So...
I'm pretty happy about the ending. I really worried at various points that Worf, Riker, or Picard were going to die. I didn't expect Picard to plug himself into what was left of the collective, but it made sense that it was the only way to reach Jack-in-the-Vox. I loved Data piloting by both computation and instinct and the look on his face was priceless. I loved Troi flying the ship using her link to Riker. And, yes, I was really happy with the poker game ending.
A damn fine send off for the Enterprise D and her main characters.

There is probably the mentality that adding new ships constantly makes it more enticing to watch.Why would it be easier OR cheaper to use a completely new CGi model vs. one that they already have?
I'm not gonna lie, Waffle House is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I freaking LOVE 24-hour diners.
They built them to last in that decade.
Hell, Picard's Stargazer was probably about 60 years old at the time it was reported lost in the Battle of Maxia but still a viable class of ship in the 2350s, enough so that one of Starfleet's most important and respected Captains was assigned to command her.
SNW is chock full of them (Enterprise! Pike! Kirk! Spock! Uhura! The Gorn! Smokin' hot Number One!)
About 50 is about right. I think it’s in non-canon sources that says the Constellation was launched in 2290.
And remember that Picard became respected and admired because of his time on Stargazer. Chicken and the egg scenario
I'm down!
Damn right I did!
I consider 24-hour diners the PEAK of fine dining. I've always hated fancy food, fancy restaurants, fancy pretty much anything.
I mean, it's not like I actually WOULD eat a full breakfast at 3 AM...but it's nice to know the option's on the table! Whether it be Waffle House in MO, South Street Diner in Boston, Fran's Restaurant in Toronto, or whatever...if it's 24/7, I'm there.
The Hathaway is a fellow Constellation-class starship and was launched in 2285 so the 2290 timeframe sounds right.
Miss Jane's family was very proud.
I know this would produce howls of gnashing teeth and ripped shirts, but it would be neat if there was an opportunity to subtly put one in the background of spacedock scenes in TVH or TUC
I'd do it.
Okay now that is an actual plot contradiction/glitch, I can’t explain that either
Oh, you know, it just occurred to me. It bothered me that the assimilated crew was taking the normal stations (including the captain's chair) and reporting in verbally that they'd seized the Titan, but of course. They'd have to. They were "assimilated" with receivers only, no ability to transmit thoughts. They'd have to communicate and coordinate with all the other Borg (aside from the Queen herself, giving the marching orders through Võx) conventionally. Which also means that the collective wouldn't be aware when they were subdued or captured if no one tipped them off.
The life times of those ship designs 100% make sense. The new aircraft carriers being built now are basically evolved versions of similar design from 1970. The B-52 will fly until its 90 years old.
Put in better computers, phasers warp engines and shields, how else should the hull designs of the Excelsior and Miranda be meaningfully different? Starfleet landed on two evergreen, highly upgradable, modular platforms. That's the dream of any system engineer and project manager.
It makes sense to do a clean sheet at some point, and post-Dominion war, given the advances in the 2360s and 2370s, is a perfect time to do it. But before then? Not at all. Heck, even the 2330s/2340s Ambasaddor class seems closer to Excelsior in technologies than Galaxy. The late 2350s/2360s Galaxy wasn't even really "done" cooking until Season 5 of TNG. which is 2368. It got upgrades every year until then. Big ones too, including a new warp core.
If technology didn't meaningfully get *that much* better to design a new ship around between 2395 and the laste 2350s, the longestivity of those 23rd century models is perfectly logical.
