I thought the season as a whole was alright, and gradually declined in quality as it went on. The first few episodes, before he sets off for space, when the show was almost a government conspiracy thriller, were the most gripping for me, while the second half of the show was very standard Trek sci-fi, with characters popping in and out (both in terms of location and motivation) as and when they needed to with no real logical narrative flow.

I’m happy others here enjoyed it a lot, I had just been hoping they’d be going down a different route.

So, all in all thought it was a very good finale and I have genuinely loved the series.

The ending seemed to push for a narrative logic that the show itself than ignored. I’m confused

Watched the last two EPs.

The ending was phoned in for the whole episode, still an excellent finale.

Riker part was ace.

Roll on season 2!

I quite enjoyed the season! Though I will agree with the up-thread comment that the ending seemed rushed, especially given the slow start to the series. The ending was a little bit of an odd fit, but I don't want to write anything since I don't remember how to use spoiler tags...

@Malankazoozie - I read that it is free to watch if you sign up for CBS All-Access, you don't have to pay, but you need an account to watch (I believe courtesy of Patrick Stewart).

Finished, enjoyed.

I have never been a hard core Trek fan. I was entertained, not bored, surprised at least a little a few times, I'll take that.

Loved the ship, loved the small crew as a concept... Jurati was mostly annoying, Romulan ninja guy was silly, verging on unnecessary, but I liked everyone else and it was fun to see 7o9 again.

Am onboard for S2.

As the video is "unavailable", is it the same as this?

The Stargazer, Paradise Lost, The Enterprise D, the ancient Bajoran tablet from the DS9 'The Reckoning' episode, and Q's line about "The Trial Never stops"...yeah, we time travelling bitches!

YES! He was on the panel with Wil and Stewart and he looks amazing for his age. I CANNOT wait to see these two acting together again as these characters. This also explains another reason why Stewart personally asked Whoopi to reprise Guinan in S2....Q was TERRIFIED of Guinan.

Yeah, they were only uploading them to FB video initially and pulling any and all YouTube links for copyright...no idea why they had such a hard-on for FB video...and yours is down now too.

Paramount+ YouTube has it now:

One happy TRB here!

As an aside - I haven't seen any recent photos of John de Lancie before this trailer. Dude really suits his grey!

Right? Is it me or is the whole TNG cast aging really well, like they drank some youth elixir?!
