So, what are the odds that they'll have the discipline not to explain Worf's role in the E's destruction?
The next Manny Coto will come along in 5 years and ruin the joke.
High, due to STO it's become a running gag at this point that we will never find out what happened to the Enterprise E.
I'm wondering now if the creation of Shinzon wasn't itself a Borg plot. If the Romulans took Picard's DNA after BOBW, then Shinzon also would have been a carrier and his chances of reproducing were a hell of a lot more likely than Jean-Luc's. The Borg DNA might also explain why Shinzon was inexplicably decaying and needed a blood transfusion or whatever.
The TNG callback no one asked for.
“Computer: lights”. Finally!
Strange episode…The Borg being behind everything had been anticipated several episodes ago and the takeover was done honestly in a quite pedestri way. Their plan is quite honest very unlikely. Nice to see Shelby, I hope she didn’t come back just to be killed.
The ending of the episode, though, was incredible…I had anticipated this was coming several months ago, when someone mentioned in an interview about filming on a replica of a familiar set, this didn’t make it less emotive at all. I almost cried and the D isn’t even my favourite enterprise.
Curious that I’m universe the bridge was restored to a configuration similar to the one it had in the series (I didn’t check in which season exactly, as it changed over the years), removing the modifications of Generations like the side consoles and the steps. In real life I guess that the production didn’t want/couldn’t modify the set accordingly.
Fun remark about the enterprise-e, I guess we’ll never know.
Did 7 and Raffi stay on the Titan or what? I almost feared that they were going to give the conn to Deanna.
And what happened to La Sirena?
I wonder what the plan will be now…sure the one ship can’t go against the whole Starfeet (all of it! Screw exploratory, research and defence missions, we have to do a big soviet-style parade with a lame opening speech!).
I imagine the last episode will involve in devorgifying Jack. And I hope to see some “real” Borg: it’s been quite some time.
The interiors of the unicomplex was really eeery, something it never was on voyager.
I’m surprised to see Alice Krige back: I thought she didn’t ever want to wear those prosthetics.
Also, I’m not complaining but I really liked Annie Wersching’s performance last season.
Last note: this is the best version of Data ever. Fun and compassionate while still being reliable.
8, but only because the ending really touched me.
Interesting tidbit: Vox was the name of Locutus’s romulan counterpart in Shatner’s books!

Computer: Lights activating dramatically, as well as LCARS panels even though those were not requested.
Restored to it's most famous configuration.
Agreed. I never thought I'd say this but I'd prefer now if they fought the evil synth worms from Season 1. At the end of the day, they're a generic horror threat no different than the Borg but at least the evil synth worms haven't been done to death and would be a new enemy.
I'll admit to getting a case of the warm fuzzies when Picard and crew stepped onto the bridge of the Enterprise-D (I'm only human), but future Trek projects really need to look forward, not to the past. Writers have gone to the well far too many times with their Wrath of Khan and The Best of Both Worlds references (Strange New Worlds has already knelt at the altar of TWOK in its first season and now Terry Matalas managed paeans to both in season 3 of Picard).
TWOK came out 41 years ago; TNG's Borg 2-parter was 33 years ago. I dearly wish that any future writers who truly loved those bold, exciting takes on Trek would try delivering something similarly fresh and exciting for 21st century Trek viewers. I'd say it's long overdue.
Obviously, we still have one episode to go before the finale of Picard, but it seems a bit sad that the ultimate aim of season three (aside from "fixing" things Terry Matalas didn't like about the last 29 years of Star Trek) is to put Picard and crew back on the Enterprise-D—exactly where we left them at the end of "All Good Things". This isn't progress, it's nostalgia on steroids.

No, it makes perfect sense you would want to give people's eye's the time to adjust.
They did try something fresh and new for 21st century Trek viewers. It's called Discovery. Unfortunately the refusal to develop anyone other than the big 3/4 characters of Disco and the meandering dialogue/direction (compared to the sharp direction and tension filled dialogue that prop up Picard's very tired and mundane storyline) meant that it's now being canceled.
No, I want to know what happened.
This was shocking. The single most important thing we need to know. I will not rest until this is solved.
Unfortunately, due to being progressively more expensive and budgets are tightening up all over the place Discovery is now being cancelled.
Moving on.
It blew up. It sucked.
Moving on.
Something else that irked me was how much 7 was sidelined: in the discussions regarding the Borg she should be front and center and her DNA should have been checked too, since she had been assimilated for decades!
Shaw’s death was surprisingly touching. A pity to see him die though, even if he has been redundant since they went rogue.

I'd assume that Vulcans join Star Fleet later in life, maybe a decade, since their not going to do any half ass human education, until after they have finished their "real" Vulcan education.
I'm referring to the writers for TOS & TNG projects and their obsession with TWOK and TBoBW. Disco has nothing to do with it.
Also, what was the rush about Frontier Day exactly? Sure, having all of Starfeet (ALL of it!!!) in the same place can be useful, but once the queen has jack it seems that her plan, which has been decades in the makings, should work in any day.
Well, that was a . . . spectacle. I gave it a 7. Not really my cup of tea but it was moving seeing the Ent-D again.
Where to begin. A couple of guesses I got right. For one the Borg, which many guessed. But I also knew transporters were related somehow. Didn't know exactly how, but it seemed clear they were involved.
Why didn't it grab me?
For one thing it felt really short in the it didn't really have much going on sense. I mean, it had spectacle but not much substance. I was literally surprised when the episode ended. It felt that short.
This episode really jumped the shark. Let's have the Borg and Dominion work together. They don't go naturally together but ok. Then we'll have virtually all of Starfleet. Then we'll have virtually all of Starfleet assimilated in one episode. Tons of spectacle! All just happening.
And guess what, we have exactly one episode to resolve all that. It's hard to imagine a satisfying conclusion. I hope I'm wrong. I really do. But it's hard to imagine.
So, what happened plot wise. Well Jack stormed off. The Borg queen got him despite our heroes' efforts. Lots of exposition about what's actually going on with the biological modifications and DNA. More exposition about Fleet Maneuvers or whatever. Then suddenly the mass assimilation. Stuff just happened and happened to our heroes.
I did laugh when our heroes were leaving the Titan and we had the scene which basically sent TNG cast one way and the others another way.
I was disappointed that Shaw died. He was a neat character and one that I would've like to have had survive so there'd be the potential for seeing more of him.
The handling of Seven, Shaw, and Raffi continued the trend of the past several episodes of using them poorly. Basically, they just had to find ways to get them out of the way in this episode. lf you're going to put the characters in the story, you might as well find an effective way to use them. Otherwise, don't include them!
