Matt Gemmell, writer, joins Scott to talk about “All Good Things…” (TNG SE7E25). Random Trek’s frist double length episode marks the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Gerenation ever, and possibility its best.
Three different timelines, multiple shots of Picard in his jammies, and more cats than you can shake a positronic brain at can all be found in TNG’s finale. As well as some very touching character moments and a fine send off to the Enterprise crew.
The twitter account Matt mentions is tng_s8 (for those of use who can’t accept that the 7th season was the final season).
