Had to post it, because I keep loving this video. This moment will go down in Star Trek history. Without teh sahdow of a doubt. 🖖

I wish there was a recording of the entire stream.

    While the third season had its flaws they certainly hit all the right emotional notes. I must have watched those final 5 minutes dozens of times when it first aired because I just couldn’t believe what happened. Not necessarily what happened on screen but what happened to me. I felt like that kid again that watched TOS reruns and TNG, I felt like there’s a brighter future ahead because my heroes did once again instill hope. When the lights came on on the bridge – in stark contrast to the dimly lit 8½ episodes before it – suddenly it felt like anything would be possible. Not just in this TV show. But really anything.

    Maybe I’m a bit theatrical but in those five minutes I forgot all my worries (which is quite a feat because I’m one of those broody persons) and felt like I was coming home. I’ve never felt anything like that when consuming any sort of media.

    Thanks to everyone involved. I’ll cherish those five minutes forever.

    It was a beloved member of the cast, just as much as any other character. That it was unceremoniously killed off in the first movie and replaced by a stuffed shirt we never got to know or care about, I always felt, was part of why the movies never really captured the magic of the television show. Seeing the Enterprise-D again was all the proof I needed to know it was true.

    Basically, yes!

    Made me think though, if there were to be a “Legacy” series or whatever, having a neo-Galaxy class just as there’s a neo-Constitutional class, would probably go down like very fine wine. Like the boeing 747, there’s just something about that shape that works very well for many of us!!

    I don’t think I’ve ever screamed so loud at my TV before. I was loosing my shit at this moment. I was stunned. What a high. Possibly one of the best memories of fandom I have in my life now.

    The whole season I hoped to see Barclay again. The one character that was missing for me for the series to be complete.
