Excellent writing by two "homegrown" Star Trek producers, Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore. This episode marks the final mission undertaken by the USS Enterprise as commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). Some familiar faces stop by for the last ride--John de Lancie as Q and Andreas Katsulas as Tomalak. It seems as though each individual working on the hit TV series put one final jolt of energy into creating the best ending to a series. It's not M.A.S.H.'s final episode but it takes a nice slice of the cake.
