Nope.
Boimler could be promoted all the way up to fleet admiral, and I will never get that cursed image out of my mind.
No, I just have high standards.Your first time with a mystery box?
Or those meddling kids from the Voyager-A, and their slime creature too.
I just realized. One episode left. I'm really going to miss this show. I really wish that we could have gotten this much sooner. I'll miss the old crew and the D all over again. But so glad we got it again..
At least we're getting SNW on June 15th.
Every 15 years or so the Stones go on a new final tour.
Unfortunately it's a big yep. I was so looking forward to this season based on early reviews from youtubers whose opinions I've respected prior to this, along with my own love of TNG and the hopes that they'd give them a great send off. Nostalgia is a powerful weapon. The band back together. If I were a betting man (which I am) I'll guarantee you that so many Star Trek fans will watch this again in a few years time and go, "what was I thinking?"
Posting in what will become a legendary thread:
WOW. What an episode. Don’t have anything new to say that hasn’t already been discussed but this might just be the best Star Trek episode in 24 years.

I loved seeing the Enterprise again; I genuinely did, to a certain extent. It was a hollow experience ultimately though because it's not like when Kirk saw the Enterprise in TMP. It doesn't have that impact because there's people dying now, right now, and we all know why. Get on with it.
And if I listed my other grievances with the episode we'd be here awhile. So poor.

As you say, nostalgia is a powerful weapon. This episode would have gotten a 2 or a 3 tops from me without the Enterprise D, but even I was pulled in by that, and so it got more than it was deserved based upon my genuine love for the glory days of TNG and all that was within it.
As we've seen, though, nostalgia is a funny thing. Give it 5 years, and a few people might say "meh, the last season was kind of shit." Give them 10 years, a whole slew of new series, and suddenly people will long for the days of Picard season 3 and its touch of home. It's cyclical.
For some people, reliving the best days of TNG with a new threat was more than enough to make this the best Star Trek they've ever watched, and that's perfectly okay. You won't feel that way, I won't feel that way, and others won't, but that's the beauty of it: we can dislike the direction the series took, and it doesn't really affect us outside of the normal fan issues we have with such things.
Look at all of the happy people, though. Look at how happy so many here are, how much it moved them, how many it brought to tears, and that's not even counting the series finale.
So in the end it won't really matter. Just take the best you can from it and let the rest go (outside of discussion, of course, otherwise there'd be no point in reruns).
The fleet was already assimilated. The D is their only chance and yeah they had a bit of as awe reaction but they need to plan anyway. So there was no rush at the time.
The drop became the ocean.
He did say in E1 that he has to pee more!
They probably have a rule, general order 47, that says: When you see a Borg ship, run to your nearest Captain and tell them.
As I said in another thread, on paper, I would have LAUGHED at this script. You can't air this! Well son of a Tribble they did it anyway. I saw that last scene with the TNG crew on THEIR OG bridge, and the story disappeared. I didn't care what it was about, I just thought of the reaction of the actors when they first saw it. How emotional that must have been. Incredible. Stupid but sheer incredible.
Patrick's joke about the carpet was perfect, absolutely perfect. Because the fourth wall came down and that's what made it so cool. The writing/directing has been really superb. They've allowed these actors to essentially bring so much of their personal relationships with each other to the forefront.
It meant a lot to me. TNG was one of the few shining lights in my crap life to be honest. TNG was a comfortable place to go when I was a kid to get away from my troubles. Seeing the old ship and the crew on that bridge brought that comfort back. I'll never tire of it or change my mind. It means too much to me.
No, we'll never change how others ingest media and accept or don't accept it, but we can still voice our opinions. And I don't come from a place or anger or hate. I'm just sad. Never want to attack other fan's opinions but want to understand why they think this is a good show. As I've said prior to this, it was awful from the start and just getting worse.
So… did they recreate more sets for the finale next week?… (Defiant, Voyager, NX-01, more rooms on the D)
