this is great

they rebuilt the TNG bridge from scratch to the exact specifications of the show, not the movie, right down to gene's name on the plaque

and no CGI...it's at the end

Question: Why at the end is "Spoiler Ship" Flying back to Sol system? Even a Borg Cube would have a lot of Difficulty with the number of ships that are there for Federation Day. Even though "Spoiler Ship" is not connected to the ship network it will get pounced on and blown to hell in a second just like the one ship that the older crew took the bridge back.

Is there a belief that Mega Cube is going to be there with all the other ships and the Queen will get all High and Mighty and let Picard come on board so she can get the last ounce of revenge on him?

Tin Foil Hat Theory time: Since the next episode will be the last one of the series then it has to end with a bang. Picard goes on board the cube to try to rescue Jack and save him from the queen. The Queen does some shenanigans and oopsie kills Picard. This awakens Jack from the control and in a desire to not be a borg and try to stop the queen and him feeling bad about all the death he has caused, he will turn the fleet on the borg cube and we have our budget busting space fight. Of course the fleet wins, the Borg cube is destroyed and with that, there is no more control since Jack was the transmitter. Somber moment since we lost both Jean Luc and Jack and Beverly is crushed. Then there is a large Funeral procession for Admiral Picard and put all the fallen onto the "Spoiler Ship" and play some bagpipe Amazing Grace. The "Spoiler Ship" slowly heads into the Sun as a final farewell to Picard and "Spoiler Ship". In the ending you get a one off view of what everyone is doing now with thoughtful expressions of what "family" they are missing. Like 7 of 9 will be on the Titan and say "Engage" and there will be Deanna and Riker living in the big city. Data and Geordie will be at Daystrom and in charge of de-construction of that mess. Beverly will be helping get all the Picard DNA out of the Transporters. Maybe Worf takes whats her name back to where her family is and puts in a good word with the husband and daughter?? Not sure on that one.

One word.

"Sleep."

This season of Picard may be the best use of nostalgia I’ve ever seen. Enjoying every bit of it.

:clap:

Fantastic fan service.

Hard to argue with this. All the cameos, plus little snippets from every era. The first season was okay, and the second was shit, but this has been, for the most part, pure gold. This one is for US, not them.

I've probably watched the ending 20 times already. It's the Trek equivalent of the end of Rogue One.

Starfleet is full of morons, apparently.

Also if the 2003-2009 Battlestar is Voyager if Ronald D Moore had full control, then what does that make Picard S3?

Still so good

cried all over again LMAO

It's funny, but it does seem smaller now. I think that's mainly because we're used to seeing it in standard 4x3.

camera lens too
