    I remember the summer of ’90 waiting for the conclusion of BoBW seemed like forever!

    solidarity to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikers, but I’m sad we’ll have to wait so long :(

      What was the thinking around that time ... did people think Picard was gone for good or was there an expectation that they'd find a way to get him back?

        oh, we about shit our pants. I was… 11? I watched with my dad, and I think it’s the first time I ever heard him say, “what the fuck!”

        Discussions were furiously heated. Would Picard become a new Borg terror? Would he be saved? Nobody knew! I cried. I cried a lot because afaik, my hero was dead.. worse than dead— assimilated!

        Then Riker says, “FIRE!” and I’m like, “NOOOOO!!!"

        we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. I’m still traumatized form that fucking cliffhanger!

          Oh god!

          What was it like watching the resolution then? How did episode 2 of season 4 hit given the cliffhanger?

            cathartic with lots of “fuck ya!” and crying

            How did episode 2 of season 4 hit given the cliffhanger?

            more crying. also, RIP René (and I totally noticed the same actor played young Jean-Luc in S06 episode Rascals)

        It’s really great that they’re working to get the actors their fair share of those streaming residuals.

        Have you seen how little they get from Netflix, et al? It’s horrible!
