So in the end Picard and Crusher end up together, as do Riker and Troi...arguably both relationships that were in play as early as the pilot episode of TNG.
Given how things ultimately evolved between the four of them, how do we feel about Picard-Crusher and Riker-Troi?
Personally I'm kind of okay with how Riker-Troi ended up. I don't really like their relationship per se (Troi-Worf was a lot more interesting to me), but "Nepenthe" does a really nice job of showing how they've built a life together (indeed, it kind of bugged me how S3 semed to unwind some of that).
I'm not really a fan of how Picard-Crusher turned out. Jack doesn't really do anything for me, and it feels a bit too much like Jim Kirk and Carol Marcus...except that Kirk at least knew David existed and kept his distance because Carol asked him to.
