Didn't Wesley show up in Season 2 and he's some kind of weird time travelling policeman or some gooseberry fool? I wonder if he'll turn up in the finale to help out given this is only happening as Q strawberry floated with the timeline

This would have happened regardless of Q's actions in Season 2. Jack had been linked to the Borg since birth, way before the stuff with Q, and this plan had absolutely been in the works for years.

Jack was born before 2024? :shock:

I wonder if they can manage to shoehorn in Nelix as a super bad guy somehow.

We didn't see the face of the enemy so it could be him :shifty:

Definitely a sustained dip from the heights of the first few episodes, but this is still very enjoyable fan service!

Feels like they've left themselves with a hell of a lot to do in the final episode though, given how slowly things progressed in the last few it feels like they could have tweaked the pacing of the season better, but I suspect they had various pressures which made compressing a lot into the end necessary (casting schedules etc. not to mention the fact that I suspect it took a gooseberry fool load of work to rebuild the bridge of the Enterprise D as well! Wonder if we'll see anything else like Engineering or the conference room?! :wub:

Probably the best ending we were going to get given the set up. Still not good/great (and to be honest you'll almost be able to guess the major plot beats, there's very little that's a surprise here), but lightyears beyond s1/s2

There's not really much to add to what Hexx said. It's a shame they weren't a lot braver at the end, they should have had some big name deaths but overall it was alright.

You really don't need deaths for something to be good. Let something have a positive ending for a change.

I didn't say you need deaths to be good. But it was really predictable and obvious all the way through that they'd all get out of it.

I forgot to mention before but I absolutely adored that finale. Really good ending to honestly a series that I didn't think was going to get one. Pretty much perfect sendoff for all the characters involved.

I thought the last episode was a lot of fun. This season took a little bit of a dive between the halfway point and the last ep but it kind of pulled back up at the end for me personally.

At the risk of being incredibly basic, I didn't really want any surprises or exploration of realistic consequences -- much like Qikz I just wanted them to send off the characters in a respectful way and they did that.

I strongly agree with Hexx that Legacy will really suffer from having Raffi on the bridge instead of Shaw. Season 3 Raffi is way better than the melodramatic worm-woman she was in the first two seasons but she's still pretty annoying. She could work at tactical but I think she's going to be unbearable as first officer.

However, I am cautiously optimistic about the line-up of Jack, Seven, and Sidney with a possible recurring role for Tuvok. I think there's the core of a likeable cast there.

Oh, and if Q is back properly, as a kind of TNG-style omnipotent, self-important poltergeist, instead of fedora-wearing misogynist Q from Voyager and/or whatever was going on with him in Picard season 2 then that's great too.

3x10- Yeah nothing surprising but it was a satisfying finale and that's the most important thing for the last episode of a series.

Apparently the showrunner has already come up with a way for Shaw to be in the spin-off show if it gets green-lit. :lol:

Also- the post credit scene made me burst out laughing.

I loved every minute of that. The whole season has been a delight from start to finish. Not perfect, but I absolutely adored it.

EDIT: Q! How did I forget him. Wonderful return from him and looks like there may be more in his future. I just hope Legacy, or whatever they call it does something different from SNW. I don't think 2 shows doing the same type of episodes is a great idea. I imagine Legacy will remain story-Arc focused, while SNW does the "planet of the week" stuff.

EDIT EDIT: This whole season just felt like a big warm TNG hug. Especially towards the end and it really worked for me. I was actually giggling whenever the Enterprise was doing it's thing. I just strawberry floating loved it. It may be my favourite Trek season. :wub:

Yeah a solid, nostalgia filled end to a series that really turned things around after a shaky start and even shakier season 2.

Interesting read here about how according to IMDB data the uptick from S2 to S3 is the biggest improvement in any multi-season scripted show ever, which seems plausible given just how bad that second season was!

Terry said that legacy isn't happening, at least any time soon anyways but yeah I can't wait to see it if it does happen.

Quite enjoyed it. I kind of wonder how it would go down with non Trek fans though. They seemed to bail on the plot half way through the episode for an extended epilogue and what amounts to a trailer for another show that may never actually get made.

They managed to do a show where most of the plot threads had a point and it was well written.

Great great series overall 10/10 for every season
Not sure why some people are so critical :fp:

just enjoy it it's Star Trek at the end of the day

Can't wait for the next series with Seven as the main character I presume!!

The whole world must feel so amazing to someone who thinks Picard S2 is a 10!
