Until someone writes and films it.
She was shot at point-blank range by drones operating under orders to kill any non-assimilated personnel. There is no plausible way she survived.
The only possible scenario where Shelby survived is if Shelby wasn't the one we saw being killed on the viewscreen and that was actually a Changeling impersonating Shelby who was shocked that the drones were targeting her too. But there's no way the person we saw on the viewscreen survived.
Can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve watched the last 10 mins.
I did Shaw's death and her interaction with Seven a bit off. He called her Annika since he hated the Borg and he is, dying from the Borg and he called her Seven? It feels a bit off.
What I would have done is have Seven say that you can call me Annika just before he dies. That would have been a sweeter moment between the two.

I strongly disagree. Shaw needed to address her as Seven to represent his willingness to let go of his prejudice and respect Seven's autonomy as a person and thereby redeem himself from his emotionally abusive behavior.

Before I dive in, I just watched the episode, and my first questions are.
1) if they hadn't forced Jack to open the door, would he have gone to the Borg in time to allow the takeover to happen as planned?
2) Did anyone notice that Data and Geordi were at the wrong consoles?
3) How have the Borg not been heard from in ten years, considering the events of the first two seasons? And yet they locked down Frontier day as 2401 by confirming it was the launch of the NX-01 they were celebrating.

It was closer to earlier configuration of the TNG Bridge.
They were talking about the collective proper, not splinter cells.
I whispered, My Friends, We've Come Home as they arrived on the bridge.
I got emotional, with a big smile, through the entire sequence.
And I disliked that ship. And haven't revisited the show since Generations. I like these characters now more than I have in 20 years. It gave me nostalgia for something I thought I disliked. (It was the plotting, pacing, preachiness of TNG, and the way they disrespected TOS, that I had a problem with. I always liked individual characters, Data, Worf, Pulaski (don't laugh), The Borg, etc, but never the whole package.) Wrapping this show in a TOS movie tribute has shown me all of it in a new light. Still impressed.
Wasn't Data always at ops, to the right, and Geordi, when he was on the bridge originally, was the pilot, to the left? It would have been geordi plotting the course and "Engage!"ing, not Data.
Data and Geordi were in the correct locations. However, the functions of the consoles definitely switched as Data's station doesn't control the helm, yet he's flying into the Borg ship manually anyway. But then the Enterprise likely allows for functions to be switched to different consoles on computer request.
It swapped at least once I think but someone more knowledgeable than I could probably correct me.
In Farpoint and All Good Things past bits, right? In AGT O'Brien's driving from Ops and Data's on the other side.
In season 1 they swapped the consoles several times with no clear reason.
It does, that was the whole in-universe point of the proto-multitouch "black panels with touch sensitive controls" look. The panels could be reconfigured at will. You could set the helm controls to be literally anywhere aboard ship if you really wanted to. We also see Data definitely sharing helm control on previous occasions – most notably he seems to be piloting the Enterprise saucer's descent to the surface of Veridian III in Star Trek: Generations ("I have rerouted auxiliary power to the lateral thrusters, attempting to level our descent").
Yup. The TNG TM points out you could fly the ship from a PADD while walking down a corridor if you want to do so.
Just to segue for a moment, I know TOS gets all the "it predicted mobile phones" noise from people, but TNG really did get the idea of computer-generated touch-sensitive interfaces spot on. I know this seems mundane to us in our post-iPhone/iPad world, but most of the computers that the viewing public would have been familiar with in 1987, if they were familiar with computers at all, would have been little more than glorified electronic typewriters. The TNG TM talks about PADDs and tricorders having "transceiver arrays" and "short-range RF data links" to form "an integrated network of computers, subprocessors, and panels", which, unnecessarily wordy Star Trek technobabble aside, is literally describing a modern Wi-Fi environment before that term even existed.
I know. It's still like everyone over the rank of Captain is a couple of dilithium crystals short of a warp drive.
Shaw made Seven captain, so it was her job to stay with the ship.
