Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPatrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes are the only actors to appear in every episode of the series.
- GoofsThe anti-time anomaly is increasing going back in time, thus it is decreasing as we go forward in time. Therefore it must exist when the "old" Picard goes to look for it and it will cease to exist in the future. The statement that it was created in the past six hours would not be possible.
- Quotes
[last line of the series]
Capt. Picard: So, five-card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit.
- Alternate versionsThere are two versions available on video (UK). One on the series tapes with both parts appearing as separate episodes, the other as a re-edited feature length 'movie'. The latter has additional footage including an additional appearance by Q in the old Picard's bedroom just before he goes to 10 forward with new theories regarding the anomaly. This version makes more sense as you see where Picard gets his theory from.

Featured review
One of the best final episodes for a TV series
Your reading this for one of possibly two reasons:
A) You want to know how others feel about this final episode that you've also seen or,..
B) You have no idea about Star Trek
Given the popularity of this series, I'll assume "A" is your reason. However, if your the rare "B" person, then I recommend avoiding this episode until you've watched at least a few episodes of The Next Generation.
This wonderful 2-hour finale utilizes the history of these characters and plots beautifully and with reverence.
The lead character of the series, Jean Luc Picard, finds that he is inexplicably shifting between 3 time periods within his own liftime (past, present and future). Once he finds the reason for this, things become more complex and intriguing. His eyes are opened to an even greater threat than what he had perceived to be his own. As wonderful a premise that is, the subplots greatly enhance the characters and draw you into the story.
For example, Tasha Yar, a well regarded character in the series was killed early in the shows run. In his shift into the past, Picard once again sees her alive, accompanying him to the Enterprise for the first time (again, ironically). Once he returns to the present, he laments over having seen her again. A beautifully played little scene.
The main story combined with these subplots makes for one of the best written series endings ever in TV history.
Let's hope that future TV series (not necessarily Trek, of course) have the opportunity to do the same.
