Past, present and future collide for Captain Picard as he finds himself bouncing around through three different time periods -- the Farpoint mission, the present, and the future in which many changes have affected the Enterprise-D crew. Meanwhile, the mischievous Q is back for his last time trying to help Picard figure out the meaning of a spatial anomaly - or is he only making things worse? You be the judge on this two-hour TV movie which concludes Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).Written by

Beverly thinks that because of the accumulation of acetylcholine in Picard's brain, he now has about two days worth of new memories. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter, which - aside from its functions in the activation of muscles - is rather associated with the short-term memory, which lasts no longer than several seconds to a minute.

Quotes
[first lines]
Counselor Deanna Troi:
[exiting the holodeck]
That was an incredible program!
Lieutenant Worf:
I am glad you approve. I have always found the Black Sea at night to be a most stimulating experience.
Counselor Deanna Troi:
Worf - we were walking barefoot on the beach, with balalaika music in the air, ocean breeze washing over us, stars in the sky, a full moon rising - and the most you can say is "stimulating"?
Lieutenant Worf:
It was... *very* stimulating.

Alternate Versions
There 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. See more »
The final episode of Star Trek: TNG is my absolute favorite episode of the series. In my opinion it is better than "Best of Both Worlds". The series ended where it began, in more ways than one. It went back to the first mission of the Enterprise-D and scored the No. 1 position in the ratings. A masterpiece.
