Good post. The season just gets sillier the more you think about it. |

Was hoping to see the entire TNG cast surrounding Data and holding his hand in

More of the TNG cast would be good. Every scene they were in got better. |

They acted as though the main cast had earned or achieved some credibility in our hearts and minds by the end of the finale, but, all they did was reinforce how much I wanted to see more of TNG cast. That's one of the biggest problems with using nostalgia to artificially prop up your show when it's convenient, because now we're left with that horrid cast, and not enough was done to establish why we should like them. As a group, I find them largely unlikable. |

Indeed. They really were very unlikable. I liked the holograms, but they were just secondary characters at best. |

That actor showed a lot of talent in portraying them, and the concept is decent in general (they even explained why they all look like Rios) but, I did not like how they played the scene with the five of them sitting around being interrogated by Raffi for comedy. |

This thing is great! I'm through the first six and I'm completely in love. |

Ep 7 is amazing. That was pitch perfect. For years I've thought that the show I wanted was the Picard show. Turns out what I really want more than anything is the Troi/Riker gardening and home cooking show! |

That finale was absolute perfection. In this era of money grabs and reboots, there hasn't been anything so true, faithful, and pure to the original intention. I'm still crying and I think I will be for a while. Elegant. Profound. Human. I'm so sad Gene didn't live to see this perfect execution of his vision. |

Someone text Joe and tell him his account was hacked by Alex Kurtzman. |

I can say without any doubt that Gene would have hated Picard. Not to imply you are wrong for liking it but yeah that wasn't his Star Trek. |

The themes/message and wrap up of the finale. Obviously, he had issues with TNG and on. And there's a lot about Picard that he would have hated and disowned. But where it lands, what the final two hours end up being about gets to the heart of his dream/vision better than almost any Star Trek I've seen. |

I'm thinking about how to reply. I could go on and on about everything wrong with the finale but....you love it....so why would I try to convince you otherwise. I'm glad you loved it buddy! |
