** Topped off by the woman in the center seat - ADMIRAL Elizabeth Shelby. More than thirty years after telling Riker that she was after his seat, she manages to get to the center chair of the Enterprise for the Enterprise-F's final official flight.
*** As negated as it might be by the Borg's takeover, Shelby also clearly is listening to Picard's warning when the Titan breaks in to the Starfleet signal. The Changeling infiltration has had the Titan crew and the Enterprise veterans marked as renegades and outlaws, but Shelby is clearly willing to believe it when Jean-Luc Picard gives a warning.

* The return of Ro Laren of all people, now a Commander and working for Starfleet Intelligence (and, as we learn later on in the episode, alongside Worf). Particularly notable for the out of universe shock this was - sure, the audience was expecting cameos in the final season, but the return of Michelle Forbes to Star Trek was kept quiet enough to be a genuine surprise.

** Also, for those who haven't been happy with the redesign that the original Constitution class ''Enterprise'' has had for its appearances in ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' and ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds,'' the ''New Jersey'' is proudly in the same design as the ''Enterprise'' was during her days on TOS, giving the classic design a clear image in HD.

* The senior crew of the USS Excelsior. While they are ultimately killed by the rest of the fleet along with their ship you have to give credit that they were able to fight back and regain control of the ship. They even managed to track down the location of the signal’s source and broadcast it to anyone who might be listening.

** And even ''this'' can't be understated. The franchise brought this moment ''live'' for special events, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7uQN8FCiqo and the crowd. Went. Insane.]] Many other franchises across pop culture had brought iconic characters back just recently--''Series/TheMandalorian'' had Luke Skywalker in Season 2, ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' brought all three Spider-Men together, ''Anime/PokemonJourneysTheSeries'' gave Serena a chance to come back, etc.--but even their return was hoped for by most on some level. Tears were shed, minds were blown, and fans cheered in unison, as ''no one'' saw the ''D'' coming back; ''Trek'' did the impossible, and went out of its way to bring back the second most iconic holder of the ''Enterprise'' name BackFromTheDead, have her old crew join her, save the galaxy one last time, and bring fans together to say: '''Thank You Terry!'''.

2364 (when Q first appeared) was 37 years before 2401, not 35; just a minor edit to that.

** Speaking of the ''G'', Starfleet saw fit to change her name from ''Titan''-A in honor of the ''Enterprise''-D crew. Two seasons ago, Jean-Luc Picard was the man Starfleet saw up and leave because he wouldn't stand with them in their most desparate hour. Now, there's no doubt that Picard is the true hero of Starfleet, and the ''G'' will be carrying that torch for both him, the ''D'' crew, and all those ships named ''Enterprise'' before and after her.

** And even that can't be understated. Last fans saw her, the ''D'' was little more than a crashed saucer, left to rot on Veridian III if not outright scrapped. Eagle-eyed viewers got information in Season 2 that Starfleet took the saucer off the planet and put her in the Fleet Museum, so they were expecting her to show up. What ''wasn't'' expected was that Geordi had restored her ''from scratch'', scavenging other parts from ''Galaxy'' class ships to make her whole again over the course of twenty years. And when the crew steps onto the bridge of their old ship, '''they perfectly rebuilt the old bridge set down to the last detail!'''.
* Not to be outdone, ''Star Trek'' finally brings the ''Enterprise''-F into live-action for the first time, and she pulls off one hell of a final shakedown run. Sure, it gets ruined by the Borg, but the ''F'' certainly lived up to her reputation as the heir to the most famous name in Starfleet.


Added DiffLines:

* The ''Enterprise''-D, now fully restored, is finally given the retirement she deserves--not as a rusting hulk on Veridian III with only her saucer section left, not as a junked wreck left floating in space, and not destroyed like her predecessor--The Fleet Museum, nestled between the ''Stargazer'' and the ''Enterprise''-A. She's joined the ''Defiant'', ''Voyager'', and the ''NX-01'' as one of the big name ships in the franchise to survive, and tales will be told of her legend well into the future.

** This cannot be understated. In the DarkestHour, when all the more recent and up-to-date ships are unavailable, Picard and his old crew need a ship. A ''reliable'' ship. A vessel that can give them what they need to save the day. And what they find for the task is a fan-favorite, an old legend, restored to her prime for one last run.
