I want to smell dark matter
Jack is possessed by Redjac and stabs Troi to death.
Riker beats Jack to death with his bare hands.
Beverly shoots Riker with a phaser set on disintigrate but it hits his beard and just leaves him clean-shaven.
Jean-Luc just stands around being ineffectual during the whole thing.

the battlestar galactica miniseries was pretty good

I'm going to guess the big reveal was the most predictable, boring thing possible (The Borg) and not something awesome like Redjac teaming up with the bugs from Conspiracy.

well wacky
the borg hack into the fleet while it's demonstrating its new "every single ship gets networked together and is controlled centrally" feature. luckily, there's one ship in the fleet that isn't connected to the network.......... the one that's a museum.

and for some reason the borg can only infest people under 25, so baby boomers are our last hope to save the galaxy.

TAKE THAT GEN Z!
So Geordi spent 20 years restoring the ENT-D bridge back to its hotel lobby glory.
BUT DIDJA NOTICE HOW THE LIGHTS ARE DIMMER NOW?
I did get a lump in my throat in the end, and then immediately hated myself for it.
SO DID THEY BRING SHELBY BACK JUST TO KILL HER OFF TOO OR DID SHE SURVIVE?

I love the somethingawful forums - pity I didn't find that place years ago. I looked around for the registration and only saw a paid-for option, is that correct?
Indeed.
In the moment, I enjoyed it.
• I didn't care the plot doesn't make a lick of sense and how utterly convoluted this all is.
• I didn't care how blatant and arguably in poor taste this 'memberberry assault is.
• I didn't care how dumb this gets once you start rubbing two brain cells together.
It is what it is. I liked seeing my old favorites The Borg again - the REAL Borg. I liked all the familiar things that I recognized.
Next week is the last time I'll see this crew together and the last time I expect I'll be invested in Star Trek with anything approaching the passion I once had. So, I'll enjoy it as best I can for what it is and bid it farewell. After years of underbaked, half-arsed NuTrek, I'm glad I can sign off with something that fires off some dopamine, rather than calling it quits on something like Discovery S4. That said, the nostalgia of using all the "greatest hits" works at the primal level; if we try to analyse this objectively, we surely realise this is hot garbage, right?
In the hands of real talent, a TNG reunion could have been something of substance, rather than an endless parade of nostalgia - maybe with a dusting of nostalgia here and there, sure.
TL;DR - a nostalgia-gasm that has no respect for real Trek or my intelligence but I enjoyed it in the moment and feel like a cheap whore afterwards.

Even an all-fluff nostalgia trip would have been really satisfying, if, as you said, it was in the right hands. But was this endless doomscroll of a plot really necessary? Can't anyone under 50 write a cohesive, suspenseful high-stakes story that doesn't involve total apocalypse with only seconds to spare? There's so many good elements here, especially the addition of Seven (who was surprisingly underused once the Borg showed up).
I hope at least everyone was paid commensurately well. Even at the Shelby/Hugh/Ro guest star level.

I've never felt an episode of Picard feel so short, by the end it felt like there was half an episode still left. Very entertaining, with just a few minor quibbles, most of the action seemed to be just heard on the radio, the enterprise f bridge was a chair and a door, but got to love that D.
