Cute
It never addressed the Q-species, just that singular Q that we know. Q said he was dying alone, so is that in terms of any sort of romantic attachment or literally the last of the Q level alone.
That part was left ambiguous and intended for there to be a point of commonality between Q and Picard.
Those are fair points. Most of it, I agree. The fact is that this season was intended to be a coda to TNG so it did exactly what it was supposed to. While technically, it is season 3, it is not really season 3. It is really distinct and separate from S1 and S2.
I would say that Agnes' reformation of the Borg still mattered. Those alt-Borg are still out there, guarding the transwarp conduit. Nothing with those Borg was undone by S3. If anything, S2 and S3 provide a nice conclusion to the entire Borg arc. The main Borg from TNG onward that were such an evil threat to the galaxy are gone now and they have been replaced by a new Borg faction that is good and even allied with the Federation. So we have a proper conclusion to the Borg now.
I'm going to on a limb and headcanon that because Q changed the future in AGT, he's basically the "father" of Jack Crusher in a way, because in AGT Picard's Borg DNA went forever unrecognized, he never had kids, and the Frontier Day Massacre of 2401 never would've happened.
Q basically had an interest in the Picard bloodline, wanted to create Jack Crusher, and has thus met up with the product of his machinations in the post-credits scene.
This was all too much for the continuum. Yes they mess with humanity but they don't go out of their way to kill thousands, even inferior humans, and certainly not over some bizarre fixation on a human bloodline. Q was sentenced to death in Season 2 by the continuum for his actions dating from AGT that culminated in Season 3. Yes it's all timey-wimey. It's as good as an explanation as we'll get so far. What we DON'T know is why Q wanted Jack to be born so much.
The closest analogy to Q that exists in other SciFi is The Doctor from Doctor Who.
That show subscribes to the notion that time is not linear and there are certain fixed points, however you can jump around in your own timeline, before and after, etc.
I took the post credits scene to be that Q did indeed die in Picard Season 2. This is Q from outside that linear timeline, as evidence by the fact that he is "aged up" and wearing his confederation timeline outfit, implying that this is him mucking around while Picard and crew are busy doing what they did in 21st century earth.
Not a retcon.

Indeed. These really need to be treated as films, and distinct entities not necessarily following up from the last one.

I don't care, I love these people.
This was fantastic.
This was fantastic.
That's something I loved too! Watching the Enterprise-D move like that was bringing something new to the table that otherwise would be taken for granted. We got to see the D put to use in a whole new way, piloted with android precision.
I do hope his Mother wasn't Tamoon!!!!

Pavel Chekov, while under evil mind control, did express a desire for Klingon women in Day of the Dove I believe.
Ok so... who's the mother of Anton Chekov? Azetbur? L'Rell???
JACK: Father? You'll never guess who I ran into today!
Q: *snaps fingers*
PICARD: Whom?
JACK: What? Why did you call me?
PICARD: I didn't call you. You called me.
JACK: Did I?
Q: *snaps fingers*
PICARD: Whom?
JACK: What? Why did you call me?
PICARD: I didn't call you. You called me.
JACK: Did I?
Probably not, but I think Irina Galliulin could be Anton Chekov's mother.Pavel Chekov, while under evil mind control, did express a desire for Klingon women in Day of the Dove I believe.

Shaw had some teal steak at the reception dinner. XD
Yea. I said earlier in the thread the Q who died could have been a Q from a decade, century, or even millions or billions of years into the future who wanted one last 'fun fight with Picard' so he travelled back in time. Just because the Q say they are omnipotent, doesn't mean they are and the fact they've fought against other entities shows they aren't 'omnipotent'. Whatever they tap into for their power source is likely finite and eventually they run out.
But it's all on a level not even conceivable by mere mortals to comprehend how they do what they do.
Picard was about to eat in the flashback, but the damn kids kept interrupting him with questions! And then there was that brat with the baseball cap at the end.
I don't know, but I think it is the perfect time to make a Voyager reunion after Picard. With 7 of 9 commandeered the Enterprise G. It will be fun. Specially when Admiral Janeaway is nowhere to find in here. Maybe her whereabout can become the mystery to solve for the Ent G; thus lead into a Voyager Reunion Series.
I agree.
Admiral Janeway giving Captain Seven and the Enterprise-G their next mission, and Tuvok's already still part of Starfleet. It's completely organic. They wouldn't have to go through so much to reunite the VOY crew like they did with the TNG crew.
