The Enterprise-D vs The Borg - one last time

we waited 35 years to watch the Enterprise open fire like that.

Darth Vader - "I now have a cool new corridor scene!" Luke Skywalker - "I also now have a cool new corridor scene!" 1701-D - "Hold my Phaser bank."

Enterprise -D to the Borg: "You have threatened me. You have threatened my crew. And you have threatened my Captain and his family. ASSIMILATE THIS!! "

Picard in Generations : “ Unfortunately,the Enterprise cannot be salvaged “ Geordi: “ Yeah we’ll see about that..

Thanks to the effects department for finally showing that the Enterprise D absolutely can dance.

After all this time, we finally get to see EVERY phaser array open up! Dorsal, ventral, port, starboard, forward, and even the aft array flanking the photon launcher. She really kicked ass here, and thanks to Beverly for making it so.

Terry Matalas: "Let's Make Sure That HISTORY Never Forgets The Name....ENTERPRISE D"

I love the fact they used the classic 'bubble' shields on the D where all the more modern ships have the hull hugging versions.

Finally an Enterprise that kicks ass and doesn’t end up being blown up/crashed/fed to a temporal anomaly I’m so glad the lady has had the fitting send off she always deserved

20 years to actually see the Enterprise kick some ass. It was worth it.

"Why am I sensing enjoyment?" Then pan to Data's huge grin. That's not enjoyment, Counsellor, that's pure and utter joy! 😂

I hated how the Enterprise got destroyed in Generations. I hated the thought that they just scrapped or left her to rot. This show fixed all of that, gave her the most badass showing she's ever had, and as the cherry on top gave her a comfortable retirement in the museum. It's like Dr. McCoy said back in Encounter At Farpoint. "You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home."

Great to see the D get the glorious hero sequences she deserved. She was a cast member as much as any of the actors. Unleashing her arsenal, sweeping through the cube, swinging down to save Picard and company from the explosion - just the most epic thing I’ve ever seen. This episode of Star Trek is my favourite. The season is one of the best ever. The music, the acting, the effects - just such a return to form. I didn’t think I’d ever feel this way again. I’m so glad I got to watch it with my dad. He and I watched TNG together from the start when I was only 5. Tonight, we watched this episode together. 30+ years later - and what a payoff. Just spectacular.

I've never seen a building fly through the insides of another building with such grace before.

As much as I liked the Sovereign class, seeing the Enterprise D kicking ass, doing a trench run and Data handbrake turning a Galaxy class star ship satisfied me beyond all words!

This is a museum ship? The Enterprise D still looks like the flagship of Starfleet here. I absolutely love this. Thank you Terry Matalas for bringing Star Trek back!

As a kid who grew up in the 90s, THIS was my Enterprise. I know everyone has a favorite, but this one is mine. It was so emotionally moving to see that ship resurrected one last time to defeat the bad guys and save the day. To me, it's the best Enterprise. And she gets to live on, no longer, as Riker said, "Gone before her time."

We all know the Enterprise E was a beast. We all seen what a Galaxy class could do when configured for battle in DS9 during the Dominion War. But seeing the Enterprise D be rebuilt, come in wrecking faces and showing us all what she could really do is a wonderful surprise and a superb ending to this series. Its been a very long time since anything Star Trek has had me this excited and drawn me in emotionally like this. THIS is what the franchise desperately needed. The star power of the TNG crew and the Enterprise D saved the universe. Not only on screen, but the Star Trek universe as a whole. Thank you Terry Matalas for giving us what we all wanted and needed and taking us for one last ride with arguably the most loved ship and crew in Star Trek history.

Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is what a Galaxy-class starship can do. Hot damn, what a ride!

Such a beautiful swan song for the Enterprise-D, especially given the context. The first human ship the Borg ever came into contact with, the same ship that managed to slip from their clutches multiple times, now risen from the grave just to put them out of their misery once and for all. The Borg truly lived and died as the D's bitch
