I loved the Starfleet museum in last night's episode. But not so much the lab apparently containing James T Kirk's remains.

What was up with that? The rest of the easter eggs made some sense.

I suppose that's part of the reason it bugged me. What purpose would exhuming Kirk's body from whatever that planet was where he died in Generations? It's not like he was Picard, who had been Borg'ed and then brought back to humanity, and therefore might have been worth studying. Kirk was just a guy who died, nothing special. Plus it's kinda creepy in kind of a Japanese Camp 731 way.

Didn't they steal Picards body? I'll have to rewatch, I don't remember anything about kirks body?

He was one of the best captains in history, pretty much a miracle maker with unprecedented experience.

If I were Section 31 I might keep his DNA around to clone him in case some super villain comes back.

Would I do it? Does it make sense? Nah, but Section 31 isn't paid to sit back and relax I'm assuming

Kirks body was just one of the vaults they passed, along with the Genesis device and genetically modified tribbles.

Fun episode. This season isn't perfect, but it's light years ahead of the last one.

Ya I agree, I'm enjoying this season

I think this series has been really good. Every episode is ended with a cliff hanger

Very enjoyable. Who didn't love seeing the Band get together again?

Tasha Yar, where are you???

I rewatched a couple of episodes over the past few days and man, the Ro Laren parts are excellent. I think it's been the best bit of the season so far.

Holy crap, I actually caught all the way up with this series! And there's two new episodes left!

VERY pleased so far! This season has been a great ride so far!

While I enjoy seeing the gang back together again, I am glad this is the final season because CBS can only tug on the member berries for so long.

---

Speak for yourself, I wouldn't mind a couple more season now that the writers seem to have gotten the hang of it

That being said, yeah a spinoff with Seven, Jack, kid La Forge, some other young officers and maybe a couple of TNG folks as consultants is probably what will happen.

Make Reg Barclay a 2 star admiral that gives them orders.

---

And turns out to be the bad guy during some episode.
In traditional TNG fashion!

it is amazing what can happen when you give the fans what they want, and do it well
and you can still appeal to a new audience at the same time.

It really is! I was a huge Star Trek fan going back to the original series, the first movies - saw Wrath of Khan in the theater like 3 times when I was 13.

The Next Generation series more or less spanned my A&M years, and I enjoyed DS9 and Voyager as well.

When the reboot came out with Chris Pine, etc, I was SUPER pissed that it essentially rewrote all the canonical Star Trek lore that I'd grown up with. Never watched any of those sequels.

All this is to say that the Picard series feels like the natural evolution and continuation of the Star Trek I know.

Don't know about the original series, but TNG, DS9, and VOY are basically shows about highly efficient committee meetings where all the participants are contributing professionals.

It's basically showing the pinnacle of human bureaucracy, not science and exploration IMO. The West Wing in space basically, or vice versa.

Discovery was a disaster overall though it had it's moments. SNW and Picard season 3 is more coming back to that formula.

Can't wait to see what's got into Jack lately and literally, tonight.

I wish Ren Auberjonois was alive so he could cameo as Odo

This season has been fantastic, especially for the nostalgia and memberberries, but it also sucks because they could EASILY stretch this storyline into multiple seasons. Yet there is only one episode left.

In a lot of ways we just had this series' "Best of Both Worlds" part 1 last night. They certainly have quite a bit of stuff to deal with from this episode for the finale.

Ok, help me out here. So the borg ends up being the main villain this season, it seems. But I thought at the end of season 2, the borg with queen jurati are friends now? Didn't they even ask for membership into the federation? I have to be missing something.

That's the other timeline/dimension borg.

This timelines borg has been normal/evil all along.

Yeah I was hoping from something other than the borg

Nah. Shaw mentioned the Jurati-fied Borg earlier in the season and then said that the real Borg are still out there. So they're kind of just hand waving away the ending to last season which is fine with me. Give me old school Borg!

Am I the only one that thought this last episode sucked? After all the suspense the previous episodes and seasons, they revert back to the borg and the mother queen?!!

IMO the Borg being the big bad was a bit of a let down. I had hoped that the big bad was something of a combination of the Borg and the Dominion with how they present it. That would completely tie off the previous era (DS9 and TNG). With it just being the Borg I feel like we're getting a wrap up of TNG only regardless of other characters having been involved.

Enterprise F! Enterprise D! Shaw goes out like a G! I don't see how anyone could dislike this episode. It was lots of fun!
