btw,
With regards to s2, ep 1 started strong, kinda tng 2.0. Then the dystopian place in 2nd ep. The rest are filler and the final was okish. So i only really liked them 3 eps.
Why does Will use a transporter effect when he leaves, i thought he can travel by thought or something or presumed so, i wonder if he has his own ship then.

You enjoy poorly written, plodding storylines with plot holes big enough to drive a planet through? More power to ya.

It was great to see they went so indepth on the q illness.
One minute the Q are immortal, the next dying for unspecified reasons...most likely because the idiots they wrote this plodding pile of pig **** weren't clued into the fact he's meant to be immortal.

I knew that from the first episode. The trick was always to switch the brain off before watching and just enjoy the ride.
The Q scene at the end was a nice touch.
Enjoying the ride in this was akin to straddling a tortoise and expecting to be blown away by the speed.

Story could have been told in 2 hours, definitely not 10.

Oh, my expectations were rock bottom after that god awful first season. To be fair, they only had to open their mouths and my expectations were exceeded.
anyone hoping for a well written show are living in the wrong decade.

Could have got all that done in a few episodes for crying out loud. That final episode was actually decent compared to the filler crap. Glad it’s all over really.

First season was better. This took all the best of ST(Q, Borg, Picard etc) and **** on them. ST peaked at TNG and is now just trash.

It’s annoyed me … they’ve wasted the two best characters (Q and the Borg) in some best friends forever BFF nonsense and left themselves no wiggle room to use them again.
Even Rios who was one of the better characters has been written off.
And just lol at Wesley Crusher.. As soon as he showed up I knew they just wanted to milk the fan service goat one more time.

Great finale, albeit everything coming together so perfectly was a little convenient.
Q - the actor isn't getting any younger, so I thought it was a perfect conclusion for Picard and Q.
Raffi/Seven - seemed a little forced. Much like Doctor Who and Yaz, there was nothing for a long time, then in a few episodes, they're sticking tongues down each others throats. Mind you, Seven still knows how to turn it on! Nom nom nom.
Wesley - really good to see him back on his own terms, he got a rough ride in TNG and irl. Can someone explain how he became part of the travellers/watchers?
Khan report - does that fit in with ST lore that Soong was responsible for creating? Interesting and possible set up for another show? Or it crosses over into SNW?
Agnes - not happy that the Borg are now BFF with the federation, but was an interesting twist. Anyone else think Agnes looked a little weird as the Borg queen? She looked more like a 10 year old boy than a 400 year old being.
The aim of it all - the whole thing did seem a little over the top just to get them all to team up and hold back the galactic event!

In TNG he was said to be this super child prodigy, by The Traveller. I guess he just got taken on by them.
A perfect conclusion for q and picard? Seriously? A previously immortal being suddenly "ill" and dying and absolutely no reason for it? The writing was so lazy they couldn't come up with a reason how an immortal being suddenly stopped being that.
Yes, seriously.
John De Lancie is 74 years old, i wouldn't like to see him in his 80's playing Q. Q was a big part of TNG and him and Picards chemistry were some of the best TNG episodes for me.
So, why not have one last game with each other, but this time doing it for Picard instead of his own amusement?
If we could live forever, then i'm all for keeping Q going, but unfortunately that isn't real life, so i found it a fitting goodbye for Q. That being said, we didn't actually see him die, maybe he didn't die or maybe it was another game, who knows?! But for me i thought it was a touching moment between the characters.

Yeah the moment was nice but the writing was pathetic, you don't take a character known for being immortal then suddenly have him dying and not give a reason. You also don't need to kill characters off as before tng the Q were totally unknown, could easily have said they might have lost their interest in humans and are bugging other races.
It's half assed writing at best, they introduce the character and obviously only had a vague idea of what to do with him besides bring him back for fan service and it seemed any ideas stopped at that point and they just winged it.

And on another note, 2 seasons in and the current enterprise has yet to make an appearance. No doubt something else the mensa society scripting this show overlooked.

You dont just write massive plot holes in to a story to suit the actors playing characters getting old. Better to not approach those characters at all than ham fist your way though a crap storyline.
