The more I consider my thoughts I really don't like the Enterprise being slapped onto the Titan. I feel like a ship's accomplishments matter and the Titan what they were up against and what they managed to do doesn't really deserve being taken away from it.

I mean obviously they have the bridge constructed, they have the corridor and sets so the intention would be to launch a series in the future and they want the Enterprise name and not the Titan name, but still feels lame.

I agree, SO they are just gonna name the Old Enterprise F Titan?
 
It's weird that they were retiring the Enterprise-F so grandly, but for the G they just said, "Um, that one over there! That'll do."
I fully expected the F's decommissioning to be caused by the conspiracy, and promptly reversed at the end.
Perhaps this explains how the F is "new" in 2409 in STO? The G is outta the way and the F back in action?

I'm on record, I like the Titan, but not as a major hero ship. I can tolerate it for a time but as a brand new ship taking over a potential Spinoff (at this point I hope not), hell no. Just this tedious renaming again, and the "Constitution III" branding. What wasted potential to have a great designer set the design pattern for the 25th century like Eaves did in 1996. Bloody awful.
 
How's Laris getting on by the way? How about Troi and Rikers other offspring? Changelings were all on the one ship with Vadic? How's Starfleet? Appalling stuff.

I feel like the whole Borg transporter code thing ignored just how prevalent transporters were used ON EARTH to move around. I fail to see why the Changelings wouldn't have uploaded the code there as well, but it seems like they just talked about it in the context of ships.
 
A perfectly cromulent episode of Star Trek. Better than the second part of the vast majority of TNG two-parters. Better than Nemesis. Not as good as All Good Things. I was entertained, and some of the emotional moments were indeed touching. This wasn't the conclusion I wanted, TBH, but the die was cast regarding that in the previous episode, and nothing was done here which made anything worse - it just drove forward towards its foreordained conclusion, where the good guys win and everything is solved with a minimal body count (among those who we care about anyway, explosions offscreen don't count).

The decision to have Q in the post-credit scene was perplexing to me. Yes, I can understand that it doesn't "undo" his death, since Q's personal experience of death may be in the future. But it was a curious coda on a season which seemed determined to erase/deflate essentially everything that Picard Seasons 1 and 2 put in. Ultimately the only coherent thing across the entire show was Raffi's arc towards rebuilding her life/reconciling with her son - absolutely everything else was ignored, undermined, or retconned. You could tell this was an idea Terry Matalas had on his shelf for years that he just awkwardly ported into an already existing show.

Regardless, it is decent closure for the TNG cast as a whole, and I do think it helps to undo the sour finish that Nemesis provided. I just wish that there was something more interesting than the tired, half-decayed, madly cackling Borg Queen behind it all. It was...fine...I was just hoping for a deeper story, and deeper themes than what we got, which was ultimately an above-average action-adventure with some nostalgic feels.
 
The Titan already had a convoluted history enough with that nonsensical refit, but calling it the Enterprise now? Bizarre decisions all around.

And Jack somehow regressing as a character in his final scenes? I know they were just trying to inject some humour and levity into the finale, but it felt like a discount version of Pine’s Kirk.

Overall it was fine. Some good scenes sprinkled through a plot that made absolutely no sense, capped off with a final scene that was nice, but only served to remind me how much better All Good Things was.

The less said about Q the better.
 
HA! They did the last 45 minutes or so of “Return of the Jedi” they just switched the roles of Father and Son.

about the only part I didn’t like was the last bit with Seven, Raffi and Jack. Way too much of a fan fic…WAY too much. Renaming the Titan the Enterprise is…a choice. Make it a fresh ship but the same design.

did appreciate the Koening cameo.

LOVE that Q isn’t dead.

9/10
 
Had some good action, enjoyed the Seven scenes a lot, but overall an incredibly meh ending. The show fell off a cliff after Vadic died and never recovered. I don't think I'll be revisiting this season, maybe if the Legacy series happens.

Jack became Rios for his final scene. Surprised he didn't pop out a cigar when he sat in the chair.

I actually think it's possible Q is dead, but the version of him that died last year was from a 'later point' in his own existence. He may have simply wanted one last go with Jean-Luc Picard so that version last year could be from decades or centuries later.
 
It was weird having Worf fall asleep. Being a Klingon, he’s still relatively young compared to the other TNG crew.
 
At least make the 'G' one of Bill Krause's other designs if they were set on using one of his ships, like the Endurance for example. He even did a mock-up of what it'd look like with late 24th century nacelles, and even the deflector array lines up with the newer modified season 2 Inquiry-class: https://twitter.com/BuckAdmiral/status/1589448314260705282

Here's a better question: how did the remnants of the Borg even get in touch with the rogue changelings?
