    Riker's Island

    Marina Sirtis stole the show. What a beautifully emotional performance. Jonathan Frakes was right there too, he hasn't lost a step in that character. They've both beautifully evolved. And how often are we annoyed by some offspring that's brought between characters we love? (I'm looking at you Mutt Williams). The young girl was fantastic, dynamic and charismatic. This was a perfect episode with the Riker family.

    the gift

    For this so touching meeting , I am very grateful. It is the prize erasing many sins and mistakes and artificial / not inspired solutions. Because it is like a return to home for a viewer of Star Trek Next Generation. And because it is a beautiful hommage to a legendary serie and its audience. So, the best episode.

    Back to the past

    Any fan of Star Trek Next Generation will be teary-eyed face this emotional episode !

    We find with pleasure and nostalgia Will and Deanna, whose destiny and characters are better treated than those of Seven of Nine previously.

    The ship's crew is also treated with more intelligence and depth, so that when the writers want they can make good stories true to the Star Trek spirit.

    As long as the series remains on this path !

      When Picard helps himself to Riker's bottle of wine, he picks it up with his right hand and has his left at his side. Then the shot changes and now his left hand is in his pocket.
    • Quotes

      Will Riker: So I'm just going to speculate, and say out loud what's in my brain. You don't have to tell me anything. How's that sound?

      Will Riker: You're worried about the cloaks. That says Romulans. The level of anxiety and fear for our safety? It's got to be the Tal Shiar. You're not the one they're after, it's her. What has poor Soji done to incur their wrath? Could it have anything to do with the fact that she's clearly an android? And not just any android. I recognize that head tilt. She's got Data in her DNA. How am I doing?

      Jean-Luc Picard: Not bad, for a pizza chef.
