Journey's End

I'm surprised that TNG of all shows would so easily subscribe to the evil belief that the actions of one's ancestors centuries in the past is the responsibility of their completely innocent descendent. This is a very disturbing and problematic attitude to hold.

Really, really deep spiritual episode, messages and dialogues with symbology and meaning, The native cultures and their ancient wisdom connect with the modern-future cultures and their technological intellect, both make peace and unite for universal Peace. We get to see too the start of humanity's next stage of spiritual evolution. Fantastic!

Was not so bad episode but... Shut up, Wesley ! Wesley really broke my... bells in this episode ! Also, they could find a better way to get rid of him. I wish they could digitally replace him from the beginning till this episode ! I know is the fault of the directors and writers for this character. I liked and like Wil Wheaton more in other films and series.

An episode that is filled with terrible stereotypes and toxic political beliefs. All native-american characters are treated as spiritual mystics rather than regular human beings. They call them "Indian North Americans" because they are unable to name even a single Native American tribe. Usually The Next Generation is fair an even-handed, but this episode presents cringe-inducing and toxic theories such as generational guilt.

The worst episode of an excellent show.

I cringed every time They said the word "Indian". Couldn't they have come up with a specific tribe? Even when this was written in 1995 the word "Indian" was an unacceptable way to reference a specific tribe of Native Americans. Why would a Picard have an ancestor who was Spanish when Picard is French???
