Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x10 - "The Last Generation"

[Tosk]

Unless I misremember, Janeway said 'engage' for simple travel, just as Picard and Sisko did. "Do it!" was more for other activities.
Like I say, I could be wrong.

Either way, that's every nuTrek show now doing the stupid (IMO!) catchphrase thing.

 

[gweeps]

Why bother then?? Dramatically it's just terrible writing, exactly the same thing Matalas has done all season. We see a scene, we scratch our heads, someone cracks a joke, we smile, and everything seems OK till we use our brain cells.

Q visiting Picard's son before he dies "later" adds complexity to his reasons for helping Picard move on from his childhood trauma.

Remmember how Q said to Guinan in the police station he'd see her again? How can he do that if it's already happened, and he's dying? Time isn't linear.

Yeah "Do it" was Janeway's "Make it so".

 

[The Commander]

I think they made a mistake. The "One year later" was applied one scene too early. That scene at Fleet Museum was clearly supposed to take place shortly after the final mission.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

The last concert of a cover band.

I found little original in this episode, and I don't think there was much to make this stand apart from other finales within the franchise, save Turnabout Intruder. Even These are the Voyages had some charming moments when Riker interacted with the HoloCrew as Chef. The battle was a chaotic mess: just a bunch of shooting, not even the tactical thoughtfulness of Nemesis. An attack run out of Return of the Jedi. Seven claiming to have invented Arctus' transporter weapon. Etc.

I'm reading a lot of enthusiasm in these pages, but I don't think this finale, or this season, will hold up over time. Matalas spent a lot of time looking for ways of appeasing critics and appealing to fans' desires for wish fulfillment. Nothing was innovative. Nothing was challenging. Nothing was unique. There were more than a few good character interactions against the backdrop of mediocrity.

Loved seeing what a Captain LaForge would have been like.

IDK, the E-D took some damage from the Borg encounter. She needed those dents buffed out before being put on full display.

I'm OK with that being a year later.

 

[The Commander]

They kept the few things that worked and tossed everything else to tell a TNG 8 Season 8 serialized story.

More like TNG's final movie.

Well but then they should have replaced their field jackets at least. ;-)

 

[Quantum21]

OK everyone, I will apologize for my crabbiness this morning, as the disappointment after giving the benefit of the doubt mid-season to this show led to such great fannish disappointment.

I will stand by my statements as before on the show but not my statements that are borderline personal, I do regret them and ask for understanding and will endeavor not to delve into such territory again.

Yeah, it was weird seeing Riker, Picard, and LaForge "One Year Later" and still dressed identically to the way they did before.

It made me think of The Blues Brothers.

"At least we got a change of clothes, sucker. You're wearing the same shit you had on three years ago."

 

[The Commander]

Gonna give it an 8. It felt like a good sendoff, but they definitely were playing it safe. And the new ship...well....I dunno. Overall a fun episode, but was a bit underwhelmed.

I gave it a 9 (which is generous) but I feel the same.

 

[Phily B]

I'm glad they played it safe considering when they don't, they've missed the mark spectacularly. Giving the TNG cast a proper send off with one last adventure was what we wanted and what we got in my opinion. No pointless deaths, everyone is mostly happy.

Thanks for owning that. Appreciated.

 

[Falco16]

I'm gonna give is a 9. I really liked all of the stuff witht he OG crew, but I felt that renaming the Titan to Enterprise-G and Captain Seven was way too much.

Honestly it feels pretty disrespectful to the Titan name. Like, she had as much to do with helping save the Federation as the D did, and to just erase the namesake and rechristening it to the E-G just felt like a bit of a slap to the face of the Titan legacy.

 

[The Commander]

Another continuity issue are the golden combadges. Worf and Raffi wear one before the time skip while the others still wear the silver ones. Strange.

And Will and Deanna are still looking for a vacation spot one year later? :-P

 

[FreezeC77]

Not gonna lie, but I thought there was like a tiny sliver of a chance the "deli guy" pilot would have said "Now that's a star trek"

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Honestly it feels pretty disrespectful to the Titan name. Like, she had as much to do with helping save the Federation as the D did, and to just erase the namesake and rechristening it to the E-G just felt like a bit of a slap to the face of the Titan legacy.

"Don't remember the Titan" Is a terrible slogan.

 

[Quantum21]

Please post the link to your IMDb so I can compare.

I will be honest, I could have written a better ending to this story.

Could I executive produce a TV show? Probably not. Are there other producers on Imdb who COULD do a better job? Yes.

Don't worry I guarantee the next trip to the 25tf century or beyond will have a ship or class called Shaw.

 

[Tomalak]

Well I thought that was great. They left a lot to do last week, but we got the big finale and plenty of closure too.

Can't really be arsed breaking it down because I can't wipe the smile off my face.

Perhaps it's just empty fan service, but this fan feels thoroughly serviced.
