Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile it has long been speculated that Picard is older than Patrick Stewart (the reasoning being that people age slower in the 24th century thanks to medical advances), his age is revealed here for the first time. Picard is 94, or born in 2305, while Stewart was 79 when this episode aired. His age had been implied in numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), stating that Picard graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2327, presumably at age 22.
- GoofsWhen Picard leaves the quantum simulation of the vineyard's living room, contemporary light switches can be seen next to the door. Provided that they are there for lending a vintage feel to the house, it's very strange that these are clearly American style switches, despite the fact that the vineyard is supposed to be in France.

Asking the questions
One's personal opinion about a series and one's review meant to be helpful to others do not necessarily need to coincide. If one has more years behind than ahead, and was there to watch the first episode of TOS and has watched every single Trek episode or movie made since, like myself, they will write a different review than someone trained in what's entertaining and good by the formulaic executive boardroom decisions of the last couple of decades..
After watching the season finale of Star Trek Picard I'm glad to say that my personal opinion and the review I would write today for others coincide. In the balance of everything Trek done since 2002, and with the pre-2002 legacy in mind, this was a truly fitting tribute as well as a Renaissance of the social commentary via science fiction that Star Trek was always meant to be. The Trek to the Stars is what Gene envisioned as our destiny and kept trying to remind us of it through entertainment. That's exactly what this series and this season finale achieved, to a "T".
Whether you will like this season finale and this new series or not depends on how old you are and what you expect of entertainment. Unless you have reasons to be really angry with life today, my bet is that if you clean your slate and watch this series and this finale you will come away a fuller, happier person.
I was blown away by it, and I'd like to think I wasn't born yesterday.
PS. I feel sympathy and sadness for those folk who are seriously telling us here that they "saw" carnal desire in that simple gesture of solace and closeness between an ex-Borg who has lived a life of mostly solitude and a loner whose son rejected her a few episodes ago.
