Like all leaders and bosses, he probably did very little if any of the work himself. Most likely took credit for work teams of people under his command did.

​@@anicetunewhat? Geordi took 20 years to rebuild it what are you on about

As cool an ending as it made it, I still think restoring it was completely implausible. All the lower decks would have been compacted, the spaceframe warped, etc. I just don't see any way the ship could ever be made whole again. Maybe a whole different retired Galaxy-class ship that had been made up to exactly match the Enterprise, with some salvaged Enterprise components, but not the Enterprise herself. Then again, I guess if they took a decommissioned saucer and basically grafted its entire lower half onto the Enterprise saucer, it could work. And the bridge module is meant to be replaceable. There were a lot of surplus Galaxy-class ships and components after the Dominion War, with them being churned out 60% empty inside and used purely as gunboats. I'd imagine most would have been decommissioned immediately after the war and not finished, because the Galaxy-class was, by this time, rather obsolescent.

Apparently if I remember correctly, bridges are modules that can be popped out and replaced. He probably replaced it with another one.

@@steveleeart He must have because the bridge had been updated between the end of the show and Generations to have additional stations, the captain and officers chairs elevated, Worf's spot finally got a chair etc (out of universe this was done to better dress up the set for a film and make the set dividers less obvious) but in Picard it's got the regular tv show bridge set up again. While this is obviously for nostalgia's sake it's quite likely Geordi just reinstalled an older bridge module rather than both repair it manually and also set it back to how it was prior to that upgrade.

Who else read that in Picard's voice? ... with the slightly deeper sounding part in the middle of "exaggerated"

*enterprise crew returns to the bridge* Crew: we missed you, old friend Enterprise D: and I missed you. Let's go have one last adventure together.

@@SandmanGotBeer "Well this is a new ship, but she's got the right name. Now you remember that, you hear? You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home."

Somehow, Enterprise D returned.

@@docjanak a plot twist that was thought to be improbable, yet was done rationally and respectfully.

Commander Riker: "Speak for yourself sir, I plan to live forever."

Amen

@@ericmadsen9655 That's Riker's inner Xanatos speaking

That is one of my favorite Star Trek quotes of all time!

A reviewer by the name of SFDebris pointed out a problem with this quote. Specifically the idea of Time being a 'companion'. "But I'd rather believe that Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. Reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again." What makes this odd is that time is the reason moments will never come again. To paraphrase SFD, it's like having someone kick you in the face to remind you that you don't like being kicked in the face.

Or Picard said to him, "There you go, Will. Have at it!" 😁

@@Sovereign01 kek

My deceased sister immediately quipped on Rikers “I always thought I’d have a shot at this chair one day” with “why don’t you just take it with you?” I was ten, dying laughing.

Camacho Hensley sorry about your sister

One i've learned to live by.

final episodes of DS9, 5 years later

I agree with Picard that the life lived is more important

"speak for yourself, I plan to live forever", crap quote

I’m sure the curlan nescar would agree! Lol

LOVE IT!

What a fantastic line! In fact the music used during this scene is titled ‘To live forever’.

Riker was also in a sense channeling David Xanatos of Gargoyles

after this scene Geordi's 20-year journey to rebuild the old girl begins.

Like a baby! No lie!

Of course. And if you listen closely, you can hear the theme from Generations as they step out of the turbo lift as the lights come on.

Lol

"I missed that voice."

And she can still kick ass like nobody's business. Never thought I'd see a Galaxy-class zipping around like a shuttlecraft INSIDE a Borg cube!

The scene was one of the most beautiful scenes of the TNG Movies. Ruined by stupid writing.

@@Orca19904 Yeah...the X-Wingterprise was stupid.

​@@codcastrecall2738 life of the party here🙄

@@codcastrecall2738 It was still better than the USS Copy and Paste from Picard Season 1.... At least the special effects team didn't say screw it that time.

It was very fitting.

It's the "saying goodbye to the Enterprise-D" theme tune. Hopefully, we'll get to hear it at least 17 more times over the next 40 years.

It was a critical hit to the feels.

It was also used in several episodes of Next Gen and even DS9, especially around 0:24. I just realized this listening tonight. For example, in TNG Lower Decks, it's used during the ending speech about Seto's death. In DS9, the same melody is used in Admiral Leyton's office after he walks out, defeated, and Sisko goes to collect his rank insignia. What an amazing, small detail I totally hit by accident.

They also re-used the music from First Contact in the end credits of Picard season 3.

I don't mourn for Lursa and Bethor. This two B*****s worked with the Romulans, attacked the Enterprise, damaged her that badly, that she was destroyed, they helped Soran to build a weapon to destroy suns and they helped kidnapping Geordi.

Riker, worf and laforge should have all been court marshalled for gross negligence of duty and the loss of 1701D

capt rodgers... in one of the novels, it said that Admiral Hayes (from First Contact) ordered LaForge to have surgery, because Starfleet realized his VISOR was a major security risk. Thought they would’ve realize that after Geordi was brainwashed by the Romulans and tried to assassinate a Klingon ambassador.

true. that's however the premise of this film. it's about life and death.... and therefore quite underrated cause it deals with it pretty good.

@@hyperducktales It was changed from the original ending when Soran shoots Kirk in the back. (both the opening and climax are far different in the original form)

Take the time to appreciate me telling you the correct way to spell "I've"

@@ChiliCheeseNips never heard of textspeak?

@@spudserobrien80 Ate your fingers broken?

@@ChiliCheeseNips it's spelled 'are'.

@@spudserobrien80 never heard of autocorrect?

It's basically the "modern" (in terms of TNG era) version of the Miranda. If you recall in the Wrath of Khan, it stood toe-to-toe with the Constitution, and the Galaxy and Nebula were both approximately evenly matched - possibly even outmatched by the Nebula as both the Nebula and the Miranda could be equipped with devastating torpedo mounts on their roofs.

@@TheEDFLegacy I guess it does have some similarities, especially when you see an actual Miranda flying alongside it.

@@Sovereign01 They are similar in that they are both designed to be modular. You can see several variants of both the miranda (USS Lantry, USS Saratoga, USS Reliant) and teh nebula (USS Phoenix, USS Farragut) which have different support pods on top. You wish to send out a ship of either class to do a specific thing, starfleet has a fitting module lying around somewhere. All you need to do is exchange it.

@@JCDFlex I was as much referring to the nacelle arrangement as the presence of dorsal mission pods. In the case of the Nebula it's located directly behind the main shuttlebay, which makes for a navigation hazard for launching and receiving shuttles.

One question. Was generations happening during the dominion war?

I loved Spot. Wonderful companion on the series. God I loved this show and movie series

The fish wasn't so lucky

What about the fish livingston

The big ship Farrugut was destroyed by the Klingons in the war as shown on DS9.

@@carolinehirst4921 it was a nebula class starship

This was definitely one of ILM’s best “Star Trek” movies. That’s definitely one of my favorite shots in the film.

Farragut was one of the last Slackjaw Nebula we saw. The others were in DS9 and First Contact. CG Nebula made changes, including a somewhat more compact engineering hull, which was probably first used for the Melbourne. Farragut's loss was used to show how bad things had gotten with the Klingons. If an entire wing of Cardassian destroyers were required to destroy a single Nebula on transport duty, imagine what the Klingons sent against Farragut.

And actually, both ships show how frakin' HUGE is Nebula / Galaxy class.

Fun fact: Data found his cat Spot in the wreckage alive and well which moved him so much he actually cried.

Oh friend, the circle is much grander in scope than this 🙂

are you happy now for the big D?

That's gold

What surprises me is that four Next Generation movies were done and he never showed up to harass the crew. Imagine if he showed up in Nemesis when Picard realized that Shinzon was a clone of himself. You'd think that was a golden opportunity that Q could not resist passing up, he would have had a ball.

Could be because the guy who played Q is now slightly overweight and looks like crap. Well, there is a possibility that a new version of him could pop up in JJ's universe, but nobody could replace John De Lance.

lol the new slightly overweight crappy Q would say something along the lines of: Its tiring to be the same thing over and over again, quite frankly I was getting bored. Besides, your... mortality makes it hard to keep up with your looks, you change so much. I thought it would be refreshing for you and your crew to reflect upon!

Don't forget, he was on DS9 as well.

Yes, sir!

Interesting hypothesis

Ernesto Tani Aye, captain. o7

oh god how I can't stand the word "an" being used before a word that starts with a consonant. I don't mean to be an english nazi, hell I use the word "your" instead of "you're" in the wrong places myself. But this is just sad.

Yes, it is a legacy. I like that.

She kicked some ass , a much better send off. Thanks Bev.

?

@@tperfect7241 have you not seen picard?

@@thespecter5164 I absolutely have. I'm wondering what mistakes you're referring to

@@tperfect7241 - Generations: The Enterprise D destroyed and left to rot on Veridian III. Nemesis: Data dying and just the lack of a happy ending for the TNG crew. Picard Season 3 fixed it all. Brought Data back to life in an interesting way, gave the crew the happy ending they deserved and brought back the Enterprise D for 1 last adventure.

@Jimbo8012 oh, if we're talking about happy endings then sure, I think the movies missed the mark although I didn't hate the end of generations with its hopeful tone and resolution of the themes it dealt with regarding time, mortality and family.

Picard had been replaced as captain of the Enterprise twice. He stepped aside to take an assignment in Cardassia. Riker fought with the new captain. Later Riker replaced Picard when he was assimilated by the Borg. In Star Trek captains get assigned to different ships without the ship being lost. They can also leave without being promoted. In the first movie Decker merged with V'Ger. He was neither promoted nor was the ship destroyed.

He had just saved the lives of 230 million people and met and befriended the late, great Captain Kirk. Can you imagine the praise and rewards waiting for him when he gets back to Starfleet? All the Enterprise D crew had survived and with the ship destroyed, he was about to enjoy some long term R&R.

tjs19762000 he won't be so gracious losing the E in first contact..

Picard met the legend himself and had the pleasure to work with him. You can make a difference...

It's okay, last time he lost a ship they gave him the new Flagship...and when he lost the Flagship he gets the next Flagship.

She is in the fleet museum to stay.

​@@davequinlan3020 you don't know that she might be called apon once again.

She gives the borg hell one last time before taking her place in the fleet museum. Picard tells Gordi to take good care of her. And Gordi says "yes sir, after all she has always taken good care of us"

Sorry my fault .... well it's like 4.20am haha! Not Reliant Class, but more like Miranda Class Starship 😊

@@lexijamie3193 wow, complex thinking.

ILM certainly earned their pay on this one.

There’s one scene in Voyager where you see 4 ships go to warp at the same time

Don't forget the Oberth class vessel.

@@KuestenblickTV Bridges are modular compartments. Geordi tracked down the original and plugged it in. (I personally prefer the TV version so i'm happy)

I like the movie bridge better

She's exactly as she was, in the words of Enterprise 1701-D's chief medical officer Beverly Crusher, seeing the original version of the ship's main control room.

My favorite line from the movie. I even made it my high school senior quote!

Mine is: "Somehow I doubt that this will be the last ship to carry the name Enterprise"

@@Sovereign01 Yea, for some reason that line sent chills down my spine Had it been the last _episode,_ it would have been such a fitting conclusion to the Next Generation!

Yeah i would be quite happy with just one final TNG movie, before the cast starts to die off. Mainly Patrick stewart is getting pretty old. TNG deserves one final good farewell movie at the very least. Its times like this i wish i was a multi billionaire. I would fund my own damn TNG series.

Themagikz98 after this though I doubt that Picard wpuld ever fancy himself as a Starfleet Admiral it just doesn't sound like his interest.

80811B In the novels, Riker actually becomes an admiral whilst Picard's still a captain. Wonder how Picard feels about having to call Riker 'Sir'?

Alexander Jones well if you go by star trek online you Captain Picard retires and becomes an ambassador.

80811B True, Riker's back to having to call Picard 'Sir' then, as an ambassador probably outranks an admiral!

2401, nearly 30 years later, Riker ist still Not siting on that chair 😅

Do yourself a favour, don't watch Star Trek Picard. The character is long dead.

@@jonathanmack4178 literally… 😅

Summed up perfectly

It still is all those things, people are just too caught up in everything else to see that

Well said.

it's Commodore

+Jon Lyons Wow, I didn't notice that before! Still, a 12000 year old artifact can't compare to the importance of the Picard Family Album!

+Jon Lyons he did :o

+Jon Lyons I suspect that the crew could only take so much of their possessions onto the rescue ships. The rest of their stuff would be salvaged when the other ships came to get the scraps of the saucer section. You have to remember that the space for a thousand people on two ships would be limited by the crews as well as any cargo on said ships. Also that the Federation would not have simply left the saucer section there for scavengers getting hold of important Federation tech. Also consider that sooner or later - possibly as little as a few hundred years - the inhabitants of Nerendra Four would eventually send astronauts to the planet in pre-warp ships. The Prime Directive would apply so the saucer would have to be removed. Since the planet is currently uninhabited its safe the say that Picard's stuff and the rest of the crew's possessions will be safe until the salvage ships arrived.

Samurai Momo The Kurlan Naiskos looks like a ceramic pot. He tossed it aside. I am sure he fucking broke it.

+MiSt 526 Exactly its a symbolic scene

GOOD ONE😂😂😂

👑

I saw it in the theater, it was a great scene when the ship was destroyed with the saucer crashing home on earth. And looking like a UFO

Leagues better than Nemesis.

That was intentional. You'll notice he puts it down in favor of his family album. Its a symbolic scene.

Galen, not Gaylen... and I remember that episode along with ‘Mr Picard’ and ‘it might as well be a recipe for biscuits’!! 😂😂😂

DID YOU NOT CONCIDER THAT Picard would gave had it REPLICATED . KEEP THE REPLICA ON THE SHIP amd send the original off to be stored someplace secure... More secure thrn a STAR SHIP!!!

I can hear that shattering pot sound effect every time he touches it

Picard realized the importance of family thus why the photo album meant a lot to him.

"Perhaps you still will, Riker!"

jane rae Basically meaning that you could relive a moment as many times as you want until you get a good outcome, thus rendering the "...they'll never come again." element rather null and void.

Yep he could've gone back a day before his relative became French Toast, warned him, and stopped all the other dramas

I liked all the TNG movies except Nemesis.

Joe Momma I do prefer First Contact and Insurrection but yes I like it as well

Ditto, love this movie.

Would be mine if I could afford it

Paul Lavender I need to read that.

Is that the one that explores the origins of the Borg?

Amazing book.

@@timgilkes2402 it has the Borg/Romulan alliance and takes you to Borg homeworld. There are several 'origins' of Borg but the best and most canon in my eyes are the Destiny trilogy by David Mack.

The entire Shatnerverse series is brilliant.

When my nephew and I once watched The Original Series episode The Tholian Web, he thought that Captain Kirk missed his chair on the Bridge when he was trapped in the interphase until the crew saved him in the end. Perhaps Captain Picard and Commander Riker both missed their chairs on the Bridge of their old ship even when they got their new ship.

It's not that chair. it might be the Captains chair, but it isn't the Enterprise... and that's the reason he passed up multiple commands. In the end, he had to settle for not the Enterprise because Picard wasn't going anywhere. One wonders if that was reinforced by what Kirk told Picard in the Nexus.

💊

After what Season 3 of Picard gave us, that could now be appropriate.

Yes, and destroyed by the Klingons at DS9.
