My Fan Edit of Picard will turn each season into a separate movie , so a lot of stuff will be trimmed out. leaving only the best stuff and what is needed to keep a cohesive story. more details and updates will be on my other review channel: ua-cam.com/users/NitpickingNerd
Love the idea of editing down the season to remove the unnecessary crap, but I would recommend keeping every single minute of the D reveal. This was EVERYTHING fans were hoping for and... I personally wouldn't want a single second of these particular scenes removed. They are perfection, right down to the actors' voice inflections (i.e. Picard saying "Engage"). I went to bed the night after watching this episode thinking that if I pass away in my sleep I would be content having just seen all my old friends back together where they belong, one last time.
30 years later and still the most majestic, regal and elegant ship in all starfleet history. The gentle lines and futuristic curves just make it look like one seamless piece of engineering marvel. It also visually represents the epitome of starfleet and Roddenberry's vision: a hopeful, optimistic, & utopian future for humanity. Considering how long ago TNG came out, I'm disappointed in the other starship designs since then. There was a kind of majesty and elegance to the design of D that hasn't been duplicated since.
Given the lack of care the current showrunners have for the series, it's not surprising that the quality of starships has dropped. They even went so far as to make the "new" Enterprise-G look like a rehash of the Constitution-Class.
I definitely would put the TMP Enterprise over the D in terms of majestic, regal and elegant. The reveal was the absolute best part of the TMP and the music... Nothing has topped it since.
I love the fact they made the warp sound and look exactly as it should. One of my biggest pet peeves with all the new movies & shows is how everything just sounds so flat.
That last bit where the Enterprise-D warps off is probably the most epic thing I've ever seen. It was all I could think about for probably 2 weeks. I've never cried with joy in my life and I've probably replayed it 6,000 times. Picard would find me to be a pitiable man. 😞
Would have been cool if at the end of the season, Riker gets promoted to admiral and he's refitted the D into the Dreadnought class, completing the "All good things..." alternate future
_STO_ has the Yamato Dreadnaught, which is a more refined looking version of the Galaxy-X. Actually just a skin on the Galaxy-X, to be honest. I got it for precisely the reasons you're thinking of.
Yeah, something like that. Like it would be fitting for such an old hero ship to become the actual flagship once again after these events. A starfleet flagship, shouldn't necessarily be the ship with the most weapons or something like that. It should stand for something. They should leave it at that, give us Star Trek legacy on the titan. Let that ship keep her name, like it seems disservice to the ship and her crew to rename it? And maybe a small cameo down the road. But let this be the enterprise-D's final send-off. It's a minor complaint to an overall good season
Why is it that random UA-camrs can write a more compelling and well connected story than highly paid professional writers? That would have been perfect and actually made some sense. And wouldn't have made the return of the D and the changing of the Titan to the G both feel like cheap gimmicks for memberberries to appeal to fans.
@@compmanio36 I know there are a lot of talented UA-camrs out there who could definitely make awesome stuff, but we shouldn't underestimate the time/production constraints writers are on and how much easier it is to point out things that can be improved after they have been fully produced?
The edits and cuts you made here are brilliant. It just feels right, as though it really is the Nemesis sequel we never got to see. I am very excited to hear you're working on cutting ALL 3 seasons into proper movies! Can't wait :D
The Ent-D design was always foremost a ship of peace reflecting Roddenberry's vision of a utopian future in TNG, but also projecting power and majesty. A timeless design that is still way ahead of its time. And it smokes everything post Nemesis, especially how aggressive the Jar Jar Abrams and Kurtzman era ships have gotten.
I actually like the idea of a famous ship being restored even though half of it was obliterated. Plenty of hulls to go around after the Galaxy was decommissioned, after all. Same thing has happened with many ships, tanks, planes, and other vehicles found in museums across the world. Off the top of my head, the Sherman Jumbo "Cobra King" was restored with a different Sherman's 75mm gun, having been upgraded to 76mm during the war. The Maus at Kubinka tank museum combines the hull and turret of the only two existing prototypes. It's a neat detail, and true to life. I wonder which ship gave up her hull to bring such a legendary beauty back to life.
Naval tradition holds that as long as a certain percentage of the ship has been salvaged into the new one, then it's technically the same ship. As disheartening as it was seeing the Enterprise crash land in Star Trek Generations, the coolest take away was that the entire saucer was mostly still intact and that made this scene so much more believable and possible.
I like the changes you made to the pacing. Cutting a lot of the jokier lines, especially those at Worf's expense, was a good idea as well. I still can't get over how dark their clothes are, especially in the light of the old bridge. Still, for the task they had ahead of them, fighting the Borg, _Voyager_ or _Defiant_ , or maybe even both by splitting the group, would have been the better pick. I know it would have been less nostalgic, but it'd have made more sense. Nor was a restored Galaxy-class starship ever going to move the way Data had to make it move later. Even a Ross or Andromeda refit, she's just too big and lumbering. Intrepids and Defiants are far more agile ships. They're designed to be, after all. This was all done for nostalgia. It's well done, but still.
You're reminding me of the same thing in a different fandom: Iron Man. Back in the late '90s/early '00s the comic decided to revive an old armor since Stark's new one was destroyed (it became sapient and killed itself to save Stark). The problem was, they went with the "classic" armor, since it was the most iconic (i.e. lasted the longest) instead of the more logical choice of a later, better, armor. Naturally, the writer/editor denied that it was nostalgia bait, but you could tell that's all it was.
Since there were only 7 people on board who were all located on the bridge, Data focused and intensified the ship's inertial dampeners on just that one room. It allowed the ship to do maneuvers it could never do otherwise.
@@atomicninjaduck9200 I loved that arc. Back to your point about the D, yeah I've noticed a lot of people coming up with some no-prize level excuses for how it could be agile, like focused inertial dampers etc, the fact is it's just too big to move like that.
I have to agree with @eskanda3434. Data is capable of 90 trillion operations per second. Also, the volume of the Borg ship must be something >500x that of the Enterprise D. And, an assumption, some replacement parts could’ve been updated tech (i’m just saying… restoration for the fleet museum probably required all original parts).
That music as she launches is so epic. My only issue with this scene is the fact that they left a station full of people. they should've had some transfer over to help run the rest of the ship.
This scene reminds me of the scene from Star Trek 3 with the bridge crew on the bridge and Kirk tells them he couldn't ask them to go any further that him and Bones had to do this. I got the same vibes.
"thats very nice Geordi, but we are starfleet officer, we must not be blinded by nostalgia, we will take the Defiant as it a smaller and modern warship that can operate with minimal crew and Worf has experience with it" Actual Captain Picard
I realized it could have been a nice nod if the Fleet Museum had the USS Kelvin, showing that in this timeline it didn't get destroyed. (Although, still, for proper world building, they should have had a lot of ships we've never seen before.)
A sympathetic edit, thanks chief. Seemed a little dark in places (perhaps a conversion issue from HDR?). As an aside, i always thought that the system initialisation command was a little rushed and should have had an extra line first like "Computer, recognise Jean-Luc Picard and...." to which the computer response that we then heard would have been more applicable. The niggling items, i know....
This ship is second place of my most favorite Starfleet ship, but I am still a Constitution-Refit man. It was was so nice for this season to give respect to the Constitution-Refit and not just the first Constitution class.
Yeah it's okay nostalgia, get's you in the feels. But though, it doesn't compare to the reveal of the Enterprise NCC 1701-A (Sorry Mr Scot). Now that's how you do a ship reveal to kick you in the feel.
Modern Space Operas, including modern trek: Make the inside of ships dark and dreary. You are in space, you should feel like it. 1960s-1990s star trek: We want our crews too feel at home and as comfortable as possible. Lets make the inside of our ships look elegant, roomy, and comfy. Enterprise D: I agree with that statement and take luxury and optimism to a whole new level Cloaked Bird of Prey: Hold my beer
They really should have had shots of people watching the D launch from inside the spacedock. All those lit windows imply people in them, but Picard kept making facilities seems unpopulated.
Every time I see that scene, I have an orgasm. Episode 9 of season 3 will go down in history as one of the great Star Trek episodes, along with episodes like "Balance of Terror", "The City in the Edge of the Forever", "The Inner Light", "Darmok or "In The Pale Moonlight".
I love seeing grim determination on Data’s face. After Season 1 gave me my least favorite Data story of all time, I never expected this season to give me one of my favorites.
it like going back home the Enterprise d and bet the old team had love and like it now, them a more old and happy to had the old ship now, Picard and inc is it now,
I’d have used the Enterprise-E in the Frontier Day ceremony; it would have made more sense to decommission a 30 year old vessel than a relatively new Odyssey-class, and introducing the Enterprise-F just to get rid of her afterward was kind of pointless.
I don't think Patrick Stewart was actually able to step back into the role of Captain Picard until he was on this set and saying those lines. His whole performance changes. His voice changes. He is Picard again in this scene.
Right after THe enterprise leaves the dock. Janeway should have arrived with Tom Paris, Harry Kim, Kira And Obrien along with a few hundred extra crew. Janeway would then take voyager and Kira and Obrien would take the defiant. Maybe she also brought a fleet of old ships too. Then they all go off to fight the borg. Just add 15- to 30 mins extra footage and it would have been great!
Terry Matalas wanted that. But he did not had the money. He was not abble to pay all these actors to appear. Seasons have limited budget. And Picard had smaller budget than Discovery.
That scene should have ended with Deanna Troi saying: "Alright boys, I fly the ship out of the dock." And they all raised their hands and yelled "Nooo!" in unison while the Seinfeld track plays in the back.
Nostalgia aside, I still say this was needed. Not only to save the franchise from the shitter Kurtzman was trying to shove it into, but to make up for her bullshit destruction in Generations.
"Condensed?" How long was the original scene? The only real nitpick I'd have about the redit is that Picard didn't give his authorization code, the computer just accepts his voiceprint. Was that not in the original? Looking forward to your fanedits. It should be...fascinating (or interesting).
Not sure if it's the edit, or the original soundtrack, but I find it quite the feat that they managed to completely avoid the TNG theme altogether, instead mixing in the TOS theme and variations of the TMP theme. And yes, I'm fully aware that the TNG theme is a condensed version of the TMP theme, however, the specific tracks all seem to be from parts of the TMP theme that never made it in to TNG. Kind of like a DS9 reunion where the entire crew returns to DS9, only to hear bits of the Voyager theme playing...
Its 2023 Tv so its dark. An Emo tv acting set is cheeper to hide mistakes, than a brightly lit room. Far less hideing spots for actor's drink bottle's on a clean warm acting stage. With less light, most camera shot's need to be half way up an actors nose and far less wide shots need to be filmed. Also a depresing dark bridge is an over use of Red Alert. Plus it takes them oh soo very long to change all those LED's, again and again and then again... all in such a short time.
There is one set of attention to detail missed.....that bridge was the TV show bridge not the one from Veridian.....the panels on the side were made into work stations......
Such a bad way they treated Worf by having him talk about weapon systems when they could have done a call back to him talking to Chief O'Brien on DS9 by saying "Those were good years" but missed opportunities is how we describe Trek now. This scene isn't special just a let down.
This is good, but the slow pacing reminds me of the revealing of the Enterprise in Star Trek 1. I would tighten it up further and would trim out the parts where Data describes his feelings, which strike me as overly mawkish and maudlin.
"Captain, control of the fleet seems to be under transfer to an outside third party." NOG: What, again? "It appears to be the Borg, and they seem to have taken control of every junior officer." NOG: Well, if no one else will... Comms, open an all-points channel. "Open, sir." NOG: This is Captain Nog of the _USS Chimera_ . Under my authorization, all systems immediately initiate Beta Protocol and Kappa Protocol. [The screens now show 'beta' and 'kappa' symbols in the corners. The ships stop responding to Vox's commands] "Captain?" NOG: Just a second, some of the assimilated crews might've gotten themselves into command consoles quickly enough to lock out one or both protocols. Prepare for combat. "Yes, sir. All combat systems report ready." NOG: To explain, a bunch of us in Starfleet got tired of the Borg taking control, and also of our systems being hacked. Beta Protocol immediately scans every ship, the whole ship, for Borg signatures, which are then transported into specially designed brig cells. Kappa Protocol hermetically seals each ship from each other so as to avoid the spread of any code that can act like a virus and hijack any of the systems, and then it purges the system of any and all foreign coding. "Such as Borg coding in the transporter systems, even though we cleared all that out of _Chimera_ during maintenance." NOG: Precisely. The secured ships can then communicate with one another using transmission microbursts, too small for any malware to use to get across. And transmitting protocol activation over any Starfleet frequency ensures the activation will reach any vessel using any Starfleet channel. We just have to watch out for the odd ship where the crew couldn't regain control. "Sir, the _Enterprise_ is approaching. The shields are up, and they are charging weapons." NOG: Like that. Go to combat speed, and prepare to run it out. We'll take its attention as long as we can. Tactical, when I signal, send this code." "Ready, sir." NOG: Go. Adjust shields as needed, this'll take me a moment. "Sir, shields are barely holding." "I'm not sure how much more I can evade, Captain." NOG: Just as often and as much as it counts. There, sent. Helm, bring us around. Tactical, reinforce those forward shields, but hold fire. "Shields are buckling!" NOG: Emergency separation, now! " _USS Aquarius_ and the saucer section..?" NOG: Sending the controls to SCIENCE 1 and TACTICAL 1. If this worked, you should have the _Aquarius_ and the stardrive section. "Got it sir," "Ready when you are." NOG: Excellent. Bring us about and into formation. Helm, remember to keep us within 10k of both of them. _Aquarius_ first, then _Chimera_ , and finally the _Enterprise_ stardrive. Oh, and fire to disable. She may be retiring today, but that's still our flagship." "All stations ready." NOG: Activate Tactical Mode. Engage.
Personally, I still would've cut out all the nostalgia porn insert shots of the LCARS screens coming on and whatnot. And if I could, I woulda toned down the try-hardness of the soundtrack in spots. Just clearing up some of that "talking down to our stupid audience" blatant emotional manipulation that plagues this era of Trek and making it more subtle and not as "in your face."
They're not supposed to jump to warp inside a solar system, and these guys jump to warp right out of the garage door. ST:ENT started this crap. Over a decade of BadRobot destroying Trek, I felt nothing from this scene buy annoyance from the decade of destruction.

Aye. TNG engines = BwuuuuuaaaAAAAAH- VWOOOOSH! *BOOM*

I especially hated the worst warp effect of all time - Enterprise-E roadrunner smoke trails while going into warp in Star Trek Nemesis.
The sonic honesty of a show is part of continuity, I think.
Say what you want about Picard Season 3, but this scene absolutely brought tears to my eyes, even after repeat viewings!
Even after watching this clip for the 100th time it still breaks me down

@john Mackes if that were an issue, would they have been able to just load the Enterprise up with torpedoes and then take the ship?
As I remember, Geordi states that drones are loading the ship, there might not have been much staff at the museum.
@john Mackes the old earth spacedock station that still houses torpedoes and a working cloaking device should still be adequately staffed.
Ha! You'd think, right?
This scene reminds me of the scene from Star Trek 3 with the bridge crew on the bridge and Kirk tells them he couldn't ask them to go any further that him and Bones had to do this. I got the same vibes.

Janeway would then take voyager and Kira and Obrien would take the defiant. Maybe she also brought a fleet of old ships too. Then they all go off to fight the borg. Just add 15- to 30 mins extra footage and it would have been great!
Terry Matalas wanted that. But he did not had the money. He was not abble to pay all these actors to appear. Seasons have limited budget. And Picard had smaller budget than Discovery.
Did Geordi forget which console was Ops and which one was Helm? Or did Picard get it wrong and everyone went with it?
No, I think both consoles can do the job of the other in a pinch.
nostalgic perfection 😀
That scene should have ended with Deanna Troi saying: "Alright boys, I fly the ship out of the dock."
And they all raised their hands and yelled "Nooo!" in unison while the Seinfeld track plays in the back.
Nostalgia aside, I still say this was needed. Not only to save the franchise from the shitter Kurtzman was trying to shove it into, but to make up for her bullshit destruction in Generations.
Nah generations was okay compared to this trash
@Conner Nickerson destroying the Ent D with a 75 year old BoP and a lucky shot because they wanted a sleeker ship for movies, was bullshit
@@Zhortac should have been a fleet of Klingon ships . And not reuse the same explosion from star trek 6
The scene was perfect in its original condition.
"Condensed?" How long was the original scene? The only real nitpick I'd have about the redit is that Picard didn't give his authorization code, the computer just accepts his voiceprint. Was that not in the original?
Looking forward to your fanedits. It should be...fascinating (or interesting).
with the way the first two seasons went i was hoping they would all die in a freak explosion
Not sure if it's the edit, or the original soundtrack, but I find it quite the feat that they managed to completely avoid the TNG theme altogether, instead mixing in the TOS theme and variations of the TMP theme.
And yes, I'm fully aware that the TNG theme is a condensed version of the TMP theme, however, the specific tracks all seem to be from parts of the TMP theme that never made it in to TNG.
Kind of like a DS9 reunion where the entire crew returns to DS9, only to hear bits of the Voyager theme playing...
This is like when J. J. Abrams brought us ANH ships in TFA, although it's been 35 years since! I cried! Because it was sooo bad.
Member Star Trek? Member the Enterprise D?
memberberries are poision
I member
Let's make sure history members the name... Memberprise.
@@jaqenhghar2970 throbbing and fully operational
I don't mind memberberries, to be honest. No need to understand why.
Why is it so dark?!
The lights won’t be installed till Tuesday
Directors no longer want you to see everything on-screen any more. Why light everything when you can have dramatic darkness?
Edited.
Because Kurtzman is a vampire or some other creature of the dark.
Its 2023 Tv so its dark. An Emo tv acting set is cheeper to hide mistakes, than a brightly lit room. Far less hideing spots for actor's drink bottle's on a clean warm acting stage. With less light, most camera shot's need to be half way up an actors nose and far less wide shots need to be filmed. Also a depresing dark bridge is an over use of Red Alert. Plus it takes them oh soo very long to change all those LED's, again and again and then again... all in such a short time.
Captain: Go to Red Alert.
Crewman: …are you sure, Captain. It does mean removing the covers and changing the bulb.
(Yes I know)
The bridge is darker than I recall
Could you send me the music of your cut isolated?
are you playing the new star trek game? they even referenced "the last outpost" from tng season 1. it's really good so far.
This is in my humble opinion the ONLY good scene in all entirety of The Picard Show.
The moment star Trek was saved
very nice but i "personally" would have left Majel's voice ship command authorization in as well.
Is it a problem that Geordie is allowed to keep a fully operational, armed Galaxy class starship in his garage?
That is Starfleet museum.
This is a ship you wanna work and live on
I'm not crying, you're crying 🥲
I like this edit better
Where's the third nacelle? Do they have a crew?
Capt Kirk asked the same question better in ST III
No quiero llorar... no quiero llorar !!!
What i miss is the external Enterprise D powering up sound before warp
GOD BLESS THE OLÐ GIRL!
Set Course for Earth, Warp Factor: Pander
There is one set of attention to detail missed.....that bridge was the TV show bridge not the one from Veridian.....the panels on the side were made into work stations......
Geordi rebuilt it to how it was before
Geordi restored the bridge to its original configuration.
Such a bad way they treated Worf by having him talk about weapon systems when they could have done a call back to him talking to Chief O'Brien on DS9 by saying "Those were good years" but missed opportunities is how we describe Trek now. This scene isn't special just a let down.
Combine all the seasons of Nu Trek and they got 1 scene right.
BermanTrek really was the best era.
in my headcanon, the ent d bridge ALWAYS smells like new-car.
I still don't understand why there isn't a stretch effect when it goes to warp. 🤦♂
Ah, yes, my first version of warp speed in "Star Trek" that I have seen in my lifetime.
@@DonDonP1 Where Donny? It wasn't here right?
@@pferreira1983 I have first seen that stretch when I have first watched "TNG."
@@DonDonP1 Yeah that's when it was first used, in the pilot.
I wish they used the dual hand prints to reactivate it.
Got a little too emotional at this scene😂😭
Divert all power into thise shields. But also, leave all the lights on in the rest of the ship
Lights are really nothing power wise in Star trek universe
😍😍😍😍😍
This is good, but the slow pacing reminds me of the revealing of the Enterprise in Star Trek 1. I would tighten it up further and would trim out the parts where Data describes his feelings, which strike me as overly mawkish and maudlin.
subtitles?
You should make a video about how NuTrek reused the starfleet compromisation plot twice (prodigy, Picard S3)
"Captain, control of the fleet seems to be under transfer to an outside third party."
NOG: What, again?
"It appears to be the Borg, and they seem to have taken control of every junior officer."
NOG: Well, if no one else will... Comms, open an all-points channel.
"Open, sir."
NOG: This is Captain Nog of the _USS Chimera_ . Under my authorization, all systems immediately initiate Beta Protocol and Kappa Protocol.
[The screens now show 'beta' and 'kappa' symbols in the corners. The ships stop responding to Vox's commands]
"Captain?"
NOG: Just a second, some of the assimilated crews might've gotten themselves into command consoles quickly enough to lock out one or both protocols. Prepare for combat.
"Yes, sir. All combat systems report ready."
NOG: To explain, a bunch of us in Starfleet got tired of the Borg taking control, and also of our systems being hacked. Beta Protocol immediately scans every ship, the whole ship, for Borg signatures, which are then transported into specially designed brig cells. Kappa Protocol hermetically seals each ship from each other so as to avoid the spread of any code that can act like a virus and hijack any of the systems, and then it purges the system of any and all foreign coding.
"Such as Borg coding in the transporter systems, even though we cleared all that out of _Chimera_ during maintenance."
NOG: Precisely. The secured ships can then communicate with one another using transmission microbursts, too small for any malware to use to get across. And transmitting protocol activation over any Starfleet frequency ensures the activation will reach any vessel using any Starfleet channel. We just have to watch out for the odd ship where the crew couldn't regain control.
"Sir, the _Enterprise_ is approaching. The shields are up, and they are charging weapons."
NOG: Like that. Go to combat speed, and prepare to run it out. We'll take its attention as long as we can. Tactical, when I signal, send this code."
"Ready, sir."
NOG: Go. Adjust shields as needed, this'll take me a moment.
"Sir, shields are barely holding."
"I'm not sure how much more I can evade, Captain."
NOG: Just as often and as much as it counts. There, sent. Helm, bring us around. Tactical, reinforce those forward shields, but hold fire.
"Shields are buckling!"
NOG: Emergency separation, now!
" _USS Aquarius_ and the saucer section..?"
NOG: Sending the controls to SCIENCE 1 and TACTICAL 1. If this worked, you should have the _Aquarius_ and the stardrive section.
"Got it sir,"
"Ready when you are."
NOG: Excellent. Bring us about and into formation. Helm, remember to keep us within 10k of both of them. _Aquarius_ first, then _Chimera_ , and finally the _Enterprise_ stardrive. Oh, and fire to disable. She may be retiring today, but that's still our flagship."
"All stations ready."
NOG: Activate Tactical Mode. Engage.
Also in season 2 of Picard the jurati Borg were also doing it
The stations activating have nothing to do with the lights.
Thank you Terry Matalas.
Personally, I still would've cut out all the nostalgia porn insert shots of the LCARS screens coming on and whatnot. And if I could, I woulda toned down the try-hardness of the soundtrack in spots.
Just clearing up some of that "talking down to our stupid audience" blatant emotional manipulation that plagues this era of Trek and making it more subtle and not as "in your face."
I love nostalgia porn
Wait.. how is Data back??
they made a new Data
Geordi was going to “save it for a surprise someday”…. Really? When? Picard has one foot in the grave already. Sim or not.
They're not supposed to jump to warp inside a solar system, and these guys jump to warp right out of the garage door. ST:ENT started this crap. Over a decade of BadRobot destroying Trek, I felt nothing from this scene buy annoyance from the decade of destruction.
They were in a hurry...
it was destroyed tho
Just keep Deanna away from the helm!
Engage!
