awesome scene.

Riker always got me tearing up
"I love you Mzati we'll be waiting me and our boy" (sorry if i misspelled)

Close enough. It's actually Imzadi.

Damn right

Yeah they should've
For sure
There just wasn't enough time to fit in everything. I'm sure he was thinking it.
4:25 "Today is a good day to nap."
Worf's snoring's so cute. ahahahahah
Mr. Matalas, we think we have it all. We made 7 a captain, we reunited the old crew, we made to Borg the big baddies again and we have Starfleet threatening to destroy the Earth. We have the family dynamic, we have the heroes, we have a resolution, but we need something really special to punch it up, something to tie the whole thing together, and we can't figure out what it should be.
Terry: D
Good ol' Enterprise D has done it again! Bravo!
