It was quite an ending. I don't know if I would characterize it as satisfying, but there was a lot going on, and I'll admit it had a little more substance than the penultimate episode.
Random Thoughts:
Talinn's death felt rehearsed. Ok she's meant to die, but like she couldn't come up with a way to stop Soong other than by portraying a fake Renee that gets killed by him? Was she under orders not to harm him too?
It was nice to see Wil Wheaten reprise the role of Wesley Crusher, but I'm not sure how I feel about the Travelers' role in all this. Weren't they supposed to be passive observers, like the Watchers from the Marvel Universe? Funnily enough, I saw "Journey's End" yesterday not knowing about this cameo, and when Wesley asks the Traveler about the situation on the colony settled by the indigenous group, the Traveler comments that people will eventually work to solve their own problems. That doesn't strike me as a species that feels the need to get involved in galactic affairs. But then Wesley talks about balance, so presumably the Travelers feel they don't have to get involved in every conflict...for reasons of cosmic balance?
I also don't know how to feel about Jurati/Borg Queen. So they have created their own collective, akin to a less malevolent Think Tank. I guess they've managed to avoid being spotted by the malignant Borg Collective for centuries. But they've also become aware of this new threatening force, just in time for Season 3.
The scenes between JL and Q were touching, but I'm not sure I would have hugged Q. After all, in Q Who, he is partially responsible for the death of 2 crewmen. That being said, I would have liked more explanation as to what is happening with the Continuum. It seemed the Q were dying of some external cause, but it's only briefly touched upon in the second episode and never again. I feel Q was trying to teach Picard the same lesson about choices and letting go of the past, a lesson he had already taught him in Tapestry (which I think is the better story to be honest).
I interpreted the "Project: Khan" folder as leading to the eventual creation of Khan Singh, but I suppose it could have also been an attempt to create more Augments. After all, it is called the Eugenics Wars, so there could have been multiple conflicts against augments. Maybe WW3 is a part of the broader Eugenics Wars.
The scene in the bar was sweet, maybe a bit saccharin like Discovery season 4's ending (specifically the bit with Booker's "rescue") but I guess it always nice to end on a positive note.
Picard gets a redo with Laris, but we're getting Crusher back next season so...
The file name is rather too specific to actually have anything to do with Khan Noonien Singh or the Eugenics Wars. It's obviously named after Khan Noonien Singh.
