I’m currently rewatching it, and at first I admit I hated the season and didn’t understand all the praise it got, but on this second viewing, I am actually warming up a bit to it. It still is deeply flawed, with a lot of things that don’t make sense or could have been done better, but I kinda like it regardless. What do you think?
It’s a TV reunion special. I think it accomplished everything it set out to do - reunite the cast, bring back an old bad guy for another thrashing, and show that the TNG crew’s lives and adventures have continuing impact on the Star Trek world. Also heaping some disses on the first two PIC seasons. And the new characters seem cool.
I wish it had set out to tell an original story instead.
The Borg would have had a bigger impact if they didn’t already feature in the first two seasons.
They would have had a bigger impact if the previous season hadn’t turned them into friends who were then completely forgotten about.
One scene saying something like ‘Oh, the Borg are here. I wonder why Agnes didn’t contact us first’ would have made it a bit more believable, rather than ‘We made friends with the Borg but now we’re scared when they’re mentioned’.
Yeah its weird they didnt ask for help from the Jurati borg
