Moore penned the two - part finale ofStar Trek : The Next Generationwhile also writing the firstTNGmovie , Star Trek Generations . " All Good Things … " is consider to be far superscript toStar Trek Generationsby fans , and it persist in to be the aureate standard for everyStar Trekseries finale .
In theStar Trek oralhistory " The Fifty - Year Mission : The Next 25 class " by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross , Brent Spiner and Brannon Braga detail the first draught ofStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s series finalethat Braga and Ron Moore wrote , and howexecutive manufacturer Michael Piller made changesthat led to the " All Good Things … " that aired . Read Spiner and Braga ’s quotes below :
Brent Spiner : The first draught that Ron and Brannon wrote was extraordinary . It would have easily have been thought of as the dandy Star Trek instalment of all metre . Michael came in and supply a few thousand row of technobabble to it and took out some of the fiber panorama , which he is not keen on . There were moment when I take the first draft that my heart jump into my throat , because I was so excited . There were some grand moments between Picard , Geordi , and Data . Nonetheless , it ’s still a very honorable episode .
Brannon Braga : In the future , they went to the Starfleet Museum where the Enterprise is with a lot of other ships and they get a manoeuvre tour . The tour guide does n’t even know who they are and they have to hijack the Enterprise to go on this crazy mission Picard wants to go on . But just as they ’re about to go , Admiral Riker comes in with a bunch of protection multitude . They end up go anyway , of course , but to me that was a quite a little of fun . There was a lot of good character employment that was mislay . Did we need Geordi ’s VISOR to hold the cay to the mystery ? We ’ve seen that about twenty - five meter in the show . Do we really need his heart to be get under one’s skin younger ? Would it have been better to have more character at the risk of exposure of meandering a little bit ? Yes , I think so . But that ’s just my notion . Michael Piller ’s opinion is plausibly just as valid and I believe the show works either way . I ’ll tell you , it was a lot more fun to save the scene of the bunch slip the Enterprise than it was to spell technical school about people getting younger , and I believe what ’s more playfulness to spell is more fun to observe .
Star Trek : The Next Generation has one of the most beloved cast of characters in all of science fiction . Here are the major characters of the classic .
Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Did Some Of TNG Finale’s Original Story
Both episodes also ended with a poker game.
constituent of the first draft ofStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s series stopping point , " All Good Things … " are remarkablysimilar to cardinal events inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 . Admiral Jean - Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) and his crew natter the Starfleet Museum in the original muster ofTNG ’s finale , and they commandeer the USS Enterprise - D. A interlingual rendition of this happen inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 ; Jean - Luc and the USS Titan - A also visit theFleet Museum on Athan Prime , but Commodore Geordi La Forge ( LeVar Burton ) storm his old gang with the rebuilt USS Enterprise - D.
Geordi ’s eyes do n’t factor out intoStar Trek : Picardseason 3 as La Forge traded his VISOR for ocular implant decades prior inStar Trek : First Contact .
Of of course , Star Trek : The Next Generation ’s finale , " All Good Things … " , terminate withCaptain Picard joining his crew for a poker secret plan , a symbolic gesture that Picard consider them not just his booster but his family . The theme of family is touchingly reinforce inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 ’s closing , which wrap up with Picard encouraging one more fire hook biz with the people who have stand for so much to him for almost 40 year . It ’s doubtfulStar Trekfans would reason against the greatness ofStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s " All Good thing … " , but it ’s fascinating to read what might have been in the episode , and that elements of it were adapted intoStar Trek : Picardseason 3 .
