Rico, you've done it again. Another great podcast! I enjoyed all the comments. Rick, great song!

Listened today, great job, Rico. What you said about the flaws in the technical aspects of the story not mattering to you had me jumping out of my seat in agreement. I've listened to and read all the complaints over the years about the story not making sense, or the nitpicks about the "science" behind the story, and would just shake my head at how people just didn't get it. You expressed my sentiments to a "T". The mechanics of the story were ultimately just a simple framework for bringing everything we loved about the cast of characters back for one last spin. The idea of showing us the past, present, and one possible future was in my opinion brilliant and the perfect way to bring the series to an end without closing the door for good.

Thanks Joby - and everyone else that has been enjoying the cast. Yeah, if you get too wound up in the technobabble of it all you won't enjoy it as much I think. And ultimately the plot was a mechanism to show us the crew that we all had come to love after watching them for seven seasons.

I finished listening to this a few days ago and as per usual I enjoyed it. I really liked all the comments from everybody and thought it was cool how much in common I thought our comments were. And it didn't matter if we were male or female, from the U.S. or England or from California or Ohio. And I liked Meds comment or should I say his daughter. "DADDY!" How cute was that! Great job as always!

It was a great podcast (as always). It brought back some bitter sweet memories of seeing the series' finale way-back in 1994 (was it really that long ago)!

I had become so used to the show and it's characters, and it was coming to an end! :( It was good to see Tasha back again. I alway wondered if Denise Crosby ever regretted her decision to leave the show, though it ensured that Worf was able to develop, and he was a more interesting character than Tasha was.

That final scene of the show always gets me, especially when Troi said 'you were always welcome,' to Picard. :'( I knew we had a film being made with the TNG crew, but something special was coming to an end.

There was a listener comment from Sue (?) who said how young she was when she first saw this episode...she made me feel old!! lol!!

I guess the comments on the science are reasonable, but up until now I have to say I'd never noticed. I was another viewer who simply took this as a final (small screen) ride with the characters I'd come to know.

The final scene still has an impact, as much through memory as anything else, and it makes me wonder what differences we might have seen if that had taken place at the end of the first series rather than the last.

A great episode to podcast on. Thanks.

I can't explai why but I always remember the stardate that Worf says when Picard asks him "47988". It's just one of those odd things that sticks in my mind.

Hi Rico, I got done listening to podcast 321 all good things last week. It was a great podcast. I still remember when I first saw it broadcast. I enjoyed the listener comments on the podcast. That was a great episode of TNG and it seem a very fit ending to have Picard go have to deal with Q all over again like when they first met. look forward to listen to the other podcast I have downloaded.
