Featured reviews
Kurtzman should write a book titled, How to Bring Star Trek to Its Knees in 10 Episodes or Less. The Borg is now kindly absorbing only those who have no meaningful life and who voluntarily give permission to be consumed (assisted suicide anyone?). Q is no longer god-like and immortal; silly us, he was benevolent not malignant all along, just a kidder.
Kurtzman is an idiot. The people who hired him are idiots. And the people who let him stay on for Season 3 are idiots.
And I loved that they gave Wesley a comeback. I had wanted to see his story as a Traveler, and it was never shown. I hope he reappears in season 3 somehow.
I do wish that we had seen what happened with Seven and Chakotay. I loved Robert Beltran and was disappointed when he wasn't in this series. That romance had such potential. Oh well... Just glad that Geri Ryan was included. Seven and Q are definitely two of the most interesting characters in the Star Trek franchise.
Whatever flaws the Picard series may have, I'm still enjoying it!
Overall a good finale, in any case significantly better than season one as was the whole season.
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first time that Jean-Luc Picard indicates that he considers Q a friend. In Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), Jean-Luc Picard always viewed Q as an annoyance and a nuisance who is always testing humanity via the USS Enterprise D Crew, mostly for his own amusement, as if the USS Enterprise D and her crew are his own personal crew, before moving on to the USS Voyager for Star Trek: Voyager (1995).
- GoofsTallinn's American accent constantly fluctuates into actress Orla Brady's natural Irish accent.
- Quotes
Q: You considered destroying it, didn't you? Well, let me ask, if that key's not there for the boy to find, does he grow up with his mother? Does the shame instantly lift? But you accepted your fate. You accepted *you*. You chose the Jean-Luc you are. You absolved yourself. And because you choose him, perhaps he will now be worthy enough for someone else to choose. Maybe this time, you will even give him the chance to be loved. I told you this was about forgiveness, Jean-Luc: yours.
Jean-Luc Picard: Why?
Q: Well, isn't that the eternal question? Know thyself.
Jean-Luc Picard: There's been so much loss. So much death.
Q: But you fixed all that.
Jean-Luc Picard: Elnor. Tallinn.
Q: Well... maybe not all of it. But Tallinn always dies in every timeline. This is the only one in which she meets Renee.
Jean-Luc Picard: I ask you once again, why?
Q: Finish the sentence.
Jean-Luc Picard: Me. From the very beginning, for over 30 years... why me?
Q: [hesitates] I am moving on. In your parlance, I am dying.
Jean-Luc Picard: Yes, I know.
Q: Alone. I am dying alone. I do not want that for you. Humans... your griefs, your pains, fix you to moments in the past long gone. You're like butterflies with your wings pinned. My old friend, forever the boy who, with an errant turn of a skeleton key, broke the universe in his own heart. No more. You are now unshackled from the past. As I leave, I leave you free.
Jean-Luc Picard: But... why does all this matter? Is something going to happen for which I will be required?
Q: Must it always have galactic import? Universal stakes, celestial upheaval? Isn't one life enough? You ask me why it matters. It matters to me.
[leans forward and takes Picard's face in his hands]
Q: You matter to me. Even gods have favorites, Jean-Luc. And you've always been one of mine.
