Okay, before I tear the concluding episode of all Star Trek television a new nacelle, let me state for the record that it isn’t horrible. And, yes, it is kinda fun to see Riker and Troi again. Kinda.
It just seems odd and wrong that the final episode isn’t about he NX-01, but is actually a footnote from an already existing TNG episode. Truth be told, it took me a minute to remember the episode Pegasus – and to go back there in my mind just seemed kinda awkward. Funny that Malcolm should use the phrase “All Good Things,” as that truly is the only final episode that really, really knocked it out of the park.
I mean – of all the things for Trip to sacrifice himself on? A few random pirates out of nowhere? Saving Shran’s daughter? Just so. . .odd! Ugh – now I’m getting all angry!
As well you should!
This was the most dreadful series finale EVER! The last thing you want to do is leave a bad taste in your fans’ mouths as your parting shot. What’s worse, apparently Berman & Co. never learned the lesson of “Nemesis.” Didn’t they figure out why it grossed under $50 mil at the box office? They made the same mistake here.
