"Star Trek: The next generation", according to all measures, was far more successful than the original "Star Trek" that preceded it. The original series was not a big hit when it first aired in 1966 and became popular until Trekis revealed in a repeat in the mid-1970s. By the mid-1980s, the series not only had passionate the following, but several hit "Star Trek" feature films were made, ensuring that the franchise was long-lasting and widely celebrated. Creator Ein Bornobi, wanting a project that could be closely monitored, started the first spinoff "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in 1987, rapidly advancing the franchise timeline by about a century. The new show shows new actors, a new boat and a new tone. This was, with the order of Birth, to be even more diplomatic and peaceful than even the original show.

The "next generation" stumbled up in the first two seasons, but hit an incredibly solid groove until the third year, becoming a huge success and lasting for seven whole seasons. Approached in 1994 when shopping repetitions became too expensive; All seven seasons 'next generation' had to be sold to local TV gates in a giant piece And they had to be repeated many times, so some branches did not want to make time dedication with all 178 episodes.

The last episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was a two -hour event broadcast on 23.05.1994. It was called "All Good Things ..." and an ambitious conspiracy appeared while traveling in three timeline "Star Trek". One time schedule was the "present" of the series. The second time schedule was set seven years ago, just before the events of the cockpit episode "NextGen". The third timeline jumped about 25 years in the future, where Picard (Patrick Stewart) was an old man.

"All Good Things ..." is a great final, mainly because it boasts a sharp writing by veterinarians Ronald D. Moore and Branon Braga. The plot involves captain Picard to become "smooth" on time, La Kurt's "Slaughterhouse Pat". In the present, it faces a diagnosis of a rare and fatal brain disease called Irumodic Syndrome, something that will degrade its ability to function for decades. In the past, he retains memories of what to come, but must fight bizarre hallucinations while handling a crew he has not yet met. In the future, the syndrome has done its job, and Picard has become something senile. The future timeline also deals with what Geordi (Levar Burton), Reeker (Athonian Freks), Warf (Michael Dorn) and data (Brent Spainer) are fine. Troy (Marina Syris) is dead, and Dr. Krusher (Gates McFaden) is now the captain of the arswives named Captain Beverly Picard. Yes, she and Picard got married and divorced in the meantime.

Finally it was discovered that Trickster god q (Johnon de launchy, long -time Guestwarr as repeated) It has to do with time jumps. It is possible to only test the determination and clever of Picard. Picard eventually finds a bizarre and destructive spatial phenomenon that is huge in the past, with average size in the present and non -existent in the future. What's going on? The phenomenon seems to become the bigger, the more it is traveling in time. And what would happen if that phenomenon continued to burn until the beginning of time? Would that destroy the life of ancient planets? Maybe. Picard must be reconciled with the fact that it deals with a time paradox.

It is a cool story and kind of difficult scientific concepts eating Treki. It certainly didn't hurt it "all the good things ..." was able to give viewers look at the future and nostalgic view of the past.

Picard eventually reveals the nature of the spatial phenomenon and accepts that the paradoxes are really possible. Q is impressed that human minds are capable of understanding such things and allowing Picard to return to its "present". Was it all a dream? Did you really happen to this? It is more important that Picard was able to face a new concept of mind and prove that people are really capable of psychological growth.

In the last scene of "All Good Things ...", Picard enters the room where his older staff usually gathers to play poker games. Picard has never stopped playing cards, rarely fraternal with his staff that way. They make a seat for him, and he begins to change the cards. As he does, he pauses and looks around the table. He realizes that his senior staff is warm and welcome and that, after seven years of working together, they became his best friends. He commented that he was supposed to play poker a long time ago. Trii mentions that he has always been welcome.

This is a friendly way to put an end to the series, allowing Picard to have a personal moment. It starts to handle the cards, setting parameters for the game. When it comes to betting, he says that "the sky is the limit". The Most Holy Line to put an end to the great TV series. Picard, as the trays looked, seems to realize that we had a good job for these last seven seasons. But as the title implies, all good things must end. Enterprise-D moves away, continuing its mission.

An admirable detail detail for "All Good Things ..." is that it brings nothing to definitely close. "Star Trek: The next generation" does not end with Picard leaving the ship to take over a new command, the death of a big character or something dramatic. The implication is that the adventures of Enterprise-D will continue, but we will simply not be allowed to see them anymore. If this was supposed to be the last time the fans watch the characters "next generation", it was appropriate sending.

Of course, at this point in the history of Star Trek, the production was already underway for Star Trek: Generations, the first "Next Generation" theater feature film. "All good things ..." were broadcast on May 23, while the "generations" hit theaters on November 18. The slice had to wait only six months to see their favorite characters again. Trekkies would also pay attention to the announcements of the press and the shooting schedule, so there was no fear that Captain Picard would not return. We knew more.

This species pulled out the edge "All the good things ..." was a celebrity end of a great TV show, but no one was under any illusions that this was the real end. If nothing else, it was just a stop-jaz in the franchise. Indeed, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" was already in the third season until the "generations" came out, and "Star Trek: Voyager" was due to debut in January 1995, so the "next generation" final became a little less significant among voice. Yes, it was nice goodbye, but it wasn't Adiu.

Also did not help things, well, "Generations" type of sucking.

Telaplay writer Ron D. Moore recalled "all good things ..." as a busy time in his life. He liked the final, but his attention was divided between "all good things ..." and "generations". He even talked about how "all good things ..." should have had a fourth story about the time frame involving Borg, but that he might have become too ambitious with him. Indeed, in the book of oral history "Fifty -year -old mission: The next 25 years: From the next generation to Jey Abrams", " Edited by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross appears to be not much complaints from the cast and the episode crew. Everyone knew the show would end, although some members of the cast - especially Athonian Freyks - remembered that he had applied for additional seasons. But if this would be the end, it was good.

More than everything, reading a "fifty -year mission" most often reveals fatigue stories. 1992 until 1996 was the Golden Age for Star Trek, as three performances and two feature films were all in different stages of production. The audience was huge, and the franchise feels unified, all supervised by the Come Creative team. In 1994 It can be forgiven on the cast and crew only to remember the noise.

Of course, because Star Trek was moving forward with the "Next Generation" films, the characters will have a few more finals to meet. "Generations" was followed by "Star Trek: First Contact" in 1996, "Star Trek: Uprising" in 1998 and "Star Trek: Nemesis" in 2002. By 2002, it was clear that the "next -generation" crew was made and it was time to divide everyone into their separate lives. Reeker and Troy were married, and Reeker was supposed to become a captain of a ship called USS Titan. Also, "Nestsis" ended up with the data that sacrificed his life to save his friends.

The final scenes of Nemesis are melancholic and pure depressive. The data is dead, Warf is already on a new gig, and the "team" is falling apart. It would be good if the breakup was presented as an inevitable, sad progression of time, but it was so clumsy that it only felt like a big boomer.

In 2023, however, the "Next Generation" cast was gathered for another TV event, the third season of Star Trek: Picard. That series was set more or less at the same time as "future" sequences of "all good things ...", but this time he told about Real A story about where the characters landed. Picard and his old associates are assembled to destroy the Borg plot and save the long -lost adult son of Picard. At the end of the series, the crew gathered on the tavern and, As in "All Good Things ...", decide to play poker.

Picard, feeling happiness, mentions that "the evils have always been in my favor." That was, after Nemesis, a much more satisfying end to the "Next Generation" crew.
