History Recap / StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E24AllGoodThings

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Riker and Worf in the alternate future. Riker opposed Worf's budding relationship with Troi because he wanted to get back together with her, which made Worf back off. As Troi later died, both blamed the other for preventing a relationship. Riker noted that he tried to mend fences at Deanna's funeral but Worf refused to talk to him. Both quickly blamed the other for putting the rest of them at harm's way.

* BackForTheFinale: Creator/DeniseCrosby as Tasha Yar (and Colm Meaney too for the 2364 sequences). Also Creator/AndreasKatsulas as Tomalak, in a brief cameo.

* ImprobableInfantSurvival: The anomaly causes Ogawa to suffer a miscarriage of sorts (the fetus grows younger, disappearing eventually). It's undone when everything is reset, though.

* AsYouKnow: Geordi reminds Future Picard that relations between the Klingons and the Federation are not good. Picard snaps that he already knows that.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The Future Enterprise-D was modified with a third nacelle with added stardrive space, an underslung "phaser lance" and bulbous devices mounted near the bridge. All of this goes against standard Starfleet ship designs, which tend to favor smooth hull lines and even numbered nacelles. Being a one-off design of [[ShrodingersCanon questionable canonicity]], it's generally overlooked.

* ConvectionSchmonvection: When Picard visits primeval Earth. {{Justified}} as he's with a RealityWarper who can cancel out whatever laws of physics he likes.

-->'''Q:''' The part about the helping hand, though ... was my idea.

-->'''Tasha:''' The temporal energy's interfering with main power. Switching to...
-->'''Geordi:''' ... auxiliary power. I'm having trouble keeping the impulse engines online. I've got power fluctuations all across the board.

* AmicablyDivorced: Picard and Beverly in the alternate future. She even keeps his last name, leading to a moment where a BridgeBunny says, "Captain," and both she and Picard respond, "Yes?" (This moment is revisited in ''Picard'' Season 3.)

He gives the order in the present as well, and all three ''Enterprises'' head in. The warp shell begins to collapse the anomaly, but the strain it puts on the ships is intense. The past ''Enterprise'' experiences a warp core breach and explodes. The present ''Enterprise'' soon follows. The future ''Enterprise'' begins to lose containment as well, and as all seems lost, Q shows up to say goodbye and remind him, "[[TitleDrop All good things]] [[EndOfSeriesAwareness must come to an end]]". As the final ''Enterprise'' explodes, Picard appears in the courtroom again. Q congratulates him on saving humanity. Picard thanks Q for helping him, and Q admits that he did go out of his way to give them a fighting chance. When Picard says that he hopes never to find himself in this courtroom again, Q tells him that the trial never ends. He goes on to say that the exploration that awaits humanity isn’t space travel, but exploring the possibilities of existence, as Picard did when he realized the paradox. He then fades away, promising to watch over humanity and maybe drop by from time to time.

** Geordi still got married and had children, but he married Dr. Leah Brahms and had three kids instead of marrying the as-yet-seen wife and having two daughters like he did in the Prime Reality. Instead of becoming Curator of the Fleet Museum and being promoted to Commodore, he became an author. Despite this, he is one of the only characters who actually has anything in common with his counterpart from this timeline: both of them have daughters named Sidney.
